General rental conditions

Preamble – Definition

In these general terms and conditions of hire (hereinafter referred to as the “GTC”), the following definitions shall apply: “Service Provider”: Le Hangar, a limited liability company registered with the RCS of Boulogne-sur-Mer under number 911 314 243, whose registered office is at 2 bis rue Basse Boulogne 62145 in Enquin-Lez-Guinegatte contact@lehangarstudio.com; “Customer”: any natural person or legal entity under public or private law with whom the lessor enters into a hire agreement; “Service”: the hire of a room, office, workstation and associated ancillary services.

Article 1 – Purpose

The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions is to govern the relationship between the Service Provider and the Customer. They define the conditions under which the service is booked and honoured. The T&C apply to all customers, whether private individuals, professionals or legal entities. The fact of renting implies express and unreserved acceptance by the Customer of alĺ of the clauses and conditions set out in these CGL.

These CGL govern precarious rentals derogating from article L.145-4 of the French Commercial Code, as well as rentals for receptions, seminars, conferences, training, professional meetings or exhibitions. The nature of the event will be in accordance with that stated in the booking requests and confirmations.

The Provider reserves the right to unilaterally amend these T&Cs at any time and, in such case, to apply them to current rentals subject to having informed́ the Customer within 15 days.

The fact that the Service Provider does not avail itself during a given period of any of the present conditions may not be interpreted́ as a waiver of the right to avail itself subsequently of the said condition or, more generally, of the other conditions.

Article 2 – Formation of the contract

The Service Provider will draw up a quotation in advance of any request for services. The contract will be fully formed when the Customer has returned by post or e-mail to the address indicated the duly dated and signed quotation bearing the words “bon pour accord” (“good for agreement”) together with the stipulated deposit.

The Provider reserves the right to cancel the booking of the service if the quotation and the deposit are not returned within the period specified́.

Article 3 – Modification of the service

Any modification (date, duration, purpose) must be the subject of a written request in order to be accepted by the service provider. Any modification will result in a new estimate being drawn up.

Article 4: Conduct of the service

Before any service begins, an entry inventory of fixtures will be carried out́ and will be followed by the return of the keys by the Service Provider, failing which the Customer declares to take the premises in perfect condition. At the end of the service or the day after it, an exit inventory of fixtures will be carried out́ with the return of the keys by the Customer.

The Customer will be held responsible for any damage caused to property or persons throughout the time of possession of the keys. The Customer undertakes to comply with the capacity and duration of occupation stipulated in the quotation.

The Customer is not permitted to drive nails, tacks or staples into the doors or walls of the rented premises. It is also forbidden to apply tape or tacky gum to painted walls.

The duration of the event shall be in accordance with the times agreed at the time of booking. The rented space must be taken over and vacated within the agreed time slot. An additional charge will be made for any unscheduled overrun of the time slot. Any such overruns will be subject to availability.

If equipment is deposited before or after hire, it remains the responsibility of the customer. Deliveries before or after the event are subject to prior agreement setting out the nature, packaging and weight of the items as well as the times (delivery between 9am and 5pm). Your equipment must be returned immediately after use.

The number of people indicated for each room (training room: 15 people, studio: 180 people) must not be exceeded́ for safetý reasons.

In accordance with decree no. 92-478 of 29 May 1992 and the law of 1 January 2008, we remind you that smoking is prohibited in places assigned for collective use.

The Customer undertakes to use the premises and their facilities in accordance with the provisions of these T&Cs and the internal regulations made available to him.

The Customer undertakes to pay the price stated in the quotation.
The Customer is prohibited from accessing rooms not stipulated in the quotation.

The Customer shall be obliged to return the rented premises in the condition in which they were taken. Consequently, the Customer is responsible for cleaning the premises, unless the Customer subscribes to this service as an optional extra. In the event of failure to do so, the Supplier reserves the right to invoice cleaning costs.

The Customer will be obliged to use a caterer to gain access to the galley.
The Customer is required to comply with and ensure compliance with the safety instructionś in force in the establishment.

The Customer undertakes to have insurance covering the risks of damage to property and persons. The insurance certificate shall be sent to the Lessor prior to hire. Failure to present the certificate in no way releases the Customeŕ from liability for damage caused during the rental period.

Article 7 – Invoicing

The price invoiced by the Service Provider to the Customer is that agreed in the quotation.

Article 8 – Payment

Invoicing: The price is payable in Euros by cheque or bank transfer. It is exclusive of tax for professional customers.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Service Provider will invoice the Customer for a deposit of 50% on receipt of the Customer’s acceptance of the quotation. The balance will be invoiced on the first day of the service.

A deposit of €3,000 will also be due on the first day of the service. This will be returned to the Customer on departure or in the week following the service after an inventory has been carried out. It will not be returned to the Customer in the event of damage to the premises, breakage or disappearance of objects or equipment, which are therefore the responsibilitý of the Customer. If the amount of damage exceeds the price of the deposit, an estimate will be drawn up by an expert and must be paid by the Customer.

Payment incidents: In the event of non-payment of the deposit the Provider may refuse to hire, without the Customer being entitled to claim any compensation.

In the event of late payment, the Supplier will automatically charge the Customer late payment penalties at the rate of 3 times the legal interest rate until the amount due has been paid in full. Late payment penalties are payable on the day following the payment date indicated on the invoice, without the need for a reminder.

Article 9 – Early cancellation

The Customer must pay the full amount of the Service defined in the contract if the cancellation occurs less than fifteen days before the date of the Service, less than 16 and 30 days before the date of the Service, the Customer must pay 50% of the total amount, after which the deposit will be returned.
The Service Provider reserves the right to unilaterally terminate, without prior notice or compensation, any Service whose purpose or cause is incompatible with the purpose of the rented premises or which is contrary to public decency or likely to disturb public order.

Article 10 – Force majeure

The Service Provider may not be held liable in the event of force majeure hindering or paralysing the performance of its obligations.

Article 11 – Cancellation clause

In the event of total or partial non-payment, and 48 hours after formal notice to pay has remained unsuccessful, the contract may be terminated by operation of law.
