GENERAL RESERVATION AND RENTAL CONDITIONS

Article 1 – Acceptance of the general conditions :
The present general reservation and rental conditions govern the contractual relations between Brittany Cottage and the client, where last mentioned accepts them unreservedly. These general reservation and rental conditions prevail over any other general reservation and rental conditions mentioned on any other document, exception made in the case of prior deliberate and written derogation. The present general reservation and rental conditions are shown and to be read on the site prior to any reservation. Therefore, reserving or requesting a reservation implicates total unreserverdly acceptance of the client of the mentioned general conditions and constitutes the definitive and binding consent of the client of all mentioned clauses.

Article 2 – Contract and term legal regulations :
The rent is seasonal and thus of temporary nature. The lease ceases de facto and de jure at the fixed and agreed expiring date without being forced to expel. The rental period can not be extended without prior written agreement of Brittany Cottage.

Article 3 – Contract extension :

A / Systems of automatic payment and payments by bankcard exclusively :
The systems of automatic registration are considered as valid proof, first, of the choice of the accommodation itself (Villa, Moustoir 1 to Moustoir 5, Mobile-home 1 and Mobile-home 2), second, of the date on which the reservation request has been made, and finally, of the requested rental period (arrival and departure dates). Under these circumstances the clients commitment is a fact upon receipt by Brittany Cottage of the mentioned automatic registration, by payment of the 25% downpayment of the total amount of the stay, of which the encashment is deferred from 1 to 6 days, paid by bankcard on the secured on-line site "e-transactions" of the "CREDIT AGRICOLE" bank.
During this 1 to 6 days delay, depending on the agreements between banking centers (on-line authorization request to the bank of the bankcardholder) and the availability, Brittany Cottage can validate the payment. Without intervenience of Brittany Cottage, all bank transactions are automatically cancelled on the 6th day by the "CREDIT AGRICOLE" bank.

1 / The before mentioned payment validation ensures the client a reservation option for maximum 10 days, priority on any other reservation option defined in paragraph B of the present article 3, during which Brittany Cottage sends 2 copies of the rental contract by email or by post, reminding the client that the accommodation reservation will be valid only upon receipt by Brittany Cottage of one returned copy of the rental contract, dated and signed, prior to a specified date mentioned in the contract, taking into account the 10 days reservation option delay. When this reservation option delay is not respected, the reservation request will ipso facto be considered null and void, and the down payment will be refunded within 15 days maximum.

2 / Insofar as the client returns one of the copies of the rental contract to Brittany Cottage within the before mentioned delay, dated and signed, the accommodation rent becomes firm and definitive when Brittany Cottage sends the lessee by email or by post, the reservation confirmation for the agreed period, accompanied by an invoice indicating the balance to be paid 30 days prior to arrival as well as a reminder concerning the deposit to be paid upon arrival.
In case of a reservation request less than 30 days before the requested arrival date, the total amount of the stay is due immediately and the same procedure as mentioned before will be respected. The only difference being the rapid forwarding (french "Chronopost") costs of the contract for which the lessee will be charged. In case of a reservation request less than 10 days prior to the requested arrival date and after payment validation of the total amount of the stay by Brittany Cottage, the rental contract and a descriptive of the accommodation will be sent by fax to the lessee for signature and should in turn be faxed back to Brittany Cottage. Before handing over the keys though, the original contract should be signed upon arrival on site.

B / Systems of automatic registrations and payments by cheque, post office cheque, certified bank cheque, or bank transfer in Euros exclusively.
Attention : payments by bank cheque are only allowed for residents of the Euro zone.
In these cases, the systems of automatic registration are also considered as valid proof, first of the choice of accommodation, second of the date on which the reservation request has been made, and finally, of the requested rental period (arrival- and departure dates). Under these circumstances, Brittany Cottage will return an email to the client with an availability overview, asking the client whether he wishes a reservation option delay of 10 days. In case of a positive answer, Brittany Cottage will turn the delay to good account by sending 2 copies of the rental contract to the client by post. The clients commitment will be a fact, when the 10 days reservation option delay is respected (date mentioned on the contract), upon receipt by Brittany Cottage of a 25% downpayment of the total amount of the stay and the before mentioned rental contract, dated and signed by the lessee. When this reservation option delay is not respected, the reservation request will ipso facto be considered null and void, and the down payment will be refunded within 15 days maximum. The accommodation rent is firm and definitive when Brittany Cottage sends the lessee the reservation confirmation by email or by post, indicating the balance to be paid 30 days prior to arrival as well as the deposit to be paid upon arrival.
In case of a reservation request less than 30 days before the requested arrival date, the total amount of the stay is due immediately and the same procedure as mentioned before will be respected. The only difference being the rapid forwarding (french "Chronopost") costs of the contract for which the lessee will be charged. In case of a reservation request less than 10 days prior to the requested arrival date and after payment validation of the total amount of the stay by Brittany Cottage, the rental contract and a descriptive of the accommodation will be sent by fax to the lessee for signature and should in turn be faxed back to Brittany Cottage.
