She/he will be required to establish a Compensation and collaboration system with the company.

*: SAS Gîtes de France reserves the right to freely reclassify the nature of the proposed activity, and to withdraw it if needs be, since SAS Gîtes de France wishes to promote the community-oriented aspect of its service.

Furthermore, the Guide accepts to respect the commitments described in paragraph II.4.3 for each booking.

II.4.1 Booking Experiences

Only members may book experiences.

The Good Spot website offers a Booking Service to its Members, which amongst other things ensures the security of financial transactions as well as of the conditions of the service and also of last-minute cancellations. Nonetheless, SAS Gîtes de France’s responsibility cannot be engaged in any way should one of these contexts arise.

Each booking entitles the Guide to be compensated in the case of a last-minute cancellation made by an end user within the limitations established below.

Good Spot’s tools also ensure the End User that the Compensation will only be cashed by the Guide once the service will have been carried out.

A booking only becomes firm once the payment made on the website by the End User and the booking request have been accepted by the Guide (within 48 hours). Once it is firm, the full TCU apply to this booking.

It should be clearly understood that SAS Gîtes de France will take responsibility for billing its commission to the GUIDE, and that the GUIDE must transmit a receipt for the service to the member having booked this service.

In the context of bookings for more complex stays or activities, members are advised to reach out to the GUIDE in order to take stock of the detailed associated sales conditions.

II.4.2 Booking and Confirmation

The Guide proposes Experiences on the Medium, providing details about each one: subject, location, date and schedule, rates and any other conditions.

The End User then books one or more vacancies via the Good Spot Medium by making an online payment with a bank card or with any other means of payment accepted by the Good Spot platform.

The Good Spot platform’s reception of the payment constitutes the confirmation of the Booking (cf. “Booking Confirmation” below). Once the Booking is confirmed, the Guide and the End User are irrevocably committed by the application of the “Financial Dispositions” set out as follows.

The Guide and the End User are informed of the transaction’s irrevocable conclusion by an electronic mail message sent to the Guide and the End User.

Any cancellation subsequent to this Confirmation is contextualised by the dispositions outlined in the “Payment and cancellation charges” section of the present TCU. The Booking is nominative. The Guide and the End User must both correspond to the identities communicated to Good Spot. The Guide and the End User may consider that the cancellation may be charged to the person whose identity corresponds to that mentioned on the website.

The Guide is committed towards the End Users to carry out the entire service as described in the Experience that he/she has proposed for Booking and that she/he has accepted to share with them on the agreed date, at the agreed time and location.

II.4.3 The Guide’s obligations with regard to Bookings

According to the present TCU, the Guide has the following obligations:

To reply to all booking requests (pre-bookings) within 48 hours and to offer requesting members one or more dates on which to carry out the requested experience
To notify Good Spot and/or any member having booked one of his/her experiences about any modifications to the programme
To be present at the agreed time and place; failing that, or in the case of a cancellation, Good Spot reserves the right to record the cancellation information data on the database with regard to his/her profile and/or to publish this information on her/his online profile and/or suspend the Guide’s access to the Medium
To promptly inform End Users about any modifications to the booked experience
If one or more End Users have made a booking and the Guide decides to modify any of the booked experience’s initially published conditions, the Guide accepts to reach out as swiftly as possible to the End Users having Booked his/her Experience and to obtain the End Users’ agreement to this modification. If an End User rejects this modification, she/he has the right to cancel his/her Booking entirely without being billed for cancellation charges and without any compensation being made to the Guide.
To wait for the End User at the agreed location until one hour after the agreed time (this tolerance does not exempt the End User from being on time).
To respect the visited structures and places.
To have courteous behaviour at all times.
To comply with the charter of good conduct described in the annex to these TCU.
To present a bill in compliance with local legislation to the participants of his/her services

II.4.4 Payment and expenses under normal circumstances

Booking fees in the context of the booking of the experience:

The Good Spot platform deducts Booking fees (cf. “Booking Fees” below) on the website or any other medium.

These fees are billed to the End User during his/her Booking in order to cover the logistics and banking fees.

These fees amount to 3% of the total amount billed by the guide for the booked experience and are additional to the Guide’s Remuneration.

Commission

These fees are deducted from the transaction between the End User and the Guide for each booking of an experience. This commission is deducted on the payment of the Guide’s Remuneration.

These fees consist of an amount to which current VAT (20% in France) is added for a total that represents 15% of the rate for the booked experience.

These fees are made clear to the End User.

For example, in the case of the booking of an experience charged 50 € by the guide, the Good Spot commission of 15% of 50 €, in other words 7.50 € (of which 1.47 € VAT) will be deducted from the amount of the Remuneration made to the guide, meaning that the Guide will be paid 42.50 €.

