PDF version

 

Last update : 24/07/2023

 

ANY USE OF THE SITE FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER IMPLIES THE USER'S UNRESERVED ACCEPTANCE OF THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE.

 

Article 1: The company

The website is published by Casper BidCo whose information is available here. (hereinafter "CASPER BIDCO" or "the Operator")

 

Article 2: Terminology

The terms mentioned below have the following meaning in these General Terms and Conditions of Use:

  • Hotel company : refers to any hotel company of a B&B HOTELS hotel, or any hotel company authorised to use the "Inspired by B&B HOTELS" brand, who makes offers to Users through the Site. The hotel companies are listed in the applicable General Terms and Conditions of sale. The hotel company is a professional.
  • Parties: in the plural refers to CASPER BIDCO and the User together. In the singular, it refers to only one of the two Parties.
  • Platform: means the central online booking system operated by Casper BidCo on the Site
  • Services: refers to the services offered by B&B HOTELS on its website and on the mobile applications of the same name. 
  • Site: refers to the Casper BidCo website accessible at www.hotel-bb.com and the B&B HOTELS mobile applications.
  • User(s): refers to any Internet user browsing the Site, whether a customer, hotel company or simple Internet user with or without an account. A logged-in User is a User who has created an account on the Site.

 

Article 3: Purpose and Scope

These General Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms and Conditions of Use") define the legal framework governing access to the website and mobile applications (the "Site") and their uses. 

These Terms and Conditions of Use are in French and are intended to apply between Casper Bidco and any user wishing to access the Site and/or use the Services.

In this context, CASPER BIDCO acts as a mere technical intermediary. Its role is limited to hosting the offers proposed by the hotel companies on the Site and putting them in contact with the Users.

It is expressly stated that the hotel companies are professionals.

These General Terms and Conditions of Use do not govern the booking of a stay, which is governed by the General Terms and Conditions of Sale available here.

 

Article 4: Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions of Use

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these General Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions of Use, please do not access or use the Site.

The User thus undertakes to read these Terms and Conditions of Use carefully when accessing the Site and is asked to download them, print them and keep a copy.

These Terms and Conditions of Use are available at the bottom of each page of the Site by means of a hypertext link and can be consulted at any time.

 

Article 5: Technical specifications

By using the Site and the mobile applications, the User acknowledges that he/she has the necessary means and skills to use the proposed functionalities.

The equipment required to access and use the Site is at the User's expense, as are any telecommunication costs incurred by their use.

 

Article 6: Role of CASPER BIDCO

6.1. Content of the Operator's intervention as a mere intermediary

The Site published by CASPER BIDCO makes it possible to put in contact, electronically, hotel companies and Users for the reservation of stays.

CASPER BIDCO has no control over the booking of stays and does not intervene in the transaction between the hotel company and the User.

The booking contract is therefore concluded between the hotel company and the User, with CASPER BIDCO acting as a mere technical intermediary.

The information on the booking conditions and the hotel presentation sheets is prepared by the hotel companies.

CASPER BIDCO does not charge the hotel company or the customer for the connection.

The customer will pay for the reservation of his/her stay, and if necessary, for additional paid services related to his/her stay, directly to the hotel company.

These Terms and Conditions of Use do not, under any circumstances, confer on Users the status of employee, agent or representative of the Operator.

 

6.2. General pre-contractual information obligation: fairness, clarity and transparency

6.2.1. General provisions

As an online platform operator, CASPER BIDCO acts in a neutral, clear and transparent manner.

The Operator does not have any capital link or any legal dependency with any of the hotel companies listed on the Site which would influence the ranking or referencing of offers.

6.2.2. Financial transparency

In accordance with Article 242 bis of the General Tax Code, the Operator undertakes to:

  • At the time of each transaction carried out through it, to provide hotel companies with fair, clear and transparent information on their tax and social obligations. The turnover generated through the Site must necessarily be declared to the competent tax authorities in the same way as the income generated by the hotel company as part of its usual professional activity.
  • In January of each year, electronically deliver, to each hotel company, a summary document of the transactions as well as the total turnover achieved by the hotel company through the Site during the previous year.
  • Electronically send to the tax authorities, before 31 January of the year following the year in respect of which the information is given, a summary containing the elements transmitted in the summary document sent to each hotel company.

