Please note that, especially in cases where the third party provider is a low-cost airline (e.g. EasyJet, Ryan Air, Vueling, Air Berlin, etc), according to the cancellations and changes policy of those companies, users should directly contact the relevant airline to ask for the handling of their request for cancellation or change of a ticket was purchased through VIVA.

Please note that in the context of its facilitator activities in the field of event tickets, VIVA normally provides Third Providers (e.g. organisers and/or producers of any event, etc) only with its information system for the reservation and issue of their tickets, without collecting the relevant price itself. The price corresponding to the reservation and issue of event tickets from any VIVA channel (online or physical network, proprietary or owned by VIVA partners and agents), using any method of payment (card, cash, etc.), is normally collected through a payment services provider referred to in Law 3862/2010 cooperating with each Third Provider being the legal recipient that directly receives all proceeds, in accordance with the provisions of the above Law (Law 3862/2010).

VIVA may not be held liable for pecuniary or other loss if for any reason the user has not received a booking/transaction confirmation.

1.2.2 PRICE LIST



The cost of each product offered through the Website will be determined by the relevant Third Provider and communicated to VIVA, inclusive of imposed taxes and duties. VIVA will not be responsible for the level of, and/or any changes to, these prices.

1.2.3 CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS - REFUND PROCEDURE



Third Providers will be solely responsible for providing the option and determining the procedure of cancellation or change in the reservation or in the supply of products they provide, in line with the terms they establish and disclose to the public. Cancellations are typically not possible, while changes, if so permitted by a Third Provider, are usually allowed within a specific time limit from the date of the event selected by the user.
Before making a purchase, users may request information in writing or by phone from VIVA in relation to the changes and cancellations policy applied by the relevant Third Provider. Users who wish to cancel or change their reservation or a product supplied through the Website may contact VIVA at support@viva.gr. If a Third Provider’s terms allow for cancellation or change, users will be informed accordingly, and the relevant terms will also apply to any refund and to any amount that might be withheld as cancellation fee. In this context, a user may have to directly contact the Third Provider to complete the cancellation, change or refund procedure, if this option is available.

As mentioned in paragraph 1.2 above, considering that VIVA normally does not collect the price for the reservation and issue of Third Provider event tickets, VIVA will not make refunds to consumers for any reason, and consumers may not raise any such claim against VIVA. Any claims of service users (consumers) may be submitted directly to the relevant Third Provider that has collected the price from the issue of the tickets.

Village Cinemas tickets:

VIVA in no case proceeds to changes or cancellations of Village Cinemas tickets. To this end, User is requested to contact the corresponding movie theater no later than 30 minutes from the start of the movie, in order to submit a request, according to the Third Provider’s Terms of Use published here: https://www.villagecinemas.gr/el/oroi-hrisis/.
