The Customer acknowledges having reviewed the nature, price, destination and booking terms of the available Services, and having sought and obtained the necessary and/or additional information, in particular the terms and conditions of sale for the rate booked, in order to make their booking in full knowledge of the facts.

III. Booking Process

 

The Customer may book a Service via the Website, by email exchange, by telephone, or directly at the Hotel.

The Customer acknowledges having reviewed the Hotel’s T&Cs, the specific terms of the booked rate, the cancellation process, as well as the nature, destination and booking terms of the Service.

The Customer states in this regard that they made their choice in full knowledge of the facts and intends to be solely responsible for the choice of Service booked, such that the Hotel’s liability cannot be sought in this regard.

The booking process below concerns bookings made via the Hotel’s Website; other booking methods follow a similar process, which may nonetheless present certain differences. In case of doubt, the Customer may contact the Hotel directly.

Booking on the Website is carried out in several stages:

 

  1. The Customer selects a Service on the Hotel’s Website. They then provide several required pieces of information marked with an asterisk (*) and listed in section II.4 of the data processing policy below.

Each Hotel has a free-text field allowing the Customer to indicate any special request (in particular: special occasions, parking requests, late arrivals, etc.);

 

  1. The Customer checks on the booking page that the various items in their basket are correct and, where applicable, corrects any errors;

 

  1. After selecting and entering the various items, the Customer confirms their choice by clicking the “BOOK AND PAY NOW” button;

The Customer is informed that only the “BOOK AND PAY NOW” button redirects to the payment platform. The “BOOK” or “ADD” buttons only allow the Customer to build their basket on the Website.

 

  1. The Customer is then redirected to the “Paybox” payment platform, where they select their preferred payment method. The Hotel accepts payment by Carte Bleue, Visa, Mastercard and American Express. After selecting the payment method, the Customer confirms their choice by clicking the “Make Payment” button;

 

  1. The Customer proceeds to pay for the selected service by entering their bank details and then clicking the “Confirm” button;

 

  1. Once the booking has been made and confirmed, the Customer receives a confirmation email at the email address they provided.

For all useful purposes, the Customer is advised, prior to any booking, to contact the Hotel in case of doubt regarding their booking or the booking process. The Hotel’s email and telephone contact details are shown on the Website.

  1. Should the Customer leave belongings in the room (luggage, personal effects, etc.) after the scheduled departure time, without having requested an adjustment to this time, the Hotel reserves the right to move them out of the room, to the luggage room or to reception, in order to ensure continued availability of the room. Belongings thus removed from the room will be returned to the Customer upon simple request.

 

  1. Customer Conduct

 

  1. Any behaviour contrary to public decency, public order, or in breach of these T&Cs will lead the Hotel to ask the Customer to leave the premises, without any compensation or refund if payment has already been made. The Customer must also settle the cost of the nights’ stay before leaving the Hotel.

  1. The Customer also undertakes to make responsible use of all equipment and items made available to them, both in common areas and in private areas. At the end of the stay, the Customer’s presumed liability may be engaged in the event of deterioration, loss, theft or destruction of any item located in the Hotel (rooms, common areas, lounges, etc.), and they will be required to compensate the Hotel for the resulting loss.

 

  1. In the event of an untimely fire alarm activation, the responsible Customer will have to cover the cost of any commercial discounts given to other Customers by way of compensation.

Minibar service and bar drink prices are available in the room or, failing that, on request from the Hotel.

 

  1. The Hotel offers free Wi-Fi access enabling Customers to connect to the internet. The Customer undertakes that the IT resources made available by the Hotel will in no way be used for the reproduction, performance, making available or communication to the public of works or material protected by copyright or performance rights, such as texts, images, photographs, musical works, audiovisual works, software and video games, without authorisation from the rights holders referred to in Books I and II of the French Intellectual Property Code, where such authorisation is required. Should the Customer fail to comply with the aforementioned obligations, they may be charged with the offence of infringement (Article L. 335-3 of the Intellectual Property Code).

In this regard, a pre-authorisation may be carried out by the Hotel prior to the stay for verification purposes.

 

  1. Cutting a stay short, in the case of a prepaid booking for a non-refundable and non-cancellable rate, does not give rise to any refund.