 

Article 7: Online review

Once your stay is over, you will receive a form by email to summarise your experience. You will be able to evaluate and describe what you liked during your stay in a hotel listed on the B&B HOTELS website.

Your review will then be published on the page of the hotel where you stayed. This way, you can share your comments with all Internet users.

For more details, you can consult the T&Cs dedicated to Accessible Notices here

The User can also give his/her opinion on his/her browsing experience on the Site. These opinions are collected via a pop-up window proposing that the user rate and comment on their browsing experience. These ratings and comments are stored in a tool and analysed to improve the online user experience. Such reviews will not be published on the Site.

 

Article 8: Services offered by the Site

8.1. General provisions

The website and mobile applications allow you, via a single online entry point, to access your past and future bookings, to book your room in any of the hotels listed on the B&B HOTELS website and to provide reviews, feedback and comments related to your stay in the hotels listed on the B&B HOTELS website. All offers, booking conditions and contracts relating to a hotel listed on the B&B HOTELS website are offered to you and are to be accepted from the hotel company of the hotel concerned, in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions of Sale of B&B HOTELS applicable for bookings made at a B&B HOTELS hotel. In the event of any contradiction or ambiguity between the provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Use and those of the applicable General Terms and Conditions of Sale with regard to their subject matter, the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale shall prevail.

The website and mobile applications also allow you to subscribe to the loyalty programme offered by our Site.

 

8.2. Ranking of offers

From the Site, the User can access the different offers for stay of the hotel companies.

The hotel companies' offers are ranked by default according to the following criteria:

When searching by city or point of interest, the hotels are sorted by distance from the location sought.

In the city pages, the order is decided by the countries.

Finally, the offers are ranked in order of price, with the cheapest always being offered first.

Upon voluntary action by the user, the ranking can be modified. The sorting function will allow you to classify hotels according to different criteria such as distance, cheapest price, best rating given by customers. The filter function will restrict the display of hotels according to criteria chosen by the User such as price range, facilities and services available, customer ratings or type of hotel. The hotels will appear in ascending order of distance for a given search, and the User can then select the option to sort by price. Then, the hotels will be listed in a personalised manner following the recommendations of an intelligent algorithm that will take into account the Customer's habits, prioritising their tastes according to their purchase history or browsing to facilitate their reservation on the B&B HOTELS website.

Your failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions of Use, or the Site Publisher's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions of Use, shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Article 19: Jurisdiction and Applicable law

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY USER AND THE OPERATOR ARE GOVERNED BY FRENCH LAW.

In the event of a dispute arising between the Operator and a User concerning the interpretation, performance or termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall endeavour to settle it amicably.

In such a case, the User is first invited to contact the Operator's mediation service by using the claims form provided for this purpose: https://www.hotel-bb.com/fr/aide-contact/formulaire-contact/france

If no agreement is reached, an optional mediation procedure will be proposed, conducted in a spirit of fairness and good faith with a view to reaching an amicable agreement in the event of any dispute relating to this contract, including its validity.

Pursuant to Article L. 616-1 of the Consumer Code, the Operator shall inform the consumer of the contact details of the consumer ombudsman to whom it is associated. The consumer user may thus contact the Tourism and Travel Ombudsman, whose contact details are as follows

- Postal address for referrals: MTV Médiation Tourisme et Voyage BP 80303 - 75823 PARIS CEDEX 17

- Email: info@mtv.travel

- Information: http://www.mtv.travel

The Party wishing to initiate the mediation process must first inform the other Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, indicating the elements of the dispute.

Since mediation is not compulsory, the consumer User or the Operator may withdraw from the process at any time.

IN THE EVENT THAT MEDIATION FAILS OR IS NOT ENVISAGED, THE DISPUTE WHICH MAY HAVE GIVEN RISE TO MEDIATION SHALL BE REFERRED TO THE COMPETENT COURT.
