RESPONSIBILITY-PRESCRIPTION

The rental in a Tourist Residence, with its standards and classification on which we depend, does not fall within the framework of the responsibility of hoteliers (article 1952 of the Civil Code). Consequently, Mer & Golf cannot be held responsible for the loss, omission, theft or damage of personal belongings in its aparthotels, whether in the apartments, car parks or common areas. It is the responsibility of the residents to respect the internal regulations.

The statute of limitations for sums due in respect of services sold by Mer & Golf does not fall within the scope of the hotel statute of limitations (article 2272 of the Civil Code). As an exception to article 2244 of the Civil Code, the sending of a registered letter by Mer & Golf to any debtor client interrupts the statute of limitations applicable in such matters.

LOCAL INFORMATIONS

It may happen in the immediate vicinity that work is being undertaken or activities or events are being organised.

The weather conditions may disturb or even lead to the early closure of certain activities in the resort. Mer & Golf cannot be held responsible in any case.

The information concerning the activities of the resort or its surroundings is given as an indication. The Tourist Office of your place of stay will provide you with all the information you may require during your stay.

A case of force majeure, i.e. any event external to the parties that is both unforeseeable and insurmountable, making it impossible for either party to perform all or part of the obligations provided for in the contract, cannot lead to a cancellation without charge if the planned Mer & Golf service is provided on site.
Force majeure has the effect of suspending the execution of the Parties' obligations, with the Parties bearing the costs incurred by them. The company operating the residence may not be held responsible for any consequences and effects arising from this and may then be obliged to modify its services partially or totally (partial or total closure of a site or a common facility, etc.) without the Co-contractor being able to claim any compensation.

CLAIMS

Any failure in the execution of the contract, any shortcoming, damage or breakage noted on arrival must be reported immediately to our teams on site so as not to suffer the consequences throughout the stay.

On return, any complaint relating to a stay must be sent by e-mail to the aparthotel concerned. If the customer fails to reach an amicable solution within 60 days of contacting customer service, he/she may have recourse to a mediator. The consumer must contact the CMAP using the form available on the CMAP website (www.cmap.fr), by e-mail (consommation@cmap.fr) or by post (CMAP - Service Médiation de la consommation, 39, avenue F.D. Roosevelt, 75008 PARIS).

PERSONAL DATA

Data is collected and processed for the purposes of managing your stay (including booking operations, follow-up, payment, satisfaction assessment and information).
