These GSCs apply to all uses of the site, notably, to the commercialisation, by Internet and by telephone, of all of the services offered on the Site by LES HOTELS BAVAREZ.
It is therefore critical that the Client read attentively the GSCs that are referenced by hypertext link on each page of the site. In particular, the Client is advised to download and/or print these on the day of his/her order, so as to keep a copy of these, as they are subject to modification.

The GSCs can be supplemented by specific sales conditions contained in the description of the service, as well as by the general conditions of the providers, which can be accessed either on their Internet Site, or on the premises.
2. CAPACITY
The Client acknowledges that s/he has the capacity to enter into a contract, i.e. that it is an adult as defined by law and is not under guardianship or trusteeship.
The Client also declares that it will use the Site in accordance with these GSCs, in its name and on behalf of all of the beneficiaries of the services ordered by it on the Site, of which it acknowledges that it is the representative (hereinafter: the “Beneficiaries”) and on which these GSCs are binding.
The Client is financially responsible for the use of the Site in both his/her own name and on behalf of the Beneficiaries, unless s/he demonstrates fraudulent use that does not result from any fault or negligence by her/him.
The Client warrants the veracity and the accuracy of the information provided by him/her in its name and on behalf of all of the Beneficiaries using its data on the Site.
The Company reserves the right at any time not to enter into a contract with a Client who engages in fraudulent use of the Site or that violates these GSCs.
The terms of Article 313-1 of the French Criminal Code [Code Pénal] are hereby recalled in this connection:
"Fraud is characterised either by the use of a false name or a false status, or by the misuse of a genuine status, or by the use of fraudulent ploys to deceive a natural person or legal entity and to define it as such, to its prejudice or to the prejudice of a third-party, to submit funds, securities, or any asset, to supply a service, or to grant an act entailing an obligation or a release. Fraud is punished by five years of imprisonment and a fine of € 375,000.”