Payment to the Guide

The End User disposes of a two-day period (two calendar days, thus 48 hours) to notify Good Spot of any anomalies regarding the experience provided by the guide, in order to leave one calendar day for this notification to be handled by the Good Spot team.

Past this period, Good Spot will consider that the experience was carried out satisfactorily and that the service was correctly provided. No further recourse will then be possible.

After this period, Good Spot will emit orders for payment to the Guide for the billed service within three calendar days. Good Spot cannot be held responsible for any further payment periods established by banks.

The Guide’s bank information

The Guide informs SAS Gîtes de France of the bank account information that figures on his/her “Relevé d’Identité Bancaire” (French bank account document) or “Relevé d’Identité Postale” (French postal account document) n order to enable transfers to her/his account. This information must only be provided by the member on the “Homepage/My Profile” page. Under no circumstances will SAS Gîtes de France pay amounts other than by means of a bank transfer, thus excluding all possibilities of cash or cheque payments. Under no circumstances will SAS Gîtes de France be made responsible towards the End User for a payment incident if, for whatever reason, the amount paid by the End User were to have to be reimbursed, particularly in the case of an opposition made to a bank card or its fraudulent use. The Guide accepts to restore to SAS Gîtes de France on request all received amounts that are deemed suspicious as a result of such a payment incident and of any justified claim requiring further investigations.

II.4.5 Payment and fees in the case of cancellation

A cancellation made subsequently to the confirmation of the booking by either the guide or the end user is subject to the following dispositions.

In the case of a cancellation made by the guide, the amount paid by the end user is fully reimbursed to him/her.

If the cancellation is made by the end user:

If the End User makes the cancellation more than one week (seven calendar days) before the agreed time of the experience, cancellation fees corresponding to the amount of the booking fees paid during the registration of the booking are to be paid to SAS Gîtes de France. Thus the End User will be reimbursed for the amount paid minus the amount of this cancellation fee.

If the End User makes the cancellation between one week and 48 hours before the agreed time of the experience, cancellation fees corresponding to the amount of the booking fees paid during the registration of the booking are to be paid to SAS Gîtes de France, and the Guide receives compensation in the shape of 50% of the reimbursable amount minus the commission payable to SAS Gîtes de France. Thus the End User shall be reimbursed for the balance, that is to say for the amount paid minus the amount corresponding to cancellation fees and to the Guide’s compensation (including SAS Gîtes de France’s commission).

If the End User makes a cancellation less than 48 hours before the agreed time of the experience, if the End User makes a cancellation after the agreed time, or if he/she is not present at the agreed location within a period of 30 minutes after the agreed time, the Guide will receive compensation corresponding to 100% of the reimbursement and booking fees will be payable to Good Spot. Thus the End User will not receive any reimbursement.

If the cancellation is made before the experience and by the End User, the slot(s) cancelled by the End User are made available to other Members who may book them online, and are therefore subject to the conditions of the present TCU.

II.4.6 Response in the case of a complaint or an incident

If an End User makes a complaint concerning an experience, or in the case of any kind of incident concerning the nature or execution of an experience proposed by a Guide, Good Spot reserves the right to place the Guide’s remuneration in escrow during the time required to undertake verifications.

II.4.7 “Satisfied or your money back” guarantee

In order to ensure a satisfactory and reliable service, we offer a “satisfied or your money back” guarantee to our customers. If a mishap occurs, or if you are not fully satisfied with your Good Spot activity, and wish to make use of this guarantee, you must observe the following procedure: reach out to the Good Spot platform by means of the online form or by email to the following address contact@good-spot.com[VB1] . This procedure must take place 48 hours (or two working days) at the latest after the agreed date of the booked activity. Past this period, Good Spot will not be able to take into account your request for reimbursement. Your claim must be fully detailed so that the team may analyse the situation, reach out to the guide and carry out any necessary verifications. The team commits to reply to the End User within one week (five working days) at the latest after the written claim for reimbursement.

II.5 Communications amongst members

The Good Spot platform provides members with communication and exchange tools. These tools, such as the internal messaging service, can be subject to storage or formatting constraints. Neither Good Spot nor SAS Gîtes de France may be held responsible for this.

Furthermore, the Good Spot website and/or SAS Gîtes de France reserve the right to moderate these exchanges in order to ensure that they respect the TCU. In particular, SAS Gîtes de France reserves the right to withdraw members’ contact information when it is shared outside the normal booking procedure, or any comment that is abusive or contrary to regulations.

