The price quoted is calculated on the basis of a double room (occupied by 2 persons), per day and per person, breakfast, taxes and services included, excluding tourist tax. Free accommodation is calculated as follows: single room (operator) starting from 20 paying persons: free accommodation is then applied to the 21st person (1 single room) then from the 42nd, on the basis of a 1½ double. Any items free of charge connected to the catering service are specified on the quotations. The rate of VAT retained is that in force on the day of the reservation.

Article 3: Contract formation
The contract is definitively confirmed only after the return to the hotel or to the Brit Hotel reservations centre, of written acceptance of the quotation before the indicated option end date.
This acceptance applies to the terms of the quotation as well as to the entire BRIT HOTEL GTCS. The offers and general terms and conditions of sale from the Brit Hotel bookings centre shall prevail. No contracts or external terms and conditions issued by the Client may under any circumstances replace those of the Brit Hotel bookings centre.
Any dispute or complaint must be addressed to our company by registered signed-for letter within a maximum of 8 days. After this time no complaint can be addressed. In accordance with Articles 56, 58 and 127 of the Code of Civil Procedure, any complaint, dispute or litigation, will be the subject of an attempt to reach an amicable resolution (negotiation, collaborative process, participatory procedure, mediation or conciliation). In case of failure, the dispute will be submitted to the competent court on which the company's registered office depends (including debt collection procedures)
Article 4: Option date and Sales status
The option date will be set on a case-by-case basis with the hotel or the Brit Hotel reservations centre. In the absence of written confirmation within the deadline mentioned on the option letter, the hotel or the Brit Hotel reservation centre reserves the right to resell any unconfirmed rooms.
For long options (GIR) or confirmed bookings, the Brit Hotel bookings centre or the hotel may request a sales status report 3 months prior to arrival.
In the absence of a written response from the Client, the Brit Hotel bookings centre or the hotel shall be entitled to take back the rooms for some or all of the contingent.
If the sales status is unsatisfactory, the initial contingent may, following the agreement of each party, be reduced.
Article 5: Reservations
The booked option becomes a confirmed reservation when the following two conditions are imperatively met:
- After reception by the reservation centre or by the hotel of a written confirmation of the quotation by mail or post no later than the final day of the option.
The confirmation must show the services selected (drinks package, breakfast buffet supplement, etc.).
The proforma will be based on this confirmation.
- After the payment of a 30% deposit which will be cashed in 8 days and will remain with the hotel in case of cancellation fewer than 30 days before the arrival of the group. Of course, this condition does not apply if the terms of payment contracted are different (they are indicated on the request as well as on the mail including the option).
The amount of the deposit requested is shown on the proforma which will be sent by the hotel, and must be paid 1 month at the latest before the arrival of the group.
Article 6: Revision of our prices
In the event of significant changes in the provider's charges (+8%):
The Provider undertakes to inform the Client of the price change within a maximum period of one (1) month from the moment they themselves become aware of it and to provide the Client, in good faith, with all the necessary elements to arrive at a precise, objective, comprehensive, and balanced assessment of the impact of the change.
Both Parties then have a period of three (3) months to negotiate an adjustment to the commercial terms.
If, at the end of these three (3) months, the Parties fail to reach an agreement, then the Contract will be terminated for the scope of the Services concerned.
The applicable payment terms are indicated on the application.
Failing this, the balance of the invoice must be settled before the arrival of the group by credit card, cash in euros or by bank transfer 8 days before the arrival of the group. Invoices are established and payable in euros. Any delay or lack of payment noted by the hotel on a single invoice confers the right to:
- Unilaterally cancel future reservations and terminate this contract without compensation to the client.
- Charge late payment penalties to the client based on one and a half times the legal interest rate.
No discount will be paid in case of early payment of invoices.
Any costs incurred by the hotel in recovering its claims are borne by the client.
Penal Clause:
Any delay in payment of more than 30 days will automatically involve the sending of a formal notice and the enforcement of the penalty clause by way of damages equal to 20% of the unpaid amount.
The costs of any procedure incurred by the hotel in recovering its debts will be borne by the client.
Article 8: Catering
For half board, the menus are understood to exclude drinks (based on 3 courses). The drinks package is extra.
For meal breaks, the menus include drinks (based on 3 courses, water, ¼ pitcher of wine and coffee).

For the catering, the choice of menus must be established and communicated no later than 10 days before the arrival of the group. The number of diners must be communicated at least 48 hours before the arrival of the group. This number will serve as the basis for billing.
