Each party cannot be held responsible 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 performance of their mutual obligations and that each party bears the burden of the resulting costs.

The documents forming the contractual commitments between the parties are, in descending order of priority, the voucher or the reservation request (including the specific conditions of the reserved rate) and these general conditions. In the event of a contradiction between the reservation form and the general conditions, the provisions appearing in the reservation form will be the only ones applicable for the obligation in question. These general conditions of sale by 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 by internet will be put online by the establishment. As soon as it is put online on the internet, the new version of the general conditions of sale by internet will automatically apply to all customers.
