Article 1 – General

1-1  Under  the  French  law  of  July  13,  1992,  authorized Tourist  Offices may  handle  reservations  and  sales  for  all  types  of leisure  and  general-interest services related to welcoming visitors in their areas. In doing this, they  facilitate  people’s  efforts  by  offering  them  a  choice  of  services.
French  Tourist  Offices  are  local  tourist  organizations  that  are  at  the disposal  of  service  Providers  who  are  not  members, and  with  whom  the Tourist Office has signed a contract  agreement.

1-2 These  General  Terms and Conditions are valid starting July 1, 2009, and are applicable unless overridden by another specific agreement.

1-3 If  the  Montpellier  Tourist  Office  does  not  make  use  of  any  one  or more of the provisions in these General Terms and Conditions, it shall not be  interpreted  as  a  waiver  of  the  Montpellier  Tourist  Office’s  right  to make use of any such provisions at a later date.

1-4 If   any   provision   of   these   General   Terms   and   Conditions   is un enforceable or void for any reason, either in whole or in part, then that provision  (or  part)  is deemed  to  be  deleted  without in any  way  affecting the  validity  or  enforceability  of  the  remainder  of this  contract,  except  in the  case  where  said  provision  is  essential  to  the  overall  applicability  of these General Terms and Conditions.

1-5 Specific  Partner  conditions  indicated  for  a  given  Service,  as  well  as on  the  reservation  confirmation,  also  apply  to  the offer  and  provision  of said  Service,  based  on  terms  identical  to  these  General  Terms  and Conditions.   The   purchase   and/or   reservation   of   a   Service   implies acceptance of specific Partner conditions.

1-6 General provisions related to on-line sales via the Internet Site The   Montpellier   Tourist   office   sells   various   Services   reserved   for individual  use  via  its  Internet  Site.  Said  services
are  governed  by  these General Terms and Conditions.

The order procedure is not technically possible unless the Client accepts these General Terms and Conditions. Except in the case of fraud, proof of  which is the Client’s responsibility, the  Client is  financially  responsible  for  his  or her  actions  on the  Internet site,  in  particular  with  respect  to  the  use  of  his  or  her  User  Name  and Password. The Client agrees to provide true and accurate information on the  Internet  Site.  Any  fraudulent  use  or  use  that  is  deemed  fraudulent, which  is  expressly  forbidden  by  these  General  Terms  and  Conditions,  is considered as grounds for refusal of  Service to the Client at any time, as well  as  access  to  Services  offered  by  Partners  and other  features  of  the Internet Site.

2-2-2-1 Descriptions   and   photos   of   Services   referenced   on   the Montpellier   Tourist   Office   Internet   Site   are   provided   strictly   for informational  purposes, and  content may  vary  according to  the  Provider. As a result, we recommend that Clients contact Providers directly in order to obtain up-to-date information. If the Client deems that he or she does not possess sufficient information regarding the details of the Services he or she wishes to order, the Client may   request   that   the   Montpellier   Tourist   Office   provide   additional
information on said services before placing an order. By  placing  an  order,  the  Client  explicitly  recognizes  that  he  or  she  is making  an  informed  decision  regarding  the  nature  and  details  of  the ordered Services.

2-2-2-2 The  Contract  for  the  provision  of  ordered  Services is  confirmed as  firm  and  binding  when  the  Client  validates  the  page  with  his  or  her reservation  on  the  Internet  Site,  on  which  a  summary  of  said  Services  is provided, and has paid the entire amount due for the ordered services. Until these conditions are met, the Contract is not considered binding and the  Montpellier  Tourist  Office  is  in  no  way  required  to  provide  the ordered Services. Once   the   Contract   for   Services   is   fully   completed, no   further modifications  or  cancellations  by  the  client  are  allowed,  except  if  the client exercises his or her right to retraction as stipulated below in Article 2-4,  or  upon  mutual  agreement  by  involved  parties  in  accordance  with provisions of Articles 8, 9 and 11.

The Client must leave his or her room(s) no later than 12:00 pm (noon) on the scheduled day of departure. REMINDER:  some  establishments  do  not  offer  reception  services  at night. Please take this into account when making your plans.

at a price that is equal to, or less than, that of the reserved room or rooms.

particularly in case of climatic reasons, or force majeure for stays outside the  regular  tourist  season,  or  in  case  the  required  number  of  participants to carry out a particular activity was not reached. Cancellation  of  any  activity  in  the  case  of force  majeure,  or  due  to  any action  by  any  third-party  not  involved   with  the  contract,  does  not constitute   grounds   for   any   punitive   reward   to   the   Client   by   the Montpellier Tourist Office.
