The Customer undertakes to comply with, and to ensure that all guests staying in the Accommodation Unit or Pitch comply with, the house rules of the water parks and pool areas and Campsite on which the Accommodation Unit or Pitch is located, particularly the compulsory conditions concerning nudity.

Before Booking, Customers are also advised to consult the travel advice for their destination on the www.dipomatie.gouv.fr website.
ARTICLE 8 - CAMPSITE SERVICES
The Company makes every effort to keep the information and descriptions relating to the Campsite Services it offers up to date on all the Websites and Brochures.

Wherever possible, the Company will inform Customers about any work or improvements being carried out on the Campsites during their stay.
ARTICLE 9 – TOURIST TAX
9.1) The provision amount for tourist tax per day and per person over 18 is included in the price of the stay where tourist tax is included in the package.

ARTICLE 10 – SECURITY DEPOSIT
10.1) Depending on the Campsite and if the Customer has not taken a specific option, a security deposit of between EUR 60.00 and EUR 400.00 may be requested on arrival.
Please note that the Campsite reserves the right to withhold all or part of the security deposit in the event of damage to the Accommodation Unit or the Campsite.
If cleaning is not carried out at the end of the stay, the sum of EUR 90.00, depending on the Accommodation Unit and Campsite, will be deducted from the security deposit (excluding bare Pitches).
Additional security deposits may be requested (see Article 10.3).
10.2) The security deposit will be returned to the Customer on departure after the Company representative has performed an inventory of the premises. The Company representative will carry out the inventory and ensure that the Accommodation Unit has been cleaned properly and that there is no damage or deterioration. In the event of obvious damage or if the Accommodation Unit is not left in a clean condition, the Operating Company may invoice the Customer for the cost of repairing or cleaning the Accommodation Unit
No complaint will be accepted from the Customer in the event of departure without an inventory if the Customer has not given a Company representative a declaratory entry inventory or if the Customer has left the Campsite without carrying out an exit inventory verified by a Company representative. If the Customer fails to submit the declaratory entry inventory, they will be presumed to have taken the Accommodation Unit in a good general condition and state of cleanliness.
In the event of a departure outside normal hours, the Company staff will be the sole judge of the general condition and cleanliness of the Mobile Home, which the Customer accepts. If the rental unit is returned in a good condition, the security deposit will be returned by post, at the Customer’s expense, as soon as possible.
10.3) The Campsite may ask for additional security deposits for the equipment needed to access the Campsite (e.g. magnetic cards for automatic barriers) and/or to use the Campsite Services.
ARTICLE 11 - RIGHT TO CANCEL
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L.221-28 12° of the French Consumer Code, the Company hereby informs the Customer that the sale of accommodation services provided on a specific date or according to a specific frequency is not subject to the provisions relating to the 14-day cancellation period, which cannot be applied to the Booking.
On the other hand, Law no. 2014-344 of 17 March 2014 gives the Customer the option to cancel the cancellation insurance within 14 days of taking out the policy, only if the insurance taken out covers a risk for which the Customer is already insured and if the Customer provides proof of this prior cover. However, cancellation is only possible if no guarantee has been implemented on the date of the cancellation request.
ARTICLE 12 - LIABILITY
Hoteliers’ liability
The outdoor hotel industry does not fall within the scope of the hoteliers’ liability provided for in Article 1952 of the French Civil Code. Consequently, the Company cannot be held liable for the loss, theft or damage of personal belongings in our Campsites, car parks, public access buildings or premises for shared use (bicycle rooms, toilets, etc.)
Website warranty and liability
The Company only has a best endeavours obligation for all stages of Website access, the Booking process and any subsequent services.
The information provided on our Websites and in our Catalogues is accurate upon the date of the Booking. However, this information is subject to change.
The photographs illustrating our Accommodation Units or Pitches on the Websites and in the Brochure are for illustrative and information purposes only. Models cannot be guaranteed.
The Company may not be held liable for any false, misleading or erroneous information mentioned in the Catalogues or on the Websites concerning the Campsites, and in particular the presentation photos, descriptions, activities, leisure activities, services and dates of operation due to the sharing of photographs by the Companies or any other third parties over which they have declared rights.
Although the Company makes every effort to maintain an operational service, it cannot offer any guarantee as to the continuity of access to its Websites and therefore accepts no liability for any direct and/or indirect damage caused by the inability to access them in whole or in part or which may arise from the use of the service by an internet user.
The Company may not be held criminally or civilly liable for the consequences resulting from inappropriate or unauthorised use of the Websites or their content by users or any other third party.
In addition, the Company shall not be held liable for the non-performance or improper performance of the contract entered into in the event of fault on the part of the Customer, force majeure, exceptional circumstances or the unforeseeable and unavoidable act of a third party related to the supply of the services provided for in the contract.
In any event, if the Company is found liable for any reason whatsoever, any compensation for direct or indirect damages will be limited to the cost of the stay.
The comfort level indication given to Campsites outside France corresponds to a classification based on local standards in the host country, which may therefore differ from French standards (Atout France classification).
ARTICLE 13 – CHANGES
13.1) Changes by the Customer
On request, the Customer may request a change to their stay (Campsite, dates and/or Accommodation Unit or Pitch type), subject to availability and capacity. The Customer may request a change to their Booking only once during the season and no more than two weeks before the start date of the holiday. No deferrals to the following season will be accepted.
– An administrative fee of EUR 30 (thirty euros) will be charged for changes to the stay;
– If the cost of the new stay is higher, the Customer must pay the difference between the two Bookings. If the amount of the new stay is less than that of the initial stay, the difference may be reimbursed, and the above-mentioned administrative fees for changing the stay will apply.
The Customer’s attention is drawn to the fact that in the event of a change to the holiday, they will not be able to take advantage of any promotions after the initial Booking. The date of the first Booking will be authoritative in this respect.
