GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE
PARA-HOTEL ACCOMMODATION Applicable from 01/02/2026
1 – PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION
1.1 VILLA MONTGOMMERY offers its visitors a range of top-of-the-range services, including the rental of accommodation (rooms and suites) and the provision of personalized para-hotel services (catering, wellness area). These services are aimed at all types of clientele, for business or leisure stays (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer(s)”). It is also possible to privatize the VILLA MONTGOMMERY for business or family events. VILLA MONTGOMMERY is a single-person simplified joint-stock company with a share capital of €2,700,000.00, registered with the Coutances Trade and Companies Register under number 908 467 368, whose registered office is located at 11 avenue de la Libération, Saint-Jean-Le-Thomas (50530), France, intracommunity VAT: FR03908467368 and represented by Mr. Olivier Philippe, in his capacity as CEO (hereinafter referred to as the “Host”). 1.2 These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter referred to as the “GTCS”) apply without restriction or reservation to all bookings of services on the https://villamontgommery.com website (hereinafter referred to as the “Site”), to bookings made by telephone and e-mail (with payment link), to bookings made directly on site, as well as to quotations for personalized services issued by the Host at the request of the Customer, in particular in the context of privatization of the VILLA MONTGOMMERY. Together with the GTS, the quotation forms the contract between the Host and the Customer. In the event of contradiction, the special conditions agreed in the quotation take precedence over these GTS, and/or supplement them. 1.3 In the absence of prior written acceptance by the Host, no clause contrary to these GTS may be invoked by the Customer, regardless of the time at which it may be brought to the attention of the Host. If one or more stipulations of these GTS are held to be invalid or declared as such in application of a law, regulation or following a final decision by a competent court, the other stipulations will retain their full force and scope. The fact that the Host or the Customer does not exercise, at any time whatsoever, a prerogative recognized by the present GCS may in no case be interpreted as an express or tacit waiver of the right to exercise said prerogative in the future. The General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be modified at any time by the Host. Consequently, the Host invites the Customer to consult the GCS before making any new reservation. The GCS applicable to the Customer will be those in force on the Site on the day of the reservation or attached to the quotation.
2 – FORMATION OF THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP
2.1 The Customer declares that he/she is legally capable of accepting these GTS, i.e. that he/she is of legal age and not under guardianship or trusteeship. 2.2 For any reservation on the Site, clicking on the “Confirm my reservation and pay” button in the case of prepayment, or “Confirm my reservation” in the case of a reservation to be paid for during the stay, is equivalent to an electronic signature. Consequently, the Customer acknowledges that he/she is fully aware that his/her agreement to these GTS does not require his/her handwritten signature. Any reservation made on the Site is in any case subject to prior acceptance of the GTC by the Customer, who must tick the box “I accept the general terms and conditions of sale”. In the absence of proof to the contrary, the data recorded in the Host’s computer system constitutes proof of all transactions concluded with the Customer. In the event that a quotation is issued, the contract is deemed to have been validly formed between the Host and the Customer upon receipt by the Host of the quotation and the GTS duly dated and signed by the Customer without reservation, bearing the Host’s stamp in the case of a business Customer, and the words “Bon pour accord” (“Good for agreement”), as well as, where applicable, the amount of the deposit in accordance with the article “PRICE AND PAYMENT” below. The quotation is normally valid for fifteen (15) days, unless otherwise stated. 2.3 The benefit of the reservation is personal to the Customer and may not be transferred without the prior written agreement of the Host.
3 – LEGAL STATUS
L’Hébergeur offers short stays, within the limit of the number of nights allowed by the regulations applicable to the para-hotel industry on the date of reservation. It is understood that the VILLA MONTGOMMERY will not constitute the customer’s principal residence. By express agreement, the customer’s reservation is excluded from the scope of law no. 89-462 of July 6, 1989, applicable to residential leases. In accordance with the provisions of the French Tourism Code, a prior declaration subject to registration has been filed by the Host. An acknowledgement of receipt including a declaration number has been issued by the commune of Saint-Jean-le-Thomas.
