bed and breakfast rental agreements (hereinafter the ‘Rooms’) entered into by the owner of the establishment (hereinafter the ‘Property Owner’ and private users (hereinafter the ‘Guest(s)’).
No special condition may, without the formal written consent of the Property Owner, take precedence over these General Terms. In such a way, any contradictory terms put forward by the Guest shall not, in the absence of the express agreement of the Property Owner, be binding against the latter.
The Property Owner reserves the right to modify these General Terms at any time, while acknowledging that the modifications shall only be applicable to bookings placed after the aforementioned modifications have been made.

If any stipulation of these General Terms is declared null and void or unenforceable, whatever the legal basis, by a Court or any other administration or authority, such a ruling may not in any case affect the validity of the other terms.
Failure to exercise, at any time, a prerogative or right acknowledged in these terms, or failure to request the enforcement of any of the stipulations of these terms, may in no case be interpreted as either a modification to the contract, or as the express or tacit renunciation of the right to exercise the aforementioned prerogative in the future, or the right to request the full enforcement of the commitments agreed to in these terms.
