Catalan term or phrase: Adquirent com a significat de Comprador
This is the header to an incomplete document. It's baffling me. Adquirent is in black, and the other part is in red. It's the conditions for the purchase of a ski pass, and they only sent me two missing paragraphs, which explain how you can cancel the pass.

Isn't purchaser a synonym for buyer?

Another more natural sounding option:

People holding passes which they have purchased.

Explanation:
Given the context you've mentioned, that it's the conditions, this would be my guess.

Yes, it does seem to imply that someone other than the buyer could be the owner of the pass (could be a child, or group who have had their passes bought, or part of a pack hotel/pass, etc).
I understand that they are saying whoever that is, is considered the buyer. So even if they didn't actually purchase it, they are considered "buyer".
Maybe you should request a little more context of this sentence to be sure.

Asker: The conclusion I came to was that there must be another section which refers to people who receive the ticket, but who are not the buyer.
