General Terms and Conditions


Article 1 - Applicable Regulations
This contract is subject to the legal status applicable to tourist residences. The resident occupant may not, under any circumstances, elect 30 Rue Paul Duez as their primary or secondary residence. The resident occupant may not make use of the legal provisions applicable to residential leases, notably with regard to tenancies. Any registration of address at the residence, whether in a private or professional capacity, is prohibited.
Article 2 - Booking
The booking of an apartment at 30 Rue Paul Duez shall only be deemed valid when we accept it. Confirmation of the client's booking by "Au 30" remains at the discretion of "Au 30".
Furthermore, in order to be confirmed, the reservation should be guaranteed by payment of a deposit or the full rental amount.
When booking, the renter shall notify of their arrival and departure times so that the person in charge of "Au 30" may be present.
Article 3 - Payment Conditions
The bill issued by "Au 30" is to be paid immediately upon presentation, and at the latest on the day of the client's arrival.
Article 4 - Check-In - Bank Deposit
On the day of the occupant's arrival, a valid credit card issued by a reputable banking institution will be requested so that a banking pre-authorisation in the amount of €500 or €1,000 can be made, depending on the apartment selected. This deposit will only be redeemed by "Au 30" in the event of proven damages caused to the rented apartment. It will be cancelled within a maximum period of 3 weeks following the resident's departure, upon verification that no damages have been found in the rented apartment.
In the event that it is agreed that payment for the rental by the occupant will be carried out by a third party, pre-authorisation will be carried out via the bank card of the resident occupant on their arrival.
If the security deposit is insufficient, the resident occupant agrees to pay the difference on evidence provided by the owner or their representative.
Upon their arrival, the occupant must be able to present a valid identity document and "Au 30" will retain this information.
Unless otherwise agreed by the hotelier, on their arrival the client may not demand to occupy the room before 5.00 pm. Night rental shall cease at 11.00 pm. Loss of a swipe card or key will incur a charge of €50.
Article 5 - Price
The prices are listed in Euros and include all taxes, including VAT at the rate currently in force. Any subsequent changes to the VAT rate in force or any creation of new taxes for the services provided, which occurred between the time when the rates were established and when billing took place, will lead to a change in the fully inclusive price.
The price stated does not include the tourist tax (2016 amount: € 2.48 per person per night). Some optional services are not included (see the attached table of public rates).
Our prices always include the provision of accommodation, bedding, towels, water, electricity, heating and service charges.
Article 6 - Changes to the Booking or Duration of Stay
Subject to availability and at the discretion of "Au 30", the duration of stay may be extended, without any obligations to maintain the same apartment and price.
If the new date requested means that the stay will be curtailed, this will not facilitate a refund or a change in the payable balance provided on arrival.
Any started, interrupted or curtailed stay may not give rise to any refund. Any changes to a reservation made through a third party (most notably on the Internet) must be changed exclusively by the latter.
Article 7 - Cancellations / No-Show
Cancellation
In the event of cancellation, the deposit will not be returned. "Au 30" may request the payment of the total amount of the rental in case of late cancellation (7 days or fewer before the arrival date).
"Au 30" should be informed of the cancellation of the stay in writing (by letter or email). The effective date of cancellation will be the date of receipt of the email or letter. Any cancellation of a booking made through a third party (most notably on the Internet) must be carried out exclusively by the latter.
The person who made the booking who does not appear on the expected arrival date will be charged for the full booking amount.
