Tenant: the owner (or his agent) of the rented vacation home.
Between: Belle Gite*, which on behalf of the owner, makes vacation homes available on its website.
* Belle Gite is a platform that facilitates contact between travelers and homeowners. The rental contract is between the tenant and the landlord. Belle Gite is not a party to conflicts between tenant and homeowner. Belle Gite cannot be held liable to compensate for damages if a stay cannot take place due to force majeure.

GT__3. Rental Period
The rental period shall commence and end on the rental date as confirmed in the rental agreement.
4. Security Deposit
The security deposit paid before the start of rental period will be refunded at the end of the rental period, unless any damage was done to the rented materials, whether intentional or unintentional.
The inspection of the vacation rental is done at the time of cleaning because only then one has been able to check everything thoroughly. It is therefore during cleaning that damage or breakage can be determined.
If the amount of the deposit is not sufficient it will be recovered from the tenant's insurance.
5. Responsibility
The tenant acknowledges that he alone is civilly responsible for the damage caused to the accommodation, its interior, its equipment, to third parties and/or their goods, by his actions or those of a person, including his guests, or of an animal for which he is responsible, as a result of an unlawful or reprehensible behavior, of a theft or of a fire as well as of the non-execution of his contractual obligations.
The costs to which the owner is exposed in order to restore the accommodation, its contents, its equipment and/or its outbuildings to their original state, with deduction, if applicable, of an ageing coëfficiënt, will be deducted from the deposit and, if the deposit is not sufficient to cover these costs, they will be invoiced by the owner to the client.
6. Consumption
The amounts indicated in relation to energy consumption correspond to an indicative and reasonable consumption taking into account the composition of the group during the stay, as indicated by the client during the booking, and normal usage.
The consumption in no case covers the recharging of electric vehicles, the installation of inflatable swimming pools or any other equipment.
The use of the resources for purposes other than those of the vacation home may give rise to a billing of the additional costs incurred.
7. Compliance with the purpose of the accommodation
The tenant undertakes not to park vehicles in places not provided for this purpose (lawn, garden...).
He also undertakes not to install temporary shelters, such as a tent, mobile home, etc.
8. Compliance with the legally permitted maximum capacity of the vacation home
The renter undertakes to comply with the legally permitted maximum capacity of the accommodation, as entered on the rental agreement, as well as the prohibition of additional accommodation. If the maximum number of persons is exceeded, the rental agreement will be considered terminated by right and access to the vacation home will be denied without any claim to reimbursement of the rent. If the maximum number of persons is exceeded, one is no longer in compliance with the regulations of the Walloon Region relating to fire safety, as well as fire insurance.
If at a later date, unbeknownst to the landlord, additional persons do come to stay in the vacation home, a claim of 25% of the rental price per additional person will immediately follow, which, if necessary, will be deducted from the security deposit.
GT__9. Ban on frying / fondue / gourmet
Unless otherwise agreed, the renter agrees not to use a frying pan, fondue or gourmet set in the rented places during the entire duration of the stay.
10. Sanctions
If the tenant does not fulfill his/her obligations, he/she may be denied access to the property and Belle Gite has the right to terminate the contract.
Belle Gite may also terminate the contract if it becomes aware of an unlawful or unauthorized use of the property by the tenant or by a person authorized by the tenant to be on site, or of the behavior of an animal in the tenant's care that causes or could cause a nuisance or damage that would interfere with the proper conduct of the stay.
