5. Booking

Booking can be made in writing, by telephone, directly on the Homerez Web Site or on the Third Party Rental Platform. The Main Traveller is informed that Homerez is mandated to collect the total amount of the rental in the name and on behalf of the Principal.
When booking the Accommodation, the Main Traveller must indicate the exact number of Travellers (adults, children, babies) who will occupy the Accommodation. If this number should increase, he must immediately inform Homerez and the Principal, it being specified that this change may be refused or accepted in exchange for the payment of additional fees by the Principal. The Main Traveller is informed that in the event that the number of Travellers occupying the Accommodation exceeds the number indicated at the moment of the booking, the Principal may restrict entry to the premises to the indicated number of Travellers and refuse entry to the others.

Option 1/ Booking less than 60 days before the arrival date.
The Main Traveller will pay to Homerez the total amount for the rental. This payment must be made immediately via one of the various payment methods offered to the Main Traveller (Paybox, debit, transfer, sofort). Failing that, the Accommodation will not be booked.
In any event, the rental of the Accommodation becomes definitive when the full payment of the rental amount has been made and the Main Traveller has received confirmation of this by e-mail to the provided e-mail address.
The Main Traveller will receive by e-mail, at least two weeks before the rental date, all the relevant information and in particular the contact details of the person appointed by the Principal to welcome him and to fill in the inventory of fixture of the Accommodation.

Option 2/ Booking more than 60 days before the arrival date and for a total amount of more than €1000
If the booking request is made more than 60 days before the start date of the rental period and the total amount of the rental period exceeds €1000 (one thousand euros), the Main Traveller must pay a deposit of 30% of the total amount (rental price and any additional fees). This payment must be made immediately via one of the various payment methods offered to the Main Traveller (credit card, bank transfer, sofort, credit card direct debit). In the absence of payment of the full deposit, the booking of the Accommodation will not be made and Homerez will be free to offer and book the Accommodation to another traveller.
The payment of the deposit implies a firm booking of the Accommodation under the terms and conditions set out in these terms and conditions. The balance of the total amount of the rented Accommodation must be paid at the latest 60 days before the date of arrival, of the beginning of the rental period.
If the Main Traveller fails to pay the balance within the aforementioned period, Homerez will be entitled to immediately terminate the rental agreement to the exclusive detriment of the Main Traveller. The Main Traveller will then be charged a cancellation fee corresponding to the balance of the rental amount.
If the Main Traveller subsequently renounces the rented Accommodation or does not show up at the Accommodation, he will remain liable for the full amount of the rental minus the said deposit.

Option 3/ Booking more than 60 days before the arrival date and for a total amount of less than €1000
If the booking request is made more than 60 days before the start date of the rental period and the total amount of the rental is less than €1000 (one thousand euros), the Main Traveller will pay the total amount of the rented Accommodation to Homerez. This payment must be made immediately via one of the various payment methods offered to the Main Traveller (Paybox, debit, bank transfer, sofort). Failing that, the Accommodation will not be booked.
In any event, the rental of the Accommodation becomes definitive when the full payment of the rental amount has been made and the Main Traveller has received confirmation of this by e-mail to the provided e-mail address.
The Main Traveller will receive by e-mail, at least two weeks before the rental date, all the relevant information and in particular the contact details of the person appointed by the Principal to welcome him and to fill in the inventory of fixture of the Accommodation.

6. Cancellation policy

The booking can be cancelled by the Main Traveller free of charge up to 60 days before the start of the rental period. The amount already paid for the booking will be refunded to the Main Traveller within 72 hours following the cancellation.
Cancellations made less than 60 days prior to the start of the rental period will result in the Main Traveller paying a cancellation fee of 100% of the total rental amount. The deposit paid by the Main Traveller is retained by Homerez, and the Main Traveller must therefore pay the balance of the rental within 72 hours following the cancellation.
The Main Traveller is hereby informed that no compensation can be paid to him and that no price reduction can be applied in case of early departure from the Accommodation.
The booking can be cancelled by the Principal without charge up to 24 hours before the start date of the rental period. For any cancellation resulting from the Principal, the Main Traveller will be refunded of the amounts he paid to Homerez for the rental of the Accommodation.

