Payment and charges
Charges:
* Tourist tax: The tourist tax is a compulsory local tax (per night and per person over the age of 18) that the owner transfers to the Trésor Public on behalf of the community of Forcalquier.
* Departmental tax: The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departmental council of June 21, 2019 voted in favor of the introduction of the departmental tax additional to the tourist tax. This additional tax is added to the current tourist tax rates. It will be implemented in all the territories of the department from January 1, 2020.

At the end of the stay, the tenant must pay the owner the charges not included in the price (tourist tax).
Their amount is established on the basis of calculation mentioned on this contract.
The amount can be paid by bank transfer or cash  on site.

Payment:
The means of payment for the price of the service:
Online payment by bank card allows you to book your stay online and immediately confirm.

The customer communicates his bank details as a guarantee of the reservation except special conditions or rates, by credit or private bank card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club ... according to the possibilities offered by the establishment's reservation platform) by directly indicating, in the area provided for this purpose (secure entry by SSL encryption), the card number, without spaces between the digits, as well as its validity date (it is specified that the bank card used must be valid at time of consumption of the service) and the visual cryptogram.

In the event of a no show (reservation not cancelled - customer not present) of a reservation guaranteed by credit card, the establishment will charge the customer, as a lump sum, for the amount indicated in its general conditions and special conditions of sale.

The Gite le Cellier des Amis has chosen elloha.com/stripe.com to secure online payments by credit card. The validity of the customer's payment card is verified by stripe.com. There may be a refusal of the payment card for several reasons: stolen card, blocked card, ceiling reached, input error, etc. In the event of a problem, the customer must contact their bank on the one hand, the Cellier des Amis on the other hand to confirm their reservation and their method of payment. In the case of a rate subject to online prepayment, the amount paid in advance is debited at the time of booking.

Respect for privacy
The customer is informed, on each of the personal data collection forms, of the mandatory or optional nature of the responses by the presence of an asterisk. The information processed is intended for the Cellier des Amis, elloha.com, its entities, its partners, its service providers (and in particular to online payment providers).

In particular when paying online, the customer's bank details must be sent by the payment provider stripe.com to the bank of the establishment, for the execution of the reservation contract.

The client host is informed that his IP address is registered at the time of booking.

Force majeure
Force majeure means any event external to the parties that is both unpredictable and insurmountable which prevents either the client or the establishment from ensuring all or part of the obligations provided for in the contract. This would be considered as force majeure or 'fortuitous event' usually recognized by the jurisprudence of French Courts and Tribunals. Each party cannot be held responsible towards the other party in the event of non-fulfillment of its obligations resulting from an event of force majeure. 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.

No general or specific condition communicated by the client can be integrated into these general conditions. The documents forming the contractual commitments between the parties are, in descending order of priority, the reservation voucher or request (including the special conditions of the reserved price) and these general conditions. In case of contradiction between the reservation voucher and the general conditions, the provisions appearing on the reservation voucher will be the only applicable for the obligation in question.
