14. Use of Annual Pass
14.1 To use an Annual Pass, the Passholder must show the Pass at the admissions office, turnstile, or other authorised entry point of the Attraction. Entry to the Attraction by use of an Annual Pass will only be permitted if a valid Annual Pass can be presented alongside a valid pre-book ticket bookable in the Passholder Pre-book Portal found at merlinannualpass.co.uk/prebook. Failure to present a valid Annual Pass (due to it having been lost, stolen or forgotten) will result in a charge of the "on the day" admission rate applicable to the Attraction, which will be non-refundable. Re-entry to the Attraction on the same day requires a hand stamp which will be given to the Passholder by the Attraction on exit from the Attraction.
14.2 An Annual Pass will only be valid when it is used and/or presented by the named holder, on dates specified within the Pass terms, and with a valid pre booked visit ticket. The Attraction may refuse entry to any person attempting to use an Annual Pass which is not their own or who is in breach of the pass Terms & Conditions.
14.3 An Annual Pass will only be valid when it is used and/or presented by the named holder, it displays a clear photograph which must be a true likeness of the named holder, and it is within the Pass Term (as defined in Term 2). Photocopies of an Annual Pass will not be accepted at the Attraction and the Attraction may refuse entry to any person attempting to use an Annual Pass which is not an original. For the avoidance of doubt, pass sharing is a breach of these Terms and any attempted use of an Annual Pass by someone other than the photographed and named holder will result in access at the Attraction being refused and, where the Passholder was involved in the sharing of the Annual Pass or failed to keep the Annual Pass in a safe and secure location, this will result in the Annual Pass being revoked. For this reason, you should ensure that the Annual Pass is kept in a safe and secure location where others will not have access to it.
14.4 The Annual Pass remains the property of Merlin and can be withdrawn at any time. Passholders shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that an Annual Pass is always kept secure and any Annual Pass which has been lost, stolen and/or damaged should be reported immediately pursuant to Term 14.7
14.5 Annual Pass cannot be sold, loaned or given away to or used by a third party. An Annual Pass will automatically become void without a refund if sold, loaned or given away or if any attempt is made to sell, loan or give it away.
14.6 Access will be denied to the Attraction and the relevant Passholder's pass revoked, if (i) the Passholder is guilty of fraud or attempted fraud in respect of the Annual Pass, (ii) there is misuse of the Annual Pass in breach of these Terms (e.g. abuse of the Annual Pass benefits); and/or (iii) there is any inappropriate conduct at the Attraction that can have an adverse effect on Merlin or the Attraction if the Passholder's access to the Attraction is admitted. Inappropriate conduct means causing any security or safety concerns, displaying any sign or visible representation of any kind which is, or could reasonably be judged to be, threatening, abusive or insulting to any member of Merlin staff and/or other members of the public visiting the Attraction, or allowing or assisting a third party to attempt to do any of the foregoing or gain unauthorised or improper access to the Attraction with an Annual Pass of which they are not the valid holder.
15. An Annual Pass cannot be used in conjunction with any promotional offer, voucher or advance booking or with any discount or retail/restaurant incentive unless otherwise stated on the Attraction's website. The Passholder is only entitled to the discounts stated in these Terms or such other discounts as made available to Passholders at Merlin's discretion from time to time.
16. Merlin is entitled, in its absolute discretion, to offer from time-to-time promotional offers for purchasing the Annual Pass at the Attraction, online, or through third party channels.
17. On the presentation of an Annual Pass, Passholders may receive discounts and/or benefits from Merlin and/or third parties where available at the relevant time. Such third parties’ discounts and/or benefits are not guaranteed and subject to change.
18. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for any loss or damage that you suffer provided that such loss or damage is a consequence and foreseeable result of our act or breach of these Terms and provided that you use all reasonable endeavours to limit such loss and/or damage. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the ordering process. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.
Provision of Data and Merlin's Processing
19. To implement and manage these Terms and to enable Merlin to comply with its contractual and statutory obligations, Merlin will require to process certain Personal Data relating to each Passholder as set out in terms section “Use of Personal Information”. This is detailed in a separate Fair Processing Notice which will be provided to the Passholder under separate cover. For further details on how this may apply in practice, the Passholder may contact Merlin using privacy@merlinentertainments.biz.
20. Where an Annual Passholder has opted-in to receive information about Chessington World of Adventures Resort’s products and events, Chessington World of Adventures Resort will use the Annual Passholder’s details provided in accordance with Term 2 for marketing purposes for its products and events. If the Annual Passholder wishes to opt out of receiving such information, the Annual Passholder can do so at any time by contacting privacy@merlinentertainments.biz or by post at Merlin Entertainments Group, Privacy Department, 3 Market Close, Poole, Dorset BH15 Please note this can take up to 10 working days.
21. Chessington World of Adventures Resort may from time to time analyse purchase and spending data. This is confidential and will not be made available to external companies and will only be available to other members of the Merlin Entertainments Group of companies.

Carer Pass and Ride Access Pass
23. If a disabled person has purchased an Annual Pass and presents at the Attraction documentation demonstrating a disability (for example by producing a doctor's letter setting out the disability, proof of receipt of disability living allowance or a disabled parking badge), that disabled Passholder shall be entitled to a free Carer Pass ("Carer Pass") which enables them to bring their carer into the Attraction with them at no additional cost. A person's sensitive data shall be processed in accordance with Annex A.
24. A carer pass will be issued where evidence of the disability has been provided by the relevant Passholder at the Attraction ("Carer Pass"). Carer Passes are issued solely at Merlin's discretion and cannot be obtained online or over the phone. Carer Passes will be reviewed annually and a new Carer Pass must be obtained annually. The Carer Pass can be used by any family member, friend or carer of the disabled Passholder who is 14 years or over. Each time a disabled Passholder visits the Attraction with a carer, they shall also supply their Carer Pass in order for the carer to be granted entry. If a disabled Passholder has forgotten their Carer Pass and wishes to have a carer present during their visit to the Attraction Merlin may, at its sole discretion, issue the carer with a day ticket. The Carer Pass entitles the designated carer admission to the Attraction only and does not entitle the designated carer to any other benefit. Use by the Passholder and/or their carer of either the Annual Pass and/or the Carer Pass in breach of these Terms may result in both the Annual Pass and the Carer Pass being revoked in accordance with Term 6
25. Whilst a Carer Annual Pass entitles the holder to free admission to the Attraction for one carer, it does not automatically entitle the holder the right to receive a Ride Access Pass. We have partnered with Nimbus Disability to process our Ride Access Pass applications, who will individually assess your needs and determine if you are eligible. You will then be able to collect your Ride Access Pass – which will be valid for three years from the date of your first visit to Chessington World of Adventures Resort. Once guests have received their ride access pass, they must pre book (at zero cost) their ride access pass for every visit Chessington World of Adventures. Guests should check before they visit that there is ride access pass capacity Failure to pre book a ride access pass visit may result in not being able to use this service on the day of your visit.
