Reservations with prepayment cannot be changed and/or canceled in any way, and sums paid in advance as a deposit cannot be refunded.

Some hotels accept certain pets provided that they are kept on a leash or in a cage in public areas of the hotel (to check if a hotel accepts pets or not, customers should refer to the hotel fact sheet on the Website or Mobile Services). For reasons of hygiene, pets are not allowed in dining rooms.</p> <p>3. Customers agree and undertake to use their room responsibly. Therefore, any conduct contrary to accepted standards of behavior and public order will result in the hotelier asking the customer to leave the hotel with no compensation and/or refund if a payment has already been made. If no payment has been made, the customer will have to pay the price of nights already stayed before leaving the hotel.</p> <p>4. Some Accor hotels have Internal Regulations for customers. Customers accept and undertake to respect these regulations. In the event that a customer fails to respect one of the provisions of the Internal Regulations, the hotelier will be obliged to ask the customer to leave the hotel with no compensation and/or refund if a payment has already been made.</p> <p>5. Some hotels offer WIFI access (chargeable or not) that allows customers to connect to the Internet. Customers undertake to ensure that computing resources made available to them by the hotel are not used in any way for reproduction, representation, provision or communication to the public of works or objects protected by copyright or a related right, such as texts, images, photographs, musical works, audiovisual works, software or video games, without the authorization of the copyright holder provided for in Books I and II of the French Intellectual Property Code when this authorization is required. Customers who do not comply with the above obligations risk being found guilty of infringement of copyright (Article L. 335-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code), punishable by a fine of EUR 300,000 and three years' imprisonment. Customers are also required to comply with the security policy of the hotel's Internet service provider, and with the rules for the use of security resources whose purpose is to prevent the illicit use of computing resources, and to refrain from any act that might undermine the effectiveness of these resources. </p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p>  <a name="s13"></a> <h4>13. Guarantees</h4> <p>1. Customers will receive a contractual guarantee applicable to the service.</p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p>  <a name="s14"></a> <h4>14. Responsibility</h4> <h5>14.1 General information</h5> <p>1. Photographs displayed on the Website and Mobile Services of Accor or its partners are merely indicative. Although every effort is made to ensure that photographs, graphic images and text used to illustrate hotels provide as accurate an impression as possible of the accommodation offered, variations may occur, in particular as a result of changes to furniture or possible renovations. </p> <p>2. ACCOR S.A. cannot be held responsible for the non-fulfillment or inadequate fulfillment of the reservation in cases of force majeure, unpredictable or insurmountable actions of third parties, or actions of customers, in particular the non-availability of the Internet network, inability of accessing the Website, external intrusion, computer viruses, or non-authorized prepayment by the card holder's bank.</p> <p>3. Hyperlinks may link to sites other than the ACCOR S.A. Website or Mobile Services. ACCOR S.A. accepts no responsibility for the content of these websites or the services offered on them.</p> <p>4. Any reservation or payment that is irregular, ineffective, incomplete, or fraudulent for any reason attributable to the customer will result in the cancellation of the order at the customer's expense, without prejudice to any civil or criminal action brought against the customer.</p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p> <h5>14.2 Partner services</h5> <p>1.

