1. Use of the Accommodation

The accommodation is rented exclusively for residential purposes and on a temporary basis.

Prior to making the booking, the Tenant declares that the booking is not directly related to their professional activity. The Tenant shall therefore have no specific rights associated with the rental should it be established that they carry out any professional activity on the premises.

The Tenant may not conduct any commercial, trade, craft or professional activity on the premises.

Likewise, the accommodation may not constitute the Tenant’s primary or secondary residence.

Consequently, the occupying Tenant may not rely on the statutory provisions applicable to residential leases, in particular those relating to the right to remain in the premises.

2. Upon Arrival

Check-in is available from 4:00 p.m.

Check-out must take place before 10:00 a.m. on weekdays and before 11:00 a.m. at weekends, upon request.

We will either be present to welcome you at the rental address provided to you or will inform you of the procedure for accessing the accommodation.

Please let us know your expected arrival time as early as possible.

3. Condition of the Rented Premises

In addition to the inventory, a condition report for the rented premises shall be drawn up in as many copies as there are parties to the agreement, i.e. two copies, and shall be attached to this agreement.

If no condition report has been drawn up, the Tenant shall be presumed to have received the rented premises in a good state of repair and shall be required to return them in the same condition, unless proven otherwise, in accordance with Article 1731 of the French Civil Code.

4. Rental Period

The rental period shall be the period specified at the time the booking is made.

The rental shall automatically terminate upon expiry of the period agreed at the time of booking.

The stay may not be extended without the express prior agreement of La Boîte en Plus.

5. Rent and Security Deposit

The rent for the entire stay is due upon arrival at the accommodation. 100% of the rental amount is charged at the time of booking.

Please note that a security deposit of €300 or €500 is pre-authorised on your bank account for bookings made directly or through Booking.com for a period of 20 days. This amount is not charged but temporarily held while we verify that the rented property has been returned in its original condition.

6. Obligations of the Parties

a. The Owner agrees:

to provide the Tenant with accommodation in good condition and repair, together with the furniture and equipment listed in the inventory, all in good working order;
to provide the Tenant with the services stipulated in the agreement;
to maintain the accommodation in a condition suitable for its intended contractual use and to carry out all repairs necessary to maintain the rented accommodation in good condition.

b. The Tenant agrees:

to pay the rent in accordance with the agreed terms;
to comply with the agreed arrangements for the collection and return of the keys;
to use the rented premises peacefully and solely for their intended contractual purpose;
not to assign or sublet the rented premises, even free of charge;
to be personally present in the accommodation unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking;
to lock the entrance door and any doors giving access to common areas. The Tenant shall be responsible in the event of theft resulting from failure to do so;
to complete the Guest App and provide identification details for all occupants;
not to invite or allow onto the premises any persons other than the guests registered in advance;
to be liable for any damage or loss occurring during the rental period in the accommodation of which they have exclusive use, except in cases of force majeure, fault on the part of the Owner, or the actions of a third party whom the Tenant did not introduce into the accommodation;
not to dispose of any objects or materials in sinks, toilets, drains or other pipes that may cause blockages. The Tenant shall bear the cost of restoring such pipes to working order if this obligation is breached;
not to alter or modify the rented premises or equipment;
to clean the kitchen/kitchenette and wash the dishes before departure, and to leave the premises clean and free of rubbish or waste. The Tenant also agrees to return any moved furniture, lamps or other items to their original positions;
to comply with the building’s internal regulations and/or condominium regulations, where applicable;
to maintain strict quiet between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Parties are strictly prohibited, and the Tenant must respect neighbours and all applicable local regulations;
not to smoke or vape inside the rented accommodation;
not to engage in any activity contrary to the law, public order or accepted standards of conduct, including, but not limited to, the use of illegal drugs, prostitution, theft, deliberate damage, serious disturbances or prohibited gatherings;
to be insured by an insurance company against the risks of theft, fire and water damage, both in respect of rental risks and the furniture and other property made available as part of the rental, as well as against claims by neighbours, and to provide evidence of such insurance to the Owner when the keys are handed over. Consequently, the Owner accepts no liability for any claim that their insurance company may bring against the Tenant in the event of a loss. Under no circumstances shall La Boîte en Plus be held liable if the Tenant is not adequately insured;
not to make any video-on-demand purchases through the television service provided in the accommodation.

7. Liability

The Tenant waives any claim or action for liability against La Boîte en Plus in the following circumstances:

Theft, attempted theft, criminal acts or acts of violence of which the Tenant may be a victim in the rented premises. The Tenant expressly waives the benefit of Article 1719, paragraph 3 of the French Civil Code, as La Boîte en Plus assumes no duty of surveillance or security.
Irregularities, malfunctions or interruptions affecting lifts, water, electricity, gas, telephone services, air conditioning, computer systems, communal services or equipment of the building, or equipment specific to the rented accommodation.
Disturbances originating outside the accommodation, including noise nuisance or building works.
Accidents occurring in the rented premises or as a result of the rented premises during the term of the agreement, regardless of their cause.
Malfunctions or interruptions affecting internet or cable television services, or incompatibility between equipment provided in the accommodation and the Tenant’s own devices.
Failure by the Tenant to comply with public parking regulations, or any exceptional circumstances that may result in the Tenant’s vehicle being fined, ticketed, clamped or towed away.
A change of accommodation by La Boîte en Plus, should circumstances require the accommodation originally booked to be replaced.

La Boîte en Plus also accepts no responsibility for websites accessed by the Tenant using the internet connection provided in the accommodation.

8. Cancellation of the Stay

a. Cancellation by the Tenant

If the Tenant has selected the Refundable option, they may cancel their stay by notifying La Boîte en Plus by email at least 24 hours before the scheduled start date of the stay.

In this case, the booking shall be refunded in full.

If the cancellation occurs after the scheduled start date of the stay, La Boîte en Plus shall retain the amount paid at the time of booking.

If the Tenant has selected the Non-Refundable option, no refund shall be made and the full amount of the booking shall remain due.

These cancellation conditions apply only to direct bookings made through our website.

Bookings made through online travel agencies (OTAs), such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Abritel/Vrbo, etc., are subject to the cancellation policy applicable on the relevant booking platform.

b. Cancellation by the Owner

La Boîte en Plus may cancel the stay at any time.

Where possible, La Boîte en Plus shall offer the Tenant equivalent replacement accommodation.

If no replacement accommodation is available, or if the replacement accommodation offered is not acceptable to the Tenant, the booking amount shall be refunded in full.

The Tenant shall not be entitled to make any further claim against La Boîte en Plus as a result of such cancellation.

9. Termination Clause and Penalty Clause

a. Termination Clause

In the event of failure to pay the amounts agreed under Article 5, the agreement shall automatically terminate without the need for judicial proceedings.

b. Penalty Clause

Without prejudice to the possible application of the termination clause and/or any claim for damages, and pursuant to Article 1226 of the French Civil Code relating to penalty clauses, the parties agree that failure to pay the rent or charges shall result in a 15% increase in the outstanding amounts.

This penalty clause shall take effect if the Tenant fails to remedy the situation within seven days following the sending by the Owner of a formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
