General rental terms and conditions

Article 1 - length of stay:

The tenant signing a fixed-term contract may not, under any circumstances, claim any right to remain in the premises.

Article 2 - contract conclusion:

The reservation becomes effective once the tenant guarantees it with a valid credit card on the start date of the stay, or by bank transfer.

Article 3 - cancellation by the tenant

Cancellation conditions vary depending on the reseller through which the tenant booked. Those conditions apply and should be referred to in case of cancellation.

The following conditions apply only when the tenant books directly (phone, argile.eu website):

In case of cancellation or modification up to 30 days before the arrival date, no fee will be charged.

In case of cancellation or modification less than 30 days before the arrival date, 30% of the rental amount will be charged.

In case of cancellation or modification less than 72 hours before the arrival date, 100% of the rental amount will be charged.

In case of cancellation or late modification, no-show, or a booking marked "non-refundable", the owner requires 100% of the stay amount.

In case of a shortened stay, the price agreed at the time of booking remains due to the owner.

Article 4 - arrival:

The tenant is welcomed on the specified day from 3:00 PM or earlier depending on availability. In case of late arrival, the tenant must inform the owner or their representative.

Article 5 - payment & rates:

The rate includes the rental of the cottage for the entire stay, as well as the provision of household linen. This includes bed linen, one bath sheet and one towel per person. Dish towels and a bath mat are also provided.

Payment to the owner by: cash, card, VISA, holiday vouchers, or bank transfer (bank or postal cheques are not accepted).

A €500 security deposit is requested upon arrival, taken by credit card imprint (Provision for Lessor of Goods and Services), and refunded no later than one week after departure.

Article 6 - tourist tax:

The tourist tax is a local tax that the tenant must pay to the owner, who then remits it to the Public Treasury. This amount may be charged to the credit card if the tenant has not paid by another method.

Article 7 - use of the premises:

The tenant must respect the peaceful nature of the premises and use them according to their purpose. The tenant agrees to return the accommodations in good condition. Smoking is strictly prohibited. If a cigarette odor remains after departure, a €100 (ONE HUNDRED EUROS) fee will be deducted from the deposit.

In case of damage, the cost of repairs will be deducted from the deposit.

Article 8 - pets:

The contract states that the tenant may not stay with a domestic animal. In case of non-compliance, the owner may refuse the animals. This refusal cannot be considered a modification or termination of the contract at the owner's initiative, so if the tenant leaves, the price corresponding to the accommodation remains due to the owner. If the tenant must be accompanied by an animal, such as an assistance dog for people with disabilities, it is sufficient to inform the owner in advance so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Article 9 - capacity:

The contract is established for a specific number of people. If the number exceeds this limit, the owner may refuse additional persons. This refusal cannot be considered a modification or termination of the contract at the owner's initiative, so in case of departure of a number of persons greater than those refused, the price corresponding to the accommodation remains due to the owner.

Article 10 - insurance:

The tenant is responsible for all damages caused by them. They must therefore check whether their primary residence insurance includes a holiday rental extension. The tenant certifies that they are covered by civil liability insurance covering their own liability and that of accompanying persons.

Article 11 - disputes:

It is recommended to contact the Tourist Office, which will help settle disputes amicably: if the claim is made within the first three days after arrival for disputes concerning the inventory or description, and at the end of the stay for all other disputes. For any disputes arising from the execution or interruption of this contract, only the courts in the jurisdiction of the property location are competent.
