ARTICLE 7 – LIABILITY – FORCE MAJEURE
7.1 Failure to Complete the Reservation In all cases, Hôtel Clément shall not be held liable in the event of failure to complete the Reservation and/or failure to register it, particularly due to the Client not correctly completing the Reservation in accordance with the conditions set out in the General Terms and Conditions and as displayed on the Client’s desktop or mobile device during the online Reservation process.
7.2 Limitations of the Internet Network
Furthermore, by making a Reservation on the Website, the Client acknowledges and accepts the characteristics and limitations of the Internet network, particularly with regard to technical performance, response times for consulting, querying, or transferring information, risks of interruption, risks related to connection, the lack of protection of certain data against possible misappropriation, and the risks of contamination by possible viruses circulating on the network.
Hôtel Clément shall also not be held liable for malfunctions affecting the Internet network and consequently the Website, or for any configuration issues or issues related to a specific device or browser. Hôtel Clément does not guarantee that the Website will operate without interruption or that it will be free from computer errors.
Likewise, hyperlinks available on the Website may redirect to other websites, and Hôtel Clément disclaims all liability regarding the content of such websites and the services offered thereon.
Consequently, Hôtel Clément shall under no circumstances be held directly or indirectly liable in the event of transmission problems or communication interruptions, connection difficulties or impossibilities, or failure of the Website server.
More specifically, Hôtel Clément shall not be held liable for any material or immaterial, direct or indirect damage caused to Clients, to their computer equipment and the data stored therein, and for any consequences that may result for their personal, professional, or commercial activities.
Likewise, although the Establishment provides, particularly in the reserved rooms or apartments, an internet access service via Wifi, any total or partial failure of this service for any reason whatsoever during the stay shall not entitle the Client to cancel the Reservation or to claim any compensation whatsoever.

7.3 Force Majeure
Hôtel Clément shall not be held liable for the total or partial non-performance of its obligations relating to the Reservation in the event of force majeure as defined by case law and Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, or more generally due to any act of a third party, act of the Client, or act of commercial partners, including but not limited to unavailability of the Internet network, inability to access the Website, external intrusion, computer viruses, or prepayment not authorized by the Client’s bank.
The performance of Hôtel Clément’s obligations shall then be suspended in the event of an occurrence preventing their total or partial execution, and Hôtel Clément shall inform the Client as soon as possible.
7.4 Guarantee
Hôtel Clément makes every effort to ensure that the photographs, graphic representations, and texts used to present the Establishment provide as accurate a representation as possible of the accommodation, catering, and other complementary Services offered.
However, the photographs are non-contractual because, on the one hand, the different rooms, even when subject to the same rate, all have different dimensions, and on the other hand, variations may occur, particularly due to changes in furniture, new decoration, or possible renovations. Except in the case of a Reservation made with an express request for the allocation of a specific room and confirmed in writing as such by the Establishment, the Client may not make any claim in this respect, provided that such variations do not affect the essential characteristics of the Service.
7.5 Valuables
A safe is made available to guests in each room.
Under no circumstances shall Hôtel Clément be held liable for theft or damage to valuables left by the Client in the rooms, including inside the safes. By express agreement between the parties, it shall notably constitute negligence on the part of the Client to leave, during their stay, the door of their room unlocked or unsecured, as well as the windows thereof open.
