Preamble

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to all bookings made with CHADOTEL campsites. Their purpose is to define the rights and obligations of both parties, namely CHADOTEL and the customer, in the context of the sale of stays in outdoor accommodation. Any booking implies full acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions.

Article 1 – Scope of Application

restriction or reservation, to any booking of accommodation or an undeveloped pitch at any campsite operated by SAS CHADOTEL – 54 rue Georges Clemenceau, 85520 Jard-sur-Mer – registered with the La Roche-sur-Yon Trade and Companies Register under Siren number 38833452600083.

•          by postal mail,
•          by email,

The main features of our services (accommodations, pitches, facilities) are presented:

•          directly on our website, or
•          if you book by another means, on a written document (paper or electronic).

The client must review this information before confirming their booking.

The selection and purchase of the stay are the client’s responsibility.

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale replace any other conditions applicable to Chadotel, including those related to other sales channels. They are available at any time on our website and are the binding terms at the time of your booking.

Unless proven otherwise, data recorded in our computer system constitutes proof of all transactions concluded with the client.

Personal Data Protection

In accordance with the French Data Protection Act (“Informatique et Libertés”) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the client may exercise their rights of access, correction, or opposition at any time (if the processing is not essential for contract execution).

To do so, please write to:

CHADOTEL, 54 rue Georges Clemenceau – 85520 Jard-sur-Mer, providing proof of identity.

Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions

By booking a stay with us, the client declares that they have read and accepted these General Terms and Conditions:

•          either by ticking the box provided when booking online,
•          or, for any other type of booking, by any other appropriate means.

Article 2 – Reservations 

Booking your stay with Chadotel is easy! You select (online or on the documents provided by Chadotel):

•          the campsite of your choice,
•          available dates,
•          type of stay,
•          desired options,

then confirm your order.

You are responsible for checking that all the information in your order is correct and must notify Chadotel within 24 hours in case of any error.

A reservation becomes final only after written confirmation from Chadotel (by email or postal mail) and receipt of an initial payment. Any order validated on www.chadotel.com thus constitutes a distance contract between you and Chadotel.

Important:

•          Minimum stay:

o          Low season (outside school holidays): 2 nights minimum.

o          Public holiday weekends and major events: 3–4 nights minimum.

o          High season (school holidays): 7 nights minimum for rentals, with arrivals on Saturday, Sunday, or Wednesday depending on the campsite.

•          Reservations are nominative and cannot be transferred.
•          The Reservations Department can be reached at 02 51 33 05 05 or by email at info@chadotel.com.

Legal Capacity

By accepting these General Terms and Conditions and confirming the reservation, the client declares that they have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. If not, the authorization of a guardian or legal representative is mandatory.

Individual and Group Bookings

Our accommodations and pitches offered online are intended exclusively for individual clients.

For group bookings, please contact our Reservations Department directly (by email or via the “Contact” section of the website). Chadotel reserves the right to accept or refuse the request after review.

Participants

Each participant counts, regardless of age.

One baby = one child = one adult = 1 participant.

Undeveloped Pitches

When booking an undeveloped pitch, the client must indicate the exact size of their equipment (caravan, motorhome, car, trailer). Any error may prevent occupation of the pitch, at the client’s expense.

Article 3 – Rates

Chadotel stays are offered at the rates in effect at the time of booking, as indicated:

•          on our website www.chadotel.com,

Article 7 – Guest Obligations 

7.1 Civil Liability Insurance

All guests staying in a Chadotel accommodation or pitch must be covered by civil liability insurance.

Proof of insurance may be requested before the start of the stay.

Minors cannot stay alone: they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

At Chadotel, your four-legged friends are welcome (limited to one pet per pitch or accommodation, depending on the type).

Rules to follow:

•          Pets remain under the owner’s responsibility.
•          Prohibited animals:

o          Exotic pets (NAC),

Electric grills/planchas are prohibited in all Chadotel campsites (except Camping Les Iles).

Gas or charcoal barbecues are allowed and available for rent on site (depending on the campsite).

Charcoal barbecues require prefectural authorization depending on the location.

7.4 Visitors

Visitors are allowed under the responsibility of the camper receiving them, only after authorization by the campsite manager and payment of any applicable fee.

They do not have access to water facilities, kids’ clubs, or teen/adult activities.

Vehicles must be parked in the parking lot outside the campsite.

7.5 House Rules

A house rule is posted at the entrance and reception of the campsite.

The guest must read and respect it. A copy can be provided upon request.

Failure to comply may result in termination of the accommodation contract and immediate exclusion of the guest and/or occupants without refund.

Article 8 – Exclusion of Liability of the Provider 

8.1 Vegetation and Parking

Chadotel cannot be held responsible for material damage caused by falling light branches or pine cones, including damage to guests’ vehicles.

Even if professional and regular pruning is carried out, this natural risk may persist in areas where a vehicle is parked near accommodations.

The guest acknowledges being informed of this risk and agrees to take precautions (e.g., use a protective cover).

To avoid this risk completely, vehicles can be parked:

•          In the parking lot at the campsite entrance, or
•          In designated public spaces reserved for parking.

8.2 Pools, Basins, and Swimming

•          According to the State Council (Interior Section, n°353 358 of January 26, 1993), supervision of pools and basins is not mandatory.

Swimming is therefore at the sole responsibility of the users.

•          Parents must ensure constant supervision of their minor children.
•          Any accident or drowning is the responsibility of the user and/or their parents.

Chadotel’s liability cannot be engaged under any circumstances.

•          Only the following swimwear is allowed in pools: one-piece swimsuit, bikini, swim briefs, and swim boxer shorts.
•          UV-protective T-shirts are allowed for children up to 6 years old. Beyond this age, a medical certificate is required.

Article 9 – Right of Withdrawal

In accordance with Article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, activities related to the organization and sale of stays or excursions on a specific date or during a specified period are not subject to the legal withdrawal period applicable to distance or off-premises sales.

Guests therefore have no statutory right to cancel or withdraw once the booking has been confirmed for a specific stay or excursion.
