Here listed are the catered terms and conditions “T & Cs” for HUNTER CHALETS SAS & HUNTER CHALETS DEUX SAS, 24D Chemin du Pied de la Plagne, 74110, Morzine, France; hereafter referred to as “Hunter Chalets” “We”, “Our”, or “Us”. These terms and conditions relate to the rental of catered properties supplied through Hunter Chalets. You can find out if a chalet is run by HUNTER CHALETS SAS or HUNTER CHALETS DEUX SAS by referring to the small print on each individual chalet page. 

AGREEMENT

1.1 The catered terms and conditions contained in this document, together with your booking form,
comprise the contract between Hunter Chalets SAS or Hunter Chalets Deux SAS and all persons listed on the booking form. The contract is deemed to have been made as soon as the booking form has been sent and completed online by the group leader, accompanied by a non-refundable deposit (detailed in section 2.1) or full payment as applicable. The “booking form” refers to the soft e-copy or paper copy of the original booking form and the incorporated catered terms and conditions filled in by the group leader.

1.2 By completing a booking form, the group leader agrees on behalf of all listed members that:

1.2.1 He/she has read the catered terms and conditions and agrees that all members of the group
are bound by them

1.2.2 He/she is over 18 years old

1.2.3 He/she consents to our use of information as stated in our privacy policy (available by clicking
on the following link: https://hunterchalets.com/privacy-policy/ 

1.2.4 All information provided to Hunter Chalets SAS or Hunter Chalets Deux SAS is correct and accurate

1.3 You must read these booking conditions carefully before booking your holiday with Hunter
Chalets. The person making the booking on behalf of the Client (the group leader) accepts the
booking conditions on behalf of all persons defined as “Client”. It is the responsibility of the group
leader to bring these booking conditions to the attention of all persons included in the booking and
to ensure that they are respected. Validation of a booking by the Client implies acceptance without
restriction or reservation of these General Conditions.

1.4 The group leader making the booking is deemed to have made the booking exclusively on his/her own behalf and the other members of the group staying with him/her. Bookings on behalf of third parties are not permitted. 

1.5 When payment has been made over the telephone, without a booking form being completed, a
contract will come into existence immediately between you and Hunter Chalets upon processing of a
credit/debit card payment for the deposit or full payment of your holiday. This will be oral
confirmation of your booking. Written confirmation will be subsequently sent via email.

1.6 The group leader is responsible, on behalf of all other members of the group, for all matters
relating to the booking, thus he/she will be personally liable for all monies due to Hunter Chalets
from the remainder of the guests listed on the booking form. The “group leader” refers to the
person stated as such on the booking form.

1.7 If at any time, prior to the start of the holiday, there is a change of group leader, Hunter Chalets
must be notified, either by email or telephone, by the original group leader.

1.8 Under no circumstances are additional guests allowed to stay in the catered property, other than
those specified on the booking form. Failure to comply with this may result in your booking being
terminated immediately in resort and you and your party being asked to vacate the relevant catered
property immediately. No compensation will be paid for this. “Catered properties” means the
property you are occupying, as stated on the booking form.

1.9 Please note that due to the nature of the services, you do not benefit from the 14-day cooling off period.

 

2.0 BOOKING

2.1 The booking made in accordance with clause 1.1 above shall not be final and the contract shall
not be entered into until the availability of the catered property has been confirmed by Hunter
Chalets SAS and upon the receipt of a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total cost of the holiday
(the “Deposit”) unless otherwise agreed by Hunter Chalets. A booking enquiry will not be held until a
full deposit is received. A completed booking form must also be submitted within 7 days to complete
a reservation.

2.2 Should a booking be requested in writing/email or verbally, without payment of a deposit, the
booking will be deemed not secure until deposit monies are received. Thus, Hunter Chalets reserves
the right to re-book the same week in the same accommodation to another client without
notification.

2.3 When you receive your confirmation invoice, please check all details carefully to ensure that they
are correct. If there are any errors on the confirmation invoice, please bring them to our attention
within 7 days of the invoice being issued, otherwise we will assume that the details shown are
correct and a change fee will be charged if changes are subsequently required.

2.4 The final balance outstanding on your holiday must be paid 10 weeks before the start date of
your holiday with Hunter Chalets. For bookings made within the 10-week start date period, the full
cost of the holiday will be payable at the time of booking to secure your reservation.

