– The same applies to any infringement found after the client’s departure, where the amount of compensation will be debited to the client’s bank card.
– In the event of a nightly or early departure without a contradictory inventory of fixtures, the establishment reserves the right to debit the amount necessary to restore the flat. The decision to leave without an inventory of fixtures is tantamount to acceptance of the establishment’s decision on the possible charging of fees.

ELECTRICITY/HEATING CONSUMPTION
The context of the energy crisis forces us to rethink our consumption habits and to enter collectively into a logic of sobriety.
At our level, the actions we are taking are aimed at significantly reducing our energy consumption; in this sense, we are keen to raise awareness and make our guests aware of their responsibility to control and reduce their energy consumption in their flat during their stay. This is why the electric meter must be read by the client at the beginning of the stay and will be read at the end of the stay. The amount of the client’s deposit may be reduced by the amounts covering abnormally high heating and electricity consumption.

– The flats must be vacated by 10:30 am at the latest.
– In the event of failure to comply with this regulation, the establishment reserves the right to charge an additional night at the public rate displayed on the website www.valleedax.fr.
– However, depending on the availability of the establishment, for a supplement equivalent to 50% of the posted rate, the client may keep his room until 5 pm.
– The flat must be in a clean and tidy condition. If this is not the case, the guest will pay the cleaning fee applicable to their flat. The cleaning fee is compulsory for all departures outside the opening hours of the reception.
– Linen that has been rented must be handed in personally to the staff of the establishment during opening hours, otherwise it will be considered as not returned and will be charged to the client.

– The flats are rented for the number of people indicated for the type of flat. You will be asked for the exact number of people to be registered and their age.
– In the event of failure to comply with these regulations, the establishment reserves the right to charge the client the cost of the flat corresponding to the number of people in excess, whether or not the client is present, at the rate in force at the time of the breach of the internal regulations. The establishment will debit the credit card of the offending client.

– An inventory and inventory of fixtures is given to the client on arrival. The client is responsible for checking the contents of the inventory and for reporting any anomaly, missing or damaged items within one day of arrival. Failure to return the signed form to the reception desk on the day of arrival will imply that the client is satisfied.
– On departure, an inventory of fixtures may be carried out by a representative of the establishment and any discrepancies will be noted and compared with the original inventory and the original inventory of fixtures. Any damage, deterioration or maintenance problems will be charged to the client.
– The daily maintenance of the flats is the responsibility of the clients. Any accommodation returned uncleaned will result in the automatic invoicing of the cleaning fee, the price of which is shown on the back of the inventory sheet given to the client on arrival.
– The client accepts and undertakes to use the flat in good manners, therefore any behaviour contrary to good morals and public order will lead the establishment to ask the client to leave the establishment without any compensation and/or without any reimbursement if a payment has already been made. The establishment has internal regulations for the client which are displayed in each flat. The client accepts and undertakes to respect these rules.
– In the event of non-compliance by the client with any of the provisions of the Internal Regulations, the establishment will be obliged to ask the client to leave the establishment without any compensation and/or without any refund if payment has already been made.
– The management of the establishment reserves the right to enter the flats for maintenance, control and/or security reasons.

– Early departure: a later arrival than planned or an early departure is equivalent to a cancellation by the client for the period of stay not consumed and does not give rise to any refund, whatever the reason.
– Renewal request: subject to availability and at the discretion of the establishment, the length of stay may be extended, without any obligation to stay in the same flat or at the same rate. In the event of an accepted extension of stay and the application of a new price, this will be applicable from the date of signature of the new reservation corresponding to the new period of accommodation agreed.

– Pets are welcome in the hotel at an additional cost. They are welcome only if their presence has been specified and accepted at the time of booking. Otherwise, the management will refuse their presence: the client’s stay and bill will nevertheless be retained.

They must wear a collar with the name of their owner who must have insured and vaccinated them, and must have an up-to-date vaccination certificate in the establishment.

– In order to respect the rest of the other clients, the client must take care not to slam the doors or make too much noise, particularly between 10pm and 8am.

The client’s personal objects or effects are strictly under his own responsibility. The same applies to their vehicle.
– The establishment cannot be held responsible for the non-execution or poor execution of the reservation in the event of force majeure, in the event of an act of a third party or one of its service providers or due to the client, such as the unavailability of the establishment’s internet network or the interruption of service on the website www. valleedax.fr (due to a technical failure, whether temporary and/or partial or due to a breakdown, repair, update, improvement or maintenance or other), a computer virus or in the event of unauthorised payment by the bank of the credit card holder.

Each party may not be held liable towards the other party in the event of non-performance of its obligations resulting from an event of force majeure. It is expressly agreed that force majeure suspends, for the Parties, the performance of their mutual obligations and that each Party shall bear the costs arising from it. The Parties shall make every effort to prevent or reduce the effects of non-performance of the contract/quotation caused by an event of force majeure; the Party wishing to invoke an event of force majeure shall immediately notify the other Party of the beginning and end of this event.
