Terms of Use

Release date: November 2024

The methods, reasons, and guidelines for utilizing FranceRent. If you're unable to locate the information you seek, please contact us through email at [email protected] and we'll gladly assist you.

Please carefully review these terms and conditions before accessing, utilizing, or obtaining any materials, information, products, or services. By accessing the FranceRent website, tablet or mobile application, or any other FranceRent platform features (collectively referred to as "Our Website"), you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. You are not permitted to use Our Website if you do not fully accept these Terms. Throughout these Terms, "FranceRent" "we," "us," and "our" refer to FranceRent company, while "you" and "your" refer to you as the user of Our Website.

INCLUDED IN THESE TERMS ARE AN ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHTS TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE LEGAL PROCEEDING.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms for any reason and at any time by publishing an updated version on Our Website; such modifications will not impact rights and obligations that existed before these changes. By continuing to use Our Website after modified Terms are posted, you agree to be bound by the Terms current at the time of your usage. We recommend reviewing these Terms regularly for any changes. Should you disagree with any provision within these Terms or any future modifications to these Terms, or become unsatisfied with Our Website in any manner, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of Our Website immediately.

 

1. Our Products

Our Website operates as a travel search platform. The travel services and products accessible through Our Website, including flights, accommodations, rental cars, packages, and travel insurance (collectively referred to as "Travel Products"), are neither owned, provided, nor controlled by FranceRent. These Travel Products are made available or controlled by third-party providers (the "Travel Providers"), who operate either directly (such as airlines) or as agents (such as online travel agencies). All responsibility for the Travel Products lies with these Travel Providers. Your booking is subject to the Travel Providers' terms and privacy policies, which you must understand and accept. Additionally, you must agree to and understand the terms set by the actual service providers (airlines, hotels, tour operators, and similar providers) that will deliver your travel services. Any interactions you have with Travel Providers found through Our Website are undertaken at your own risk, and FranceRent accepts no liability should complications arise with your booking or during the course of your travel.

When a Travel Product or Travel Provider appears on Our Website, this appearance should not be interpreted as constituting any endorsement or recommendation by FranceRent of that Travel Product or Travel Provider, nor does it indicate any sponsorship of FranceRent by the Travel Provider, or suggest any partnership between the Travel Provider and FranceRent.

FranceRent displays content, including pricing information, that is provided by or obtained through Travel Providers. The accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of this content cannot be guaranteed by FranceRent. Given that FranceRent does not exercise control over the Travel Products and cannot verify content uploaded by Travel Providers, we are unable to ensure the accuracy of prices shown on Our Website. As prices are subject to frequent changes and may incur additional fees (such as payment charges, service fees, checked baggage costs, and local taxes), you should verify that the final booking price matches your expectations. Additionally, certain Travel Products might be offered in currencies different from your preset or selected currency for search result display. While we provide currency conversion information, this is intended solely for reference purposes and should not be considered definitive or real-time; actual exchange rates may differ, and your payment provider (such as your credit card company) may impose conversion fees and apply exchange rates from different dates.

 

2. Booking through FranceRent

When you complete a booking for Travel Products through Our Website, the contract is formed directly with the Travel Provider identified on the booking page, as Our Website serves solely as a user interface. Since FranceRent is not involved in creating Travel Product descriptions, determining prices and fees, or delivering the Travel Products you book, we bear no responsibility for your booking or the Travel Product itself. Should any issues or disputes arise regarding your booking and/or the Travel Product, you acknowledge and agree that these must be addressed and resolved directly with the relevant Travel Provider rather than with FranceRent.

 

3. Intellectual Property

We, along with our corporate affiliates, the Travel Providers, and other licensors, hold ownership over all text, images, software, trademarks, service marks, and other materials on Our Website, excluding User Content. You are permitted to copy or transmit this material only for your personal, non-commercial use. Any copies you make must retain all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices present on Our Website. Other product, service, or company designations that are non-FranceRent are owned by their respective third-party entities and may be mentioned on Our Website solely for identification purposes. For more comprehensive information regarding such designations and their registration status, you should contact the appropriate third party. Your use and access of Our Website does not confer any license or right to use the marks featured on Our Website.

6. Warranty Disclaimer

Our Website, along with all content and services provided on Our Website, are offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis. As our content is largely generated through automated processes, errors can and do occur. While we have numerous search results, we do not claim to be comprehensive or display all available providers and offers. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the lowest available price will always be shown. To the maximum extent permitted, FranceRent expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, security, and accuracy, as well as all warranties arising from usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance.

