4. PRICE AND PAYMENT

4.1 PRICE

The prices related to the reservation of the Services are indicated before, during and after the reservation.

For Accommodation Services, the prices shown are per room for the number of people and date selected.

When confirming the reservation of a Service, the total price is indicated to the Customer in the amount with taxes included in the business currency of the Establishment (which in some cases may be different from the local currency of the Establishment) and is valid only for the period indicated on the Site.

If the payment of the total price of the booked Service is made at the Establishment in a currency other than that confirmed on the reservation, the currency exchange costs are the responsibility of the Customer. Note that if a conversion of the currency confirmed on the reservation into another currency appears on the Site, it is given only for informational purposes and is not contractual, especially given the possible change of exchange rates between the reservation date and the dates of stay at the Establishment.

Unless otherwise stated on the Site, the options (for example, breakfast, half-board, full-board etc.) that are not offered during the reservation of the Service are not included in the price.

The tourist tax, presented during the reservation process of the Service, is to be paid directly on location at the Establishment, except in the event of online pre-payment prior to the stay, where the amount can be included.

The prices take account of the VAT applicable on the day of the reservation and any change of the applicable VAT rate will be automatically reflected in the price indicated on the billing date.

Any modification or introduction of new legal or regulatory fees imposed by the competent authorities will automatically be reflected in the price indicated on the billing date.

Finally, some promotional offers are available only on the Site and sold exclusively on the internet, and in no case are available at the reception of the Establishment.

4.2 PAYMENT

The Customer provides his/her payment information (i) to pre-pay the reservation before the stay, (ii) as a guarantee of the reservation, or (iii) as a result of the online check-out procedure proposed as part of the Welcome Service as described in paragraph 4.3 below, indicating directly, in the area provided for such a purpose (secure entry by SSL encryption) when it is a credit card: the credit card number, without spaces between the figures, its date of validity (it is noted that the bank card used must be valid at the time of stay) and the security code as part of a pre-payment on the payment platforms mentioned below.

Olivia 1845 Guest House has chosen OGONE/Ingenico Payment Services (i.e. Payment Service Provider)/CyberSource/Adyen/Stripe/Banque Casino/Silkpay/ShareGroop/AsiaPay/First Data to secure online payments by bank card. The credit card of the Customer is examined for its validity by these partners and can be refused for several reasons: card stolen or blocked, limit reached, input error, etc. In the event of any problem, the Customer will have to approach his/her bank and the Establishment or any other entity to confirm his/her reservation of the Service and payment method.

The online payment methods (cards, wallet, etc.) available and mentioned on the payment page of the Site may be Visa and Mastercard, American Express, JCC, Diners, China UnionPay, Post Finance, ELO, Bancontact, Sofort, iDeal, Przelewy24, PayPal, Alipay, WeChat, ShareGroop, and Banque Casino cards. This list is subject to change.

In the event of payment to the Establishment or any other entity, each Establishment or any other entity may accept different means of payment, but the Customer must present the credit card to the Establishment that they used to guarantee the reservation or make the pre-payment. The Establishment may also ask the Customer to present an identification document for the purpose of credit card fraud prevention.

If the Customer has not pre-paid for his/her stay online, the Establishment may, upon arrival, ask the Customer for a deposit or an authorisation to debit the credit card to guarantee payment of the sums corresponding to the services consumed on-site.

Members of the Olivia 1845 Guest House loyalty programme may use their points to book all or part of an eligible Olivia 1845 Guest House Service on the Site according to the conditions described in the loyalty programme.

In the event of a 'No-show' for the reservation of an Accommodation Service (namely, a reservation not cancelled by the Customer who does not appear) guaranteed by credit card, the Establishment will charge the Customer, as a lump sum, the cost of the first night on the credit card that has been given as a guarantee for the reservation and any additional nights of the reservation will be cancelled free of charge, unless otherwise indicated in the Special Conditions.

At the time of pre-payment, the amount that is debited when reserving the Service includes the total amount indicated at the time of reservation (including all applicable taxes) and, if applicable, the price of the options selected by the Customer, as described in Article 4.1 above.

4.3 WELCOME SERVICE (ONLINE CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT)

To use the Welcome Service, the Customer must fully comply with the provisions of this article.

