GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Regulation for the sale and pre-sale of tickets and services for museums, monuments and events/exhibitions
Please read the terms and conditions set out below carefully, as they govern the contract for the sale or pre-sale of tickets. These general terms and conditions govern the sale of tickets and services (whereby services mean educational services, bookings of admission hours, etc.) for museums, monuments and events/exhibitions made by Coopculture upon mandate from, as well as in the name and on behalf of, the monument owner or the event organiser. Even if any of the rules referred to in this regulation are found not to apply, the others will continue to have full effect. In order to proceed with the purchase, after you have read the regulation you will be asked to select two boxes displayed to you during the purchase process for your approval - also specific - of these General Terms and Conditions prior to entering into the sale or pre-sale contract.
1. CUSTOMER INFORMATION
1.1 In accordance with Art. 49 of the Italian Consumer Code, the mandatory information is provided below:
The identity, registered office and contact details of Coopculture, as provider of the admission passes offered for sale on the website, are as follows:
Società Cooperativa Coopculture
Registered office: Corso del Popolo 40 – 30172 Venezia Mestre (VE
Tax Code: VAT no.: 03174750277
Email: info@coopculture.it,
Certified email: coopculture@pec.it
https://www.coopculture.it
1.2 The different types of admission passes are displayed directly on the website; the Customer can view them before making the purchase.
1.3 Coopculture reserves the right to modify/adjust the information and the prices of the admission passes, even without prior notice. Any lower price applied by Coopculture to admission passes of the same type acquired after the Customer has made the purchase will not entitle the latter to any reimbursement of the difference.
1.4 Exclusion of the right of withdrawal from the sale or pre-sale contract. Coopculture informs the Customer that, as the sale or pre-sale contract concerns the provision of recreational services which Coopculture undertakes to provide on a specific date, in accordance with Art. 59, paragraph I, letter n) of the Italian Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal envisaged by Art. 52 of that Code does not apply. The Customer may not, therefore, exercise this right in relation to the purchase of the admission passes.
1.5 The tickets are valid only for the date and time of the event and for the type of seat and price for which they were issued. Therefore, if the Purchaser fails, even for a justified and serious reason and/or due to an impediment, to visit the monument/participate in the event, Coopculture will not provide any reimbursement or refund of the price for the cost of the event, or of the pre-sale fees, as well as other costs incurred by the Purchaser in their own right (merely by way of example, travel or accommodation expenses).
1.6 These General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be changed at any time. Any changes will be effective from their publication on the website. Customers are therefore invited to visit the website regularly and to consult, before making any purchase, the most up-to-date version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

2.1 All customers/visitors must have a valid ticket (or admission pass) to access the monument or the event location.
2.2 The admission pass must be purchased through sales channels managed by Coopculture or by a party authorised by Coopculture to sell them. If the ticket was purchased by the customer/visitor from parties other than those indicated above, or if the ticket has been lost, stolen, duplicated or obtained by any means that contrasts with this regulation, the customer/visitor is not authorised to access the monument or the event location and may be asked to leave.

2.5 Coopculture reserves the right to withdraw, modify, suspend or interrupt any function or service for technical and/or organisational reasons or at the request of the monument owner, event organiser or authorities responsible for protecting public order and safety. In this case, the customer/visitor may ask Coopculture to replace or refund the paid ticket, waiving - with the pre-sale service request - any additional claim for damages, both financial and non-financial. In any case, Coopculture does not accept any liability for expenses and damages, direct or indirect, of any nature, incurred by the customer/visitor in relation to the sale of tickets and ancillary services.
2.6 Coopculture reserves the right to apply, for security reasons, limitations and exclusions to the payment instruments that can be used by the customer/visitor to purchase tickets and ancillary services.

2.13 For purchases by telephone or via the internet, the customer/visitor must verify that the reservation has been made correctly by checking the email confirmation.

No further changes may be requested subsequently either through the call centre or at the ticket office.
