RULES, Rates, Cancellations & refunds

****Duration of stay****

The rental agreement is concluded for a fixed term.

The tenant undertakes to arrive on the date and time stated on the contract.

The tenant undertakes to vacate the premises on the departure date and time stated on the contract. Under no circumstances may they claim any right to remain on the premises at the end of the stay. If the schedule is not respected, the owners will deduct from the security deposit an amount equivalent to the value of a ½ day of rental

****Contractual commitment****

The reservation becomes final as soon as the tenant has sent the owners, on the dates indicated, a signed copy of the contract and the balance due. A second copy is to be kept by the tenant.

The rental agreement concluded between the parties to the contract may in no circumstances benefit, even partially, third parties, natural or legal persons, except with the owners' written consent. Any breach of this last paragraph may result in the immediate termination of the rental at the tenant's fault, the rental proceeds remaining permanently acquired by the owner.

****Cancellation****

Cancellation by email will be valid only after acknowledgment of receipt of the email and confirmation by email from the owners.

Cancellation before arrival on the premises: deposits are non-refundable.

The balance remains due to the owners if cancellation occurs less than 5 weeks before the scheduled arrival date.

If the tenant does not make contact within 24 hours of the arrival date stated on the contract or has failed to inform the owners of a change of arrival date, the contract will become null and the owners may make use of their gîtes. Amounts paid remain acquired by the owners; no refund will be made.
If the stay is shortened, amounts paid remain acquired by the owners. No refund will be made.

Cancellation by the owners: the owners undertake to refund the tenant all sums received.

****Payment of the balance due and resolutory clause****

The balance due must be paid no later than 60 days before the scheduled start date of the stay. It is expressly agreed that failing payment of the balance due on the date mentioned in the contract, this rental will be terminated automatically and the owners may make use of their gîtes. Amounts already paid will not be refunded.

****Inventory report****

The inventory report and the entry inventory of the gîtes must be checked by the tenant on arrival. No subsequent complaints will be accepted. Cleaning of the premises during the stay is the tenant's responsibility.

****Security deposit or bond****

A security deposit is specified in the contract and must be handed to the owners by cheque no later than
60 days before the scheduled start date of the stay. The cheque will be returned or torn up with photographic evidence according to the tenant's wishes, 10 days after the end of the stay.

The cheque will only be cashed in the event of damage noted during the exit inventory by the owners and the cost of repairs will be deducted. If the amount of such damage exceeds the amount of the deposit, an invoice will then be issued to the tenant by a bailiff’s report and/or confirmed specialists. The tenant will then be liable for the invoice amount.

If the damage occurs during the stay and the repair cost is less than the deposit amount, it must be paid on the spot.

****Use of the premises****

The tenant must respect the tranquillity and peaceful use of the premises, without causing abnormal disturbances to the neighbourhood. «Big parties» are not accepted.

The tenant must act so as to preserve the integrity of the rented accommodation in all circumstances.

The use of the premises and associated services is exclusively reserved for the persons named in the contract.

The tenant must refrain from throwing into sinks, washbasins, bathtubs or toilets any object likely to block the pipes, failing which they will be liable for the costs incurred to restore these fittings.

As the holiday cottages are not connected to the mains sewer, bleach must not be used for cleaning; only white vinegar and/or disinfectant products compatible with septic tanks may be used.

We practice selective waste sorting and composting.

****Tobacco****

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the cottages.

****Capacity of the premises****

The rental agreement is made for a maximum capacity of 28 people (adults, children and babies included). If the number of tenants exceeds the accommodation capacity, the owners will refuse the additional persons. The owners may also cancel the contract and the sums paid will be retained.

****Animals****

Animals are not accepted. If the tenant brings an animal, they must either place it in a kennel.

The owners are entitled to terminate the contract in the event of non-compliance with this clause.

****Swimming pool, access to the Vézère, games****

The swimming pool is accessible from the 1^er weekend in May until the last weekend in September, subject to weather conditions.

Children are under the exclusive responsibility of their parents. The owners cannot under any circumstances be held liable for any accident, including for adults.

****Speed limit****

Due to the proximity of the houses, it is mandatory to drive at walking pace on the access road to the gîtes and the car park.

Children are under the exclusive responsibility of their parents.

****Provision and equipment, goods and services****

The owners cannot be held liable in the event of equipment failure, interruption of public services (electricity, water), or adverse weather.

****Insurance****

The tenant is responsible for all damage caused by them. They must hold a certificate of insurance including holiday/vacation cover. The owners are entitled to request a copy of this insurance.

The owners cannot be held liable for any injury, loss or damage caused to persons and/or personal property. Use of the accommodation, parking, swimming pool and other facilities is entirely at your own risk.

****Domicile for legal notices****

For the performance of the obligations referred to in the rental agreement, the parties agree that the competent court is that of the district in which the rented premises are located.
