Article 2 - Length of stay: The tenant signing this contract, concluded for a fixed term, may not under any circumstances claim any right to remain on the premises after the end of the stay.

Article 3 - Conclusion of the contract: The reservation will be validated once the tenant has sent the owner a deposit of 30% of the rental quote amount, either by bank transfer (Beneficiary: LA VALLEE DU LAUNAY - IBAN: FR76 1220 6008 0056 0275 2280 239 and BIC: AGRIFRPP822 - Crédit Agricole DINAN bank), or by credit card if you booked directly on our website, along with a copy of this contract with your name, surname, date, and signature on the first page. The rental agreement concluded between the parties to this document may not, under any circumstances, benefit any third party, whether an individual or a legal entity, even partially, without the owner's written consent. Any breach of this clause may result in the immediate termination of the rental agreement at the tenant's expense. The rental amount will remain the property of the owner.

The balance of the contract must be paid by bank transfer no later than 48 hours before the arrival date following receipt of an automated email sent 10 days before arrival.

Article 4 - Cancellation by the tenant: Any cancellation must be notified to the owners as soon as possible, by email AND telephone call.

a) Cancellation before arrival at the premises:

No penalty will be applied for cancellations made 7 days before arrival. A 50% penalty will be applied for cancellations made between 6 and 4 days prior to arrival, and a 100% penalty will be applied for cancellations made 3 days or less before the arrival date.

In the event of partial or full reimbursement to tenants by the owners, the service fees (0.6%) and the ANCV commission (2.5%) will be deducted from the reimbursement.

If the tenant does not arrive within 2 hours of the date and time of arrival indicated on the contract (i.e. a theoretical arrival between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.), this contract becomes void and the owner may make the accommodation available to them without claiming any refund from the tenant.

b) If the stay is shortened, or if the arrival date is postponed during the stay, due to the tenant, the rental price remains due to the owner. No refund will be issued.

Article 5 - Cancellation by the owner before arrival: The owner will refund the tenant all sums paid for the rental. This cancellation will not give rise to any compensation for damages.

Cancellation during the stay: the owner will refund the tenant the remaining balance due, prorated to the number of days remaining. This refund will be issued no later than 7 days after the tenants' departure. In the event of cancellation by the tenant, the balance for the remaining days will remain the property of the owner. This cancellation will not give rise to any compensation or damages.

Article 6 - Arrival: The tenant must arrive on the specified day, between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, the time slot indicated on this contract. In case of late or delayed arrival, the tenant must notify the owner by telephone sufficiently in advance.

Article 8 - Inventory: The cleanliness of the accommodation upon the tenant's arrival will be verified in the tenant's presence when the keys are handed over. Cleaning the premises under normal use is the tenant's responsibility. In the event of abnormal use of the premises, or exceptional soiling, the cleaning fees will be charged to the tenant, deducted from the security deposit. Regarding the "end-of-stay cleaning" option, this does not replace the tenants' regular maintenance of the accommodation during their stay. The end-of-stay cleaning includes: Empty the bins, empty the dishwasher, and put away the dishes. Vacuum and wash the floors with detergent. Clean the bathrooms and toilets. Leave the bed linens in place.

Article 9 - Security Deposit: Upon the tenant's arrival, the landlord will require a security deposit, the amount of which is indicated on the front of this contract. After a joint inspection of the property upon departure, this deposit will be returned, less any deductions for the cost of repairs if damage is found. In the event of early departure (before the time specified in this contract, i.e., before 8:00 a.m.) preventing the joint inspection of the property in the tenant's presence, the security deposit will be returned by the landlord within 10 days. If damage is found after the tenants' departure, photos will be submitted with the claim.

Article 10 - Use of the premises: The tenant must ensure the peaceful enjoyment of the rental and use the premises in accordance with their intended purpose. Parties are not permitted on the premises, except with the prior agreement of the owners. Quiet hours are requested between 9 pm and 9 am for the comfort of all guests.

Article 11 - Occupancy Capacity: This contract is established for a maximum occupancy of [number] people. If the number of tenants exceeds the occupancy capacity stated in the contract, the owner may refuse entry to the additional people. Any modification or termination of the contract will be considered to be at the client's initiative. No refund will be issued.

Article 12 - Pets: This contract specifies whether or not the tenant may stay with one or more pets. If the tenant does not comply with this clause, the owner may refuse the stay. In this case, no refund will be issued. The tenant will ensure the peace and quiet of other guests on the property. They will specifically take care to keep the garden of the cottage, the grounds, and the surrounding area of the hamlet of Launay clean, as well as the interior of their accommodation. Therefore, the "End-of-Stay Cleaning" option will be automatically included in the rental agreement for pets. The tenant will read the pet policy and agrees to abide by its terms. Pets are permitted with the prior agreement of the accommodation owners. A fee will be charged per pet per week. A security deposit will be required at the beginning of the stay and will be refunded at the end of the stay if no damage is found upon the tenant's departure.

Article 13 - Insurance and stay cancellation insurance: The tenant is responsible for all damages arising from his actions. The tenant is required to have insurance and to provide proof of insurance upon request from the owners. The tenant can purchase cancellation insurance offered when booking the accommodation. They will select the "cancellation insurance" option when paying for direct booking, or by contacting the owner, who will then liaise with the insurer. In this case, the contract will be sent directly to the tenant by email, and the payment for the insurance option will be included in the booking confirmation sent by the owners.

Article 14 - Payment of charges: For the Garance cottages and the Blandine/Camille cottage/duplex: Cold water, hot water, electricity, heating (19°C) and Wi-Fi are included in the rental price for normal use.
