Last updated: August 3, 2026

1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale, hereinafter referred to as the “GTC”, govern the contractual relationship between Fribourg Olympic Basket and any person making a purchase or reservation, including for:

  • clothing, accessories, and other items offered in the shop;
  • admission tickets for matches or other events;
  • season tickets;
  • VIP seats;
  • Hospitality services;
  • boxes, private areas, or services intended for businesses;
  • events, activities, or special services organized or marketed by Fribourg Olympic Basket.

These GTC apply to purchases made:

  • on the website https://fribourg-olympic.ch;
  • on an online shop linked to the website;
  • through a partner ticketing platform;
  • by email, phone, reservation form, or any other means accepted by Fribourg Olympic Basket;
  • on-site, when these GTC are brought to the customer’s attention.

Specific conditions may apply to certain products, tickets, subscriptions, or events. In case of contradiction, the specific conditions communicated during the order prevail over these GTC.

2. Identity of the Seller and Organizer

The products and services referred to in these GTC are offered by:

Fribourg Olympic Basket
Administration
Chemin St-Léonard 7
1700 Fribourg
Switzerland

Phone: +41 26 322 08 53
Email: info@fribourg-olympic.ch

Hereinafter “Fribourg Olympic”, “the Club”, “we”, or “the Organizer”.

When the sale is made on an external platform, this platform may act as a technical or contractual intermediary. Its own general conditions may also apply to the use of its services.

3. Acceptance of the GTC

The customer acknowledges having read these GTC before validating their order.

By validating their order, checking the corresponding acceptance box, or proceeding with payment, the customer accepts these GTC without reservation.

The customer confirms having the necessary legal capacity to enter into the contract.

When an order is placed on behalf of a company, association, or other organization, the person placing the order confirms being authorized to commit that organization.

4. Information on Products and Services

Fribourg Olympic strives to present products, tickets, and services accurately.

However, photographs, illustrations, seating plans, colors, dimensions, and other representations are provided for informational purposes only. Slight differences may exist between the online representation and the product actually delivered.

The essential characteristics, prices, and applicable availabilities are those indicated at the time of the order.

Information relating to matches and events, including dates, times, venues, teams, participants, programs, and ancillary services, may be modified under the conditions provided for in these GTC.

5. Order and Conclusion of Contract

5.1 Order Process

The customer selects the desired products or services, provides the requested information, verifies the summary of their order, and proceeds with payment according to the proposed methods.

Before final validation, the customer must check, in particular:

  • the selected products;
  • sizes, quantities, and variants;
  • the chosen date and event;
  • the ticket category;
  • the number of seats;
  • billing and delivery details;
  • the email address used to receive tickets;
  • the total amount of the order.

The customer is responsible for the accuracy of the information provided.

5.2 Conclusion of Contract

The presentation of a product, ticket, or service on the website constitutes an invitation to order and not a legally binding offer.

The contract is concluded when:

  • Fribourg Olympic or its service provider sends an order confirmation to the customer; or
  • the ticket, subscription, or product is delivered to the customer; or
  • Fribourg Olympic expressly confirms acceptance of a reservation.

A simple automatic acknowledgment of receipt does not necessarily constitute final acceptance when additional verifications are required.

5.3 Refusal or Cancellation of an Order

Fribourg Olympic may refuse or cancel an order, particularly in cases of:

  • unavailability of the product or service;
  • obvious pricing error;
  • payment incident or refusal;
  • suspicion of fraud;
  • purchase made using an automated system;
  • exceeding a ticket limit per person;
  • unauthorized commercial resale;
  • violation of these GTC;
  • impossibility of performing the service.

When an order already paid for is refused or canceled by Fribourg Olympic, the amounts concerned are refunded, subject to any sums remaining due by the customer.

6. Prices

Prices are indicated in Swiss Francs, CHF.

Unless otherwise indicated, prices include legally applicable taxes.