Complaints</h4> <p>1. Complaints relating to the failure to execute or poor execution of hotel services must, to facilitate processing, be made known to ACCOR S.A. in writing within eight days of the date of departure from the hotel, either directly to the hotel or to the Customer Service address indicated above.</p> <p>2. Accor hotels are operated by companies that are legally separate from ACCOR S.A. and are therefore solely responsible to customers for potential damages. Consequently in cases of litigation, customers must deal exclusively with the company operating the hotel in which they stayed.</p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p>  <a name="s16"></a> <h4>16. Prices</h4> <p>1. Prices relating to the reservation of services are indicated before and during reservation.</p> <p>2. Prices shown are per room for the number of person(s) and date selected.</p> <p>3. Prices are confirmed to the customer inclusive of all taxes in the commercial currency of the hotel (which in some cases may differ from the hotel's local currency) and are valid only for the period stated on the Website or Mobile Services.</p> <p>4. If payment to the hotel is made in a currency other than the currency confirmed on the reservation, the customer is liable for the exchange fees.</p> <p>5. All reservations, regardless of their origin, are payable in the hotel's local currency unless specifically indicated otherwise at the hotel.</p> <p>6. Unless stated otherwise on the Website, additional services (breakfast, half-board, full-board etc.) are not included in the price. Unless stated otherwise on the Mobile Services, breakfast is not included in the price.</p> <p>7. Tourist tax, specified on the rates page, must be paid directly to the hotel, with the exception of online prepayments where this amount may be included.</p> <p>8. Prices are inclusive of VAT applicable on the day of reservation and any change to the applicable VAT rate will be automatically reflected in the prices shown on the date of billing.</p> <p>9. Any change or introduction of new legal or regulatory taxes imposed by the competent authorities will be automatically reflected in the prices shown on the date of billing.</p> <p>10. Conversion into foreign currency is given as an indication and is non-contractual. Only the currency confirmed on reservation is guaranteed (if this currency is different from the one used in the hotel, possible exchange fees will remain the customer's responsibility).</p> <p>11. If a rate states that payment is to be made on arrival at or departure from the hotel, and the customer's currency is not the same as that of the hotel, the rate debited by the hotel may differ from that indicated when the reservation was made, on account of a possible difference between the exchange rate on the date of reservation and the dates of the hotel stay.</p> <p>12. When confirming the customer's reservation, ACCOR S.A. will state the total amount of the order.</p> <p>13. Rates may be increased by different taxes according to cities/countries. Customers undertake to pay the various taxes, without complaint to ACCOR S.A.</p> <p>14. Certain promotional offers available on the Internet are sold exclusively on the Internet, that is, remotely and in no circumstance at the front desk of the hotel.</p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p>  <a name="s17"></a> <h4>17. Payment</h4> <p>1. Customers provide their bank details as a guarantee of the reservation except where special conditions or rates apply, using a credit card or charge card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club etc.) according to the hotel selected, indicating directly in the area provided for this purpose (secure entry by SSL encryption) the card number without spaces, the expiration date (the card used must be valid at the time of the stay) and the card security code in the relevant fields (secure entry by SSL encryption) as prepayment via the Ogone/Ingenico Payment Services or Cybersource payment platforms.The hotel can also ask for a piece of identification in order to prevent bank card fraud. </p> <p>2. Payment is debited at the hotel during the stay, except in the case of special conditions or rates when payment is made at the time of reservation (online prepayment on certain rates). This prepayment serves as a deposit. In the case of a rate not prepaid online, the hotel may ask the customer on arrival for a deposit or an authorization to debit the credit card, in order to guarantee payment of the amounts corresponding to the services provided by the hotel.</p> <p>3. Members of the ACCOR S.A. hotel loyalty program can use their points to reserve all or part of a stay on the Accor Website or Mobile Services, provided that: <ul> <li>- They have reached 2000 points (balance statement taken as evidence)</li> <li>- The hotel selected is operated under one of the following brands participating in the above program: Sofitel, Pullman, MGallery, Grand Mercure, Novotel, Suite Novotel, Mercure, Adagio, ibis, ibis Styles, and Thalassa Sea & Spa.

When the words "rate not eligible for use of points" are displayed on the page showing the available rates, the rate is ineligible.</li> </ul> ALL points used in this way will be debited from the account when the reservation is made. Points used can be re-credited to valid cards only if the reservation is for a rate that can be canceled or modified, and if the cancellation or modification is made before the date of arrival at the hotel.<br/> No points can be re-credited in the case of a rate that is prepaid, cannot be canceled or modified, and/or is non-refundable.<br /><br /> Only the part of the reservation paid by credit card can be credited with points.聽<br /><br /> The use of points will not involve any monetary counterpart whatsoever, including the giving of change.<br /><br /> For all questions relating to the use of the points to reserve a hotel stay, customers should use the relevant complaint form in the <a href="/gb/help/contact.shtml ">"Help and services"</a> section of the Website and Mobile Services. </p> <p>It should be noted that the use of hotel checks, issued in particular by the ACCOR S.A. hotel loyalty program, is limited to expenses paid on site at the hotel only. These hotel checks cannot in any circumstances be used to prepay a hotel stay, either totally or in part, or to guarantee a reservation.</p> <p>4. In the event of a no-show (reservation not canceled - customer fails to arrive) when a reservation has been guaranteed by credit card, the hotel will debit a compensatory flat rate, equivalent to the amount of the first night, from the customer's credit card that was given to guarantee the reservation. Any additional nights reserved will be canceled without charge unless indicated otherwise in the conditions of sale for the rate reserved.</p> <p>5. ACCOR S.A. has chosen Ogone/Ingenico Payment Services (payment service provider) and Cybersource to secure online payments by credit card. The validity of the customer's payment card is verified by Ogone/Ingenico Payment Services and Cybersource. Payment cards may be refused for several reasons: stolen or blocked card, credit limit reached, entry error etc. In the event of a problem, customers will need to contact both their bank and the hotel in order to confirm the reservation and payment method</p> <p>6. If a customer reserves several rooms, but prepayment is required for only one of these rooms, for example, the payment card used on the Ogone/Ingenico Payment Services or Cybersource platforms enables the room in question to be prepaid and the specified payment card will serve as a guarantee for the other rooms. This paragraph does not apply to Mobile Services.</p> <p>7. At the time of prepayment, the amount debited for the reservation includes the price of accommodation, taxes related to the accommodation, the price of meals if breakfast is selected, taxes related to meals and any other supplementary services selected by the customer (as mentioned in point 15.6).</p> <p>8. In the case of a rate subject to prepayment online, the amount paid in advance, namely the deposit, is debited at the time of reservation.</p> <p>9. Some hotels can generate invoices/bills by electronic means. The original file is certified and available online from the email address communicated by the hotel.</p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p>  <a name="s18"></a> <h4>18, Conservation - Archiving</h4> <p>1.

