Any Order placed on the website at www.lecarbonnier.fr constitutes a remote contract by and between the Client and the Service Provider.

All Orders are nominative and may not be transferred under any circumstances whatsoever.

ARTICLE 3 – RATES

The Services offered by the Service Provider are provided at the rates in force online at www.lecarbonnier.fr, or on any other information document of the Service Provider, when the Client places an order. Prices are given in euros, excluding tax and inclusive of tax.

Prices take into account any reductions which may have been granted by the Service Provider online at

These prices are fixed and non-adjustable for their term of validity, as indicated online at www.lecarbonnier.fr, in the email or written proposal sent to the Client. Beyond this period of validity, all offers are no longer valid and the Service Provider is not bound to accept the price indicated.

Prices do not include administration and handling fees, which are invoiced as a supplement, in line with the terms and conditions set forth online at www.lecarbonnier.fr or in information (letter, email, etc.) previously sent to the Client, and calculated prior to placement of an Order.

An invoice is issued by the Seller and sent to the Client by the latest at the time of payment of the remaining balance.

3.1. RESIDENCY TAX

Residency tax, collected on behalf of the local/regional authorities, is not included in the prices.

ARTICLE 4 – PAYMENT TERMS

4.1. DEPOSITS

All amounts paid in advance are deposits. These constitute a deposit over the total balance payable by the Client.

A deposit corresponding to 25% of the total price of the Services ordered is necessary at the time the Client places the order. This should be paid following receipt of the definitive rental agreement and attached to the copy to be returned. The deposit amount will be deducted from the order total.

The deposit may not be reimbursed by the Service Provider in the event of cancellation of the stay by the Client less than 90 days prior to the scheduled arrival date (aside for those instances for which provision is made under article 6.4 of these general terms and conditions).

The balance of the stay must be paid in full 30 days before the arrival date (subject to cancellation of the rental).

4.2.  PAYMENTS

Payments made by the Client will only be considered as definitive following effective clearance of funds with the Service Provider.

In the event of any late payment or any payment of amounts payable by the Client after the deadline indicated above, or after the payment date appearing on the invoice sent to the Client, late payment penalties calculated at the weekly rate of 10% of the total price inclusive of tax for the Services will be automatically due to the Service Provider, without any formality or notice being required.

Late payment will lead to all amounts payable by the Client falling immediately due, without prejudice for any legal action which the Service Provider is entitled to take against the Client accordingly.

4.3.  DEFAULT IN RESPECT OF THE PAYMENT TERMS

Moreover, the Service Provider reserves the right, in the event of default in the above payment terms, to suspend or cancel the Services ordered by the Client and/or to suspend execution of its obligations after service of notice without remedy.

Accommodation and pitches should be returned in the same condition as delivered. Failing this, the tenant should pay a fixed-rate fee for cleaning as indicated on the Service Provider website. Any damage occasioned on the accommodation or to any of its accessories will be immediately repaired at the cost of the tenant. The inventory upon leaving the premises must be strictly identical to that drafted at the start of the rental.

5.2.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

For rental of accommodation, a security deposit of €200 is payable by the Client on the date of handover of the keys and this will be returned at the end of the rental minus any repair costs which may be payable.

No reduction will be granted in the event of late arrival, early departure or any change to the number of guests (for any planned stay in whole or in part).

6.1.  MODIFICATION

In the event of any modification to the dates of stay or number of guests, the Service Provider will strive to accept as far as possible all date modification requests in line with availability, and without prejudice for any additional costs; in all instances, this will be a simple obligation of means, with the Service Provider not being able to guarantee the availability of any pitch or accommodation, or any other date; a price supplement may be requested in these instances.

Any request to shorten the period of rental will be considered by the Service Provider as partial cancellation of which the consequences are governed by article 6.3.

6.2.  CURTAILMENT

Early departure may not lead to any reimbursement by the Service Provider.

6.3.  CANCELLATION

If cancellation insurance was taken out and validly triggered, the terms and conditions of cancellation and reimbursement will be applied pursuant to the general terms and conditions of insurance.

It should be noted that cancellation insurance may only be taken out at the time of the initial booking request and the client undertakes to read the terms and conditions of insurance proposed when making the initial booking.

If no cancellation insurance was taken out or validly triggered, compensation for termination will be calculated as follows :

  • Cancellation earlier than 90 days before the planned arrival date: cancellation will be accepted at no cost and all amounts paid will be reimbursed by the Service Provider;
  • Cancellation between 90 and 31 days before the planned arrival date: 25% of the total amount of the stay will be withheld by the Service Provider (corresponding to the total security deposit);
  • Cancellation between 30 and 16 days before the planned arrival date: 50% of the total amount of the stay will be withheld by the Service Provider;
  • Cancellation between 15 days and the planned arrival date: 100 % of the total amount of the stay will be withheld by the Service Provider.

In all instances of cancellation other than cancellation 90 days before the planned arrival date, handling and administration fees (article 3) will be withheld by the Service Provider.

6.4.  CANCELLATION DUE TO A PANDEMIC

6.4.1 In exception to article 6.3 CANCELLATION, in the event of closure, in whole or in part, of the establishment during the booked dates of stay (which will be considered as any total or partial measure prohibiting public stays, insofar as the Client is directly concerned by application of this measure) as decided by the public authorities, and which is not attributable to the Service Provider, all amounts paid in advance by the Client for the corresponding booking which is no longer possible will be reimbursed pursuant to statutory or legal provisions governing said closure and its consequences.

The Service Provider may not however be required to pay any additional compensation beyond reimbursement of amounts already paid out to book the stay.

6.4.2 Any cancellation justified by the fact that the Client is directly affected by COVID 19 (infection) or any other infection caused by a pandemic, or is identified as a close contact, and this situation means said Client is unable to respect the booking on the planned dates will not lead to any compensation for termination or reimbursement by the Service Provider. The Client is liable for taking out cancellation insurance pursuant to article 6.3 CANCELLATION.

6.4.3 In such instance as the Client is required to cancel a stay, in full, due to governmental measures which restrict and prohibit travel (general or local lockdowns, travel restrictions, closure of borders), whilst the campsite is able to respect its obligation to host Clients, the Service Provider will not be bound to undertake any specific reimbursement. Please refer to article 6.3 CANCELLATION.

6.4.4 In such instance as the Client takes out a specific insurance policy covering those risks listed under article 6.4.2 or article 6.4.3, the Client should undertake all formalities with its insurer.