4 – RESERVATION AND CANCELLATION CONDITIONS
4.1 Prior to any reservation, the Customer undertakes to complete the mandatory information requested when creating the reservation file. The Customer attests to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided. The booking request is confirmed as soon as the Customer receives the booking confirmation sent by the Hirer by e-mail to the address provided. This e-mail summarizes the date of the reservation, the services booked, the prices including VAT and details of applicable taxes, the conditions of sale for the rate booked (including cancellation and/or modification conditions), accepted by the Customer, and the link to the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale. If the confirmation e-mail is not received within 24 hours of the reservation, it is the Customer’s responsibility to check their spam mail and contact the Host in order to ensure that the information communicated is correct and that their reservation has been taken into account. 4.2 The Customer is solely responsible for their choice of accommodation and its suitability for their needs, and the Host cannot be held liable in this respect. In particular, the Customer declares that he/she has read on the Site the maximum number of persons authorized per accommodation, and acknowledges that in the event of non-compliance, the Host reserves the right either to refuse the Customer access to the Accommodation, or to propose the reservation of additional accommodation, subject to availability. 4.3 In accordance with article L. 221-28-12 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer is reminded that he/she does not have the right of withdrawal provided for in article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code. The conditions of sale for the fare booked and accepted by the customer specify the terms and conditions for cancelling and/or modifying the booking. Reservations with prepayment for a non-refundable and non-cancellable fare cannot be modified and/or cancelled. In the case of reservations with prepayment, the Customer must pay the Hirer the full amount at the time of reservation. Failing this, the reservation will not be recorded and the Hirer will be free to offer the room or suite concerned to another Customer, without being liable for any reimbursement or compensation whatsoever. Should the Customer fail to show up on the first day of the reservation, the Customer’s reservation will be cancelled in its entirety and the Hirer will release the reserved accommodation services for sale:
– If the no-show reservation is a non-cancellable reservation, the Accommodation Provider will retain, as a deposit, the full amount paid by the Customer at the time of booking; – If the no-show reservation is a cancellable reservation guaranteed by credit card, the Accommodation Provider will debit the credit card provided at the time of booking for the amount of the first night booked, including tax. Additional nights (beyond the first night) will be cancelled free of charge. In the event that a quotation is issued, the cancellation and/or modification terms are stipulated in the quotation. 4.4 L’Hébergeur offers gift vouchers of various values to friends and family, to be used towards the services offered at VILLA MONTGOMMERY. The value of the gift voucher may under no circumstances be exchanged for cash. In the event that the value of the service exceeds the value of the gift voucher, it must be supplemented by the customer by another means of payment. Gift vouchers are valid for the period indicated at the time of purchase.

The Customer is informed that his payment card is subject to security checks by the Host’s partner, and may be refused for a number of reasons: stolen or blocked card, limit reached, input error, etc. Payment is debited during the stay, except in the case of reservations with prepayment. Services on quotation 5.2 In the case of professional or family events, services are provided at the price indicated in the quotation drawn up by the Hirer and accepted by the Customer. Any additional services provided at the Customer’s request, or which were not identified when the initial quote was drawn up, will be the subject of an additional quote.

The amount of the deposit is in any case stipulated in the quotation. Unless otherwise stipulated in the quotation, the outstanding balance, or failing this, full payment for the reservation, is to be paid by the Customer on the first day of the stay. L’Hébergeur accepts the following means of payment: Visa and Mastercard, American Express; bank transfer. Common provisions 5.3 Prices are quoted in Euros. Prices take into account the VAT applicable on the day of online booking or quotation, and any change in the applicable VAT rate will be automatically reflected in the prices indicated on the date of invoicing. The tourist tax, and any other taxes specific to the communes indicated for each price, must be paid directly to the Lodging House, except in the case of online prepayment, where this amount may be included. The Hirer may ask the Customer for a lump sum per person per day to cover extras, as part of a pre-authorization request. No discount will be granted by the Hoster for advance payment. Payment is deemed to have been made when the funds are made available to the Host, i.e. on the day when the amount is credited to one of the Host’s accounts. In accordance with current legislation, any delay in payment will result in the application of late payment penalties, payable without formality or prior formal notice, and running ipso jure from the day following the payment date shown on the invoice. The interest rate for late payment penalties is equal to the rate charged by the European Central Bank for its most recent refinancing operation, plus 10 percentage points. In addition to late payment penalties, the customer is liable to pay a fixed indemnity of 40 euros for collection costs.
6 – PARA-HOTEL SERVICES
6.1 The Host agrees to provide the Customer with the room or suite reserved, fully equipped and furnished, so as to enable the Customer to be accommodated in optimum conditions of comfort. The Customer declares that he is aware of the room or suite in which he will be staying, through the photographs and descriptions published on the Site. The Hirer is naturally at the Customer’s disposal to provide any additional information prior to booking. The rental includes the provision of the following para-hotel services: – Customer welcome – Breakfast – Daily cleaning – Provision of household linen – Optional services depending on the Customer’s reservation – Free access to the VILLA MONTGOMMERY’s wellness area, upon prior reservation, subject to availability and acceptance of the area’s internal regulations.

Unless otherwise specified, optional services must be paid for at the same time as the service is provided, or at the end of the stay. In the event of a health crisis or any other exceptional circumstance, if measures restricting access or even prohibiting the use of certain areas open to the public were to be taken by the Government or any other competent authority, the Customer is hereby informed that the Hirer may not make certain services other than accommodation available (access to the restaurant, bar, wellness area, etc.) or may make these services only partially available, without the Hirer being held liable. The Host will make every effort to bring this information to the Customer’s attention on the Site and/or on any other medium, as soon as possible. The Customer will not be entitled to any reimbursement of the price paid or to any discount. 6.2 The Host takes particular care to provide the Customer with a room or suite, and its furnishings, in perfect condition. The Customer acknowledges that, in the absence of notification to the Hirer at the time of entering the premises, any damage and/or missing items found on departure may give rise to a claim for compensation from the Hirer, up to the amount of the cost of restoring the premises. In any event, any damage caused by the Customer or his/her guests during the stay must be systematically reported to the Hirer.
