By submitting the Reservation form, the Customer also confirms that he is aware of and accepts the General Terms and Conditions of Use of the Website and the Privacy Policy.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be kept in whole or in part, by any computer recording means, and printed.
VAROTEL may modify its General Terms and Conditions of Sale, knowing that each Reservation will be governed by the General Terms and Conditions of Sale in force at the time it was made by the Customer.
The Customer chooses the Services from among those offered on the Website according to his needs and at the rates expressly mentioned at the time of the Reservation.
The Customer makes his Reservation on the Website by filling in the Reservation form in electronic format and transmitting it electronically by following the instructions provided.

The Customer is solely responsible for the choice of Services and their adequacy to its needs, so that the responsibility of VAROTEL cannot be claimed in this regard.
The Reservation is deemed to be accepted by the Customer once it has been validated and paid for.
As long as the Reservation has not been definitively validated by the Customer, the Customer may check, modify and/or correct it. Upon confirmation of the Reservation by the Customer, VAROTEL will immediately acknowledge receipt of the Reservation by electronic means. VAROTEL will then confirm, within 48 working hours, its Reservation to the Customer by electronic means and the availability of the selected Services. In case it is not possible to make the Services available to the Customer, VAROTEL will cancel the Customer’s Reservation within this deadline and may propose alternative solutions (different dates or Services).

The Administration and Financial Department and CLICK AND PAY are the recipients of the data relating to the Customer’ s orders. If the data related to the order and payment of the Client’s Reservation is not transmitted the transaction cannot be completed and analysed.
If an order is not paid due to fraudulent use of a bank card or other means of payment the details relating to the order associated with this unpaid order will be recorded in a “payment incident” file, kept by the Administration and Financial Department. An irregular representation or anomaly may also be the subject of specific treatment.
The payment will be debited between 48 hours and 72 hours following the Reservation.
At the time of prepayment, the amount that is debited corresponds to the full price of the Services selected by the Customer (the price of the chosen programme, including accommodation and food as well as related taxes and any other possible additional services), excluding tourist tax and/or any other tax that may be due as a result of the Customer’s stay in the Hotel.
Given the nature of the services offered on the Website, the Customer, in accordance with Article L. 221-18-12° of the French Consumer Code, does not have the right of withdrawal provided for in Article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code.
The Reservation may not be changed and/or cancelled by the Customer. The sums paid at the time of Reservation will not be refunded.
In case of difficulty, the Customer is invited to contact directly VAROTEL’s Customer Service under the conditions provided for in Article 9 below, and whose contact details are also shown on the acknowledgement of receipt that he received after making his Reservation.
In case of interruption of the stay, VAROTEL will keep the full price of the Reservation. Similarly, in the event that the Customer fails to show up on the reserved days, he has no right to a refund.
In the event that it is not possible to make the Reserved Services available to the Customer, VAROTEL will cancel the Reservation and will inform the Customer within 48 hours of receiving it.
