It does not in itself constitute a charge, but may result in a temporary hold on the amount in the customer\u2019s bank account.<\/p>\n<p>It is carried out according to the terms communicated to the customer at the time of booking or upon arrival.<\/p>\n<p>Normal wear and tear and damage not attributable to the customer do not give rise to any charge.<\/p>\n<p>Any sum claimed under the guarantee must be justified, proportionate and detailed.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment informs the customer of the amount and reason for the charge and makes the corresponding supporting documents available to them.<\/p>\n<p>The use of the pre-authorization to pay a sum due remains subject to validly given bank authorizations and applicable rules.<\/p>\n<p>The sum of \u20ac200 constitutes neither an automatic penalty nor a cap on liability.<\/p>\n<p>Where the justified amount of damage attributable to the customer exceeds \u20ac200, the establishment may claim the corresponding additional amount, after deduction of sums already paid.<\/p>\n<p>No charge exceeding the bank authorization given may be made on the sole basis of these GTC.<\/p>\n<p>If no sums are due, the request to release the pre-authorization is made after the room has been checked and the account settled.<\/p>\n<p>The time taken for the funds to become effectively available depends on the customer\u2019s bank.<\/p>\n<p>An invoice is issued in accordance with the applicable regulations.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Cancellation, modification and no-show<\/h2>\n<p>The conditions applicable to cancellation and modification are those of the booked rate and are communicated before the reservation is confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Any request must be sent in writing to the establishment or made through the platform used for the reservation.<\/p>\n<p>Where a cancellation is permitted free of charge by the booked rate, it takes effect in accordance with the conditions of that rate.<\/p>\n<p>Any modification is subject to availability and may result in a price change.<\/p>\n<h3>8.1 \u2013 Flexible rate<\/h3>\n<p>For flexible rates, cancellation is free of charge until 7 am, Paris time, on the fifth day preceding the arrival date.<\/p>\n<p>After this deadline, 100% of the total reservation amount is due as cancellation fees.<\/p>\n<p>Any sums already paid are offset against any sums due.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> for an arrival scheduled on Saturday, October 10, cancellation free of charge is possible until Monday, October 5 at 7 am.<\/p>\n<h3>8.2 \u2013 Non-cancellable and non-refundable rate<\/h3>\n<p>For a non-cancellable and non-refundable rate, the modification options are those expressly indicated in the offer.<\/p>\n<p>Where the rate is indicated as non-modifiable, no modification is possible, subject to mandatory legal provisions.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of cancellation at the customer\u2019s initiative, 100% of the reservation amount remains due, except in the case of mandatory legal provisions or a more favorable agreement by the establishment.<\/p>\n<h3>8.3 \u2013 No-show<\/h3>\n<p>In the event of a no-show without prior cancellation, the financial consequences provided for by the booked rate apply.<\/p>\n<p>For rates providing for full billing in the event of a no-show, 100% of the reservation amount is due.<\/p>\n<p>The room is held until the end of reception hours, i.e. 11 pm, unless otherwise agreed in advance.<\/p>\n<p>A late arrival agreed in advance with the establishment does not constitute a no-show.<\/p>\n<h3>8.4 \u2013 Early departure<\/h3>\n<p>In the event of early departure at the customer\u2019s initiative, the rate conditions accepted at the time of booking remain applicable.<\/p>\n<p>Where the rate provides that the stay is due in full, unused nights remain payable, except in the case of mandatory legal provisions or a contrary agreement by the establishment.<\/p>\n<p>The charges applied may not result in double billing of the same amount.<\/p>\n<p>Requests based on exceptional circumstances may be examined upon presentation of supporting documents, without constituting a general promise of reimbursement and subject to the customer\u2019s legal rights.<\/p>\n<p>Group reservations are subject to the specific conditions of their contract.<\/p>\n<h2>9.