7 – STAY AT VILLA MONTGOMMERY
7.1 The stay is agreed for the duration defined at the time of reservation. The Customer may take possession of his/her room or suite at any time from 5 p.m. on the day of arrival, and must return it by 11 a.m. on the day of departure at the latest. The Customer is hereby informed that these times have been set to enable the Owner’s teams to prepare the accommodation in the best possible conditions. The Customer is invited to contact the Host for any requests for early arrival or late departure. The Host will make every effort to accommodate such requests, but is under no obligation to do so. In any event, any early arrival or late departure may be subject to the invoicing of an additional cost. 7.2 In order to facilitate and accelerate the Customer’s arrival and/or departure, the Hirer has set up an online check-in service enabling the Customer to digitally check-in before their stay, provided that their reservation is eligible for this service. The customer will receive, prior to the planned date of arrival at VILLA MONTGOMMERY, an invitation from the Hirer to take advantage of the online check-in service. In any event, the customer and his guests must present a valid form of identification at the time of check-in at VILLA MONTGOMMERY. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the reservation without refund. Foreign customers must complete an “individual police form”. The information contained in this form is governed by article R.611-42 of the French Code de l’entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d’asile. The customer may not bring third parties into the room without the express permission of the owner, who reserves the right to carry out any necessary checks. 7.3 Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the VILLA MONTGOMMERY, either in the accommodation or in the communal areas. The historical character of the place has led to this decision. 7.4 In order to respect the privacy and image rights of other VILLA MONTGOMMERY guests, the customer agrees not to take photographs of them and/or publish said photographs. 7.5 The customer accepts and undertakes to use the room or suite and the communal areas made available to him/her in a reasonable manner. Any behaviour contrary to the principles of safety and/or hygiene, good morals and/or public order may lead the Host to ask the customer to leave the VILLA MONTGOMMERY, without reimbursement. This applies in particular to noisy, improper or alcoholic behaviour, any lack of respect towards the staff of the VILLA MONTGOMMERY, verbal or physical violence, racist remarks or any form of harassment. Families are welcome at VILLA MONTGOMMERY. L’Hébergeur nevertheless draws the customer’s attention to the configuration of the premises, which is not specifically adapted to our young clientele (stairs, uneven ground). Children are the sole responsibility of their parents. Appropriate dress is also required in the common areas of the VILLA MONTGOMMERY. Except in the case of privatization of the VILLA MONTGOMMERY on the basis of an estimate, no party may be organized by the customer or his guests within the establishment. For safety reasons and out of respect for everyone, smoking is strictly forbidden on the premises of the VILLA MONTGOMMERY. In accordance with the provisions of the French Public Health Code, which sets out the conditions for the application of the ban on smoking in places designated for collective use, smoking in the VILLA MONTGOMMERY exposes the customer to a fine of the third class or to legal proceedings. 7.6 The VILLA MONTGOMMERY offers dedicated parking spaces for its customers’ vehicles. Any parking outside these reserved areas is strictly forbidden.
8 – FORCE MAJEURE
The Host and the Customer may not be held responsible for the non-execution of any of their obligations hereunder in the event of force majeure. The term “force majeure” refers to all events such as those generally recognized by French law and jurisprudence.
9 – APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
These GTS and the relationships they govern are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, the Host and the Customer will seek an amicable solution before taking any legal action. Should these attempts fail, any dispute concerning the formation, execution, cancellation or termination of an order, for whatever reason, will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Coutances Commercial Court. This jurisdiction clause applies even in the event of a warranty claim, summary proceedings, plurality of instances or parties, or incidental claim, and without any jurisdiction clauses that may exist on the Customer’s documents being able to call into question the application of the present clause. In the case of consumer customers, any disputes that cannot be resolved amicably will be referred to the competent courts under the conditions of ordinary law. Consumer customers are also informed that they may in any event have recourse free of charge to a mediation procedure. In accordance with the provisions of the French Consumer Code concerning the amicable settlement of disputes, the Host has joined the “Médiateur du Tourisme et du Voyage” (Tourism and Travel Mediator), whose contact details are as follows https://www.mtv.travel/saisir-le-mediateur/ After prior written application to the Host by the Consumer Customer, the Mediator may be contacted for any dispute relating to the Consumer Customer’s reservation for which no settlement has been reached. The Consumer Customer is free to decide whether or not to resort to mediation, and in the event of recourse to mediation, the Consumer Customer and the Host are free to accept or refuse the solution proposed by the mediator.
