For reservations for the 2023 season, the applicable cancellation terms for epidemic related events or conditions are in the hands of the property owner, with whom the rental contract has been established.
If you rent a property through our partner company Select Villas, their applicable cancellation terms will be provided before reservation.
Holiday rental cancellation terms are subject to any French legislation that may be in force at that time. The French government may decide to introduce specific measures for tourism which could modify the terms that can or must be applied.You are strongly advised to follow the evolution of travel insurance terms and ensure that your policy offers the best cover possible, in particular for the medical risks for you and your family that may affect your ability to travel.
We have indicated the general principles here, that were applied in 2020 / 2021. The final decision will be at the owner's discretion. The solution proposed may be moving the stay to later dates, a refund of the amounts paid, or issuing a credit note. The principle of Force Majeure is given below, for guidance as to what may be considered as warranting specific cancellation terms.
In the event of moving the stay to later dates, we will assist in organising this change of dates. A new rental contract will be established for the revised dates. If there is a seasonal price difference between the original dates and the revised dates, this will be taken into account. The later dates can be typically within the same year or up to a similar period in the following year.
This is subject to condition of Force Majeure established for the dates of your stay. See the notes below for the definition of Force Majeure and the applicable instances.
No additional fees will be charged by Accord Services EI - vendee-gites.com, for processing a timely once-only change of dates. The fees already acquired by Accord Services - vendee-gites.com, at the time of cancellation remain acquired. The amount of the fees acquired is indicated by the payment schedule on the original booking confirmation.
In the event of a cancellation with refund, this will concern the net rental amount received by the owner and will be paid to you directly by the owner.
This is subject to condition of Force Majeure established for the dates of your stay. See the notes below for the definition of Force Majeure and the applicable instances.
The fees already acquired by Accord Services EI- vendee-gites.com, at the time of cancellation, concern the payment of accomplished services which are not refundable. The amount of the fees acquired is indicated by the payment schedule on the booking confirmation.
In the event of a cancellation with credit note, this will concern the net rental amount received by the owner and the credit note will be issued directly by the owner. Credit notes are typically valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
This is subject to condition of Force Majeure established for the dates of your stay. See the notes below for the definition of Force Majeure and the applicable instances.
The fees already acquired by Accord Services EI - vendee-gites.com, at the time of cancellation, concern the payment of accomplished services which are not refundable. The amount of the fees acquired is indicated by the payment schedule on the booking confirmation. Further fees at our standard rates will be applicable for a replacement reservation.
"Exceptional and inevitable circumstances appearing at the place of destination, or in its immediate proximity, which are outside the control of the client or supplier, and which have important consequences for the execution of the rental contract, or the transport to or from the destination, and which can not be resolved or avoided by all reasonable means."
This excludes reasons relating to personal or economic circumstances.
This excludes reasons relating to health, for which the client must ensure adequate cover by travel insurance.
In the light of the knowledge of the situation and the inherent risks, the application of Force Majeure is now determinable in function of the foreseeable nature of the difficulty. The application of Force Majeure may be invalidated if, at the time of reservation, there was already a manifestly uncertain situation for the intended dates of the travel or stay.
(1) It is understood that if, in an unforeseeable manner, a destination becomes officially considered "at risk" for the dates of the planned travel this may invalidate the client's travel insurance cover or health cover, making Force Majeure applicable. However, if, at the time of reservation, the destination is already officially considered "at risk" and possibly to remain so, the client must accept the risk of potential losses and can not invoke Force Majeure.
(2) The client must ensure that cancellations due to existing or future medical conditions are covered by adequate travel insurance and can not invoke Force Majeure.
Outside the specific conditions defined here for Force Majeure, if the supply of the accommodation can be provided as per the contract, our standard cancellation terms apply :
(i) The initial 25% deposit is not refundable.
(ii) The client's liability for the remaining balance can only be lifted, or a refund thereof accorded, at the owner's discretion and may be in relation to the possibilities of re-letting the rented dates.
