I/ STAY PRICE
No dispute concerning the price of the stay can be taken into account after the signing of the contract. It is up to the tenant to assess, before signing, whether the price suits him. The tourist tax is not included in the price.
II/ RESERVATION, CONTRACT AND DEPOSIT
After receiving your reservation, we will send you a written confirmation and a contract by email. The amount of the reservation, the deposit, the options, any taxes and the security deposit are indicated on your contract. We invite you to return to us, within a maximum period of one week, the signed contract as well as the reservation deposit of an amount equal to 25% of the stay. Once the contract has been signed and the deposit received, the reservation becomes firm. By signing the contract and paying the deposit, you confirm your full agreement with the General Terms and Conditions of Sale specified below. Please note that without the payment of the deposit within the time limit, the reservation is not confirmed and that, consequently, we reserve the right to dispose of the accommodation. If the amount of the deposit is paid when booking, the balance of the rental, taxes and the security deposit are payable 15 days at the latest before the start of the stay by bank transfer. We do not accept holiday vouchers.
III/ DURATION OF STAY:
The tenant rents our accommodation for a fixed period, listed on the contract, and may not under any circumstances claim any right to remain in the premises.

IV / CANCELLATION
The tenant can cancel his rental at any time. However, the deposit remains acquired as cancellation fees and is not refundable. These cancellation costs may be covered by cancellation insurance to be taken out individually by the tenant. Whatever the reasons for the cancellation, the tenant must notify the owner by letter or email. If a case of force majeure made it impossible to make the accommodation available (unscheduled urgent work, water damage or miscellaneous damage, climatic hazards, etc.), all of the sums paid would be refunded to the tenant without him may claim subsequent reimbursements. In the event of cancellation, except in cases of force majeure, and on the initiative of the owner, the latter reimburses 100% of the sums collected. Any interrupted or shortened stay, or any unused service, does not give rise to any refund. Even in the event of repatriation, it is the renter's responsibility to take out appropriate insurance.