7. Cancellation Guarantee by HOMEREZ

The Cancellation Guarantee by HOMEREZ allows you to cancel your stay within a period ranging from 60 days before your scheduled arrival date to 24 hours before your stay. If you cancel within this period, you will be eligible for a full refund of your stay.
To benefit from this cancellation guarantee, you must inform us of your decision to cancel your holiday by email by contacting our customer service customer@homerez.com. Your cancellation request must be received by the 24-hour deadline prior to your scheduled arrival date.
Please note that the cancellation guarantee is a chargeable service, and the corresponding fee will be added to the total amount of your booking. The cancellation guarantee fee is non-refundable, even if you decide not to use it.
This cancellation guarantee is only valid for the specific booking to which it is associated and cannot be transferred to another booking.

8. Security Deposit

The security deposit must be paid to the Principal by the Main Traveller in accordance with the terms set out in the advertisement by the Principal. If the security deposit is not paid in accordance with the terms of the advertisement, the Principal may refuse the entry of the Traveller(s) into the Accommodation. In this case, this refusal will not give rise to any claim whatsoever on the part of the Main Traveller or the Travellers since this failure on the part of the Main Traveller is being deemed to be an early termination of the rental agreement to his exclusive detriment.
This security deposit is intended to cover any possible damage caused by the Traveller(s) to the accommodation and its furnishing, as well as the loss of keys or objects. The security deposit will be returned to the Main Traveller in full or in part within a maximum of 30 days after the end of the rental period.
The amount of the security deposit returned to the Main Traveller will be reduced by the sums necessary to cover damage and/or deterioration of the Accommodation and the furniture and objects found in the Accommodation caused by the Traveller(s), as well as the loss of keys or objects.

In any event, the Principal may retain the entire security deposit and, if applicable, request the payment of damages by the Main Traveller in the following cases:

• Serious failure of the Traveller(s) to comply with the rules of hygiene
• Deterioration resulting in repair (or replacement) costs exceeding the amount of the security deposit, subject to the proof being provided by the Principal

The Main Traveller is fully aware that Homerez cannot be held responsible for the Principal's refusal to refund the sums paid for the security deposit.

9. Inventory of fixture

The arrival and departure of the Main Traveller and the Travellers must take place during the time slots set by the Principal and specified in the advertisement.
The Main Traveller undertakes to contact the Principal or the person authorised to represent him in the days before his arrival and departure from the Accommodation in order to set a precise schedule.
If the Main Traveller is prevented from arriving or is late for any reason whatsoever, he must immediately inform the Principal in order to agree on a new schedule. An inventory of fixture and an inventory of the furniture made available to the Traveller(s) will be given to the Main Traveller or to the Traveller(s) upon entry into the Accommodation. The handing over of the inventory of fixture to a Traveller will be considered as handing over to the Main Traveller. If the inventory of fixture and inventory of the furniture are not drawn up and signed by the Principal, or by the person authorised to represent him, and the Main Traveller at the same time (contradictory inventory of fixtures and inventories), the inventory of fixture and inventory of furniture drawn up by the Principal alone and handed over to the Main Traveller when he enters the Accommodation may be contested by the Main Traveller within 48 hours following the beginning of the rental period. If the Main Traveller does not contest the inventory of fixture and the inventory of furniture carried out by the Principal and communicated to the Main Traveller upon his entry into the accommodation within this 48-hour period, the inventory of fixture and the inventory of furniture will be deemed to have been accepted without reservation by the Main Traveller.
An inventory of fixture and an inventory will be drawn up at the end of the rental period, each party keeping a signed copy.
In the absence of an inventory of fixture and/or an inventory at the end of the rental period or if the Main Traveller draws up the inventory of fixture and/or the inventory at the end of the rental period on his own, the absence of any contestation by the Principal or the person authorised to represent him within 48 hours of the end of the rental period shall be deemed to constitute the return of the premises in good condition and/or with a complete inventory
The Main Traveller accepts and acknowledges that Homerez cannot be held responsible for the condition of the Accommodation and/or its non-compliance with the description in the advertisement. Furthermore, Homerez only has to make its best efforts to facilitate the exchanges between the Principal and the Main Traveller that may arise in the event of disputes or litigation.
