Effective date: March 1, 2019
1.1 The Terms of Use Vacationers constitute a legally binding contract between Kazay.net and the Vacationer. By visiting or using the kazay.net website or the platforms or systems of Ardenoy Consulting also through mobile applications (on cell phones, tablets and other devices, regardless of their interface) (collectively, the “Site”), you acknowledge that you accept the Terms and Conditions of Use and agree to be bound by them. Kazay.net’s activities in Europe are managed by the company Ardenoy Consulting, b32 Bourguignon, Bazin, 97139 Les Abymes, France (“Ardenoy Consulting“, “we”, “us”, “our”). The Ardenoy Consulting Group (as defined below) provides an online platform and various tools, services and features that allow property owners to list properties and vacationers to book those properties (together, the “Services”). The Services are provided via country-specific URLs through kazay.net. Booking payments made through the Site (the “Payment Services“) are handled by third party payment service providers and/or Ardenoy Consulting. For convenience (and not otherwise), when we use the term “Ardenoy Consulting Group” in these Terms and Conditions, we are referring to Ardenoy Consulting, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including Kazay.net.
1.2 These terms and conditions of use (the “Vacationer Terms of Use”), as well as our Privacy Policy below, govern the relationship between Kazay.net and any party viewing or using the Site or any content or service offered on the Site, in the capacity of a vacationer or potential vacationer (the “Vacationer” or “you”) and not in the capacity of property owner or manager. The term Vacationer means any person using the Site to obtain information about vacation rentals or to book a vacation rental, whether for personal or business purposes, with property owners or managers. Vacation rental reservations are subject to these Vacationer Terms and Conditions, while hotel reservations are subject to the Owner Solutions Terms and Conditions.
1.3 Any reservation or use made by a Vacationer through a Kazay.net site is governed by the terms and conditions of the Kazay.net site on which the reservation is made (and not necessarily those of the Kazay.net site on which the Vacation Rental was initially referenced). In case of any contradictions between the terms and conditions of the Ardenoy Consulting website on which you found the Vacation Rental and the terms and conditions of the Kazay.net website on which you made the reservation, the terms and conditions of the Kazay.net website on which you made the reservation will prevail. If you do not fully agree with the Terms and Conditions of Use Vacationers, you are not allowed to consult or use the Site.
1.4 Only persons with the legal capacity to enter into legally binding contracts are authorized by Kazay.net to register on the Site. Accordingly, the Services offered by the Site may only be used by persons 18 years of age or older.
1.5 Kazay.net may modify these Terms of Use from time to time for reasons such as technical developments, changes in business activity, the introduction, modification or discontinuation of products or tools, or when new legislation is introduced. You will be notified, with 15 days notice, of any changes to the Vacationer Terms of Service or of our decision to terminate them. We will notify you of such changes via your email address. Please visit this page periodically to review the most current version of the Vacationer Terms of Use.
1.6 Kazay.net may ask you to provide your personal information directly. For example, Kazay.net may ask you to provide your contact information, including your full name, phone number and email address, primarily in order to make your Vacation Rental reservation. For more information about this collection of personal data and your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. General Information
2.1 This Site is a platform for Vacationers to view vacation rental listings (“Vacation Rentals“) offered by others, including property owners, tenants or managers (hereinafter referred to, when taken respectively, as the “Owner” and, when taken collectively with a Vacationer, as the “Users“), or to obtain information about such Vacation Rentals. We may also offer other tools or services that allow Users to communicate and enter into rental agreements or other transactions with each other.
2.2 The Site is defined solely as a space allowing Users to exchange with each other. Rental contracts are concluded between the Renter and the Owner exclusively. Kazay.net is not and will not become a party to the contractual relationship between the Renter and the Owner. In addition, Kazay.net can in no way act as mediator between the Vacationer and the Owner in case of any dispute between them. You acknowledge and agree that the Vacationer and the Owner are responsible for fulfilling their obligations under such contracts, that Kazay.net is not a party to such contracts between the Owner and the Vacationer, does not act as an agent of the Owners and disclaims any liability arising from or related to such contracts. This will apply even if the Site facilitates the booking of a Vacation Rental or the use of other tools, services or products since Kazay.net is not a party to any rental or other contract between a Vacationer and Owner and the Owners are in no way service providers of Kazay.net. Kazay.net is not an organizer or retailer of package tours as defined by the Directive (EU) 2015/2302 on package travel.
