PREAMBLE

On behalf of the EKOSPORT-RENT Shops (hereinafter referred to as the "Rental Shops"), the Company registers on this Website reservations (hereinafter referred to as the "Reservation(s)") by the Customer of various equipment intended for board sports (hereinafter referred to as the "Rental").

The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Hire (hereinafter "GTC") is to define the terms and conditions for Reserving and Hiring the various items of equipment and services on the Website. All Reservations and Rentals are subject to compliance with these GTC.

Confirmation by the Customer of a Reservation on the Web Site implies full acceptance of these T&Cs.

These General Terms and Conditions may be amended at the sole initiative of the Company. The conditions applicable to a Reservation and Rental are those in force on the Website at the date of the Reservation.

ARTICLE 1: FACILITIES AND SERVICES

The various facilities and services offered for Reservation on the Website are described according to categories and types of classification. The photographs and graphic elements are presented for information purposes only and are intended as examples, but are not contractually binding.

The Hire Shops undertake to supply equipment of equivalent quality and technique to the category reserved.

Depending on the hire shop, the customer will need to enter their first name, height, weight and shoe size for the equipment they require.

The various items of equipment are available subject to confirmation by the Company. This confirmation is sent by e-mail to the address provided by the Customer.

ARTICLE 2: RESERVATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2.1- TO MAKE A RESERVATION, THE CUSTOMER :

  1. Choose a ski resort.
  2. Indicates a rental period from 1 to 14 days maximum by selecting its first and last rental days.
  3. Selects the Rental Outlet open on the station and the period previously indicated.
  4. Select the equipment you want by adding the categories of equipment of your choice to your reservation, indicating the first name(s) of the skier(s).
  5. Select the shop's services by adding the services of your choice to your reservation
  6. Select the optional insurance and promo code if applicable.
  7. Either log in if they already have an account, create an account, or make a quick reservation in "guest" mode.
  8. Select your type of payment (full or partial), your method of payment (bank card, Paypal) and then read the General Terms and Conditions of Rental ("GTC").
  9. Once you have accepted the terms and conditions, proceed to payment.

2.2 - E-CODE PARTNERS

Purchasing e-codes:
The Customer may purchase e-code gifts
on certain EKOSPORT-RENT
partner websites that are valid on the EKOSPORT-RENT website.

How e-codes work:
They give access to discounts in the form of a fixed amount in euros. This discount is valid on the total amount of the equipment in the basket (excluding administration fees, services, multiride
option and insurance). 
Once the code has been applied, if there is still a balance to pay online, the Customer must settle the transaction using the payment method of their choice (payment by bank card or paypal).
 If the amount of the gift e-code exceeds the total amount of the material in the basket, the unused amount will be lost.
 E-codes cannot be accumulated. E-codes are valid until 30 April following the date of purchase of the e-code.

E-code refund:
The Customer has previously purchased the e-code from an EKOSPORT-RENT
partner. It is therefore this partner who holds the purchase transaction for this gift e-code. The refund may be made by the partner in accordance with its own terms and conditions of sale.
 

2.3 PAYMENT BY BANK CARD OR PAYPAL

In the case of payment by credit card or Paypal, online reservations can be made up to 24 hours before the start of the rental period, depending on the Rental Shop.

The Reservation only becomes effective once the Company has received the agreement of Paybox Services SAS, which checks payments by bank card or Paypal.

On receipt of Paybox Services SAS's agreement, an e-mail confirming that the Reservation has been taken into account is sent to the Customer, with confirmation of the details of the equipment reserved, the Rental period and the price, as well as the names and contact details of the Hire Outlet.  This confirmation must be presented by the Customer to the Hire Outlet on the first day of the Hire period.

In the event that payment by bank card or Paypal is rejected, the Client will be informed directly of this rejection on the website. The Company reserves the right to purely and simply cancel the Reservation previously recorded.

  • In its capacity as a financial institution, the Insurer is subject to the legal obligations arising principally from the Monetary and Financial Code with regard to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism and, in this respect, implements a contract monitoring process which may lead to the drafting of a declaration of suspicion or an asset freeze measure.  The data and documents concerning the Insured are kept for a period of five (5) years from the closure of the contract or the termination of the relationship.
  • His/her personal data may also be used as part of a process to combat insurance fraud which may lead, where appropriate, to registration on a list of persons presenting a risk of fraud.

In this context, personal data concerning him/her (or concerning persons who are parties to or interested in the contract) may be processed by all authorised persons working within the entities of the Insurer Group as part of the fight against fraud. This data may also be sent to authorised personnel of organisations directly involved in a fraud (other insurance organisations or intermediaries; judicial authorities, mediators, arbitrators, court officers, ministerial officers; third-party organisations authorised by a legal provision and, where applicable, the victims of acts of fraud or their representatives). In the event of a fraud alert, the data is kept for a maximum of six (6) months to qualify the alert and then deleted, unless the alert proves to be relevant. In the event of a relevant alert, the data is kept for up to five (5) years from the closure of the fraud file, or until the end of the legal proceedings and the applicable limitation periods.

 SUBROGATION

MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE is subrogated to the extent of the compensation paid and the services provided by it in the rights and actions of the Insured, against any person responsible for the facts which motivated its intervention. When the services provided in execution of the agreement are covered in whole or in part by another company or institution, MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE is subrogated to the rights and actions of the Insured against this company or institution.


 PRESCRIPTION

In application of article L 114-1 of the Insurance Code, any action arising from this contract is time-barred after two years from the event giving rise to it. This period is extended to ten years for death cover, with actions by beneficiaries being time-barred no later than thirty years from the date of the event.
 

