They acknowledge having understood the nature, destination, and booking terms of the services available on our booking platform and having requested and obtained the necessary and/or additional information to make their booking with full knowledge of the facts. The client is solely responsible for their choice of services and their suitability to their needs, such that our liability cannot be sought in this regard. The booking is deemed accepted by the client at the end of the booking process.
- Booking process
- Bookings made by the client are done through the dematerialised booking form accessible online on our booking platform. The booking is deemed formed upon receipt of the booking form. The client agrees, prior to any booking, to complete the information requested on the form or booking request. The client certifies the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided. After the final selection of the services to be booked, the booking procedure includes, in particular, entering the credit card details in case of a guarantee or prepayment request, reviewing and accepting the general terms and conditions of sale and the terms of sale of the reserved rate before confirming the booking, and finally, the validation of the booking by the client.

In the case of online booking, the email confirmation of the reservation summarises the contract offer, the reserved services, the prices, the sales conditions related to the selected rate, accepted by the customer, the date of the reservation made, the information related to after-sales service, as well as the address of the seller's establishment to which the customer can submit their complaints.

- Liability
- The photographs presented on our booking platform are not contractual. Although every effort is made to ensure that the photographs, graphic representations, and texts reproduced to illustrate the establishments presented provide as accurate a preview as possible of the services offered, variations may occur between the time of booking and the day of service consumption. The establishment cannot be held responsible for the non-performance or poor performance of the booking in cases of force majeure, due to a third party, due to the client, particularly the unavailability of the internet network, inability to access the website, external intrusion, computer viruses, or in the case of unauthorised prepayment by the cardholder's bank. Any booking or payment that is irregular, ineffective, incomplete, or fraudulent for a reason attributable to the client will result in the cancellation of the order at the client's expense, without prejudice to any civil or criminal action against the latter.
- Right of withdrawal
- It is reminded that, in accordance with Article VI.53 of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, if the contract provides for a specific date or period of execution, the client does not have the right to withdraw in the case of a booking:- for accommodation other than for residential purposes (for example, holiday accommodation),- for transport- for car rental,- for catering and services related to leisure activities.
- Respect for privacy
- We collect your data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) ("GDPR"). The personal data you provide to us is necessary for processing your booking and is essential for the management and provision of services (Article 6.1.b of the aforementioned Regulation). For these purposes, your data may be transferred to our partners, online payment providers, and providers established in third countries. In particular, during online payment, the customer's bank details must be transmitted by the payment provider to the bank of the establishment for the execution of the booking contract. We only work with partners who guarantee a level of protection in accordance with the principles set out in the GDPR. With your consent, your data may also be used by us to send you our promotional or commercial offers, by email or post. We retain your data for a period of 3 years after the last contact (email, booking, etc.).

- Force majeure
- Force majeure refers to any event external to the parties that is both unpredictable and insurmountable, preventing either the client or the establishment from fulfilling all or part of the obligations set out in the contract. Events that are considered as force majeure or fortuitous events are those typically recognised by the case law of the Belgian Courts and Tribunals. No party shall be held liable to the other party in the event of non-performance of its obligations resulting from a force majeure event. It is expressly agreed that force majeure suspends, for the parties, the execution of their reciprocal obligations and that each party bears the burden of the costs arising therefrom.
- Entirety
- These General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the sales conditions of the rate reserved by the client, and the voucher or reservation request express the entirety of the parties' obligations. No general or specific condition communicated by the client may be integrated into these general conditions. The documents forming the contractual commitments between the parties are, in order of decreasing priority, the voucher or reservation request (including the specific conditions of the reserved rate) and these general conditions. In the event of a contradiction between the reservation voucher and the general conditions, the provisions in the reservation voucher shall be the only applicable ones for the obligation in question. These general conditions of sale via the internet may be modified and/or supplemented at any time by the establishment. In this case, the new version of the general conditions of sale via the internet will be published online by the establishment. Once it is published online, the new version of the general conditions of sale via the internet will automatically apply to all clients.