2.3 The Owners can be either individual owners , acting on a consumer-to-consumer basis, or property managers acting on a professional-to-consumer basis. If you enter into a rental agreement with an individual landlord, please be aware that consumer law will not apply to your rental agreement with the Owners. The Owner is solely responsible for determining whether or not he or she is engaged in a professional activity, as well as any representations he or she may make to Vacationers regarding his or her status.
2.4 Vacationers agree that they are responsible for and agree to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to their use of the Site and any tools, products or services offered on the Site, as well as any transactions they conduct on the Site or associated with their use of the Site. Vacationers are informed that Owners are responsible for complying with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to their listing, their Vacation Rentals and the conduct of their rental activities, and they agree to comply with them. Please note that although Kazay.net is not a party to any rental transaction and disclaims any responsibility for compliance with any laws or regulations applicable to any Vacation Rental listed on the Site, there may be circumstances in which Kazay.net may be required to provide information regarding any Listing in order to comply with requests from governmental or regulatory agencies in the context of any investigation, litigation or administrative proceedings.
2.5 Service fees are charged by Kazay.net to the Vacationer who books a Vacation Rental online on the Site (hereinafter the “Service Fees”). The Service Fee covers the use of the Site and features such as 24/7 support, if any. The Service Fee is a percentage of the total rental amount (which total amount may include additional fees and a security deposit, charged by the Owner). The Holidaymaker acknowledges and expressly accepts that the right of withdrawal is excluded in accordance with article L.221-28, 12° of the French Consumer Code. Depending on the law applicable in the country of residence of the Vacationer and/or the Owner, VAT, tourist tax (as defined in paragraph 2.8) or any other equivalent applicable indirect taxes may be added to (or included in) the Service Fee. The Owner agrees not to encourage or advise the Vacationer to circumvent or avoid payment of the Service Fees charged by Kazay.net, and the Vacationer agrees not to circumvent or avoid payment of the Service Fees.
2.6 Kazay.net may be required to collect and remit taxes (including VAT, consumption taxes and other equivalent taxes) on the Service Fees. If applicable, Kazay.net will send the Vacationer an invoice indicating the amount of taxes charged on these Service Fees. If the Vacationer is entitled to an exemption from any indirect taxes, or their equivalent, on the Service Fee, it must provide Kazay.net with proof of such exemption.
2.7 If the Vacationer is a business traveler subject to VAT or an employee of a company that will reimburse the invoiced VAT, he must provide Kazay.net with a valid VAT number and its associated billing address so that Kazay.net applies a mechanism of auto-liquidation (“reverse charge”) of VAT, if applicable, regarding the Service Fees. If the Vacationer has a billing address in France, the reverse charge procedure will not be applicable and French VAT will apply.
2.8 Collection and Remittance of the Resort Tax (as defined below)… Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but such taxes may be collected and remitted based on a percentage of the rental amount set by the Owner, a fixed daily amount, an amount based on the number of people in the group occupying the Vacation Rental, or some variation of these amounts, and these taxes are sometimes referred to as the “transient tax”, “hotel tax”, “accommodation tax”, “municipal tax”, “lodging tax” or “tourism tax” (hereinafter the “Tourist Tax”). In some jurisdictions, such as France, only travelers 18 years of age and older are responsible for paying the “Taxe de séjour”. Other exceptions to the payment of the local tourist tax may apply (for example, in France, for holders of a seasonal employment contract employed in the municipality, persons benefiting from emergency accommodation or temporary rehousing, or persons occupying premises where the rent is less than an amount determined by the local municipal council), in which case the Vacationer may request a refund from the local authority in charge of collecting the local tourist tax. In some jurisdictions, when the law and/or regulations allow it, Kazay.net can directly collect and remit the tourist tax on behalf of the Owners. In this case, Owners will not have to take any action to collect this Tax from the Guests or to remit it to the local municipality. In jurisdictions where such a collection procedure will be implemented, the Owner hereby mandates and authorizes Kazay.net to collect on its behalf the tourist tax from the Guests and to make the necessary declarations to the local municipality, including the payment of said tax. In accordance with Article L2333-33 of the General Code of Local Authorities, this collection of the Tourist Tax by Kazay.net will be gradually extended to all reservations of Vacation Rentals located in all French municipalities that have established the collection and payment of a Tourist Tax.
