On the Customer's initiative :<\/span><\/h3>

The Customer is reminded, in accordance with Article L. 221-28, 12\u00b0 of the French Consumer Code, that they do not have the right of withdrawal provided for in Article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code.<\/span>

<\/span>Any interruption of stay, in the case of a prepaid booking with a non-refundable and non-cancellable rate, will not result in any reimbursement.<\/span>
<\/span>Where permitted by the conditions of sale of the reserved fare:<\/span>
<\/span>\u2022 Cancellations of bookings made via the Website can be made directly on the Website through the \u00abBooking\u00bb section, or with the selected Establishment. Bookings made via the Website for one of the Establishments can only be cancelled directly with that Establishment.<\/span>
<\/span>\u2022 Booking modifications can be made directly with the selected Company Establishment, the telephone number for which is provided in the confirmation email received by the Client.<\/span>
<\/span>- In the event of a no-show, i.e. in the event of a reservation that has not been cancelled but for which the Customer has not shown up at the Company's Establishment on the reserved day, and insofar as the reservation has been guaranteed by credit card or prepaid, the reserved Establishment will debit, by way of compensation, the sum of one night reserved, or will not reimburse the sum paid by way of prepayment in accordance with article 1590 of the Civil Code. If more than one night is booked, the cancellation conditions will apply in accordance with the Conditions of Sale for the rate booked.<\/span><\/p>

In the event of cancellation within the period and under the conditions specified on the booking summary and in the Fare Sales Conditions, the price of the Service may be refunded in full to the Customer.<\/span>
<\/span>If a Service is interrupted by the Customer during the Service, no reimbursement or compensation will be made for the part of the Service not carried out due to the interruption requested by the Customer.<\/span><\/p>

At the initiative of one of the establishments :<\/span><\/h3>

In the event of an exceptional event or the impossibility of making the type of room reserved available to the Customer, or in the event of force majeure, the Company's Establishment reserved may offer the Customer an accommodation solution in an Establishment of at least an equivalent category or, if it is of a lower category, a room of a higher standard than that originally reserved, for services of the same nature. If the Customer does not accept the proposed alternative solution, he\/she is free to request cancellation of the Service booked, in return for reimbursement of all sums paid by the Customer for the booking of the cancelled Service.<\/span><\/p>

VII. COMMITMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CUSTOMER<\/span><\/h2>

Any person staying at the Establishment must be able to present valid identification upon check-in. Failure to do so may result in the Company's Establishment refusing to rent a room to them and\/or cancelling their reservation without the possibility, where applicable, of a refund.<\/span>
<\/span>Foreign customers, including accompanying adults and teenagers aged over 15, will be required to complete an \u00abindividual police form\u00bb. Children under the age of 15 may appear on the card of an accompanying adult. The information contained in these forms is governed by articles R.814-1 to R.814-3 of the Code de l'entr\u00e9e et du s\u00e9jour des \u00e9trangers et du droit d'asile.<\/span>
<\/span>The customer may not bring third parties into the room without the express authorisation of the Company's Establishment, which reserves the right to carry out all necessary checks and to charge any supplements.<\/span>
<\/span>We welcome dogs provided that they are kept on a lead in all common areas of the establishment, it being specified that the Company's Establishment may refuse to accept any pet or other animal likely to present a safety risk for other occupants, the assessment of this risk being left to the discretion of the Company's Establishments. For reasons of hygiene, animals are not allowed in the restaurant areas or near the swimming pools, fitness areas, spa and wellness areas (these provisions do not apply to guide or assistance dogs). To ensure everyone's peace and quiet, pets must not be left unattended. You may be charged an additional fee per animal. Please refer to the specific conditions of each establishment on the Site for details of acceptance.<\/span>
<\/span>The Company's Establishments reserve the right not to accept or to expel, without refund, Customers whose dress is indecent or negligent, whose dress is intended to conceal the face (Law N\u00b02010-1192 of 11 October 2010), Customers whose behaviour is noisy, improper or alcoholic, Customers whose behaviour is contrary to hygiene, good morals or public order. Correct dress is required in the restaurants and in the public areas of each Establishment.<\/span>
<\/span>The Customer shall be courteous and respectful towards the staff of each Establishment. Customers must refrain from any verbal or physical violence, any racist behaviour or remarks or any form of harassment, failing which they will be excluded without refund.<\/span>
<\/span>The Customer agrees not to use the IT resources made available to him\/her within the Establishments (in particular the Wifi Internet network) for the purpose of infringing the applicable regulations.<\/span>
<\/span>To respect the privacy and image rights of other customers of a Company Establishment, the Customer is prohibited from taking photographs of them within the premises of the Establishment or its outbuildings and\/or publishing photographs taken under such conditions.<\/span>
<\/span>The Client agrees to use the room and common areas provided in a reasonable manner. Any damage caused by the Client or by persons in their charge, whether in the room or in the various areas occupied by them during their stay, must be reported to the Establishment's reception and may be directly invoiced to the Client for the cost of repair.<\/span>
<\/span>For safety reasons and out of respect for everyone, it is strictly forbidden to smoke inside the establishment. In accordance with the provisions of the French Public Health Code setting out the conditions for the application of the ban on smoking in places designated for collective use, smoking in the Establishment exposes the customer to the fine provided for third-class offences or to legal proceedings.<\/span>
<\/span>Customers could face a penalty of up to \u20ac2,000 if they fail to comply with the no-smoking sign in their room.<\/span>
<\/span>Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Customer must leave the room before 11.00 a.m. on the day the reservation ends. Failure to do so will result in an additional night being charged.<\/span>
<\/span>Any reservation or payment that is irregular, inoperative, incomplete or fraudulent for a reason attributable to the Customer will result in the cancellation of the order at the Customer's expense, without prejudice to any civil or criminal action against one of the Company's Establishments.<\/span><\/p>
