ARTICLE 3 — THE PROPERTY

Furnished tourist accommodation located in Le Mans (72000, Sarthe, France) — the apartment number, access codes and arrival instructions are provided to the guest with the arrival instructions sent by GSLIBERTY.

The property has been declared to the Le Mans town hall. As of the date of these terms, the town of Le Mans does not yet issue a registration number under article L. 324-1-1 of the French Tourism Code; these Terms will be updated once that scheme is in place.

Short-term furnished seasonal rental, granted to a guest who does not make it their main residence; the stay of a traveller on a business trip is permitted. The maximum length of a stay is 90 consecutive nights. The rental falls outside the scope of leases governed by the French law of 6 July 1989 and of the mobility lease (bail mobilité): the guest may not claim any right to remain on the premises nor any right under those regimes.

43.57 m² — 2 rooms — 1 bedroom — 4 guests maximum

ARTICLE 4 — BOOKING AND FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT

Bookings are made exclusively online on the Site. A booking is provisionally recorded once the guest's card details are registered (card authorisation via Stripe, with no immediate charge) and an email acknowledging receipt of the request has been sent by GSLIBERTY. This booking is a request: it is subject to GSLIBERTY's acceptance and no charge is made before that acceptance. Before submitting the request, the guest declares that they have read and accept these Terms and Conditions (tick box); this acceptance is recorded (date, language, version of the Terms).

A short-term furnished rental agreement is then sent to the guest for electronic signature. This agreement sets out the specific terms of the stay and the house rules, which the guest acknowledges having read.

The booking is only definitively formed once GSLIBERTY has countersigned the contract, following the guest's signature. On that countersignature, GSLIBERTY charges the registered card the total stay amount as detailed in Article 6, which the guest expressly authorises by signing.

If the contract is not signed within the required time (48 hours), the request is cancelled and the dates released with no compensation due to either party. If the charge fails, GSLIBERTY informs the guest and decides on the next steps, including cancellation of the booking.

ARTICLE 5 — NO RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

In accordance with article L. 221-28 12° of the French Consumer Code, the guest has no right of withdrawal for accommodation services provided on a specific date. The booking is final upon GSLIBERTY's countersignature.

ARTICLE 6 — PRICE AND PAYMENT

The total price shown at booking includes:

  • the cost of the stay

  • the cleaning fee (flat rate)

  • the tourist tax (collected on behalf of the town of Le Mans, art. L. 2333-26 of the French Local Authorities Code)

All prices are shown in euros, tourist tax included. As GSLIBERTY is not subject to VAT, no VAT is charged (VAT not applicable).

Payment is by credit/debit card via Stripe only. No cash or cheque payments are accepted.

The cleaning fee covers preparing the property before arrival. It does not exempt the guest from leaving the property in a generally tidy condition (dishes washed, rubbish taken out).

ARTICLE 7 — SECURITY DEPOSIT

A security deposit of up to €500 is pre-authorised on the guest's card before arrival, at GSLIBERTY's initiative. This deposit is not charged unless damage is found. It is released at the latest when the pre-authorisation expires (7 days), or earlier by GSLIBERTY after departure, provided no damage is found.

The security deposit is charged, in whole or in part, only for the actual and documented cost of damage recorded in the check-out inspection report, drawn up jointly and electronically, up to the pre-authorised amount and no later than 7 days after the guest's departure. The guest receives the supporting documents (photos, report, quotes or invoices) and may dispute the amount retained in writing to GSLIBERTY. Any excess of the cost of damage over the pre-authorised amount is not retained from the deposit, and the unused portion of the deposit is released.

The guest must hold a valid pre-authorisation at least 24 hours before arrival. If the pre-authorisation fails, the guest may rectify the situation (another card, a new pre-authorisation) up to 24 hours before arrival. If there is no valid pre-authorisation at that time, access to the property may be refused; in that case, any sums already paid remain governed by Article 8 (non-refundable cancellation policy).

For a stay whose duration exceeds the validity of the pre-authorisation (7 days), GSLIBERTY renews the pre-authorisation during the stay and informs the guest, who undertakes to keep their card valid and funded; any collection provided for in this article remains possible no later than 7 days after departure.

