ARTICLE I - 4: ACCEPTANCE OF GTCS – ENFORCEABILITY

The purpose of these GTCS is to govern the relations between the Company and any Customer making a booking or subscribing to a Subscription for Services provided directly by the Company or indirectly by the Partner Distributors within the Residences. They thus determine the rights and obligations of the Parties with regard to the Services offered by the Company.

They are written in French in their original version, the sole version that is binding and that shall prevail over any other version.

The GTCS govern all steps required for the reservation/subscription of the Services and the monitoring of the reservation between the Parties. They shall thus apply to all bookings made directly by a Customer with a Residence, via the Website or via other platforms.

Each reservation of Service(s) implies prior acceptance of these GTCS, regardless of the reservation channel used, that shall prevail over all other previous conditions.

The Customer acknowledges having received, prior to booking the Service(s), in a legible and comprehensible manner, these GTCS and all information listed in Article L.221-5 of the French Consumer Code.

The General Terms and Conditions of Sale applicable to a Service are those in force on the payment date of the relevant Service or on the date of the 1st payment in the event of a Subscription.

In the context of a Flex Stay, the Customer may make the first payment of their reservation by bank transfer or credit card with invoice sent by email and then opt for payment in monthly instalments by direct debit, transfer or credit card.

 

ARTICLE II - 4: CANCELLATION OF AND CHANGES TO BOOKINGS

The terms of cancellation and modification of bookings differ depending on the duration of the stay and the booking channel. The Company offers the following booking channels:

  • (i) online booking:
    • live on the Company’s Website;
    • via other platforms;
  • (ii) booking directly within a Residence.

 

The terms and conditions for cancelling and amending Accommodation reservations are specified in the Booking Form before booking and paying for the stay for all booking channels used.

When booking directly within a Residence or on the Website, the conditions are as follows:

 

1 to 6 nights

 

 

 

 

 

ON-LINE BOOKING

Before 12:00 pm (Noon) – 100% refundable

1 to 6 nights

After 12:00 pm (Noon) Non refundable 100%

When booking directly for a stay of 7 to 28 nights, the Resident may cancel up until 12 noon, 3 days before the planned date of arrival at the Residence. After this period, the entire stay will be invoiced.

These conditions are subject to change and are in any event available on the Website and specified on the Booking Form before the reservation and are also subject to full payment of the stay by the Resident at the following address: www.hife-coliving.fr/.

Due to the degressive nature of the rates and the terms and conditions specific to each type of stay, the change in the duration of the stay at the initiative of the Resident is likely to result in a change in the rate and conditions applicable to the stay.

If the change leads to shortening the duration of the stay, the rate change will be retroactive to the first day.

Subject to availability and depending on the Company’s constraints, the duration of the stay may be extended at any time at the Resident’s request, with no obligation to stay in the same Accommodation or at the same price.

The extension of the duration of the stay shall have no effect on the Price of the Accommodation previously booked and/or used.

In the event of interruption of the stay (regardless of the cause) by the Customer, the entire Price of the Accommodation agreed upon at the time of booking shall be collected by the Company, except in cases of force majeure.

In the event of interruption of the stay by the Company, the latter undertakes to reimburse the Customer concerned for the amount of the stay not honoured, within forty-five (45) days of the release of the Accommodation by the Customer and/or any occupant due to its fault, unless the termination clause is applied under the terms of Article II-8 hereof.

 

ARTICLE II - 5: SPECIFIC FEATURES OF GROUP BOOKINGS

The Company offers the option for a Customer to book several Accommodations at preferential rates when the booking involves at least ten (10) Accommodations (hereinafter, the “Group Stay(s)”).

Any request to book a Group Stay is subject to the Company issuing a quote to the Customer, mentioning the details of the Accommodation reserved and, where applicable, the Hotel Room Services and Ancillary Services requested, the date(s) of performance as well as the Price of the Accommodation and, more generally, the price of the various Services.