2.5 If the final balance is not received 10 weeks before the start of you holiday with Hunter Chalets,
we reserve the right to cancel the booking and retain any deposit paid and levy cancellation charges
as outlined in section 5.5 and 5.6 below. Hunter Chalets then reserves the right to re-book the same
week in the same catered property to another client without notification.

2.6 If you, or your party, change any of your flight details after having booked your holiday, and
Hunter Chalets SAS or Hunter Chalets Deux SAS has made airport transfer, or any other arrangements on your behalf, an administrative charge of €50 may be incurred, which will be added to your final balance.

2.7 If you agree to reserve a whole catered property on an exclusive use basis, the group leader is
liable for the full cost of that property, as stated on your booking form, irrespective of party size and
final number of guests confirmed. Please note, if your party size exceeds the agreed maximum
capacity of the catered property, as stated on your booking form, an additional charge will be
incurred.

2.8 As group leader, payments for catered properties on behalf of a group must be made in one
lump sum. This applies to deposits and also final balances. Hunter Chalets cannot accept multiple
payments from multiple individuals for group bookings.
Payments made by the client will only be considered final once Hunter Chalets has received the said
sums.

 

3.0 PRICES AND PAYMENT

3.1 Prices are based on exclusive use of the properties and will therefore remain the same
irrespective of the number of guests, up to the maximum capacity. We reserve the right to increase

security against damage, loss, breakages and additional cleaning charges, as more specifically
detailed in section 7.0. These details will be kept for the duration of your stay and by you agreeing to
these catered terms and conditions, you are agreeing to allow Hunter Chalets to charge that card in

charges. Acceptable payment types are bank transfer, to our GBP or Euro French bank accounts, and

payment by other means. In the event of non-payment by other means or a new payment not being
honoured within 72 hours of Hunter Chalets making the request, we reserve the right to cancel the
booking and retain any deposit paid, and to levy a cancellation charge as set out in 4.0 below. Hunter
Chalets then reserves the right to re-book the same week of the same property to another client
without notice or refund of any sums already paid by the client in respect of the booking.

behalf will be added to your balance. We reserve the right to cancel your holiday should you fail to
pay your final balance. No compensation will be provided.

responsibility to report to us any damage you notice to the property on arrival or during your stay.

of your party during your stay. In the event that any damage to the property is not brought to our

hours of your departure from the property to advise you of the cost of repairing the damage to the
property.

6.0 RESPONSIBILITIES AND BEHAVIOUR

6.1 Guests should act in a way that is respectful to staff, other guests and local residents at all times
and in a way that does not damage Hunter Chalets’ reputation. All guests must recognise that the
properties are within residential areas and thus keep noise levels appropriate at all times and
minimise any disruption to neighbours. Guests must observe a 22:00 curfew for outdoor noise or
excessive noise within the property.
Hunter Chalets will not be held responsible for any official fees or fines incurred for noise or breach
of peace and reserve the right to refuse to further accommodate guests in breach of this section.
Groups in breach of any part(s) of this section will result in all contractual obligations being
terminated immediately and no compensation will be payable.

6.2 Smoking within any of Hunter Chalets properties is strictly forbidden. Those wishing to smoke
should do so outside the property, disposing of cigarette butts in a designated ashtray. Any group
found to have anyone smoking in the properties will be charged €500 for an external commercial
cleaning company fee.

6.3 The use of illegal substances in any of our properties will not be tolerated. Anyone found to be
using or supplying such substances will be evicted from the property with immediate effect. This
could lead to the entire group being evicted. No compensation will be paid.

6.4 It is the responsibility of the group to ensure that the property is locked at all times. Any group
who fails to lock the doors and windows of the property will be liable for any stolen property
belonging to Hunter Chalets or the Owner as a result of such negligence. Hunter Chalets will not be
held responsible for any theft or loss of personal property from the Property or vehicles.

6.5 It is your responsibility to ensure you have all the necessary legal travel documents in place
depending on your nationality. It is your responsibility to check which documents are required
before you travel and ensure you have those in place for the duration of your holiday. Please ensure
your passport is valid beyond your return date. Hunter Chalets will not be held responsible to any
legal changes made to travel requirements between the time of booking your holiday to departure.
No refunds or compensation will be made by Hunter Chalets in the circumstance where any
government changes to travel regulations are imposed.

6.6 You are responsible for ensuring that you have full medical and travel insurance cover
throughout your stay at Hunter Chalets from the date of booking. Winter/mountain sports and
travel involve a degree of risk and therefore we insist that you take out adequate travel insurance in
order to cover any accidents during your holiday, for which Hunter Chalets will not be held
responsible.