Customers are informed, on every personal data form, of the mandatory or optional nature of responses by the use of an asterisk.</p> <p>3. If information identified as mandatory is not provided, ACCOR S.A. may be unable to register the reservation, manage the customer's participation in the loyalty program or manage complaints made by the customer.</p> <p>4. Information processed is intended for ACCOR S.A., its group entities, partners, service providers (in particular providers of online payment) and hotels.</p> <p>5. Service providerentities andHotels may be established outside the European Union. It is specified that the data that ACCOR S.A. collects (identification data, contact information, personal and professional data, economic and financial information) may become subject to cross-border flows towards non-EU states which may not provide an adequate level of data protection. The data may be communicated to partners established in any country in the world with a view to providing the services from which the customer wishes to benefit, when such flows are necessary as part of the fulfillment of contractual relations between ACCOR S.A. and the customer, or contractual relations between ACCOR S.A. and a third party in the interest of the customer.</p> <p>6. In the framework of precontractual measures for the purposes of reservation or execution of the hotel reservation contract, each may in so far as it is concerned, be the recipient of identification data, personal and professional data, and economic and financial information, in particular for purposes such as hotel reservation, management of the loyalty program, and complaints management.</p> <p>7. ACCOR S.A. has obtained authorization from the CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libert茅s - French data protection authority) (Decision DF-2014-345 of June 4, 2014) allowing ACCOR S.A. to transfer the categories of data mentioned above to all countries in which subsidiaries, service providers and franchise hotels of ACCOR S.A. are established, for the purposes of customer relations management, reservations, customer preferences and the management of marketing and promotions.</p> <p>8. Customers can authorize ACCOR S.A. to communicate their personal data to third parties in accordance with the Customer Personal Data Protection Charter.</p> <p>9. During online payment in particular, customer bank details must be transmitted by the payment service provider (Ogone/Ingenico Payment Services or Cybersource) to the hotel's bank in order to execute the hotel reservation contract. Customers are informed that this transfer of data may therefore take place in foreign countries that do not have adequate personal data protection as understood by the French Data Protection Act. However, customers consent to this transfer that is necessary to make their reservation. In their professional capacity Ogone/Ingenico Payment Services and Cybersource have made a commitment to Accor S.A. to take every possible security measure to ensure that the confidentiality of data in the aforementioned transfers is respected.</p> <p>10.

ACCOR S.A. may in particular email customers its Newsletter, promotional offers and satisfaction questionnaire following a hotel stay. A link allowing customers to unsubscribe can be found at the bottom of all commercial marketing emails.</p> <p>11. Some Accor hotels process personal data for the purposes of prevention and safety of property and persons, and to respond to outstanding debts. For these reasons, the hotel may decide to include in the category of "blacklisted" customers, any customer whose behavior has been inappropriate in the following ways: aggression and rudeness, non-compliance with the hotel contract, failure to observe safety rules, theft, damage and vandalism, or payment issues. These data are mandatory. The status of blacklisted may cause the hotel where this listing originated to refuse a customer's reservation when he/she returns to the same hotel, during a period, depending on the reasons, of 122 or 450 days (in cases of aggression toward staff and/or customers, fighting within the hotel grounds, insults, threats or threatening behavior to staff and/or customers, noisy behavior disturbing other customers, damaging security and/or safety equipment, unnecessarily triggering safety equipment, or other actions causing safety risks to staff and/or customers). Data relating to the identity and blacklisted status of the customer are intended for authorized personnel in the hotel where the listing originated, as well as for ACCOR S.A. and its hotel reservation service providers who may be outside the European Union, in Morocco, a country without equivalent protection, or in the United States. Dataflows to Morocco are contractually regulated by standard contractual manager-to-subcontractor clauses defined by the European Commission. Dataflows to the United States are made to an entity belonging to Safe Harbor.</p> <p>12.

Agreement on evidence</h4> <p>1.

Force majeure</h4> <p>1. Force majeure is understood to be any event beyond the control of the Parties of an unpredictable and insurmountable nature that prevents either the Customer or the Hotel from fulfilling all or part of the obligations set out in the contract. Cases of force majeure or fortuitous events are considered to be those that would usually be recognized by the jurisprudence of the French courts.</p> <p>2. Neither party will be liable to the other party in the event of a breach of its obligations resulting from an event of force majeure. It is expressly agreed that force majeure suspends, for the parties, the execution of their reciprocal obligations and that each party shall bear the burden of the resulting costs.</p> <p class="top"><a href="#topPage">Top of page</a></p>  <a name="s23"></a> <h4>23.
