You are a Paris Opera customer and the holder of at least one ticket/voucher purchased on the www.operadeparis.fr website and wish to be insured in case a performance is cancelled.
In such an event, the Show Cancellation Insurance applies, along with the coverage of which conditions, limits and exclusions are specified in the IInformation Sheet available on the www.operadeparis.fr website and which you must read before you sign up.
If the guaranteed Performance takes place within 30 days after you subscribe to the contract, you will not be able to cancel your subscription (article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code and article L112-2-1 of the French Insurance Code).
If the guaranteed Performance takes place more than 30 days after you subscribe to the contract, you may cancel your subscription to the insurance within 30 (thirty) calendar days after you receive the Subscription Certificate, by simply cancelling your Paris Opera subscription.
In this case, you can exercise your right to waive this Contract via a registered letter or any durable medium addressed to:
Opéra National de Paris
Service des Relations avec le Public 120, rue de Lyon 75012 PARIS
Sample waiver letter: "I, the undersigned, [Name, First Name and Address], hereby cancel my subscription to the "Show Cancellation Insurance", Contract n° ICIOPAS16. Done on Date at Place, Signature".
The Paris Opera, in the name and on behalf of the Insurer, will reimburse the insurance, the amount of the premium paid within thirty days after you exercise your right of cancellation. During the cancellation period, if a Claim is made under the conditions laid out in Article 6 of this Information Sheet, you will no longer be able to exercise your right of cancellation, as this statement establishes the Subscriber’s agreement to execute the Contract.

Complaints
In case of difficulty or dissatisfaction relating to the management of the Subscription, contributions or claims, any individual may submit a complaint to SPB's Complaint Department, which can be referred to in the following ways:
SPB's Complaints Department commits to acknowledging receipt of the complaint formulated in writing within 10 business days after it was sent
(even if response to the complaint is also provided within this period) and to respond to the complaint within a maximum of 2 months after it was sent (unless special circumstances occur, in which case the claimant will be informed).
The aforementioned procedure does not apply if a court has been seized regarding the dispute.
You may also refer to the Médiation de l'Assurance (Insurance Mediation) if you remain dissatisfied (or if no response has been given within 2 months after your complaint):
The Mediator, a person distinct of the SPB manager and the Insurer, independently provides an opinion. If the disagreement were to persist, recourse to legal action remains possible. Any disputes arising in the absence of an amicable agreement shall fall within the jurisdiction of the French civil courts. The claimant has a period of one year from the date of their first written complaint to refer the matter to Insurance Mediation.