 

  1. In the event of a “no-show,” meaning a booking that has not been cancelled but for which the Customer has not checked in at the Hotel on the scheduled arrival date, and provided that the booking was guaranteed by credit card or prepaid, the Hotel will charge, as a cancellation fee, the amount of one night booked, or will not refund the amount paid as prepayment. If several nights were booked, the cancellation terms will apply in accordance with the terms and conditions of sale of the booked rate.

 

  1. By the Hotel

 

Should it prove impossible to make the booked room available to the Customer, or in the event of an exceptional circumstance or force majeure, the Hotel may offer the Customer an alternative accommodation solution or, failing that, a refund of the full amount paid to the Hotel for the stay. The alternative accommodation solution offered will be in a hotel of at least equivalent category, or, if of a lower category, a room of a higher standard than that originally booked, for services of a similar nature. In the event of relocation, the Customer may also request cancellation of their booking, which then gives rise to an immediate refund, without the Customer being able to claim any further compensation or indemnity.

 

  1. Prices

 

  1. Prices relating to the booking of Services are provided before and at the time of booking.

 

  1. Prices quoted are per room for the number of people and dates selected. Unless otherwise stated, ancillary Services (breakfast, parking, etc.) are not included in the price. Upon confirmation of the Customer’s booking, the total amount for the booking of Services will be indicated.

The tourist tax, and any other taxes specific to the municipalities indicated for each rate, is payable directly on site to the Hotel, except in the case of online prepayment, where this amount may be included.

The Customer undertakes to pay the various taxes, without any dispute, to the booked Hotel.

 

VII. Payment

 

  1. The Customer provides their payment details either to prepay the booking before the stay, or as a guarantee for the booking in the event of a “no-show.” In any event, the Customer must present, upon first request, the credit card used to guarantee the booking or make the prepayment, in order to verify the Customer’s identity.

  1. Payment by bank transfer may also be requested for lower amounts or at the Customer’s express request.

 

  1. In the case of payment on site, the Hotel may accept different payment methods, but the Customer must present the bank card used to guarantee the booking or make the prepayment for identification purposes. The Hotel may also ask the Customer to present a form of identification.

Depending on the Hotel, the Customer may be asked to pay for the stay and the additional services booked upon arrival at the Hotel.

 

VIII. Insurance and Liability

 

  1. The Customer is liable for all losses, including bodily, material and immaterial damage, for which they may be responsible under this contract, and in particular for damage and risks connected with the exercise of their profession or activity, and more generally, all damage caused to the Hotel, the Hotel’s furnishings, the Hotel’s service providers and their equipment, or to the Hotel’s customers or outside parties, arising from their actions. In this context, the Customer acts as guarantor for the Hotel and undertakes to stand in for it in respect of any claim made by a Hotel customer, or a third party, relating to performance of the contract. In all cases, the Customer hereby guarantees the Hotel against any liability action relating to the stay and to the exercise of their activity or profession, and will join in any legal proceedings that may be brought on these grounds by any party involved against the Hotel.

They undertake to maintain sufficient liability coverage for the entire duration of the hotel services that are the subject of the stay. The Customer is in particular invited to take out specific insurance in the event of the presence of large equipment or valuable goods, insofar as the Hotel’s liability cannot be engaged in the event of damage to or theft of such goods. The Customer is liable for all damage caused by themselves or their guests and undertakes, in the event of damage to the premises made available, to bear the costs of restoring these premises. Under no circumstances may the Hotel be held liable for damage of any kind, in particular fire or theft, likely to affect items or equipment left by the Customer during the stay.

 

  1. Any parcels, packages or other items delivered to the Hotel before and during the stay may be received by the Hotel. However, under no circumstances may the Hotel be held liable for any incident, deterioration, incorrect number of parcels, damaged parcel, or any delivery problem.

  1. In any event, the Customer must bear all financial consequences of the damage they cause.

 

  1. The Hotel disclaims all liability in the event of theft, loss or deterioration of belongings of customers during their stay resulting from their own actions (negligence, failure to comply with the Hotel’s safety instructions, failure to deposit valuables in the safe provided in the room, etc.).

  1. Customers are strictly prohibited from bringing into the Hotel personal belongings that are dangerous or incompatible with the nature and tranquillity of the stay. To this end, it is strictly prohibited to use personal electrical or gas appliances or equipment without the Hotel’s express authorisation. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, portable stoves, barbecues, deep fryers, ovens and coffee makers. Furthermore, the use of candles is strictly prohibited in guest rooms and in the Hotel’s common areas.

