Listed below are the terms and conditions relating to the rental of properties through Chalet Accélère (229 Chemin des Plagnettes, 74110, Morzine, France), operated by Ben Cavet, Morzine 74110. Hereafter referred to as ‘Chalet Accélère’, ‘we’ and ‘us’.
These T’s and C’s together with the booking form, which will be completed by the group leader (hereafter known as the Client), will act as a contract between Chalet Accélère and all persons listed on the booking form.
Booking and Cancellation
1. a) To reserve a property the Client either uses the on-line enquiry/booking facility for immediate confirmation of availability or contacts us by email or phone. To confirm a reservation the client should then complete the booking form and send it with payment of the initial non refundable deposit (25% of the total rent due).
b) Following successful processing of the deposit payment, Chalet Accélère will send by email a confirmation invoice and receipt. This is the formal acceptance of the booking. Payments can be made by Bank Transfer.
2. The balance of the rental amount is payable 8 weeks before the start of the rental period. Chalet Accélère will inform you of the date final payment is due on your confirmation invoice. If the balance payment is not successfully processed two weeks after the due date, we reserve the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled and the original deposit will not be refunded. Reservations made within 8 weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of the booking.
3. A security deposit of 500 euros for every rental period is required in case of, for example, additional cleaning and/or damage to the property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client’s liability to Chalet Accélère. The security deposit needs to be sent with final payment and will be refunded 48 hours after departure, once Chalet Accélère has checked the property and its contents.
4. Subject to clause 2 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made only if Chalet Accélère is able to re-let the Property, and any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refunded amount. The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party’s personal belongings, public liability etc.
5. Payments for properties must be made in one lump sum by the group leader and not in multiple payments by individuals.
6. The rental period shall commence at 4pm on the first day and finish at 10am on the last day. Chalet Accélère shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the client shall not be entitled to remain in the accommodation after the time stated.

Responsibilities and Behaviour
8. a) The client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and to leave it in clean and tidy condition (‘as found’) at the end of the rental period. Although a final clean is included in our prices, we reserve the right to make retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs and damage incurred if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.
b) An acceptable state to leave the property requires the client to complete the following:
Removal of all rubbish and recycling; dishwasher emptied or turned on.
9. The Client must also agrees not to act in a way which would cause disturbance to those residents in neighbouring properties, and to respect any local residential by laws regarding noise at night time – noise after 11pm is not tolerated.

Damages and Additional Cleaning
11. In the event of any damage occurring at the property Chalet Accélère will reserve the right to deduct the appropriate costs from the clients security deposit in order to complete full repairs or replacements.
12. As stated in clause 8 if the property requires additional cleaning at the end of the clients stay, costs will be deducted from the security deposit.
13. If any damage or additional cleaning costs exceed the 500 euros security deposit then the client will be held responsible for meeting the final costs of repair or replacement.
14. No smoking is allowed in the property. Smoking related fires invalidate the insurance for the property and the Client would assume responsibility for any damage.

– for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property, nor in respect of any equipment, machinery or appliance in the Property or garden.
