Reservation conditions
(Subject to Articles 95 to 103)
Article 1- Tourisme 77 Travel Nature & fonction
Article 11 - Cancellation by the vendor
Tourism 77 Travel is structured to organise and sell tourist services mainly in the areas of Seine
et Marne and Paris-Ile de France. These products essentially concern the reception activities,
namely welcome, accommodation, restaurant services, entertainment, transfers, guiding and
generally speaking all services required within the framework of tourist activity.
When before the start of the break it is cancelled by Tourism 77 Travel, it must notify the
purchaser by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt or by fax with request for
acknowledgement. The purchaser, without prejudice to any claims for compensation for
damages possibly incurred, will be reimbursed immediately without penalties for the amount
paid. He will furthermore receive an indemnity at least equal to the penalty he would have
paid if he had himself cancelled at that time, save when the cancellation is due to cases of force
majeure or to safeguard the travellers. An insufficient number of participants can constitute a
valid reason for cancellation for some types of breaks. In this case Tourism 77 Travel reimburses
all amounts paid. This possibility could not take place less than 3 weeks before the break
commences.
These provisions do not apply when an amicable agreement has been reached whereby the
purchaser accepts an alternative break offered by the vendor.
Article 2 - Length of break
Under no circumstances can the customer signing the fixed term contract exercise any right
whatsoever to retain the premises at the end of the break.
Article 3 - Liability
Tourism 77 Travel who sells services to the customer is his only interlocutor and is liable to him
for the execution of the obligations forming part of these terms and conditions of sale. The
reservation service cannot be held liable for acts of God, cases of force majeure or an act by
anyone foreign to the organisation or progress of the break.
Article 4 - Reservation
The customer must pay to Tourism 77 Travel the balance of the service agreed which remains
due one month before the beginning of the stay. Any customer who has not paid the balance by
the date agreed is considered as having cancelled his break, whereupon the service is once more
offered for sale. No reimbursement will be made.
When during the break the vendor finds it impossible to supply a preponderant part of the
services anticipated in the contract, and which represent a not inconsiderable percentage of
the price accepted by the purchaser, Tourism 77 Travel, without prejudice to any claims for
compensation for damages possibly incurred, will offer replacement products, all extra costs
being paid by it. If the service accepted by the purchaser is of lower quality, Tourism 77 Travel
will reimburse him with the difference in price before the end of his break. If the vendor
cannot offer replacement products or if they are refused by the purchaser for valid reasons, the
vendor will pay the purchaser an indemnity calculated on the same basis as a cancellation by
the vendor.
Article 6 - Late registrations
Article 13 - Interrupted break
The reservation becomes firm when a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the price of the break,
accompanied by one copy of the sales contract signed by the customer, is returned to Tourism
77 Travel before the expiry date specified on the contract.
Article 5 - Settlement of balance
In the case of registration less than 30 days before the beginning of the break, the full amount
will be due at the time of registration.

Article 15 - Transfer of contract by the customer
Article 8 - Arrival
Article 9 - Cancellation by the customer
The purchaser can transfer his contract to a transferee who will fulfil the same conditions as him
for the realisation of the product. In this case, the purchaser is required to notify the reservation
service of his decision by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt at the latest one
week before the break. The contract must be transferred at cost price. The transferor and the
transferee are jointly responsible towards the vendor for the payment of the balance price as well
as possible extra costs incurred due to this transfer.
All cancellations must be notified by registered post, telegram or fax to Tourism 77 Travel. For
any customer cancellation the sum retained by Tourism 77 Travel will be as follows:

General terms and conditions for booking
(articles 95 to 103 of decree n° 94-490 of 15th June 1994)
Article 95
Without prejudice to the exclusions provided for in the second paragraph (a and b) of article
4 of the Act of 13th July 1992, any offer and any sale of travel and holiday services give rise to
the relevant documents being handed over, these documents meeting the rules defined by this
heading. In the case of the sale of tickets for transport by air or the sale of tickets for transport
by regular services not accompanied by services linked with these transport services, the seller
hands over to the purchaser one or more travel tickets for the entire journey issued by the carrier
or on his own account. In the case of transport being provided on request, the name and address
of the carrier on whose account the tickets have been issued, must be mentioned. The separate
invoicing of the various elements making up a package does not release the seller from any
obligations coming under this heading.
Article 96
Prior to the signing of the contract in the form of a written document giving the company’s
name, address and indication of its official right to exercise its business activity, the seller must
give the consumer all relevant information concerning the rates, dates and component parts of

yet taken effect. Notwithstanding any statement more favourable to the transferor, the transferor
is bound to inform the purchase of his decision by recorded delivery letter at least seven days
before the beginning of the journey. In the case of a cruise, this period is extended to fifteen
days. This transfer is in no way subject to the prior authorisation of the seller.

Article 101
When, before the departure of the purchaser, the seller has no choice but to modify one of the

to his/her right to compensation for any damage which may be incurred, and after being so
informed by the seller by recorded delivery mail, may:
- either cancel the contract and obtain the immediate reimbursement of all sums paid without
any penalty whatsoever,
- or accept the modification or the substitution journey proposed by the seller: an amendment
to the contract stipulating the said modifications will then be signed by both parties. Any
reduction in the price is deducted from any amounts remaining due by the purchaser, and, if
the payments already made exceed the price of the modified service offered, the excess amount
must be settled in his/her favour before the date of departure.
Article 102
In the case provided for in article 21 of the Act of 13th July 1992, when, before the departure
of the purchaser, the seller cancels the journey or holiday, he/she must inform the purchaser
by recorded delivery mail; without any prejudice to his/her right to claim compensation
for any damage which may have been incurred, the purchaser should receive the immediate
reimbursement of the sums paid from the seller without any penalty being incurred; in this case,
the purchaser receives an indemnity which is at least equal to the penalty he/she would have had
to have paid should the cancellation have been made at his/her bidding at this date.
The provisions laid down in this article shall not hinder in any way the signing of a friendly
settlement, the purpose of which would be the purchaser’s acceptance of a substitution journey
or holiday proposed by the seller.
Article 103
When, after the departure of the purchaser, the seller is not in a position to provide a sizeable
part of the services scheduled in the contract, representing a significant percentage of the
price paid by the purchaser, the seller must take the following measures immediately without
prejudice to his/her right to claim for any damage which may be incurred:
- either to propose services replacing the scheduled services and possibly accepting to pay any
supplement in terms of price, and, if the services accepted by the purchaser are inferior in
quality, the seller must reimburse the difference in price as soon as the purchaser returns home,
- or, if the seller cannot propose any substitution service or if the said services are refused by
the purchaser for valid reasons, to provide the purchaser travel tickets, without any supplement
to the price, to ensure his/her return home in conditions which may be considered as being
equivalent, to the place of departure or any other place accepted by both parties.
