RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRAVELLERS 4.1 RULES AND POLICIES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT Travellers are required to comply with the establishment's rules and policies during their stay. ⇒ PARTIES, PETS AND SMOKING The property as a whole is destined for family use. Parties are not permitted and pets are not allowed. Please do not cause disturbance between 10pm and 8 am, and refrain from displacing furniture inside the house. The entire house is a non-smoking space, but you may use the outdoor areas for smoking. Ashtrays are provided in the garden, which should be emptied into the rubbish bin. No cigarette butts are to be thrown into the garden or the countryside, for ecological reasons and to prevent fires in a region affected by the risk of forest fires. It is forbidden to light the fireplace in the living room and to light a fire in the summer kitchen. Only the plancha (gas flat-top grill) must be used. ⇒ ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE Should any breakage, damage or deterioration occur, we ask you to inform us of this during your stay, even if no damage appears apparent. In the event of loss or damage to items in the accommodation, the amount of the deposit may be reduced by the cost of repairing or replacing them, or the insurance company may be liable. ⇒ RISKS AND PRECAUTIONS La Paradisse is an ancient property with particular characteristics which is rented out in its authentic state. Despite the renovations undertaken and maximised security, residual risks can always remain. We draw your attention to the wall leading up to the main entrance door, the wrought iron barrier in front of the raised area containing the olive trees and the guardrail which separates the pool area from the little street passing in front of the house. These guardrails and the aforementioned wall are conceived to retain someone from losing their balance, but they are not designed to safeguard children who may choose to climb on top or through them. Inside the house, the old stairwells are steep and contain steps which are smaller than the standardised norms we are commonly used to these days. Parental responsibility for supervising children is paramount at all times. ⇒ CHILD SAFETY We do our very best to ensure that our holiday home is as welcoming and as suitable as possible for children. If you notice anything that needs to be adapted on the property, please contact us so that we can remedy the issue. The safety and supervision of children remain the responsibility of parents and/or custodians. Children are not allowed to use the pool without adult supervision, regardless of their age or swimming ability. We have fitted the pool with an Immerstar audible alarm (compliant with French standard NFP 90-307-1:2009), which operates with a key. It is imperative that adults keep this key out of the reach of children, so that children do not have the opportunity to deactivate the alarm without the adults’ knowledge. Under no circumstances should the key be left in the lock of the appliance, as turning it will deactivate the alarm. Do not step on the appliance. ⇒ GENERAL SECURITY, SHUTTERS AND LOCKS Although we have taken the necessary steps to make our accommodation safe for tenants, you also have a part to play in ensuring the safety of your stay. When you are away from the house and during the night, it is your responsibility to ensure that all ground floor shutters, as well as all doors and windows, are closed and locked properly, to dissuade intruders and avoid damage caused by wind or rain. ⇒ ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING A double garage is available. La Paradisse is equipped with a Plexo Green’Up Access electric vehicle charging socket. Please bring your portable recharging device/unit, in order to allow the connection of a domestic socket 16/20A to a T2 type socket. The surplus of electricity consumed by electric vehicle charging will be billed separately, according to the daily consumption rate used during your stay, figuring on our EDF record. It is forbidden to use the regular electric sockets to charge an electric or hybrid car, as this carries the risk of an electrical circuit overload and is thus a fire hazard. ⇒ POOL CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE For hygienic reasons and to preserve the pool’s liner, pool users must use the outdoor shower before entering the pool. Only sun creams and lotions can be used while swimming. The use of tanning oils before swimming is prohibited because such products leave permanent marks on the water line of the pool liner. In such a case, the users will be fully liable for the cost of the replacement of the stained liner. ⇒ POOL TOWELS The hand, foot and bath towels provided with your rental service are uniquely for use indoors: - You can either bring your own towels for the swimming pool. - Or you can hire our cosy, quick-drying pool foutas (100% organic cotton: one side woven cotton and one side terry towelling; 290 gr/m2; 90 x 200 cm) for 10 € / person. For wet swimwear or towels after a day at the pool, we have two drying racks (in the garage) for effective drying in the sun. The tumble dryer is for freshly washed clothes only. ⇒ GARDEN FURNITURE AND PLANCHA In windy and rainy weather, we ask you to store parasols and deckchairs, as well as cushions in the garage, to avoid accidents and damage. We are in a region where the risk of fire must be avoided. It is therefore forbidden to light the fireplace in the living room or to light a fire in the summer kitchen. Only the plancha should be used for barbecues. It is the tenant's responsibility to clean the plancha completely; an instruction leaflet and the necessary equipment are provided. Failure to do so will result in €100 being deducted from the deposit. ⇒ PRIVATE SEWAGE FACILITY Only toilet paper is allowed the WCs. This is essential for the proper functioning of our private sewage facility. Wet wipes, as well as feminine and infant hygiene articles, must be placed in the waste bin provided. ⇒ WASTE DISPOSAL The rubbish bins and related explanations on waste sorting are located in the garage. To avoid attracting insects and rodents, it is imperative that you empty the bins regularly, especially at your departure. ⇒ PREPARATIONS BEFORE YOU LEAVE Out of respect for the housekeeping team, we ask that when you leave : - The crockery is placed in the cupboards as it was when you arrived. - Kitchen surfaces and all tables are wiped clean - Cupboards, bins and fridges are emptied - Ashtrays are emptied - Work surfaces and tables are cleaned - The sanitary facilities are in good condition - Household appliances are in working order - Items are stored where they were when you arrived -All bins must be emptied. Failure to do so will result in additional cleaning work, which will be deducted from the deposit according to the extra time spent. 4.2 CLEANLINESS AND UPKEEP OF ACCOMMODATION Travellers are responsible for the cleanliness and upkeep of the accommodation during their stay. Any damage caused to the property will be charged to the traveller. 4.3 SECURITY OF PERSONAL BELONGINGS Travellers are responsible for the security of their personal belongings. The establishment declines all responsibility in the event of loss, theft or damage. 5.
