However, if several users are interested in the same property at the same time, the first to conclude the booking (including the payment) has right of way.
Thus, if the offer you were interested in turned out to have been already booked or has become unavailable in the course of the booking process (before confirmation), the site would immediately inform you and suggest to you an alternative solution.
If, nevertheless, you did not accept this solution, all information concerning you would be completely deleted from our database, and all processed payments would be paid back as soon as possible.

By applying the terms of the article 16-l of the Directive nº 2011/83/UE made public on October, 25th, 2011, the present service is not subject to the consumer’s right to withdraw.

Failing that, the site can consider that the user means to give his booking up.
If the user does not pay the balance, there will be no payback of the deposit to be counted on and the user will remain indebted with the total price of the booking. (See the cancellation conditions).

Given the situation of absolute necessity or unforeseeable circumstances, such situation can never give cause to damages.