ARTICLE 8 — CANCELLATION POLICY

Non-refundable policy. The full amount paid is definitively retained by GSLIBERTY upon GSLIBERTY's countersignature of the contract, regardless of the cancellation date or reason. No refund is due in the event of early departure or no-show.

Guests are encouraged to take out cancellation insurance at their own expense if they wish.

Exception: if GSLIBERTY is unable to make the property available for reasons attributable to GSLIBERTY, the guest is fully refunded the sums paid, without prejudice to any compensation to which a guest acting as a consumer may be entitled under ordinary law. In the event of force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code (an event beyond the control of the party relying on it, unforeseeable and unavoidable), for example fire, explosion, natural disaster or a decision of an authority, only a full refund of the sums paid is due, with no further compensation. This is without prejudice to GSLIBERTY's liability for any damage event or defect attributable to it.

ARTICLE 9 — HOURS AND CONDITIONS OF OCCUPANCY

  • Check-in: from 5:00 pm

  • Check-out: before 11:00 am

  • Maximum capacity: 4 people

Detailed occupancy conditions (pets, smoking, noise, subletting, etc.) are set out in the rental agreement and house rules provided upon booking confirmation.

The check-in inventory (condition report) is drawn up electronically and sent to the client by e-mail. If the client makes no comment within 24 hours of receiving it, it is deemed accepted without reservation, unless the client proves otherwise (for example by photos or a record of defects existing on arrival).

ARTICLE 10 — INSURANCE AND LIABILITY

The property is covered by non-occupant landlord insurance. Guests are advised to check that their own personal liability insurance covers damage that may occur during the stay.

Towards a guest who is a consumer, GSLIBERTY's liability is engaged under the conditions of ordinary law; it is neither limited nor excluded in the event of bodily injury or breach of an essential obligation of the contract.

Towards a business guest, GSLIBERTY cannot be held liable for interruptions to third-party services (internet, utilities), external disturbances, or the loss or theft of personal belongings; except in the case of gross or wilful misconduct, its liability is limited to the amount paid for the stay concerned.

ARTICLE 11 — PERSONAL DATA AND COOKIES

Data collected during the booking (identity, contact details, photo ID, check-in/check-out report, police record where applicable, SMS verification code) is processed by GSLIBERTY (data controller). The purposes, legal bases, retention periods and recipients of each of these processing activities are detailed in the Site's Legal Notice, "Personal data" section.

Guests have a right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (www.cnil.fr): contact@chezberanger-lemans.fr.

The Site uses cookies; details and how to manage them are set out in the Legal Notice, "Cookies and trackers" section. Guests are informed of their use on first visit and may change their preferences at any time via the 🍪 button or the "Manage cookies" link in the footer.

ARTICLE 12 — MEDIATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event of a dispute, guests are invited to first send a written complaint to GSLIBERTY at contact@chezberanger-lemans.fr.

Individual guest (consumer): if the prior written complaint to GSLIBERTY has not received a satisfactory response, free recourse to consumer mediation via the SMP Consumer Mediator — Société de la Médiation Professionnelle (SMP), 24 rue Albert de Mun, 33000 Bordeaux, www.mediateur-consommation-smp.fr. Mediation is conducted in French.

Business guest: free recourse, with no prior membership required, to the French Business Mediator ("Médiateur des entreprises") — www.economie.gouv.fr/mediateur-des-entreprises.

These schemes are free of charge for the guest and do not preclude recourse to the courts.

ARTICLE 13 — GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

French law applies, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the consumer's country of residence. In the event of a dispute:

  • Business guest: the Nantes judicial court has exclusive jurisdiction

  • Individual guest (consumer): the courts having jurisdiction under the applicable legal rules (in particular Articles 17 to 19 of EU Regulation No. 1215/2012 for consumers in the EU), with no exclusive jurisdiction clause

ARTICLE 14 — GENERAL PROVISIONS

GSLIBERTY reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. Any amendment applies to bookings made after it is published online; bookings already confirmed remain governed by the version of these Terms in force on the date they were confirmed.

If any clause is held void or unenforceable, the remaining clauses shall remain in effect.

Language and archiving: The contract is concluded in French, which is the only version with legal force; translations are provided for information only. In the event of any discrepancy, the French version prevails. The signed contract is archived by GSLIBERTY for 10 years; the client may obtain a copy on simple request to contact@chezberanger-lemans.fr.
