The general terms and conditions of sale define the legal framework within which all bookings take place. Read them carefully .

Article 1. Identification, definitions and scope of application of the general terms and conditions of provision

1.1. Identification of the service provider

1.2. Definitions

By this we mean:

""Client"": the client who books a service made available to him by the Provider, on the Website;

""General conditions"": these general terms and conditions of provision;

""Reservation"": the contract for provision which binds the service provider to the Client at the end of the reservation procedure, including the General Conditions and the specific conditions of access to the accommodation;

""Provider"": the natural or legal person (or their agent) who owns the accommodation made available to the Client through the Marketplace

""Service"": accommodation and/or activities made available by the service provider and bookable by the client.

Scope

These General Terms and Conditions govern the contractual relationship between the service provider and the Client. They are an essential element of the Contract. Consequently, these conditions may only be waived with the prior written consent of the service provider. Therefore, the Client may not, under any circumstances, claim the application of its own general terms and conditions, whatever they may be. If the Client wishes to deviate from these General Terms and Conditions, it must expressly request this prior to the conclusion of the Contract. In this case, however, these General Terms and Conditions will remain applicable in a supplementary capacity.

Article 2. Purpose and acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions

2.1. Purpose

The service provider makes services available to the client. They handle the booking management and, in return, receive payment for their services and resources.

2.2. Acceptance

Any reservation made by the customer implies that he has read and expressly accepted the general conditions, even if he has not affixed a handwritten signature to said conditions.

The client and the service provider agree that the client's booking confirmation is final when they click the "I accept the terms and conditions…" button. By doing so, they declare that they have read and accepted the general terms and conditions of service as well as the specific terms and conditions. They confirm their booking and pay. This constitutes an electronic signature which, between the parties, has the same legal value as a handwritten signature. This electronic signature therefore expresses the client's consent to the service provider's offer, on the one hand, and their acceptance of the general terms and conditions, on the other.

Article 3. Customer's obligation to provide information and use of the rented property

The client is required to provide correct, complete and up-to-date information, in particular, but not limited to, information concerning the composition of the group of participants in the stay (minors, animals, etc.) and the reason for the stay. The client will assume all consequences whatsoever, including financial ones, resulting from any inaccurate, incomplete and/or outdated information that he or she may have provided.

The client must use the rented property in accordance with its intended purpose and with due care. They are required to respect the maximum occupancy limit. Any breach of this clause may result in the immediate termination of the contract, at the client's expense, with the rental amount remaining the property of the service provider.

3.1. Minors

Under no circumstances will the service provider agree to contract with a person under the age of 18. All reservations made by persons under the age of 18 are considered null and void, without the client being entitled to any compensation. The client is liable to compensate the service provider for all direct and indirect consequences arising from having made a reservation using an incorrect date of birth.

3.2. Animals

Pets such as dogs and cats are allowed, provided they do not exceed 30 kg. If this weight is exceeded, the owner's permission is required.
Any pets accompanying the client must be declared in all cases. The client is responsible for ensuring that their pet does not cause any damage and for cleaning up any droppings in the garden.
No fee is charged for pets. However, if the accommodation is not returned in the same condition and the presence of the pet necessitates more extensive cleaning, a fee of €50 may be deducted from the security deposit.

3.3 Groups

The service provider reserves the right to refuse any reservation, particularly group reservations, without stating a reason or in connection with a festive event, or to impose special conditions on such reservations. Specifically, pre-wedding parties or any type of celebration that may cause damage or disturb the peace and quiet of the premises are prohibited.

3.4. Respect for the neighborhood and the environment

The client agrees to behave respectfully towards the local residents and the environment in general: wildlife, plants, equipment, etc. (campfires, fireworks, and Chinese lanterns are not permitted) and to preserve the tranquility of the area. After 10:00 PM, the client must ensure that the area is quiet to avoid any disturbances.

The client agrees not to park vehicles in areas not designated for this purpose (lawn, garden, etc.). They also agree not to set up temporary accommodations such as tents, mobile homes, etc.

