The tickets offered for sale will be accepted, in the respective period of validity, in accordance with possible limitations which may apply. The transport capacity of the lift system facilities and the access to the lift facilities will be regulated in accordance with the provisions set by the authorities. Users acknowledge that, in consideration of the situation on the energy market and the unpredictability of energy supply costs, the decision regarding the opening of the lifts takes place on a daily basis, autonomously and at the discretion of the individual lift operators. Users therefore expressly declare that they accept the risk of limitations regarding the lifts that can be used and of the daily variability of the lifts in operation, that they consider, in the light of the various types of cards available and their own personal needs, that the card type actually chosen is in any case advantageous, and consequently accept the exclusion of any form of reimbursement, rebalancing or indemnity in cases of limitation or total closure of the usable lifts, and in any case to renounce it.

The verification of the correct use of the cards can also take place remotely and at a different moment of the abuse itself, through a video surveillance system ("Gate Control Camera"), installed at some lifts for dissuasive purposes. The related privacy policy pursuant to regulation (EU) 2016/679 is also available at the lifts. Both the period cards and the points value cards may be withdrawn, annulled, or suspended by authorized staff or control personnel in case of any violation of provisions set by provincial or regional regulations or by statute law. In case of improper use of the period cards issued free of charge to children (K) born after January 1st, 2015, both the card issued free of charge as well as the coupled adult card will be blocked and/or withdrawn.

Dolomiti Superski, the Valley consortia and the lift operators do not assume any guarantee regarding the uninterrupted functioning of the online shop. Even if the ticket is purchased prior to the start of the period of validity, art. 11 applies, according to which the purchase price is never refundable, by way of example, not even in the event of non-use or only partial use, cancelled holidays, unforeseen commitments, illness, etc. In instances where some of the information provided by the applicant during the online purchase process should result incorrect - therefore requiring the issue of a new card - an amount of € 10.00 (ten) will be charged as administration fee for any pass issued in substitution.
Lost tickets, are eligible for replacement within their validity period. In order to prevent improper use by third parties, holders will have to access one of the central issuing points and apply for substitution by presenting a valid ID and the purchase attest.

Only in case of hiking or biking accidents occurred on identified mountain bike tracks, by corresponding usage of the season tickets valid for the ongoing season, holders may receive a partial reimbursement of the price exclusively for their season card and unless they have a corresponding insurance cover. Partial reimbursement will be limited to the days following the day of reimbursement request and restitution of the season ticket. Applications for reimbursement are to be presented at the central sales offices within 15 days of the accident or, in case of hospitalization from discharge, together with the following documents:
• the season ticket itself.
• a copy of the medical certificate (issued by a doctor practicing - on a regular basis - in the Dolomiti Supersummer area, by a public local facility or by the hospital to which the patient was taken to), attesting that the one suffered was actually a hiking or mountain bike accident, preventing the patient from continuing any further practice of sports activities.
Individuals accompanying the injured holder are not entitled to apply for reimbursement.
The season tickets will be reimbursed by dividing the purchase price by 20 (being such figure based on the assumption that – according to ordinary habits - the card holders will be using the season ticket for 20 days), and by multiplying the average daily price obtained by the number of not used days, until reaching the maximum of the 20 days. Thus, season tickets already used for at least 20 days will not entitle their holders to apply for reimbursement. The number of days eligible for reimbursement is in any case limited to the days spendable before the season’s end, as defined by art. 5.
14. The ticket is an indispensable and irreplaceable transport document for the transportation of the card holder on the lift system facilities, as described in art.1. Tickets are never replaced nor refunded, except cases explicitly defined and regulated by conditions determined in arti. 12.
