These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter “GTC”) define the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the reservation and seasonal rental of real estate properties offered by SAS Andersen Properties & Management, whose registered office is located at 14, rue des Serbes – 06400 Cannes, registered with the Cannes Trade and Companies Register under number 883 972 788 (hereinafter “the Agency”).
Any reservation implies full and unconditional acceptance of these GTC.
For the purposes of these Terms, the term “the Agency” refers to SAS Andersen Properties & Management, registered with the Cannes Trade and Companies Register under number 883 972 788, whose registered office is located at 14, rue des Serbes – 06400 Cannes.
For the purposes of these Terms, the term “the Tenant” refers to any natural or legal person making a reservation or entering into a seasonal rental agreement with the Agency.
The rental is granted for a fixed term specified in the contract.
The Tenant shall in no event claim any right to remain in the premises beyond the agreed rental period.
Unless otherwise provided, the maximum rental period is 90 consecutive days.
Check-in: from 4:00 p.m. on the agreed date.
Check-out: no later than 10:00 a.m. on the agreed date.
The reservation becomes effective upon receipt by the Agency of:
a deposit equal to 25% of the total rental amount, and
the contract duly signed by the Tenant.
The balance must be paid no later than 30 days before check-in.
Any reservation made less than 30 days before the rental period must be paid in full at the time of booking.
Prices are quoted in euros, inclusive of all taxes (TTC), unless otherwise specified.
They include normal utility charges (water, electricity, heating), unless otherwise indicated.
Additional fees may be applied.
The tourist tax, set by the municipality, is payable by the Tenant and collected by the Agency.
A security deposit is required upon check-in. Its amount, determined by the Agency, varies depending on the property.
The assessment of damages, breaches, or additional costs is at the sole discretion of the Agency, based on the check-out inspection and/or findings made at the end of the stay.
Consequently, the Agency remains the sole decision-maker as to the deductions that may be made from the security deposit. The Tenant agrees to accept this decision, with no right to claim compensation or dispute other than through judicial proceedings.
The remaining balance of the security deposit, if any, will be refunded within a maximum of 30 days after the end of the stay, less any deductions made for damages and/or restoration costs.