Charging electric vehicles on the home's electrical network is not permitted (except for bicycles and scooters).  

3.5 Sanctions

If the Client fails to comply with the obligations referred to in Article 3, the service provider may refuse access to the accommodation.

Similarly, he will be entitled to terminate the Contract during the stay if he becomes aware of any unlawful or non-compliant use of the accommodation or of any behavior by the client or of any person or animal under his care which causes or may cause any inconvenience or nuisance which jeopardizes the smooth running of the stay.

Article 4. Total price of the stay

4.1. The total price of the stay is comprised of:

- the price of the accommodation, mentioned on the accommodation presentation page published on the Website, for the selected period and taking into account the number of participants declared;

- premiums related to any insurance policies taken out by the Client during the booking process for the stay.

- mandatory charges/additional charges,

-optional charges/additional charges chosen by the client

- Tourist taxes will be added after booking (and are separate from the booking price) (€1.54 per night per adult aged 18 and over). The total amount of this tax must be paid no later than the day of arrival.

Unless otherwise stated, all prices include VAT, to the extent that this tax is applicable.

The customer will no longer be able to benefit from price reductions or promotional offers after making their reservation.

4.2. Mandatory and optional charges

Cleaning fees and bed linen fees are included in the rental price.

If the rental is not booked through Airbnb or Maison Nature, a deposit of €350 must be paid into the owners' account (BE70 0019 4800 5025) no later than two weeks before the occupancy of the cottage. If the deposit is not paid, access to the accommodation will be refused.
The deposit will be refunded within one week and will be returned in full if no damage has been found and if the property is returned in the same condition (a €50 fee may be deducted from the deposit for additional cleaning if the cleanliness of the cottage is impaired).

If abnormal energy consumption (electricity, water, heating) is observed, additional charges may be claimed.
The wood supplied or sold for the wood stove is intended exclusively for that use (it cannot be used for a campfire or barbecue).

Fees related to the provision of additional services are paid by the client to the service provider no later than upon arrival.

Article 5. Payment terms and deposit

All reservations for the standard offer and promotions will be subject to full payment of the amount due for the stay.

Reservations can be paid in installments using the "Klarna" payment option. In all cases, the full rental amount must be paid before the date of the reserved stay.

Following your booking and immediate payment of the total amount of the stay or the deposit, the provider will send you a booking confirmation.

Article 6. Cancellation/early departure fees – cancellation insurance

Cancelling a reservation incurs cancellation fees.

A reservation cancelled more than two months before the start of the stay will be refunded at 100% of the rental price.
A reservation cancelled between 31 and 60 days before the start of the stay will be refunded at a rate of 30% of the rental price.
A reservation cancelled less than 31 days before the start of the stay will not be refunded.

The client's early departure, for whatever reason, does not entitle them to any refund – even partial – of the price of the stay.

The customer can protect themselves against these risks by taking out cancellation insurance.

Article 7. Liability - Insurance

The client occupies the property responsibly. He assumes responsibility for the rented property, its equipment and the land made available to him.

He reimburses the service provider for all expenses incurred due to his actions and agrees to report any damage. By providing the accommodation, he is legally obligated to return it in the same condition in which he received it.

Therefore, he undertakes to cover his civil liability in case of fire, theft, water damage both for rental risks and furniture given for rent, as well as for claims from neighbors.

Article 8. Late payment

Any amount owed by the customer, and not paid 10 days after its due date, will automatically and without notice accrue interest of 1% per month to the service provider from its due date, with interest for any month started being due for the entire month.

Article 9. Solidarity

The obligations of the contract are indivisible and joint and several with respect to the client, his heirs, or his assigns, in whatever capacity.

Article 10. Disputes

Any disputes or disagreements that cannot be resolved amicably will be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district where the building is located.

Art. 11. Presence of surveillance camera

The parking lot is equipped with a surveillance camera. The customer is informed of the presence of this surveillance through the terms and conditions of sale.