If the Company cannot accommodate the Customer’s change request, the initial stay will be maintained unless cancelled by the Customer.
13.2) Changes by the Company
The Company may need to change the holiday before it begins. In this case, it will do its utmost to inform the Customer as soon as possible, in a clear and comprehensible manner and on a durable medium, of the conditions surrounding such a change.
The Company must inform the Customer of the price implications when notifying them of the change. The Customer must respond to the Company’s alternative proposal within the period indicated.
The Customer may:
– Either cancel the Booking, take no action or refuse. The Company will then refund all payments already made, including Booking fees and any insurance taken out, as soon as possible after notification of the Customer’s cancellation.
– Or agree to attend the changed holiday. If this change results in a reduction or increase in the price of the stay compared to the initial Booking amount, the Company will cover this price difference, namely by refunding the difference to the Customer.
The Company will automatically cancel the holiday if the Customer fails to reply within the time limit indicated.
In the event of a Booking at a Campsite that the Company no longer markets during the season, the Company may modify the Customer’s stay in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.2.
ARTICLE 14 – CANCELLATION
Cancellation of the Customer’s Booking is only effective if the Company has issued a document notifying the Customer of the cancellation. Without this document, the Booking and all the contractual obligations arising from it remain full and complete.
14.1) Cancellation by the Customer
If the Customer cancels the Booking
– More than 12 weeks (85 days) before the start of the holiday, the Company undertakes to reimburse the Customer for all sums paid, less a flat-rate processing fee of EUR 50.00.
– Between 12 weeks (84 days) and nine weeks (63 days) before the start of the holiday, the Company undertakes to refund the Customer 50% (fifty percent) of the cost of the holiday. The booking fee remains the property of the Company.
– Less than nine weeks (62 days) before the start of the holiday, the Company reserves the right to retain all sums paid, including booking fees.
If the Customer has not paid the full amount of the holiday less than four weeks before it begins, the Company will consider that the Customer has cancelled the holiday and reserves the right to retain all sums already paid, including booking fees, in accordance with the above provisions.
14.2) Cancellation by the Company
In accordance with Article R.211-10 of the French Tourism Code, the Company has the right, before the Customer’s departure, to cancel the Booking for any reason whatsoever without any alternative solution or possibility of relocation. In this scenario, all sums paid by the Customer will be refunded, and compensation equal to the penalty that the Customer would have paid if they had cancelled the stay on that date (see 14.1).
14.3) Exceptional circumstances
In accordance with Article L.211-14 of the French Tourism Code, and subject to special dispensation being granted by the competent authorities, in the event of cancellation by the Company or by the Customer prior to departure and if the cancellation is due to exceptional and unavoidable circumstances occurring at the destination or in the immediate vicinity of the destination and having significant consequences on the performance of the contract, the amount of the holiday will be refunded in full, but no additional compensation will be payable by the Company.
These conditions will apply in the event of a travel ban issued by the government authorities, formally prohibiting travel in the area where the Campsite is located, or in the event of a general population lockdown ordered by the government authorities prohibiting the Customer from travelling to the stay destination on the dates booked. On the other hand, it should be noted that individual isolation, even if compulsory, in the event that the Customer is suffering from an illness, and/or the absence of a health or, where applicable, vaccination passport, valid for the entire duration of the holiday, will not be considered grounds for cancellation of the holiday or to change it without incurring fees. In this respect, and after checking the cover provided, it is advisable to take out cancellation insurance.
14.4) Transfer
The Customer may ask the Company to transfer the contract to a person who meets all the conditions applicable to the contract. The Customer and their transferee will be jointly and severally liable for payment of the balance and any expenses, fees or other additional costs incurred as a result of this transfer. The transfer will take the form of a cancellation of the Basic Contract and the drafting of a second contract on the same terms for the assignee. The Company will inform the Customer of the actual costs of the transfer. The transfer fee is fifty euros (EUR 50.00).
ARTICLE 15 - CANCELLATION INSURANCE
Holiday cancellation and disruption insurance is available to the Customer. The Customer may take out this insurance with Gritchen Affinity, a partner of the Company.
The insurance will take effect subject to full payment of the insurance premium when the holiday is ordered and booked with the Company providing the services of its insurance partner Gritchen Affinity via its holiday booking methods described in these General Terms and Conditions. The premium is non-refundable unless the Customer invokes the provisions relating to the cancellation period for insurance products and is ultimately intended for Gritchen Affinity.
In the event of a claim, the Customer must notify the company within five days of its occurrence, either:
– By email: sinistres@gritchen.fr
– By completing the form available at the following link: https://www.declare.fr/
The complete general terms and conditions of the above-mentioned insurance are available on request and can be viewed online on the Websites.
The holiday cancellation and disruption insurance will reimburse all sums paid (excluding the excess, insurance premium and booking fees) before the holiday arrival date in the event of a covered event giving rise to a claim. If the holiday is interrupted, a pro rata amount will be calculated for the unused portion of the stay. Any refund will be equivalent to the number of nights not used.
Any request made to the insurance partner using the form will be firm and final and will result in cancellation of the booking by the Company. The Customer may not claim any compensation, reimbursement or indemnity from the Company, or request that the Booking be kept if the insurer refuses the Customer’s cancellation request.
ARTICLE 16 – COMPLAINTS
16.1) Where possible and without delay, the Customer must report any complaint during the holiday to the operating Company, so the latter can make every effort to remedy the non-conformity or corroborate it and meet the Customer’s expectations to the greatest extent possible.
16.2) If it is not possible to remedy the non-conformity on the spot, the Customer may submit a complaint in writing to Customer Services as soon as possible so they can attempt to remedy the situation.
