General Terms and Conditions of Sale
Article 1 – APPLICABLE LAW
Depending on the establishment concerned, this contract is subject to the status of Tourist Hotels or Tourist Residences. In all cases, the guest may not take advantage of the legal provisions applicable to residential leases, particularly regarding the maintenance of the premises.
Article 2 – BOOKINGS
Room and flat bookings in our establishment are only valid after acceptance of the guest’s booking by Château de Callac. The confirmation of the guest’s booking remains at the sole discretion of Château de Callac. To be firm, the booking must be guaranteed by a valid bank card issued by a reputable institution (you will be asked for the number of the bank card, its validity date and its cryptogram) or have been the subject of a prior credit agreement with Château de Callac or be followed by the payment of a deposit.
The above-mentioned deposits must correspond to one night for stays of less than 7 nights and to 30% of the total amount of the stay for stays of more than seven nights and for room rentals (partial or private). However, in the case of stays of more than 29 nights, the amount of the stay taken as a basis for calculation will be equivalent to one month. Multiple bookings (i.e. bookings for more than 5 rooms or flats made by the same entity) are subject to the special group booking conditions.
Article 3 – PAYMENT CONDITIONS
For single-room bookings, payment is required in advance. Optional and additional services are payable on site: a bank card imprint is made on arrival.
In the case of stays of more than 29 nights, the amount of the stay used as a basis for calculation will be equivalent to one month. In the event of an extension of the stay, the price for the new period is payable in advance. Early departure does not give rise to any refund and may result in a rate change. No discount is applied for
early payment.
In case of non-payment of the invoices by their due dates, Château de Callac will be entitled to a monthly interest on arrears of 1.5% without this clause affecting the due date of the debt. In cases where it has been agreed that the payment of a guest’s stay will be made by a third party, the guest will remain personally responsible for the payment in question.
Article 4 – BILLING
Invoices are issued in the name of the natural person or legal entity when it is responsible for the price of the accommodation, which must be justified by a letter from the legal entity, sent at the time of the booking or at the latest upon the arrival of the guest.
Article 5 – PRICES
Prices are quoted in euros. Except for prices stated exclusive of tax, all prices shown are inclusive of tax. Prices include the use of the room, studio or flat with all bills included (water, electricity, heating), except for the tourist tax, which is payable directly on arrival. Optional services are not included in the prices.
Article 6 – SECURITY DEPOSIT
To guarantee the proper performance of the contract, the guest must pay a deposit at the beginning of their stay.

In the event of an agreed extension of stay and the application of a new price, the new rate will apply from the date of the start of the extension. For stays for which an accommodation offer has been made, a new accommodation offer will be drawn up.
Early departure: In the event of an early departure, the applicable rate will correspond to the shortened duration. Any change in rates due to early departure will be applied retroactively to the guest’s account from their date of arrival.

Cancellations: all cancellations must be notified in writing to Château de Callac. The effective date of a written cancellation will be the date of its receipt at the establishment.

For a cancellation period of less than 3 days, a non-cancelled booking or a no-show on your part will be invoiced at the rate indicated on the booking.
For partial rentals or privatisations, any cancellation received before the 30 th day preceding the event and/or stays will not be subject to a cancellation fee. In case of cancellation between 29 and 19 days prior to the event, 15% of the total rental amount. In case of cancellation between 18 and 12 days prior to the event, 30% of the total rental amount. In case of cancellation between 11 and 9 days prior to the event, 50% of the total rental amount. In case of cancellation between 8 and 6 days before the event, 75% of the total rental amount.
