SPECIAL COVID-19
In this period of health crisis we would like to inform our customers of two specific elements of our General Terms and Conditions of Sale: Flexibility: Please read Article 8 of these GTC. Liability: Please read Article 11 of these GTC carefully.

1. Subject
The present general terms and conditions define the rights and obligations of the parties within the framework of the remote reservation of services proposed by Lyon Urban Cocoon on its Site and its Mobile Services.
They govern all the steps necessary for the reservation and the follow-up of the reservation between the contracting parties. 
Any reservation therefore implies that the client fully and unreservedly adheres to the present conditions. 
All clients acknowledge that they have the capacity to contract, i.e. that they are of legal age and are not under guardianship or trusteeship.

The names "Lyon Urban Cocoon" and "site" refer throughout this text to the site named www.lyonurbancocoon.com and corresponding to the domain name that can be consulted at www.lyonurbancocoon.com.


2. Scope of application
These general terms and conditions of sale apply to all bookings made directly over the Internet, via the Website or the Mobile Services.

3. Enforceability of the general conditions
In any event, the version of the general terms and conditions of sale that is enforceable against the customer is the one in force at the time of his reservation on the Website or the Mobile Services or with its partners.

4. Reservation
Reservations can be made on the website, by phone, e-mail or mail.
The reservation will be effective only if the latter is guaranteed by the client, either by communicating a credit card number with validity date, or by payment of a deposit, and after receiving a detailed booking confirmation.
Payment for all services will be made directly to the establishment (exceptions made for prepaid reservations at the time of booking).
The establishment reserves the right to refuse any reservation in the event of an incorrect credit card number or incomplete reservation.
Reservations, whatever their origin, will be payable in Euros only.
The institution accepts the following credit cards: Visa, Mastercard and American Express, and has a secure booking system (SSL) that protects and encrypts all sensitive data transmitted at the time of booking to prevent disclosure to a third party.
When the reservation is registered, a credit card debit authorization will be made.
The total amount will be debited one month from the date of arrival.

The client is solely responsible for his choice of services and their adequacy to his needs, so that the institution's responsibility cannot be sought in this respect.

5. Payment
A deposit of 30% of the total amount of the stay is required to guarantee the reservation.
The balance is to be paid 15 days before your arrival.
For any reservation less than 15 days before your arrival, the total amount of the reservation will have to be paid at the time of reservation..
This prepayment is called a deposit.
There are two ways to pay the deposit:
- Either by check payable to Jean François Dufayet and sent directly to Lyon Urban Cocoon 7 impasse Jean Jaures 69008 (Contact us in this case).
or by credit card.
Or by online payment.
The reservation becomes firm and final only after receipt of the deposit or full payment, within the time limits.

5.1 Security deposit
On the day of arrival, a debit authorization of € 250.00 will be made on the credit card used for payment or otherwise will be requested by check or cash upon arrival of the customer. The security deposit will be fully refunded, or not debited, if no damage has been found by the establishment at the time of check-out.

6. Right of withdrawal
The customer is reminded, in accordance with Article L. 121-21-8 12° of the Consumer Code, that he does not have the right of withdrawal provided for in Article L. 121-21 of the Consumer Code.
The Terms and Conditions of Sale of the reserved fare specify the terms and conditions for cancelling and/or modifying the reservation.

7. Change of stay
Any change of reservation is subject to a request by email or telephone to the establishment. The application will not become effective until the institution has confirmed its acceptance in writing.
In the event of a change of stay, the following conditions apply (except in cases of force majeure): 
- In case of no-show at the scheduled arrival date, your credit card will be charged for the total amount of the stay.
- Any stay started is entirely due.

8. Cancellation of stay
Any cancellation of a reservation must be requested by email or by phone to the establishment. The application will not become effective until the institution has confirmed its acceptance in writing.
In case of cancellation of stay, the following conditions apply (except in case of force majeure): 
- For cancellations more than 30 days before the date of arrival, there will be no cancellation fee.
- For any cancellation between 30 days and 7 days before the date of arrival the cancellation fee is 50% of the total amount of the reservation.
- For any cancellation within 7 days of the date of arrival the cancellation fee is 100% of the total amount of the reservation.
- Any stay started is entirely due.

****In the case of COVID-19, the facility accepts last-minute changes and cancellations of stays if a new containment or movement restriction is to be decided by the government.****

9. Force majeure
Force majeure is understood to mean any event outside the parties that is both unforeseeable and insurmountable and that prevents either the customer or the establishment from fulfilling all or part of the obligations provided for in the contract. 
Are considered as cases of force majeure or fortuitous event those usually recognized by the jurisprudence of the French Courts and Tribunals.
Each party shall not be liable to the other party in the event of non-performance of its obligations resulting from an event of force majeure. 
It is expressly agreed that force majeure suspends, for the parties, the performance of their mutual obligations and that each party shall bear the costs arising therefrom.

10. Awards
The prices are indicated in euros. 
VAT is always included. 
The prices indicated only include the services strictly mentioned in the reservation. 
The tourist tax will be added to the price mentioned in the booking. 
The applicable prices are those in force on the day of the reservation. The establishments, which are independent professionals, are free to vary their prices at any time. Only the price indicated in the booking confirmation is binding.

11. Claims, disputes
Any complaint must be made to the establishment within 7 days of the date of stay.
In the absence of recourse to the conventional mediation procedure or to any alternative dispute resolution method within 30 days, either party may refer the matter to the competent judicial court.

****In the case of COVID-19, the establishment has the right to refuse service if a customer refuses to have his temperature taken prior to registration. The customer being warned the payment of the stay will be due in its entirety. In the event that a client presents symptoms during their stay, the establishment will impose isolation in their room and a temperature reading.

He is responsible for all damage caused by his intermediary and undertakes, in case of damage to the premises made available (apartments, common areas such as the corridor or entrance patio) to bear the costs of restoration.
Also any behaviour contrary to morality and public order will lead the establishment to ask the client to leave the establishment without any compensation and or without any reimbursement if a payment has already been made.

Any additional cost of the room, transport between the two establishments and a telephone call remain the responsibility of the establishment.