 

  1. The Customer is required to ensure the security of their personal belongings, and not to leave them unattended within the Hotel outside their room. Furthermore, they must ensure that the room is properly closed and locked.

 

  1. Some Hotels may offer private car parks and/or garages to Customers. These are neither monitored, guarded, nor secured. The Hotel disclaims all liability in the event of loss/theft/damage to the vehicle and/or its contents, including accessories (ski racks, bike racks, bicycles, etc.), within the car park and/or garage, in particular if the Customer has left personal belongings and/or valuables in and/or on their vehicle, or has failed to lock it or close its windows.

  1. The Customer is liable for any damage, deterioration or act of vandalism that may occur as a result of occupation of the premises, whether to movable property or to the building, whether or not belonging to the Hotel, as well as any damage caused to the equipment of outside service providers, and also any damage caused to other Hotel customers. Accordingly, the Hotel is entitled to require the Customer to repair the damage caused by their actions and to leave the establishment under the same conditions as those set out in IV.B.1 of these T&Cs.

 

  1. The Hotel may, depending on the case, offer a laundry service to the Customer. A handover form is made available to the Customer in the room or directly at the Hotel’s reception. This form specifies the price of the service, the terms of performance of the service, the quality of the services offered, as well as the compensation terms in the event of loss or deterioration of items, by way of fixed and final compensation.

 

  1. The Hotel specifies that the laundry service is carried out by an outside service provider to whom the laundry is entrusted. It is noted that this service provider may, at its discretion, refuse an item or express reservations regarding the cleaning of that item. The Hotel disclaims all liability in the event of colour alteration, deterioration, discolouration, or shrinkage of an item. The Hotel is not liable for items deposited and not claimed after one month, nor for items lost by the service provider. It is noted by the Hotel that the service provider does not guarantee items containing heat-sealed materials or buttons and trimmings that may react to the products used.

Terms of access to these areas are specifically defined by the Hotels concerned and must be checked by the Customer prior to use (permitted age, permitted number of guests, permitted duration, etc.). The Hotel’s liability cannot be engaged following an accident relating to the Customer’s state of health: indeed, it is the Customer’s responsibility to consult their doctor beforehand and ensure that their state of health presents no contraindication with respect to the services offered by the spa/treatment areas/sanarium. The Hotel reserves the right to exclude from these areas any persons not respecting the tranquillity of the premises.

 

  1. Insofar as certain Hotels provide fitness rooms, the Hotel’s liability cannot be engaged following an accident relating to the Customer’s state of health. Indeed, it is the Customer’s responsibility to consult their doctor beforehand and ensure that their state of health presents no contraindication to the practice of the sports and activities offered and/or possible.

 

  1. Force Majeure – Pandemic

 

The obligations contained herein will not be applicable, or will be suspended, if their performance has become impossible due to a force majeure event. The parties agree that, for the purposes hereof, force majeure means an event beyond the debtor’s control (for example war, a pandemic accompanied by travel restriction or lockdown measures, a natural disaster, etc.) that could not reasonably have been foreseen when the contract/quote was concluded, and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, preventing performance of the obligation by the debtor. The Parties must use their best efforts to prevent or reduce the effects of a failure to perform the contract/quote caused by a force majeure event; the Party wishing to invoke a force majeure event must immediately notify the other Party of the beginning and end of that event, failing which it cannot be relieved of its liability.

 

In such a case, the deposit will be retained and may be reused for a future stay within 12 months of the originally scheduled arrival date.

 

  1. Telephone Commercial Prospecting

 

A Customer who does not wish to be the subject of telephone commercial prospecting may register free of charge on a list opposing telephone canvassing.

E.g.: https://www.bloctel.gouv.fr

 

  1. Complaints and Disputes

 

  1. In the event of a dispute, complaint or disagreement regarding any part of the invoice, the Customer undertakes to pay the undisputed portion without delay and to notify the Hotel concerned in writing of the reason for and amount of the dispute, within seven (7) days from the end of the stay. Once this period has elapsed, the service and invoicing will be deemed accepted and may not give rise to any subsequent claim by the Customer.

 

After contacting Customer Service or the Hotel, and failing a satisfactory response or any response within 60 days, the Customer may refer the matter to the Tourism and Travel Ombudsman, whose contact details are given below:
