An event reserved after the announcements of July 12."If the event is maintained and the consumer knew that a health pass (proof of his vaccination, a negative test or his healing) was compulsory to go, his rights to reimbursement following the cancellation of hisreservation depend on the conditions of its reservation.If they do not provide for the modification or cancellation at no cost, the refund is not guaranteed.It will then be necessary to negotiate a postponement or a credit with the organizer of the event.»In summary: no cancellation without fees or possible refund, unless the organizer voluntarily proposes it.