The quote shall be valid for fifteen (15) days from its issue date. It becomes null and void thereafter.

Confirmation of the booking of the Group Stay will only be taken into account after the Company has actually received a deposit corresponding to 30% of the total sum of the Group Trip, accompanied by the duly signed quote.

The balance must be settled fifteen (15) days before the arrival of the Group. Any additional services invoiced during the stay must be paid upon departure of the group.

Payment for the Group Stay under the conditions set out above, if made through the Customer Area, shall be made by credit card.

If payment is not made via the dedicated Customer Area, payment shall be made when booking with the Residence reception desk. The Resident may make the payment by transfer, credit card, in cash, or by holiday vouchers (ANCV).

The Company reserves the right to refuse any request to modify the services provided for in the approved quote less than thirty (30) days before the start date of the Group Stay.

In the event of full cancellation of the Group Stay by the Customer, the reimbursement terms are as follows:

  • Cancellation more than ninety (90) days before the start date of the Group Stay is free of charge. 100% of the sums paid shall be refunded.
  • Cancellation between eighty-nine (89) days and forty-five (45) days before the start date of the Group Stay: 25% of the total sum of the Group Stay (according to the quote signed by the Customer) shall be kept by the Company. The balance will be reimbursed.
  • Cancellation between forty-four (44) days and fifteen (15) days before the start date of the Group Stay: 75% of the total sum of the Group Stay (according to the quote signed by the Customer) shall be due to the Company. 30% of the total amount of the Group Stay paid at the time of booking shall be retained by the Company. The balance corresponding to 45% of the total amount of the Group Stay (according to the quote signed by the Customer) shall be paid by the Customer to the Company.
  • Cancellation between fourteen (14) days before the start date of the Group Stay and the day of arrival of the Group Stay: the entire Group Stay (according to the quote signed by the Customer) shall be due to the Company. 100% of the sums paid shall be retained by the Company. The balance of the Group Stay, if any (according to the quote signed by the Customer) shall be paid by the Customer to the Company.

 

In the event of partial cancellation of the Group Stay by the Customer, the reimbursement terms are as follows:

  • Cancellation more than ninety (90) days before the start date of the Group Stay is free of charge. 100% of the sums paid shall be refunded.
  • Between eighty-nine (89) days and forty-five (45) days before the start date of the Group Stay: cancellation free of charge for 25% of the Group Stay (according to a quote signed by the Customer). Beyond that, the sum due to the Company shall correspond to the difference between the aforementioned tolerance of 25% and the actual percentage of cancellation according to the quote signed by the Customer. By way of illustration, if the Customer cancels 40% of the Group Stay, 15% of the total sum of the Group Stay paid at the time of booking shall be retained by the Company as a cancellation fee.
  • Between forty-four (44) days and fifteen (15) days before the start date of the Group Stay: free cancellation for 10% of the Group Stay (according to the quote signed by the Customer). Beyond that, the sum due to the Company shall correspond to the difference between the aforementioned tolerance of 10% and the actual percentage of cancellation according to the quote signed by the Customer.
  • Between fourteen (14) days before the start date of the Group Stay and the day of arrival of the Group Stay: no cancellation possible free of charge. In this case, the sum due to the Company shall correspond to the actual percentage of cancellation according to the quote signed by the Customer.

 

Without prejudice to the above paragraphs, and if availability permits, the Company may propose to the Customer a postponement of the date of the Group Stay to another date. If the Customer refuses, the cancellation conditions indicated above shall apply, which the Customer expressly accepts.

The Company shall make any refund required by the Customer by bank transfer to the bank account details provided by this latter no later than forty-five (45) days from confirmation of the total or partial cancellation of the Group Stay.

Any additional payment to be made by the Customer under the above conditions shall be made by credit card or by bank transfer according to the bank account details provided by the Company no later than forty-five (45) days from confirmation of the total or partial cancellation of the Group Stay.
