The Client declares that it is responsible for the use of the reservation feature of the Website of the Hotel, on its own behalf and on behalf of third parties, in particular minors. In that respect, the Client guarantees the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided, both by itself and by the minors in its care at the time of booking. Fraudulent use of the reservation services of the Hotel or use that goes against the Standard Terms and Conditions may result in denial of the services offered and may give rise to legal proceedings before the competent courts.

6. EVIDENCE OF TRANSACTION

It is expressly agreed that, unless otherwise proven, the data stored in the Service Provider’s information system, on computer or electronic media, shall have evidential weight concerning the reservations made by the Client. As a result, such data may be produced as evidence in any litigation or other proceedings, and shall be admissible, valid and enforceable between the Parties in the same way, under the same conditions and with the same evidential weight as any document that would have been made out, received or kept in writing.

7. PRICE

The prices for the reservation are indicated before and at the time of booking. The amount to be paid by the Client includes the price of the stay (unit price of the room selected by the Client multiplied by the number of nights) plus the options chosen at the time of booking (unit price multiplied by the quantity ordered), if applicable. Unless otherwise stated on the Website, options (breakfast) that are not offered at the time of booking are not included in the price

Prices are quoted inclusive of taxes (including VAT), in euros, and are only valid for the date or period indicated on the Website. The tourist tax indicated for each rate is to be paid directly at the Hotel unless otherwise specified at the time of reservation. Any change or introduction of new governmental or local taxes levied by competent authorities shall automatically be applied to the prices indicated on the date of invoicing. For reservations made online on the Website of the Hotel, the Client may choose between several rates depending on the period:

– a preferential rate for a non-modifiable and non-refundable reservation, prepaid at the time of reservation.

– a flexible rate for a modifiable and refundable reservation, where the conditions for modification and refund are specified.

The Service Provider reserves the right to change at any time and without prior notice the prices stated in brochures and other commercial material, as well as the prices displayed in the establishments. Such changes shall not apply to reservations previously accepted by the Service Provider.

Every reservation must be nominative, individual, and non-transferable. Therefore, the Client cannot substitute any person, under any circumstances, for any reason.

The Client on whose behalf the reservation is made must, upon arrival at the hotel, present a photo identification (either the ID card, passport, or residence permit)

8. TERMS OF PAYMENT

During the reservation, the Client must provide the authentication details of their credit card to validate the booking. In case of non-compliance, the reservation will not be considered. The hotel will request a photo identification upon arrival for the purpose of credit card fraud prevention

For the preferential rate with prepayment: this rate is non-modifiable, non-refundable, and non-cancellable - the total price of the reservation is charged at the time of booking, for the entire stay amount, on the credit card provided by the Client. The Client expressly acknowledges that this is a prepayment, and their card will be charged through the 3DSECURE authentication method for our online reservation.

The reservation validated by the Client will be considered effective only after approval from the relevant banking payment centers via 3DSECURE. In the event of rejection by these centers, the reservation will not be processed. Payment must be made with one of the credit cards specified on the website, through a secure internet page. The Client's credit card details will be encrypted using the SSL (Secured Socket Layer) protocol.

The details of the Client's credit card can never be transmitted over the Internet without encryption. The Service Provider relies on an authorized PSP subcontractor for this purpose.

For the flexible rate: no prepayment is required at the time of booking. The Client's credit card number is necessary to validate the reservation along with its 3DSECURE authentication, but the Client's credit card will not be charged except in the case of late cancellation or a no-show by the client.

If the creation of the ALIAS is declined, a pre-authorization may be conducted as a reservation guarantee using the hotel's Point of Sale Terminal (TPE).

The payment for the reservation must be made directly to the Service Provider, at the hotel, upon the Client's arrival.

For non-prepaid online rates: Upon the Client's arrival, the hotel may request a security deposit or authorization to debit the credit card to guarantee payment for the services consumed on-site.

Payment for extras: Any additional charges (bar, telephone, etc.) that are not explicitly included in the rates will be payable directly on-site at the end of the stay.

Otherwise, the Client expressly authorizes the Service Provider to debit the credit card provided as a guarantee for the payment of any outstanding extras or services.
