Reservation

Any purchaser wishing to make a reservation must follow the procedure put in place in its entirety (online process: links).
By reserving accommodation both contracting parties agree to be fully bound by the general sales conditions.

• Duration of stay : Having signed the present contract for a specific period of time, the tenant can in no circumstances exercise any right to remain in the accommodation at the end of the stay, even in the event of force majeure.

• Conclusion of the contract: The reservation will become effective as soon as the owner has received the rental deposit from the tenant and the present contract has been duly signed. The letting agreement made between the parties of this contract cannot in any way benefit, even partially, a third party (whether an individual or an association) without the written consent of the owner. Furthermore, a contract drawn up for 2 people cannot be extended to a third person. Any breach of this paragraph will result in the immediate cancellation of the rental to the detriment of the tenant, and any profit accruing will be kept by the owner.

• Cancellation: Cancellations must be made to the owner by registered letter. If the cancellation is made less than 5 weeks before the arrival date the whole of the amount due for the rental must be paid excluding cleaning charges and tourist tax.

• Cancellation before arrival at the accommodation: The money paid is a deposit and will not be refunded by the owner. If the tenant does not arrive within 24 hours following the arrival date stated in the contract, the present contract will be nullified and the owner is free to do as he wishes with the apartment. The advance deposit will remain in the possession of the owner and the renter must pay the outstanding amount as if he had stayed in the apartment. If the stay is cut short, for whatever reason, the whole amount paid will remain in the possession of the owner (except a pro rata part of the tourist tax).

• Cancellation by the owner: In this event the owner will refund the whole amount paid to the tenant. This cancellation is to be made in writing to the tenant, based on valid and well-founded reasons and thereby the tenant cannot expect any further compensation.

• Arrival: The tenant must check in (on agreed date) between 15h and 19h at 16, rue Fénelon 24200 Sarlat-la-Canéda, unless there has been a prior agreement that the keys will be made available by some other means.

• Payment of the balance: the balance of the rental is due 21 days before arrival and must be paid on arrival or, in the event of non-arrival, 8 days afterwards at the latest.

• Accommodation capacity: The present contract is drawn up for a maximum number of X adults, X children (4 to 13 years) and X babies. If the number of guests exceeds the accommodation capacity, the owner can refuse the additional guests. Any change or breach of contract will then be considered to have been initiated by the tenant.

• Particular condition: Exceptionally, PERIGORD QUERCY IMMOBILIER as manager of the In Sarlat® – Périgord Travel® networks reserves the right to transfer the rental to accommodation of an equivalent or superior status without any compensation to the tenant. However, a tenant can make a specific written request to refuse this clause at the time of the rental.

• Inventory: An inventory of furniture and fittings will be found on the back of the entrance door to the apartment. The tenant undertakes to consult the list on his arrival in the apartment and unless he contests the list within 24 hours of moving in, it will be assumed that he accepts the inventory and agrees to be bound by it. The clean state of the apartment should be noted on arrival and any related claims should be made on the same day. Any claims made at a later date will not be contractually valid. The tenant undertakes to keep the rented property clean for the duration of his stay.

• Security deposit or guarantee: The tenant will be asked on arrival to give the owner or his representative a security deposit of 300 euros. This deposit will be returned in full after the outgoing inventory of fixtures, or in part if there have been any breakages or damage which needs to be repaired. In the event of early departure (earlier than the time mentioned in the present contract) which prevents the inventory of fixtures from taking place on the day of departure, the security deposit will be sent back by the owner within 15 days. In the event of damage the cost of repairs will be deducted from the security deposit. If the total cost of damages exceeds the security deposit, an invoice will be made in the tenant’s name. The owner or his representative will have an official report made by a bailiff (payable by the tenant) as well as an estimate for repair work. On receipt of the official report and the estimate the tenant will have 15 days to settle them. If not, the owner or his representative reserves the right to take legal action.

• Use of the property: The tenant must respect the peace and quiet of the rented property and use it in an appropriate manner.

• Smoking is not allowed in any of the properties in the In Sarlat® – Périgord Travel® networks.

• Insurance: The tenant is responsible for any damage he causes and should take out a holiday insurance policy to cover the various risks. The tenant he certifies that as a home occupant he has valid civil liability cover. On request, the tenant will provide a valid insurance certificate requested from his insurance company and which is included in the comprehensive insurance policy for his main home. (If in doubt, please consult your insurance company).

• In the case of accident(s) for which the tenant is responsible, he will bear the full cost of repair or identical reconstruction work.

Cancellation

The purchasers, either private individuals or professionals, have a cancellation period of seven days as from the day of the reservation confirmation.

Terms of payment
