ARTICLE 4: PAYMENT
1 - General rules
All the Bookings, regardless of their origins, are payable in the local currency of the Establishment, unless otherwise stipulated. The Guest should contact the Establishment to find out about its T&Cs of Stay and its specific rules of payment.
If the debit to the Establishment is made in a currency other than the one confirmed in the Booking, the fees for currency transactions are paid by the Guest.
Bank guarantee: For any Booking made on the Services, excluding bookings requiring online pre-payment, the Guest will be asked for their bank card number (and expiry date) as a guarantee. The bank card will not be debited and the payment for the stay is made directly to the Establishment on the date of arrival or departure (depending on the T&Cs of Stay of each Establishment), unless the Guest does not appear at the Establishment and if they have not canceled their Booking beforehand according to the conditions of cancelation of the Reserved Rate.
Bank pre-authorization as a guarantee: Each Establishment has specific pre-authorization requirements. On the date on which the Guest checks in, the Establishment may request a pre-authorization from the Guest's bank on their bank card to cover the cost of the booking, plus a lump sum to cover expenses incurred during the stay that are not included in the reserved rate (such as minibar consumption or tourist tax), and any damage to the room caused by the Guest. The pre-authorization is a fixed sum of money which is designated by the Establishment based on the number of rooms and nights booked. This cash sum is earmarked on the cardholder's account. Apart from some rare exceptions relating to contracts concluded between banks and payment terminal (TPE) suppliers, the bank pre-authorization is not debited. However, depending on the banking establishment, the pre-authorization request may, temporarily reduce the limit on the bank card used by the Guest to guarantee the potential debit, or may appear as a pending debit. At the end of the stay and following payment of the booking, the Establishment will request that the pre-authorization from the guest's bank be canceled, unless the situation for which the request was made actually occur within the duration of the stay. It usually takes twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours to discharge the pre-authorized amount, but depending on the guest's bank, it may take up to seven (7) working days or more.
To activate a pre-authorization request, the Guest will be asked to provide their bank card information. The Guest is informed in advance of the features of the pre-authorization request. The bank card data is stored by the payment provider under a strict bank data security policy. In the event that the Guest's bank refuse the pre-authorization, the booking cannot be guaranteed.
The Services propose a certain number of promotional offers where online pre-payment alone is offered to the Guest. PLEASE NOTE: in this case, no amendment, cancelation or any refund will be possible and the total stay will be debited from your bank card. Pursuant to Article L.121-21-8 of the French Consumer Code, the right to retraction provided for in Article L.121-21 of the French Consumer Code is not applicable.
In the event of pre-payment: pre-paid Bookings are non-cancelable/non-refundable (except for the HOSHO establishment, which offers a pre-paid rate that is flexible, cancelable and modifiable). The bank card is charged the entire amount of the stay, including taxes (with the exception of tourist taxes, which are always paid by the Guest at the Establishment), on the day of Booking or on the check in date of the Guest at the Establishment. The Guest can contact the Establishment to find out about the applicable legislation.
No Show: In the event that the Guest does not show up at the Establishment on the day of their Booking, the latter is considered canceled and the conditions of cancelation of the Reserved Rate apply. The Guest may be debited for the first night or the full stay depending on the conditions of the Reserved Rate.
Specific conditions may apply in the context of selling by Partner Establishments. In this case, the Guest must refer to Article 5 of the GT&Cs.
