1.3 Order placement entails the CUSTOMER’s express, unconditional acceptance of all of the clauses and conditions set out in the present GTS. Consequently, the CUSTOMER represents and warrants that he/she is fully familiar with these clauses and conditions and, therefore, waives any invocation of any other document. 
1.4 MARINELAND reserves the right to unilaterally modify the present GTS, at any time, and to apply the new GTS to any Orders placed after the date of modification. 
1.5 If MARINELAND opts not to invoke any of the present conditions during a given period of time, this shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any subsequent invocation of said condition or, more generally, any of the conditions set out herein. 
1.6 Regardless of any terminology that may be employed, the present GTS shall apply to services rendered and shall not entail any transfer of ownership, such that none of the provisions herein may be interpreted as constituting an actual sale of property. 
2 - Orders
2.1 Orders of Tourism Products are subject to the present GTS, as well as to the parks’ rules and regulations. 
2.2 To place an Order, the CUSTOMER must log in, after first having created a secure account with his/her own identifiers (username and password). After logging in, the CUSTOMER will fill out the form, providing the details of the desired services. Before any Order is submitted, the CUSTOMER will have the opportunity to review his/her selection (Order) and edit it as he/she sees fit. The Order will only be finalized after the third and final validation of the Order summary screen. That last click will have the same value as the handwritten signature referenced in Article 1341 of the French Civil Code (hereinafter referred to as the “acceptance click”). After the acceptance click described above, the Order will be considered as final and irrevocable and may then only be altered in specific cases, an exhaustive list of which is provided below. Before that click, the CUSTOMER will be able to identify and correct any errors. 
2.3 Upon submission of an Order, the CUSTOMER’s computer will automatically be redirected to a page confirming final acceptance of the Order. The CUSTOMER will also receive a confirmation email. Either of these two forms of confirmation may be produced to obtain access to the Park. For that reason, the CUSTOMER using the ordered services must print out the confirmation, in accordance with Article 2.6 below. 
2.4 MARINELAND guarantees that the CUSTOMER’s bank account will only be debited once, via MARINELAND’s secure payment site, for the total amount of the Order for Tourism Products, at the time of final submission as set out in Article 2.2.
