and Conditions by negotiating special terms and conditions with its Customers.

compromising the safety of the Hotel or its occupants. Additionally, the Customer is required to behave in a

stated in the Accommodation Services Reservation.

in points 10.2 to 10.7 mentioned above, the Hotel reserves the right to request the Customer’s immediate
departure from the premises without any form of compensation or refund if payment has already been made.

Article 9 - Room change
Article 10 - Customer liability
10.7 Every Customer, whether they make a reservation remotely or on-site, will be required to provide a
deposit in the form of a credit card imprint. The purpose of this imprint is to pre-authorize the deposit amount
without actually debiting the Customer’s account. The deposit will only be utilized at the conclusion of the stay
in the event of any necessary deductions for damages incurred or unpaid on-site services. However, it should
be noted that the use of this deposit does not exclude the possibility of additional compensation if the costs
exceed the deposit amount.
10.8 The Customer will be held responsible for all direct and/or indirect, consequential damage caused by
him/her in the reserved room, or that he/she may cause within the Hotel. Therefore, the Customer agrees to
indemnify Les Domaines de Fontenille for the amount of the damages incurred. This indemnification is without
prejudice to any additional damages, interest, legal expenses, or attorney fees that may be incurred by Les
Domaines de Fontenille. Les Domaines de Fontenille reserves the right to take any necessary actions to seek
compensation for the suffered damage.
10.9 The Customer will thus be liable, without this list being exhaustive, for payment of additional cleaning
costs, reimbursement of the cost of broken or damaged objects and furniture, and payment of the price of the
room if the room is unavailable as a result of damage caused by the Customer.

may arise with respect to third parties, including all accidents, damage and harm of any nature whatsoever.

majeure :
- Examples of force majeure events include climatic, meteorological, or natural phenomena that result in
events like floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes.
- Fire in the Hotel;
- Force majeure events also include pandemic or bacteriological phenomena that lead to the widespread
circulation of a virus or bacteriological risk across the national territory, classified as stage 3. Such events
may result in the implementation of restrictive measures on the free movement of people and the closure of
establishments open to the public.
- Force majeure events also encompass acts of terrorism or military incidents that lead to the implementation
of restrictive measures on the free movement of people and the closure of establishments open to the public.

16.4 Neither Party shall be held accountable to the other Party for the non-performance or delay in fulfilling
any of its obligations due to a force majeure event, as defined in accordance with Article 1218 of the French
Civil Code. The Party experiencing the force majeure event must promptly notify the other Party of its inability
to fulfil its obligations and provide a proper justification. The temporary suspension of obligations, as a result
of force majeure, shall not be considered a breach of the respective obligations, nor shall it give rise to any
liability for non-performance or the payment of damages or penalties for delay.
16.5 If the force majeure event is temporary and does not exceed a duration of SEVEN (7) days, the
performance of the obligations is suspended during this period. Once the cause of the suspension is
resolved, the Parties will make all necessary efforts to resume normal performance of their contractual
obligations promptly. The Party that was unable to fulfill its obligations due to force majeure must notify the
other Party of the resumption of its obligations through registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt or any
other formal means. However, if the force majeure event is definitive or persists beyond the SEVEN (7) day
period, the reservation will be cancelled outright.