2.9 The Site consists of Vacation Rental Ads provided by Owners and content provided by other parties. These contents are the responsibility of the Owner or the third party who created the contents. We cannot be held responsible for such content as our service is solely to provide you with access to such content and our role is simply to provide you with the means to communicate directly with the Owner to obtain information about a Vacation Rental and to book it directly with the Owner. Any reservations you make are made by you directly with the Owner, and your rental agreement will be solely between you and the Owner. This contract will govern your right to occupy and use the Vacation Rental and may contain obligations to pay additional fees and taxes. Kazay.net will not be a party to the rental agreement and Kazay.net has no responsibility to you for the provision of the rental by the Owner. We do not endorse, support or guarantee in any way the authenticity, accuracy or reliability of the information contained in the Ads on the Site, nor the various contents or opinions posted by third parties. In addition to the provisions of Article 10 below and in accordance with its status as host, Kazay.net will remove content or make access impossible if it becomes aware of its illegal nature, including if this illegal nature is notified.
3. Vacation rental ads and interaction with an Owner
3.1 Vacationers are informed that Owners are fully responsible for all information, including all images and text and other content, relating to the Vacation Rentals they offer (the “Listings”), as well as for updating them and verifying (where applicable) that they are correctly translated.
3.2 If a Vacationer is interested in a Vacation Rental, he or she may send a request for information (a “Request for Information“) to the Owner without registering on the Site, providing his or her name and any requested information. From time to time, we may send you email newsletters about our services. Vacationers have the choice of whether or not to receive our email communications and can unsubscribe to these newsletters at any time via the Communication Preference Center or by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the newsletter. Any changes to your Vacationer preferences may take a few moments to take effect. For more information about the collection and processing of your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
3.3 The Vacationer will receive a confirmation from Kazay.net once the Information Request is sent to the Owner.
3.4 The Owner can then communicate directly with the Vacationer regarding his or her Information Request, and the Vacationer and the Owner can also communicate with each other via the Site (and via other tools on the Kazay.net platform).
3.5 The online booking service, if authorized by the Owner, allows the Holidaymaker to make their booking online, which booking must be accepted or declined by the Owner within 24 hours. For online payments, the Holidaymaker whose booking has been confirmed by the Owner can pay for their booking through the credit card payment gateway via the third party payment provider and/or Ardenoy Consulting Payments. The online payment service is subject to the terms and conditions of the third party payment provider, or in the case of Ardenoy Consulting Payments, to the terms of the Resort Fee Collection Agreement, and the Vacationer acknowledges and agrees that (except for the obligations of Ardenoy Consulting Payments under the Resort Fee Collection Agreement) Kazay.net has no control over the service and is not responsible for it.
3.6 Communications between Vacationers and Owners through the Kazay.net platform must not include any email address or telephone number. Please note that any communication on the Site (or via the Kazay.net platform) is accessible to employees and representatives of Kazay.net, in order to meet its obligations as a host.
3.7 Kazay.net may also use third-party email servers from time to time to enable it to send Request for Information emails, determine if they have been received and analyze the use of the Request for Information feature provided by these third-party tracking systems. Our system does not retain messages indefinitely, but for a period of 3 years and therefore these messages may no longer be accessible after they are delivered to you.
Please print a copy of any messages that are important to you (e.g. payment receipts and reservation confirmations) for your records.
3.8 Only the Owner and the Vacationer are responsible for the content of their communications.
4. Positioning and display in Search Results
Kazay.net cannot guarantee that an Ad will appear in a specific order in the search results on the Site. The search order will automatically vary depending on the search filters used by the Vacationers, the Vacationer’s preferences, as well as the default property ranking which could be determined by the property’s characteristics, the quality of the experience, the service fees paid by the Vacationer. Property features are evaluated based on several criteria, such as Vacationer feedback, amenities offered, and the property’s location. Quality of experience is based on several criteria such as the accuracy of the listing schedule, the timeliness of the Owner’s response, the acceptance rate of bookings, the ability to book and pay online, the consistency of pricing, and the quality of the experience of the stay. The service fee paid by the Vacationer for bookings is also a factor in positioning the property relative to properties with similar offerings, based on the suitability criteria described above.
If the Owner has chosen the Subscription Listing option, the search results may also vary depending on the search criteria used by a particular Vacationer. Kazay.net reserves the right to automatically employ different search algorithms or use different methods to optimize the default ranking results and maximize the satisfaction of Vacationers and Internet users in general. We make no guarantee that Ads distributed on third party sites will appear or that they will appear in any particular ranking. Search results and their ranking could be displayed in a different order on the Kazay.net mobile application and on its Website. In order to optimize the search experience for both Owners and Renters and to improve the default ranking, Kazay.net reserves the right to conduct occasional tests that will be of limited duration but may change the way Ads are displayed as well as the search results.
