The admission acquired allows access only in the area for which a ticket was purchased and does not grant free-of-charge rights of access to other areas or to additional services or programs (such as towel, bathing suit, food, drink, etc., which will be acquired separately).

The provisions of this paragraph apply to all property deposited in the locker and the valuables safe.