II.6 Financial and tax dispositions

The amounts received by SAS Gîtes de France via the Good Spot platform, not taking into account booking fees and commissions, are deposited in a holding account. The deposited amounts are affected to the payment of the Guides. Payment orders submitted by Members in accordance with the present TCU are irrevocable and will be executed by SAS Gîtes de France’s bank. By express agreement, Members, End Users or Guides accept that the amounts received do not give rise to interests. The End User and the Guide accept to respond to any requests made by SAS Gîtes de France and/or by its bank and, in more general terms, by any competent administrative or legal authority with regards to the prevention of money laundering; more particularly, they accept to submit any justifications of their address or identity. Failing an immediate response to such requests, the End User and the Guide accept in advance that SAS Gîtes de France will unilaterally take any steps that is sees fit, particularly concerning the freezing of paid amounts and/or the suspension of the services used by the End User or offered by the Guide. No payment may be made to the Guide on an account that has not been opened in his/her name or that has not been indicated on the Good Spot platform’s media.

Guides are also clearly notified that they are solely responsible for their accordance with local tax rules and regulations, particularly concerning taxes that apply to their activity (e.g. VAT). SAS Gîtes de France takes responsibility for billing VAT on the fees deducted when this tax is due in France or within the European Union if the EU VAT number is not communicated. It is clearly stated that international or EU Guides with EU VAT will be responsible for declaring the VAT that is applicable in their country.

Each Guide accepts to declare the commissions received from SAS Gîtes de France via the Good Spot platform according to the nature of his/her activity, so that she/he is in accordance with his/her country’s tax dispositions.

III. Insurance

The Guide accepts to be insured in accordance with current legislation and to verify the validity of his/her insurance and the obligation to be insured prior to the experience. She/he also accepts to be in possession of all the documents required for the satisfactory execution of the experience. (driving licence, authorisation from the local authorities if the site is protected, sporting federation licence, diploma, boating licence, etc.)

The Guide must specifically ensure that his insurance enables him/her to transport/guide End Users and that her/his insurance covers all the transported/guided persons as well as the eventual consequences arising from an incident/accident that may occur during the experience.

As concerns sports activities, and whenever necessary, the Guide must certify that he/she has taken out all required insurance, as well as being in possession of all necessary State-approved diplomas.

The End User and the Guide are notified of the fact that insurers may refuse to cover damages that may arise during an experience from which the Guide may have made a benefit or may have been in a situation deemed as a professional activity. He/she would thus have to cover the financial consequences of the absence of cover for an eventual accident on the part of her/his insurance contract, without bringing into play SAS Gîtes de France’s liability.

The present clause exonerates SAS Gîtes de France’s liability with regard to the GUIDE and END USER.

The End User accepts to notify the Guide about any health issues that he/she may have.

SAS Gîtes de France reserves the right to immediately suspend the Member account and the associated amounts, and to notify the necessary authorities about any activity that is contrary to Good Spot’s TCU.

IV- Responsibility

SAS Gîtes de France declines responsibility for the content submitted by Members to the Good Spot platform. This is particularly the case for the “Agenda” that covers information concerning public or private events and information provided by Members. Nonetheless, as soon as SAS Gîtes de France is notified that a given content on the Good Spot website may affect the rights of third parties, the latter will do all that is in its power to remove forthwith the contentious content from the Website.

Whether they are End Users or Guides, all members act under their sole and entire responsibility. Good Spot is an exchange service and in no way ensures the quality, veracity and risks incurred by the proposed experiences. In this sense the execution of the experience itself cannot bring into play SAS Gîtes de France’s liability under any circumstance, given that the service provided is an exchange service. SAS Gîtes de France’s liability cannot be brought into play in the case of an accident that may have arisen due to causes such as: the Guide communicating erroneous information concerning the experience and its details; the cancellation of the experience by the Guide or the End User; fraudulent behaviour or wrongdoing committed by a guide or an End User before, during or after the experience; non-compliance with appropriate precautions (particularly regarding the use of equipment or vehicles); non-compliance with local legislation.

SAS Gîtes de France does not ensure the guaranteed payment of the Guide in any of these cases. It strives to ensure the availability of the website and its service 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Nonetheless, access to the website or to its service may be interrupted in the scope of maintenance activity, updating hard- or software, urgent website maintenance, or as a result of occurrences beyond the control of SAS Gîtes de France (such as the failure of telecommunications equipment). SAS Gîtes de France accepts to take all reasonable steps to limit the scope of these disruptions if this is in its power. Members acknowledge and accept that SAS Gîtes de France will not assume responsibility towards them for any unavailability, suspension or disruption of the website or its service, and that it cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect inconvenience of any kind that may arise from this. In any case, and without affecting the aspects mentioned above and in other clauses concerning the absence of SAS Gîtes de France’s liability, any cause of liability that may be upheld against SAS Gîtes de France will only give rise to the payment of compensation and interests whose amounts will be limited to the amounts paid in as bank fees and commissions.

Guides have sole responsibility for the prices established in the experience advertisements.

Guides accept to provide any security equipment that may be necessary for the execution of their experiences, to ensure that the End Users fully understand its nature and use, and to ensure that it is correctly maintained.

Notwithstanding, SAS Gîtes de France accepts to do all that is within its power to ensure satisfactory quality of all the experiences offered on its media.