 

7. Limited Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we (including our officers, directors, employees, representatives, shareholders, affiliates, and providers) hereby expressly exclude any responsibility and liability for: (a) any loss or damage to your computer equipment or other property, or any viruses that may infect such devices, as a result of your access to Our Website or downloading any content from it; or (b) any injury, death, loss, claim, act of God, accident, delay, or any direct, special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including, without limitation, lost profits or savings), whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, that arise from or are in any way connected with: (i) your use of Our Website or our content; (ii) any failure or delay (including, without limitation, the use of or inability to use any component of this Website for reservations or booking); or (iii) the performance or non-performance by us or any Travel Provider, even if we have been made aware of the possibility of such damages to you or any other party. Some jurisdictions do not allow this limitation of liability, so the limitations above may not apply to you or may apply only partially.

 

8. Agree to Protect

Subject to these Terms, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and each of our officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from and against any claim, cause of action, liability, expense, loss, or demand, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: your breach of these Terms or the agreements made part of these Terms by reference; your breach of any applicable law; and your use of or access to Our Website or the Intellectual Property.

 

9. Arbitration

By accepting the Terms, you and the Company each agree to waive the right to a trial by jury and the ability to participate in a class action. ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND YOU RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICES, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR INTERACTION WITH THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY'S ADVERTISEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES, EMAIL AND MOBILE SMS (TEXT) MESSAGES THE COMPANY SENDS TO YOU, OR THE USE OR DISCLOSURE OF ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOU), THESE TERMS OF USE, AND THE PRIVACY POLICY (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") WILL BE SUBMITTED TO CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION IN THE FEDERAL JUDICIAL DISTRICT WHERE YOU RESIDE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE, IN ANY WAY, VIOLATED OR THREATENED TO VIOLATE ANY COMPANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT. CLAIMS INCLUDE THOSE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING INTENTIONAL TORT), FRAUD, AGENCY, YOUR OR THE COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE, STATUTORY OR REGULATORY PROVISIONS, OR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF LAW.

If you intend to pursue arbitration, you must first send a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the Company by certified mail. The Notice must be sent to [email protected]. The Notice shall describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, as well as the specific relief sought. If you and the Company cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may commence arbitration. All arbitrations required by these Terms will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration rules of France. The arbitrator's award is binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration brought under, or with respect to, Claims is to be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, private attorney general, or class proceeding.

For arbitration claims that you assert against the Company in accordance with this section (but not for any arbitration claim against you), the Company will pay all of your administrative, hearing, and arbitrator's fees and costs for the arbitration (but not the fees, expenses, and costs of your lawyers, experts, or witnesses) in excess of any filing fee you would have been required to pay to file the claim as a lawsuit in a state or federal court (whichever is greater) in the judicial district where you reside. Unless unlawful, the Company will pay its lawyers', experts', and witnesses' fees, expenses, and costs, and you will pay your own. The arbitrator may award money or equitable relief in favor of only the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. Similarly, an arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to that specific case; it cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself. To reduce the time and expense of the arbitration, the arbitrator will not provide a statement of reasons for their award unless requested to do so by all parties.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WILL NOT AGREE TO ACT AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN ANY LAWSUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY IN ANY COURT, OR IN ARBITRATION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION (CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION) WILL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES YOU OR THE COMPANY HAS RELATING, IN ANY WAY, TO THE SERVICES OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY.

You may not assign, delegate or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We maintain the right to assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without considering such assignment a modification to the Terms and without notifying you, provided that your rights under these Terms are not adversely affected.

Our failure to take action regarding your breach or anyone else's breach on any occasion does not waive our right to act concerning future or similar breaches. Should any provision of these Terms be deemed unenforceable or invalid by a court, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, while the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable. These Terms, including agreements incorporated by reference, constitute the complete agreement between us concerning your use of Our Website and supersede any previous understandings or agreements (whether oral or written) regarding your use of Our Website.

To the extent permitted by law, these Terms and the parties' compliance with them shall be governed by French law, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

In any such action, whether initiated by you or us, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all legal expenses incurred, including but not limited to both taxable and non-taxable costs, and reasonable attorney fees. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that any disputes, claims and causes of action arising from or related to Our Website and/or these Terms shall be resolved individually, without resort to class action proceedings.