Additional fees may be added before order validation, including:

  • delivery fees;
  • processing fees;
  • ticketing fees;
  • payment method fees;
  • reservation fees;
  • personalization fees;
  • fees charged by a partner platform.

The total amount due is indicated before the final validation of the order.

Fribourg Olympic may modify its prices at any time. The applicable price is that displayed and accepted at the time of the order, subject to an obvious error.

7. Payment Methods

Available payment methods are indicated during the order process.

Depending on the channel used, payment may be made by:

  • debit or credit card;
  • electronic payment method;
  • bank transfer;
  • invoice, when such an option is expressly accepted;
  • on-site payment.

Online payments may be processed by an external provider. The customer may be subject to the terms of use of this provider.

Payment is due immediately, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

In case of payment by invoice, the deadline indicated on the invoice must be respected. Failure to pay by the due date, Fribourg Olympic may, in particular:

  • send a reminder;
  • suspend or cancel the order;
  • block the ticket or subscription;
  • refuse access to the event;
  • charge reasonably incurred reminder and collection fees;
  • claim default interest as provided by law.

8. Vouchers, Promotional Codes, and Credits

Vouchers, promotional codes, and credits:

  • are only valid during their validity period;
  • must be used according to the indicated conditions;
  • generally cannot be exchanged for cash;
  • cannot be combined, unless otherwise indicated;
  • cannot be used retroactively;
  • are not replaced in case of loss or unauthorized use attributable to the customer.

In case of cancellation of an order paid for using a credit or voucher, the refund may be made in the same form.

9. Specific Conditions Applicable to the Shop

9.1 Product Availability

Products are offered while stocks last.

If a product becomes unavailable after the order, Fribourg Olympic may:

  • offer an equivalent product;
  • propose an additional delivery time;
  • cancel the affected part of the order and refund it.

The customer remains free to refuse a replacement product.

9.2 Delivery

Available delivery territories and methods are indicated during the order.

Announced deadlines are indicative, unless there is an express written commitment for a firm date.

Fribourg Olympic is not responsible for delays caused by, in particular:

  • the carrier;
  • an incorrect or incomplete address;
  • the absence of the recipient;
  • customs formalities;
  • a case of force majeure;
  • an event reasonably beyond its control.

The customer must check the package upon receipt.

Any visible damage, incomplete package, or delivery error must be reported as soon as possible to info@fribourg-olympic.ch, accompanied by photographs and the order number.

9.3 Customs Fees

For deliveries outside Switzerland, taxes, customs duties, or import fees may be charged by authorities or the carrier.

Unless otherwise indicated, these fees are borne by the customer.

9.4 Transfer of Risks

Risks of loss or damage are transferred in accordance with applicable law.

When the customer chooses a carrier not offered by Fribourg Olympic, risks may be transferred upon delivery of the product to that carrier.

9.5 Retention of Title

Products remain the property of Fribourg Olympic until full payment of the order.

10. Absence of General Right of Withdrawal

Subject to any mandatory rules that may apply, Swiss law does not provide a general right allowing the customer to withdraw from an online purchase simply because they have changed their mind.

Orders are therefore firm upon acceptance.

Fribourg Olympic may nevertheless voluntarily grant a return or exchange under the conditions provided below.

Tickets, subscriptions, Hospitality services, reservations, and services linked to a specific date cannot be canceled by the customer, unless expressly stated otherwise.

11. Returns and Exchanges of Shop Products

11.1 Voluntary Return

Subject to the exclusions below, the customer may request the return of an unused product within 14 calendar days of its receipt.

The return must be announced in advance to:

info@fribourg-olympic.ch

The product must be:

  • unused;
  • unworn;
  • unwashed;
  • complete;
  • in its original packaging, if possible;
  • with its labels;
  • accompanied by proof of purchase.

The acceptance of a voluntary return constitutes a commercial gesture and not the recognition of a general legal right of withdrawal.

