Cancellation by FranceComfort:

FranceComfort is entitled to the right to change or dissolve the rental Agreement with immediate effect and to consider it dissolved  in one of the following cases:

  1. If the Tenant, even after a reminder, has not adhered to the payment terms. FranceComfort may charge the cancellation costs to the Tenant.

  4. If there are behavioural problems/reasons. FranceComfort can terminate the Rental Agreement without due observance of a notice period if the Tenant and/or Co-Tenant(s), despite a reminder, continuously cause disruption during their stay, does not behave as good Tenant, causes serious nuisance to fellow guests and/or the environment or behaves contrary to the agreement in such a way that immediate dissolution of the agreement is justified. This is also the case if, for example, the lives of other people are put in danger. In these cases, the Total Amount will be forfeited.

Obvious implausible mistakes or errors in pricing give FranceComfort the right to adjust the agreement accordingly or to cancel the booking. In this case, the Tenant must take initiative to inquire whether the price stated by FranceComfort is correct. If the adjustment is not accepted by the Tenant, he/she has the right to cancel the booking free of charge.

  2. The procedure is as follows:
    1. If the Holiday Home does not meet expectations, report this immediately to the Manager. The Tenant must first try to find a solution with the Manager on site.
    2. If the Tenant and the Manager cannot reach an agreement or the established complaint cannot be resolved on the spot with the Manager, the Tenant is required to contact FranceComfort within 24 hours. FranceComfort will do their best to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of the Tenants, within its capabilities, provided that this solution is reasonably feasible and does not entail excessive costs. If you fail to inform FranceComfort within 24 hours that the Holiday Home does not meet expectations, you will lose the right to compensation.   
    3. Complaints reported to FranceComfort after the rental period has expired, will no longer be considered.
  3. The Tenant must at all times give FranceComfort  the opportunity to provide a suitable solution for the complaint. Early departure, without prior consultation with the Manager and FranceComfort and a mutual agreement, indemnifies FranceComfort, the Owner and his Manager from the acceptance of any complaint or the request of any form of refund.
  4. If, after reporting the complaint to FranceComfort, the complaint cannot be solved on site, the complaint must be sent to FranceComfort in writing and motivated and supported by photos, no longer than 2 weeks after the rental period has ended! After 2 weeks, the Tenant loses the right  to submit a complaint.
  5. In all cases, the maximum FranceComfort can be held liable for is the Total amount.
  6. FranceComfort is not liable for (extra) transport and /or accommodations costs whilst en route.  
  7. If the Tenant does not comply with the Terms and Conditions set in this article, he/she will lose their right to compensation. This all is only the case if there was any right to compensation in the first place.
