Entering into Agreements
- You must be at least 18 years old to purchase Knuthenborg Safaripark's services online.
- You can place orders online 24 hours a day.
- When you place an order, we will send you an order confirmation via email. Note that we are not bound by the order until this point. You will receive an email with a code that deducts the paid ticket price if a season pass is purchased within 24 hours of receiving it.
- You are responsible for ensuring that the customer information you provide during a purchase is correct, as we do not subsequently validate or verify this information.
Payment and Security
- The applicable price is the one stated in the order summary at the time of ordering, before you accept. All stated prices include VAT. Access to the zoological attraction (the English Garden) is VAT-exempt. Access to VAT-applicable attractions and services can always be deselected when purchasing tickets to the English Garden on our website.
- We accept the following payment methods: Dankort, Visa, MasterCard, JCB Card, and MobilePay.
- The amount will only be charged to your card when the purchase is completed. No amount greater than what you have approved at the time of purchase can be charged.
- Credit card transactions are processed on a separate, secure server with full encryption of all credit card information. We use Quickpay Manager, a solution that meets all PBS requirements for secure payment solutions.
Delivery
- All online tickets will be delivered to the provided email address shortly after we have received your order—usually within 10 minutes. If this does not occur, please check your spam filter before contacting us. Knuthenborg Safaripark is not responsible for delays in delivery due to technical issues, your spam filter, or incorrect email addresses.
- If you choose to purchase a physical annual pass, season pass, or family pass, it will be delivered by mail within approximately 14 business days. Knuthenborg Safaripark is not responsible for any delays caused by third parties.
Right of Withdrawal
- You generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal when entering into agreements online. However, most of Knuthenborg Safaripark's services that can be purchased online are exempt from the right of withdrawal, in accordance with, among others, section 18, subsection 2, no. 1 and 12 of the Danish Consumer Contracts Act.
- Therefore, you only have a right of withdrawal when purchasing the following from our website: annual, season, and family passes.
- If you have a right of withdrawal, you are entitled to withdraw from the agreement without giving any reason within 14 days from the receipt of the order confirmation. However, you will lose your right of withdrawal if we have already delivered the service you ordered, e.g., if you have started using your annual, season, or family pass.
Note: If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal on an annual, season, or family pass, you must notify us within 14 days of the order. If you opted for a physical plastic card, you must promptly return it to us after delivery if you have exercised your right of withdrawal. We do not refund delivery costs or the costs incurred for the creation of your card. If you begin using your annual, season, or family pass within 14 days of purchase, you must consent to waive your right of withdrawal.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from the agreement with a clear statement (e.g., by post or email). You can email us at knuthenborg@knuthenborg.dk. You may choose to use the standard withdrawal form at the end of this document, though it is not mandatory.
The withdrawal deadline is met if you send your notification of exercising the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.
If you exercise your right of withdrawal, we will refund all payments received from you, excluding delivery costs and the costs associated with issuing your annual, season, or family pass, without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the date we received notice of your decision to withdraw or from the date we received your annual, season, or family pass. We will refund you using the same payment method used for the original transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any case, you will not incur any fees due to the refund.
We may withhold the refund until we have received the returned cards.