11.2 Products Excluded from Returns

The following cannot be returned or exchanged, in particular:

  • personalized products;
  • flocked or custom-printed jerseys;
  • products manufactured according to customer specifications;
  • worn, washed, damaged, or incomplete products;
  • unsealed products that cannot be returned for hygiene reasons;
  • gift cards and vouchers;
  • tickets and subscriptions;
  • sale or end-of-series products when expressly marked as non-returnable.

The legal rights applicable to defective products remain reserved.

11.3 Return Costs

Unless due to a delivery error or a defect attributable to Fribourg Olympic, the costs and risks of return are borne by the customer.

Initial delivery costs are not refunded, unless otherwise legally required or due to an error attributable to Fribourg Olympic.

11.4 Refund

When a return is accepted, the refund occurs after receipt and verification of the product.

Fribourg Olympic may refuse or reduce the refund when the product:

  • shows signs of use;
  • is incomplete;
  • has been damaged;
  • does not meet the return conditions.

The refund is made, as far as possible, using the original payment method.

12. Defective Products and Warranty

The customer must check the product as soon as reasonably possible and report any defect found without delay.

The claim must include:

  • the order number;
  • a precise description of the defect;
  • photographs allowing identification of the problem;
  • the date on which the defect was discovered.

In the presence of a proven defect, Fribourg Olympic chooses, within the limits permitted by law, the appropriate solution, including:

  • repair;
  • replacement;
  • a price reduction;
  • cancellation of the sale and refund.

The warranty does not cover, in particular:

  • normal wear and tear;
  • damage caused by misuse;
  • failure to follow care instructions;
  • accidental damage;
  • modifications made by the customer or a third party;
  • choosing an unsuitable size;
  • slight differences in color or appearance not constituting a defect.

The customer’s mandatory rights remain reserved.

13. Specific Conditions Applicable to Tickets

13.1 Ticket Validity

Each ticket grants access only to:

  • the indicated event;
  • the indicated date and time;
  • the indicated venue;
  • the indicated category or seat;
  • subject to compliance with these GTC and the venue regulations.

The ticket may be issued in electronic, printed, or physical form.

The customer must immediately check the information on their ticket and report any errors as soon as possible.

13.2 Ticket Control

The ticket must be presented at the control, in a legible form and with a usable barcode or QR code.

The first valid scan of the ticket invalidates it. Any subsequent copy will be refused.

The customer is responsible for the safekeeping and confidentiality of their ticket. They must not publish or transmit the image of the barcode or QR code.

Fribourg Olympic may request an identity document or proof of discount.

13.3 Discounted Tickets

Discounted rates may be reserved for, in particular:

  • children;
  • students;
  • AVS or AI beneficiaries;
  • persons with reduced mobility;
  • authorized accompanying persons;
  • any other announced category.

Valid proof may be required at the entrance.

In the absence of proof, the customer may be required to pay the difference to the full price. Otherwise, access may be refused without refund.

13.4 Children

The access rules applicable to children are indicated for each event or ticket category.

Even when entry is free, a ticket or reservation may be required for capacity and safety reasons.

Minors remain the responsibility of their legal representative or the adult accompanying them.

13.5 Persons with reduced mobility

Seats intended for persons with reduced mobility and their companions must be reserved in the category provided for this purpose.

Fribourg Olympic may request the information strictly necessary to organize reception and accessibility.

Free entry or the companion’s rate depends on the offer announced for the event concerned.

13.6 Lost, stolen, or damaged ticket

Lost, stolen, damaged, or already used tickets are in principle neither replaced nor refunded.

When the ticket is nominative and its purchase can be verified, Fribourg Olympic or the ticketing platform may, without being obliged to do so, offer a replacement solution.

14. Season Tickets

14.1 Scope of the season ticket

The season ticket gives access only to the competitions, matches, and services expressly indicated in the offer.

The scope of each package may vary notably according to:

  • the championship;
  • the playoffs;
  • European competitions;
  • friendly matches;
  • cup matches;
  • special events;
  • VIP or Hospitality services.