To facilitate and accelerate the departure of the Customer from the Establishment, Olivia 1845 Guest House has set up the Welcome Service, a procedure to digitise the check-in and/or check-out process prior to the stay, provided that his/her reservation is eligible for this service.

The Customer will receive a response from the Establishment regarding the possibility of benefitting from this Service within 2 days of request.

In some cases, online check-in can only be performed if the check-out is also performed online. In this case, the Customer remains free to refuse the online check-out (also called 'fast check-out'), which will cancel the check-in request made online and, more generally, the Welcome Service.

In the case where online check-out is not mandatory, the Customer can check-in online and check-out at the Establishment.

The online check-out results in an authorisation request (also called 'pre-authorisation ') from the Customer's bank. This procedure consists of a guarantee for an estimated cost of the stay and gives an authorisation of payment to the Establishment on the basis of the actual expenses of the Customer up to the amount authorised. Only the actual sum of the invoice will be debited by the Establishment upon the departure of the Customer at the end of the stay, without requiring the physical presence of or new validation from said Customer.

The sum of the authorisation request includes the sum of the reservation (or the amount remaining to be paid in the event of partial pre-payment when making the reservation) and a lump sum payment to cover any on-site consumption or expenses of the Customer (breakfast, if not included in the price, restaurant, bar, tourist tax, where applicable, etc.). This sum is determined by the Establishment according to the number of people and the number of nights booked.

        For example: 2 nights at 130 euros + 40 euros estimated for extras = request for authorisation of 300 euros.

The authorisation request is not an immediate debit but corresponds to a reserve for future payment, authorised by the bank of the Customer, which temporarily reduces the limit of the bank card used to guarantee the possibility of the subsequent debit. In some cases, however, the authorisation request may appear as a pending debit on the bank account associated with the card used.

When the authorisation request has been activated and confirmed by the bank, at the end of the stay, the Establishment sends a debit request to the Customer's bank corresponding to the sum of the invoice:

• if the Invoice is less than the sum of the authorisation request, the actual debit from the card will be equal to the amount actually owed by the Customer. The limit of the card will then be readjusted (released) from the Customer's account in view of this difference (within a time frame that varies by bank);

For example: Request for authorisation of 300 euros, final invoice of 260 euros = debit of 260 euros and cancellation of the authorisation request for the remaining 40 euros.

• if the invoice is greater than the sum of the authorisation request, then it will be used in its entirety by the Establishment. The remainder of the expenses will then be further debited from the same card. So, two debits are made from the Customer's account. One is the sum of the authorisation request and the other is the additional charge. However, it is advisable that the Customer go back to reception to settle the sum of the authorisation request or pay on the spot.

For example: Request for authorisation of 300 euros, final invoice of 320 euros = debit of 300 euros + debit of 20 euros.

Some Establishments may use a different currency for the invoice than used for the authorisation request. In this case, the amount actually debited may also differ from the sum of the authorisation request, given the possible exchange rate difference between the date of the authorisation request and the invoice date.

In rare cases, the authorisation request may result in a debit by the bank of the Customer even before the actual debit is effective. In this case, the card will not be debited twice. The balance, if owed to the Customer, will be automatically re-credited by the bank to the Customer.

If the Customer, upon the suggestion of the Establishment, wishes to prepay for the entire stay upon arrival, any additional expenses incurred at the Establishment cannot be added to the room account and will be paid directly to the hotel at the time of consumption.

If the reservation is cancelled after the authorisation request has been made, a request to cancel the authorisation request is automatically sent to the bank of the cardholder. In rare cases, this cancellation may appear as a refund.

Please note that the release of the pre-authorised amount (or refund) usually takes twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours, but it can take up to seven (7) business days or more depending on the cardholder's bank.

To activate an authorisation request, the Customer is invited to provide his/her credit card information as part of the subscription to the Service. The Customer is informed in advance of the features of the authorisation request, and the authorisation request is performed only with the Customer's agreement. The credit card information is only kept by Olivia 1845 Guest House's payment service provider as part of a strict security policy for banking information.

If the Customer has provided his/her credit card details as part of a guaranteed reservation:

• the Customer is invited to use the same card to perform his/her authorisation request and in such a case, the Customer simply gives his/her approval for the operation and enters his/her security code.

• the Customer remains free to choose another bank card for the authorisation request and, in this case, the Customer is invited to re-enter the information of the new card selected.

