Preamble

In addition to these General Rental Conditions (hereinafter “the GTC”), the Special Rental Conditions (hereinafter “the CPL”) between the parties (respectively the “Lessor” and the “Lessee”) are added. These CPL are materialized by:

• Either by email or by online reservation platform between the Lessor and the Lessee.

• Or, only at the express request of the Lessee, of a Seasonal Rental Agreement between the parties (hereinafter CLS).

If clauses are contradictory between the CPL and the CGL, then by derogation from the CGL it is the CPL that prevails.

The accommodation, made up of one or more apartments (hereinafter the "Property"), subject of the CPL, is located in the "Establishment" which is itself defined by either the Residence Macabou (50, subdivision Macabou 97280 Le Vauclin), or Villa Ansalane (25, Allée des Alizés, Quartier Passe-mon-Temps 97229 Les Trois Ilets).

Regarding the Lessee, reference is made to the signatory of the CPL, and, by extension, depending on the context, to the Occupants of the Property.

In the absence of a CLS, it will be agreed that the Lessor is designated at the bottom of the page of these GTC, and the Lessee is designated in the CPL.

The rental price (hereinafter the "Price") includes the cost of accommodation as well as entrance fees.

The CPL as well as the CGL apply from the signature of the CLS by the Lessee or from the payment to the Lessor by the Lessee, of a deposit (hereinafter "the Deposit") of 30% (unless otherwise specified in the CPL ) on the price. Payment of the Deposit confirms the Lessee's agreement to the CPLs as well as to these T & Cs.

The CLS is concluded for the sole benefit of the Lessee. The transfer of the CLS, total or partial subletting, is strictly prohibited.

For the execution of the CPLs and these GTC, the Lessor and the Lessee elect domicile in their respective domiciles. However, in the event of a dispute, the court of the domicile of the Lessor shall have sole jurisdiction. This agreement is subject to French law.

• 2 week delay: Cost 10%

• 2-day delay: Cost 15%