The benefits announced for a season ticket are personal and cannot be converted into cash.

14.2 Allocation of seats

When a seat is allocated, the season ticket holder must occupy the indicated seat.

Fribourg Olympic may exceptionally allocate another seat of a comparable category, notably for reasons related to:

  • sports;
  • technical issues;
  • operations;
  • security;
  • broadcasting;
  • organization;
  • requirements of a competition or the venue operator.

14.3 Matches not played or moved

The season ticket is linked to the sporting season and not to a guaranteed number of matches, unless otherwise stated.

The number of matches may vary notably depending on:

  • sporting results;
  • the competition format;
  • qualifiers;
  • decisions by federations;
  • sanctions;
  • calendar changes;
  • force majeure circumstances.

Unless otherwise decided by Fribourg Olympic or required by law, the absence of a match that was not guaranteed in the offer does not entitle the holder to a refund.

14.4 Use and transfer

Unless it is nominative or subject to specific restrictions, a season ticket may be lent occasionally to a third party.

The holder remains responsible for its use and the behavior of the person to whom they entrust it.

Commercial or repeated resale of the season ticket is prohibited without written authorization.

14.5 Loss of the season ticket

In case of loss or theft, the holder must contact Fribourg Olympic promptly.

Reasonable fees may be charged for the issuance of a duplicate.

The old season ticket may be deactivated.

15. Resale and commercial use of tickets

Unless authorized in writing by Fribourg Olympic, it is prohibited to:

  • resell tickets for commercial purposes;
  • resell a ticket at a price higher than its purchase price plus the costs actually incurred;
  • use tickets as part of a contest, lottery, or promotional operation;
  • associate a ticket with the sale of another product or service;
  • use an automated system to buy tickets;
  • buy tickets to circumvent imposed limits.

Fribourg Olympic may cancel the tickets concerned without refund and refuse access to their holder.

Customers are invited to acquire their tickets only from official channels.

Fribourg Olympic does not guarantee the validity of tickets purchased from unauthorized third parties.

16. Modification of a match or event

The dates, times, and locations of matches or events may be modified, notably due to:

  • sporting or federative decisions;
  • television broadcasting requirements;
  • constraints related to the venue;
  • security reasons;
  • weather conditions;
  • health circumstances;
  • a decision by an authority;
  • a case of force majeure;
  • any other important operational reason.

It is the customer’s responsibility to check updated information before going to the event.

As far as possible, Fribourg Olympic will inform buyers via its website, social networks, the ticketing platform, or the contact details provided during the order.

A reasonable modification of the schedule, location, opponent, program, participants, or ancillary services does not in principle entitle the holder to a refund when the main event is maintained.

17. Postponement of an event

In case of postponement, the ticket remains in principle valid for the new date.

When Fribourg Olympic decides to authorize a refund, the terms, deadlines, and any non-refundable fees are communicated to the customers concerned.

In the absence of an express announcement authorizing a refund, the customer’s personal inability to attend the new date does not automatically entitle them to a refund.

The customer’s personal expenses, notably transport, parking, accommodation, or catering costs, are not refunded.

18. Cancellation of an event

In case of definitive cancellation of an event, the customer may request a refund of the nominal price of the ticket, subject to:

  • the terms announced by Fribourg Olympic;
  • the conditions of the ticketing platform;
  • compliance with the indicated refund period;
  • the presentation of a valid and unused ticket.

Processing, delivery, payment, or platform fees may not be refunded when they correspond to services already performed or when the provider’s conditions so provide.

Unless otherwise required by law, the refund does not cover:

  • transport costs;
  • accommodation;
  • parking;
  • catering;
  • loss of income;
  • costs incurred with third parties;
  • indirect damages.

When the event includes several matches, activities, artists, speakers, or services, the cancellation or replacement of only part of the program does not necessarily constitute a cancellation of the event.