In the event that the Customer does not make a guaranteed reservation but makes an authorisation request which is confirmed, then, by its nature, this reservation becomes a reservation guaranteed by the card used for the authorisation request.

In the event of a bank refusal of the authorisation request, or a technical interruption that did not allow the authorisation request to be performed, the reservation remains in the initial state (reservation guaranteed by the card chosen at the time of reservation or a non-guaranteed reservation).

When the Customer's bank uses the '3D Secure' security system, an SMS may be sent by the bank to the Customer informing them of a debit on their account. This will in no case be an immediate debit.

5. CANCELLATION OR MODIFICATION OF A SERVICE RESERVATION

For Accommodation Services (the reservation of rooms at an Establishment or other types of accommodation), it is noted that the Customer does not have the right of withdrawal provided for in Article L. 221-18 of the Consumer Code, in accordance with Article L. 221-28 paragraph 12 of the Consumer Code, which excludes this right for contracts concerning the provision of accommodation services to be provided at a specified date or period.

For each reservation of a Service, the Special Conditions specify the conditions to cancel and/or modify the reservation.

Reservations with prepayment will not be subject to any changes and/or cancellations. The deposit (money paid in advance) will not be reimbursed. This is noted in the Special Conditions.

When the Special Conditions allow:

• the cancellation of the reservation of a Service can be made directly on the Site in the 'Consult or cancel your reservation' section;

• the modification of the reservation of a Service can be done directly with the Establishment, whose contact information, including telephone number, is specified on the reservation confirmation e-mail.

In the event of an interruption of a Service by the Customer, the entire agreed-upon price will be charged. No refund will be granted in the event of a reservation with pre-payment prior to the stay.

In the case of an Accommodation Service, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the Special Conditions, the Customer must leave the room of the Establishment before the time indicated by the Establishment, generally 12 noon on the last day of the reservation. Otherwise, the Customer will be charged for an additional night.

In this respect, it is specifically noted that partners are responsible for the promotion of the offers published on their own websites.

8. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither of the Parties can be held liable to the other party in the event of the non-fulfilment of its obligations resulting from a force majeure event. It is expressly agreed that a force majeure event suspends the performance of the reciprocal obligations of the Parties and that each Party bears the burden of the costs arising therefrom.

If a force majeure event lasts more than thirty (30) days after its occurrence, these General Terms and Conditions may be terminated by any of the Parties without any of them being able to claim damages.

In the case of a force majeure event or another exceptional event that prevents the performance of the Service and, in particular, making the room of the Establishment available to the Customer, the Establishment may reserve the option of providing accommodation to the Customer, in whole or in part, at an Establishment in the equivalent category or perform a Service of the same nature, subject to the prior agreement of the Customer.

10. PRIVACY AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

When the Customer uses the Site, in particular when making a reservation, Olivia 1845 Guest House. and Olivia 1845 Guest House group entities process personal data as described in the 'Personal Data Protection Charter'.

Thus, the information collected as part of the Customer’s reservation is intended for Olivia 1845 Guest House , its entities, its partners, its service providers (in particular online payment service providers) and the Establishments for the purpose of executing the reservation or taking pre-contractual measures. Once the guarantees provided for by the applicable regulations have been put in place, the Customer’sdata may be transferred from Europe to countries that do not ensure, from the European Union's point of view, an equivalent level of data protection.

In particular, in order to secure payment transactions, Olivia 1845 Guest House group entities process personal data to determine the level of fraud risk associated with each transaction. On this occasion, Olivia 1845 Guest House and the Establishments may use the Olivia 1845 Guest House group risk prevention service provider to refine their analysis. Depending on the results of the investigations carried out, Olivia 1845 Guest House group may take security measures, in particular requesting the Customer to use a different reservation channel or an alternative payment method. These measures will have the effect of suspending the execution of the reservation or, if the result of the analysis does not guarantee the safety of the order, of cancelling it. Fraudulent use of a means of payment leading to payment default may result in the Customer being entered in the Olivia 1845 Guest House group incident file, which may lead Olivia 1845 Guest House to block future payments or carry out additional checks.

The Customer may at any time exercise his rights under the regulations on the protection of personal data. All the information required for this purpose is set out in the 'Personal Data Protection Charter'.