Hunter Chalets will only be liable for death or personal injury if it is a direct result of an act or
omission of our employees in the performance of their duties, unless the cause of such death or
personal injury is due to: – Your acts or omissions or those of a third party not connected with the provision of your
booking; – an event which could not have been foreseen or prevented even by exercising all due care.
However, acceptance of this liability is subject to you informing us of any claim in writing within 28
days of the end of your holiday.

6.7 It is your responsibility to park your car in a safe and designated area that does not obstruct any
neighbouring property or snowplough access. All personal or rented vehicles are left at the owner’s
or user’s risk and must be parked in a safe and authorised parking space. Hunter Chalets will not be
held responsible for any damage or theft of your vehicle.

6.8 It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the fire exits and fire extinguishers in the
property when you arrive.

 

7.0 DAMAGES, LOSS, SURPLUS CLEANING, THEFT AND BREAKAGES

7.1 Details of the party leader’s valid credit card will be taken during the booking process or on
arrival as security against damage, loss, breakages and additional cleaning charges. By you agreeing
to these Catered terms and conditions you are agreeing to allow Hunter Chalets to charge said card
in Euros or Pounds Sterling in the event of any damages, losses, breakages or additional cleaning
charges.

7.2 Should any items or property be lost or damaged during your stay, you must notify Hunter
Chalets. Any damage or loss caused by any member of the group must be paid for in full before
departure by the party leader. In the event that we are not notified of the loss or damage before
your departure, Hunter Chalets will contact you within 72 hours of you leaving the catered property
to confirm additional charges to be charged. These will be deducted from the party leader’s credit
card on file.

7.3 By accepting these terms and conditions, the client undertakes to take good care of the items,
goods and equipment forming part of the property or made available to him/her during the stay and
to return them at the end of the stay in the same condition as the client found them on arrival. Any
loss of or damage to any of these goods and equipment forming part of the property or made
available to the client, will be charged to the client prior to departure on the basis of the cost of
replacing them with new material.

7.4 Our keys for catered properties are security keys, therefore, should you lose a key, you will be
charged €250 for a replacement. This charge will be made immediately using a credit / debit card.

7.5 Any client not properly securing the exits or windows of the property, including balcony, garage
and hot-tub access doors, will be liable for any Hunter Chalets property stolen as a result of that
negligence.

7.6 Hunter Chalets will not be held responsible for any theft or loss of any personal possessions from
our premises / vehicles. Whilst Hunter Chalets will endeavour to ensure the security of guests’
personal possessions, Hunter Chalets cannot guarantee it.

7.7 It is up to the group leader to ensure that each member of the party is responsible for the safety
of all their own personal possessions, documents and equipment. No responsibility or liability will be
accepted in respect of such items, as it is a condition of your booking (and therefore reasonably
assumed by Hunter Chalets) that all guests have taken out appropriate insurance to cover such loss
and/or damage. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that this section also applies to mountain
bikes, road bikes, ski/snowboard equipment and any other “high value items” that guests have
brought with them on holiday.

 

8.0 CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT TIMES

8.1 Check-in time is strictly 16:00. Check-out time is strictly 10:00. Whilst we understand that some
groups may wish to arrive earlier or depart later on those days, Hunter Chalets need to maintain
these timings in order to prepare the properties for the next guests. We will happily store luggage
should your flight schedule mean you arrive before or after our check-in and check-out times,
however, we cannot guarantee any access to the properties.

the age of 12 and pregnant women do not use the hot tub. Under 16 year olds must be accompanied
at all times in the hot tub or pool. Please be aware that the area around the hot tub can become
slippery and that ice may form on the deck around it in the winter season. When using the hot tub,
drinks must be kept in plastic glasses without exception. Any broken glass in a hot tub will result in
the hot tub being permanently closed and any subsequent damage, repair costs or inconvenience to
the following weeks clients will be charged accordingly and before the groups departure. Chalet staff
reserve the right to close the hot tub at any time if it is being misused, if guests are not observing
rules or curfews or if there is any chemical imbalance or breakdown. Compensation will not be
payable in such cases and prior notice is not necessary. Hunter Chalets take meticulous care of the
hot tubs and drain, clean and replace water for every new group. Daily chemical checks and
maintenance are recorded according to the law. In the interest of hygiene, all persons using the hot
tub are required to shower before entering.

10.7 Where the property has a barbecue, pizza oven and outdoor bar, it has to be operated by the