19. Interrupted or shortened match

When a match or event begins but must be interrupted, suspended, or shortened, the consequences depend notably on:

  • the competition rules;
  • the decision of the sporting authority;
  • the possibility of resuming or replaying the match;
  • the moment at which the interruption occurs;
  • the particular circumstances.

The ticket is not automatically refunded.

Fribourg Olympic will communicate any applicable measures, such as:

  • the validity of the ticket for a resumption;
  • the issuance of a credit note;
  • a total or partial refund;
  • the absence of compensation.

20. Access to the venue and security regulations

Access is subject to:

  • the presentation of a valid ticket;
  • opening hours;
  • security checks;
  • venue regulations;
  • staff instructions;
  • rules of authorities and sporting federations.

Fribourg Olympic may refuse access or remove any person who:

  • presents an invalid, falsified, or already used ticket;
  • refuses a security check;
  • adopts violent, threatening, or dangerous behavior;
  • makes racist, discriminatory, or hateful remarks;
  • is in a state of manifest intoxication;
  • introduces a prohibited object;
  • disrupts the progress of the event;
  • does not respect staff instructions;
  • violates venue regulations or applicable legislation.

In these situations, no refund is due.

21. Prohibited objects

It is notably prohibited to introduce into the venue, unless expressly authorized:

  • weapons or dangerous objects;
  • pyrotechnic products;
  • smoke bombs;
  • illegal substances;
  • glass bottles;
  • objects likely to be thrown;
  • professional photography or recording equipment;
  • drinks or food prohibited by venue regulations;
  • banners or materials with illicit, discriminatory, or unauthorized commercial content.

The list of prohibited objects may be adapted according to the event.

22. Late arrival and exit

Late arrival may result in delayed access or the temporary inability to occupy the reserved seat.

Exiting the venue may be final when the control system does not allow re-entry.

No refund is due because of a customer’s delay, arrival after the closure of access points, or a voluntary exit.

23. Photographs, videos, and broadcasts

Photographs, videos, or recordings may be made during matches and events for purposes including:

  • information;
  • communication;
  • promotion of the Club;
  • broadcasting;
  • archives;
  • media coverage.

The public may appear incidentally in general or atmospheric views.

Any individualized exploitation of a clearly identifiable person is subject to the applicable rules regarding image rights and data protection.

Customers who wish to report a particular situation can contact Fribourg Olympic.

Professional recordings, live broadcasts, or commercial exploitations made by spectators are prohibited without authorization.

24. VIP services, Hospitality, and private events

24.1 Reservation

A request for a box, VIP space, or private event only becomes binding after written confirmation from Fribourg Olympic.

An offer or quote may notably provide for:

  • the number of participants;
  • the included services;

  • the deposit;
  • payment deadlines;

  • catering services;
  • the customer’s specific obligations.

When the actual number of participants is less than the number reserved, the agreed amount remains due.

Unless specific conditions appear in the offer, the following cancellation fees may be applied to Hospitality services and private events:

  • from 30 to 15 days before the service: 50% of the agreed amount;
  • from 14 to 7 days before the service: 75% of the agreed amount;
  • less than 7 days before the service or no-show: 100% of the agreed amount.

Expenses already incurred specifically for the reservation may be billed in addition when they exceed these amounts.

The specific conditions appearing in the quote or reservation confirmation prevail.

24.4 Modification by the customer

Any request for modification is subject to the agreement of Fribourg Olympic.

A modification may result in an adjustment of the price, services, or cancellation conditions.

24.5 Catering and allergies

The customer must communicate allergies, intolerances, and important dietary requirements early enough.

Fribourg Olympic and its partners take reasonable measures to take into account the information communicated, but cannot guarantee the total absence of traces of allergens.

24.6 Damages

The customer is liable for damage caused to the premises, equipment, or facilities by themselves, their guests, employees, or service providers.

  • their personal belongings.

The customer must compensate Fribourg Olympic for damages directly caused by a culpable violation of their obligations.
