Validation for the use of the service is subject to your acceptance and compliance, so if you do not agree with these conditions, please do not use the Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO services.
The specific Conditions included in this section, plus Skitude's General Conditions of Service, together constitute the entirety of the provisions governing the contract between users and Skitude with regard to the Skitude Instant Access/SKIOO service. You can see the information regarding the processing of your personal data in the corresponding section of our <g id="2298">Privacy Policy</g>.
The "Skitude Instant Access/SKIOO" service allows you to immediately access any compatible ski resort, avoiding queues, through the Skitude Instant Access/SKIOO cards. Any user registered on the Skitude platform may link at least one Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO card to their account. This card will be provided to the user and must be carried by the user in order to access the facilities of compatible resorts through the access control portal.
Specifically, the SKIOO service offers the user the same advantages and functions described in the previous paragraph, but remains the exclusive service for users in Switzerland and managed directly by the SKIOO AS entity. The user will obtain the SKIOO card once they have registered on the SKIOO platform and accepted the Terms and Conditions.
The contract starts when the user links their pass with the user's Skitude account or registers with SKIOO and will be extended indefinitely. In order to do so, the user must follow the steps indicated on the different screens and must choose a payment or service method and accept these conditions of use prior to contracting.
Contracting the service by linking your ski pass to your Skitude account or through your SKIOO registration will only be charged or access to ski resorts charged in due time according to the prices given.
To benefit from the services of Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO, you can select the following payment methods to be chosen when linking your pass to the Skitude account or when contracting the SKIOO service:
1. Automatic payment: your credit/debit card will be linked to your Skitude / SKIOO account so that charges will be made automatically when you access the resorts.
2. Wallet or prepaid: the user can provide funds to their Skitude / SKIOO account that can be used only for products added to the service.
The balance added to the user's account can be used for a period of 24 months (see "Cancellation of service" section).
The payment process for using the service is made through Datatrans or any secure payment service provider authorised for future changes, which in any case will provide the secure payment platform through an SSL protocol. Customer's credit card details are automatically sent to servers and banks. The payment service provider records all credit card details in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Skitude does not have access to card data at any time, as this data is encrypted and protected by the payment service provider.
To perform the transaction or link the credit/debit card successfully, the user must follow the instructions displayed during each stage of the process. Each time a payment is made, a confirmation email will be sent with the order details and the specific order confirmation number.
An order will only be approved when the payment banks in question accept the payment. If rejected by the entity, the order will be automatically cancelled and the customer will be notified by email. Skitude reserves the right to reject any request from a user with pending disputes.
The price reported when the Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO cards are purchased includes taxes and any transaction fees, and is the total billing period cost.
The prices applied by Skitude when using the service are identical in all respects to the prices offered by compatible ski resorts, except for seasonal fares, resident fares or combined fares for passes for several non-consecutive days, as Skitude does not offer these fare combinations.
In the event of a discrepancy between the rate billed by Skitude and that provided by the resort, the case will be handled as follows:
The user can change the payment method at any time through their account, and unlink the card at any time. This can be done in the 'Payment Methods' section. When the card is unlinked, you can top up your Instant Access card with the amount you want by clicking on the 'Preload' button.The SKITUDE PREMIUM service terms and conditions regulate the parties’ obligations and rights inherent in the contractual relationship established between Skitude Technologies SL and the user/subscriber, once the latter acquires the service.
How to unsubscribe your card in your Skioo/Skitude Instant Access profile10.1 Our SKITUDE PREMIUM service
How to unsubscribe from your Skioo/Skitude Instant Access account
You must send an email to the following addresses requesting the account closure:
Concerning the purchase of your pass or right of access to the resorts compatible with the Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO card, and to get immediate access to the facilities, we inform you that the service has a specific execution period, which is the date when the user accesses the resort. The right of withdrawal will therefore not apply.
Considering the above, when the user has accessed via the resort access door, the service becomes irrevocable. The Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO service is limited to providing a form of quick access to linked resorts and facilitating user payment. Therefore, Skitude is not responsible for your time in the facilities, including exceptional circumstances such as illness, accidents, closure of slopes or lifts and/or adverse weather conditions. In exceptional circumstances, Skitude will act in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective compatible complexes or resorts.
Similarly, the user consents to Skitude proceeding to immediately terminate the contract if we consider that the former’s use of the service breaches these conditions or any applicable laws. The conditions include the fact that the cardholder can only benefit from the Service if their identity matches that indicated in their Skitude profile. In these cases, the termination of the contract may lead to the immediate cancellation of the user's account and the blocking of access to the slopes, with no refunds provided. The user will be informed of the right to appeal the decision.
More information can be found in the corresponding section of the General Conditions applicable to Skitude Services.
The use of the services offered by the Skitude Group (hereinafter, Skitude) integrated in the web platform and the Skitude app, the Skioo web platform, and in any app developed by the Skitude Group (hereinafter, Skitude Services), means your personal data will be processed. This privacy policy tells you how we process your data and your rights of access, rectification, erasure and other data protection rights.
Personal data collected by the mobile applications and/or through the website, or by any other means, your location and activity on our platforms, including the IP address you connect from (stored for security and fraud purposes) and other data stemming from using the Skitude Services, are processed by Skitude pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on General Data Protection (GDPR), based on your consent, to manage all aspects of our business and contractual relationships, including the sending of commercial communications (including via email).
The social features of the Skitude platform allow you to share your information with other platform users and with the ski resorts and businesses located in various countries worldwide, including those outside the European Union.
The controller is SKITUDE TECHNOLOGIES, S.L. with its place of business at CTRA. ANTIGA D'AMER, 10 2º B, 17007 Girona (Spain). Furthermore, you may contact Skitude's data protection officer by sending an email to dpo@skitudeservices.com.
When the service requires invoicing, depending on location or the service contracted, this may be done by the company that directly manages such invoicing. The data controller for invoicing activity may therefore be another Skitude Group company other than that notified in this privacy policy. For users who use the SKIOO service, the data controller for invoicing the service, where applicable, will be SKIOO. All other provisions of this privacy policy also apply in this case.
Your personal data collected through mobile applications and/or websites, or any other means, your location and activity on our platforms, including the IP you connect from (for reasons of security and fraud), and other necessary data, are used to provide you with our services.
When you register for Skitude or use Skitude's functions, from a sponsored app or a ski resort's app, and when you take part in a challenge or timed route, or define a ski resort as a favourite, you are authorising the transfer of your data to the ski resort or any commercial partner. If you do not agree, you cannot use the sponsored app or take part in challenges or timed routes, but you may still use other Skitude services, including the website and the official Skitude app.
In addition, when you contract the Skitude Premium service and the Skitude Instant Access / SKIOO service, your data will be used to provide and bill you for this service, based on the execution of a contract and the fulfilment of the controller’s legal obligations, during the execution time of this contract.
