RATES AND CONDITIONS OF PAYMENT

To confirm the reservation, the following steps must be followed:
• A minimum deposit equal to 30% of the rental price not including extras previously reserved. By express agreement between the parties, it is agreed that this amount is a down payment, not a non-refundable deposit.
• The booking confirmation duly dated and signed.
The balance of the total rental price must be paid no later than one month before the arrival date of your stay.
If the balance is not paid one month before the tenant’s arrival date, the Chalets Tâmo management company reserves the right to cancel the stay. In this case, the deposit will only be returned to the tenant if the chalet is the subject of a new rental on the same dates at the same price.
The price must be paid in full, in a single payment, on the day of the reservation if this is made within a period equal to or less than one month before the start date of the stay or if the chosen reservation is non-cancellable, non-refundable.
All our prices are in Euros, indicated all taxes included, and including the rent and related rental charges. Additional charges are at the customer’s expense.
The tenant agrees to take possession of the premises on the dates and times set in the booking confirmation.

The keys and access codes will only be handed over after payment:

• A deposit of €1000 per chalet by cheque, cash or bank transfer (augmented by 5% for transfers outside France),

• The payment of the reserved ancillary services, if applicable, and the tourist tax.

If the deposit is stipulated “cashed” on this contract, it must be transferred at the time of the rental balance one month before arrival.

The rental price does not include:
• Tourist tax (€2.48 per day, per person over 18)
• All ancillary services: airport transfers, ski equipment, ski passes and others.
• Any bank charges payable by the customer. (For credit card payments exceeding €5000 cumulative, bank charges of 1% of the amount collected will be charged.)

 

CANCELLATION

• Any cancellation must be notified by email to contact@chaletstamo.fr.
• The date the email is sent will determine the cancellation date.
• In the event of cancellation by the tenant, the conditions listed on the booking confirmation will be applied.
For any cancellation for which the reason is justified, and in the event of our re-letting of the property, the amount paid may be returned to the tenant who was unable to honour his contract. Stays which are shortened or interrupted by the tenant are not liable for any refund.
If the Chalets Tâmo management company is forced to cancel the stay in the accommodation provided, due to acts of third parties or external circumstances, it will provide accommodation of the same category, if possible, without additional invoicing. Otherwise, it agrees to immediately reimburse the full amount paid.

 

COVID-19 CANCELLATION CONDITIONS

Our teams are committed to implement our health and safety procedures in the chalets in order to welcome you under optimum conditions.
Please note, however, that in these uncertain times, we cannot guarantee that all our usual services will be continued. We will strictly comply with the regulations in force. At this point, the uncertainty of the reopening of bars and restaurants as well as the full or partial opening of the ski area, persists.
For any reservation made, and in the event of the implementation of new measures such as confinement or travel restrictions by the French government that does not allow French citizens to stay in the property or the complete closure of the ski area due to a pandemic, a full charge-free refund of your rental / reservation will be made.

We would like to draw the attention of our customers who do not reside in France: at this point, uncertainty over the opening of borders persists and we cannot guarantee you that on the dates of your stay the situation will allow you to travel freely. If border restrictions were to be put in place by the French government or by the tenant’s government of origin, the full refund of your rental / reservation will be made free of charge. On the other hand, if quarantine measures are imposed on you by the French government or by the government of origin or following an infection with Covid-19 or other virus, no refund could be claimed and the applicable cancellation conditions will be those confirmed in your booking confirmation.

 

INSURANCE

All personal items or effects belonging to the tenant are the latter’s own responsibility.
Regarding the rented property, the tenant is responsible for the damage he causes. The tenant will therefore be required to take out insurance with an insurance company against the risks of theft, fire, broken glass and water damage. Tenants must also be insured to cover all rental risks including rental furniture and the recourse of neighbours, and they must be able to provide evidence of this insurance at the request of the owner or his agent. Consequently, the latter decline all responsibility for the recourse that their insurance company may exercise against the policyholder in the event of a claim.

 

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Goods and movable objects may suffer only from the depreciation resulting from the normal use for which they are intended.
The security deposit is paid to cover any damage caused to the rented goods.
The security deposit paid by the tenant will be kept until the inventory of fixtures is carried out by the management company Chalets Tâmo after the departure of the customer. It can be cashed.
The security deposit (€1000 per chalet) will be presented at the latest when the keys to the rented chalet are handed over.

• Payment either by cheque, cash or bank transfer (augmented by 5% for transfers outside France),
This deposit will be returned within a maximum period of two weeks after the departure of the tenant, after deduction of the cost of repairing the premises if damage was observed.
If the security deposit is not sufficient to cover the costs due to damage, the tenant agrees to pay the balance on first request.

 

CONCIERGE SERVICES

An increase of up to 20% (on the price excluding French value added tax: “TVA”) may be added to our concierge services (taxi transfers, cleaning, etc.)
The re-invoicing by the Chalets Tâmo management company for services having a reduced TVA rate will necessarily lead to a change in TVA at the common law rate* except for services subject to disbursement.
*As of January 01, 2014, the common law TVA rate is 20%.

The sale of alcoholic products will only take place during meals as specified in the law relating to the Great Restoration License acquired by the management company Chalets Tâmo.

 

CHARGES

Certain additional services subject to reduced value added tax ‘TVA’ are provided to you as part of payment. Being an intermediary, the management company Chalets Tâmo is mandated by its client to purchase the product or service (ski passes, ESF ski lessons) at a reduced rate of TVA from the company concerned. This is a reimbursement paid out on behalf of others and the intermediary. The management company Chalets Tâmo does not have to subject to TVA the sums reimbursed by the principal. The management company Chalets Tâmo does not practice a margin and the service is purchased at the public price displayed at the service provider’s cash desks.

 

ARRIVAL

Each tenant must present himself upon arrival at the address – 42 rue des Tremplins Olympique, 73120 Courchevel Le Praz.

DEPARTURE

• On the day of departure, the chalet must be vacated before 10 am, and the keys handed over.

• Any key, remote control, parking acces card or beeper not returned will be billed at the purchase price.

 

LENGTH OF STAY

The length of stay is specified in the special conditions of this contract. The tenant may not, under any circumstances, authorise himself to remain in the premises at the end of this period, except with the agreement given by the management company Chalets Tâmo, for an additional price, which will be prorated to the price of the stay.
The tenant declares on his honour that he does not exercise and does not seek to exercise any profession in the rental and that the premises covered by this contract are only rented to him as a temporary residence: these are important conditions without which this rental would not have been granted.

 

INVENTORY
