Terms of sales

TERMS OF SALES

1. APPLICATION

These general sales conditions (hereinafter: “GSCs”) apply to the sales made by the Hotel (hereinafter: “the Company”) with the Client.

They cancel and replace any prior version that has been placed online and/or accepted by the Client.

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. However, it is hereby stipulated that such modifications shall be inapplicable to the orders of Services placed previously.

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.”

 

3. RIGHT TO CANCEL

Pursuant to the provisions of Article L 121-21-8 of the French Consumption Code [Code de laConsommation], the services offered on the Site by the Company are not subject to the application of the right to cancel mentioned in Articles L. 121-21 et seq. of the Consumption Code concerning sales at a distance.

Consequently, the services ordered on the Site are exclusively subject to the cancellation and modification conditions contained in these GSCs and the Client cannot invoke the right to cancel.

 

4. PRICES

The prices are indicated in euros. VAT is included in the prices indicated. Any change of the applicable rate, or any modification or introduction of new official taxes established by the competent authorities, shall be automatically passed onto the prices indicated on the invoice date.

The prices are understood to cover one room for the number of persons indicated and in accordance with the period selected.

The prices indicated only include the services specifically mentioned in the reservation. The price mentioned in the reservation shall be increased by the price of the additional services supplied by the hotel at the time of the stay, and, if applicable, the visitors’ tax.

The prices mentioned on the Site are subject to modification at any time by the Hotel without prior information or notice. Only the price indicated in the reservation confirmation by the Company is contractual.

The Company shall send the Client, by any means (e-mail, regular postal mail, fax, etc.) confirmation of the recorded order.

The reservation is only firm and final after the Client has received the confirmation sent by the Company.

The rates, terms and conditions of reservations are intended for the sale of hotel rooms in accordance with their primary purpose: accommodation. The hotel reserves the right to modify or cancel the reservation (s), as well as the rates and conditions if the rooms are used for other purposes such as parties, dinners, meetings, photo or video shootings, film or interview shoots, written or filmed interviews, shootings for social networks, showrooms etc… (non-exhaustive list) without prior written authorization from the hotel general manager. The number of guests in the rooms may not exceed the number of people reserved and may not exceed the maximum capacity of the rooms declared to the Paris Police Prefecture (declaration available from the hotel management).

 

6. ONLINE PAYMENT CONDITIONS 

According to the type of reservation made, the price is due in full at the time of the placing of the order (advance purchase style plan) or at the end of the Client’s stay at the Hotel (flexible plan).

Regardless of the circumstances and in order to guarantee his/her reservation, the Client is asked to communicate his/her credit card number, which shall be transmitted by secure means.

If payment is made at the time the order is placed, the credit card information transmitted by the Client to the Company via a secure system shall enable the latter to debit the card for the total amount of the stay, in all cases by secure means. The Client’s credit card is debited on the day of the order; the invoice is transmitted by the Company to the Client on the day the Client leaves the Hotel.

Please be advised that the credit card used to make the reservation must be presented at check-in, as well as valid identification. The cardholder’s name must match the guest’s name. If the same credit card cannot be presented, the guest will need to present a new credit card for full payment to be taken. 

Third-Party Credit Card: if a non-guest wishes to pay for a guest in the hotel, the hotel will require specific documents prior to the guest’s arrival in order to prevent bank card fraud. 

Please note that the hotel may proceed to a pre-authorization on your credit card to ensure sufficient funds are available to cover the charges for your stay at any time prior to arrival.