However, this period does not run :

  • in the event of a concealment, omission, false or inaccurate statement about the risk, from the day the Insurer became aware of it;
  • in the event of a claim, only from the day on which the interested parties became aware of it, if they prove that they were unaware of it until then. When the Insured's action against the Insurer is based on recourse by a third party, this prescription period only runs from the day on which this third party took legal action against the Insured or was compensated by the Insured. This limitation period may be interrupted, in accordance with Article L 114-2 of the Insurance Code, by one of the following ordinary causes of interruption:
  • recognition by the debtor of the right of the person against whom he was prescribing (article 2240 of the Civil Code);
  • a legal claim, even in summary proceedings, until the proceedings are extinguished. The same applies if the claim is brought before a court that does not have jurisdiction or if the act of bringing the claim before the court is annulled due to a procedural defect (articles 2241 and 2242 of the Civil Code). The interruption is null and void if the plaintiff withdraws his claim or allows the proceedings to lapse, or if his claim is definitively dismissed (article 2243 of the Civil Code);
  • a protective measure taken in application of the Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures or an act of forced execution (article 2244 of the Civil Code).

It should be noted that:
A summons issued to one of the joint and several debtors by way of an application to the court or a writ of execution or the acknowledgement by the debtor of the right of the person against whom he was prescribing interrupts the prescription period against all the others, even against their heirs.
 On the other hand, a summons served on one of the heirs of a joint and several debtor or the acknowledgement of that heir does not interrupt the limitation period in respect of the other co-heirs, even in the case of a mortgage claim, if the obligation is divisible. Such interpellation or acknowledgement interrupts the limitation period, as against the other co-debtors, only in respect of the share for which that heir is liable.
 To interrupt the limitation period for the whole, in respect of the other co-debtors, a summons must be served on all the heirs of the deceased debtor or an acknowledgement made by all those heirs (article 2245 of the Civil Code).
 The interpellation made to the principal debtor or his acknowledgement interrupts the prescription period against the guarantor (article 2246 of the Civil Code).
 

The limitation period may also be interrupted by :

  • the appointment of an expert following a claim ;
  • sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (sent by the Insurer to the Insured in respect of the action for payment of the premium, and sent by the Insured to the Insurer in respect of the settlement of the claim).

SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES

Any dispute arising between the Insurer and the Insured relating to the determination and payment of benefits shall be submitted by the most diligent party, failing amicable resolution, to the competent jurisdiction of the Insured's domicile in accordance with the provisions of Article R 114-1 of the Insurance Code.


 FALSE DECLARATIONS   

When they change the object of the risk or diminish our opinion of it:
 - Any concealment or intentionally false statement on your part will render the contract null and void. Any premiums paid shall be retained by us and we shall be entitled to demand payment of premiums due, as provided for in Article L 113.8 of the French Insurance Code.
- Any omission or misrepresentation on your part, where bad faith is not established, will result in the cancellation of the contract 10 days after the notification sent to you by registered letter and/or the application of the reduction in compensation p

PREAMBLE

On behalf of the EKOSPORT-RENT Shops (hereinafter referred to as the "Rental Shops"), the Company registers on this Website reservations (hereinafter referred to as the "Reservation(s)") by the Customer of various equipment intended for board sports (hereinafter referred to as the "Rental").

The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions of Hire (hereinafter "GTC") is to define the terms and conditions for Reserving and Hiring the various items of equipment and services on the Website. All Reservations and Rentals are subject to compliance with these GTC.

Confirmation by the Customer of a Reservation on the Web Site implies full acceptance of these T&Cs.

These General Terms and Conditions may be amended at the sole initiative of the Company. The conditions applicable to a Reservation and Rental are those in force on the Website at the date of the Reservation.

ARTICLE 1: FACILITIES AND SERVICES

The various facilities and services offered for Reservation on the Website are described according to categories and types of classification. The photographs and graphic elements are presented for information purposes only and are intended as examples, but are not contractually binding.

The Hire Shops undertake to supply equipment of equivalent quality and technique to the category reserved.

Depending on the hire shop, the customer will need to enter their first name, height, weight and shoe size for the equipment they require.

The various items of equipment are available subject to confirmation by the Company. This confirmation is sent by e-mail to the address provided by the Customer.

ARTICLE 2: RESERVATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2.1- TO MAKE A RESERVATION, THE CUSTOMER :

  1. Choose a ski resort.
  2. Indicates a rental period from 1 to 14 days maximum by selecting its first and last rental days.
  3. Selects the Rental Outlet open on the station and the period previously indicated.
  4. Select the equipment you want by adding the categories of equipment of your choice to your reservation, indicating the first name(s) of the skier(s).
  5. Select the shop's services by adding the services of your choice to your reservation
  6. Select the optional insurance and promo code if applicable.
  7. Either log in if they already have an account, create an account, or make a quick reservation in "guest" mode.
  8. Select your type of payment (full or partial), your method of payment (bank card, Paypal) and then read the General Terms and Conditions of Rental ("GTC").
  9. Once you have accepted the terms and conditions, proceed to payment.

2.2 - E-CODE PARTNERS

Purchasing e-codes:
The Customer may purchase e-code gifts
on certain EKOSPORT-RENT
partner websites that are valid on the EKOSPORT-RENT website.

How e-codes work:
They give access to discounts in the form of a fixed amount in euros. This discount is valid on the total amount of the equipment in the basket (excluding administration fees, services, multiride
option and insurance). 
Once the code has been applied, if there is still a balance to pay online, the Customer must settle the transaction using the payment method of their choice (payment by bank card or paypal).
 If the amount of the gift e-code exceeds the total amount of the material in the basket, the unused amount will be lost.
 E-codes cannot be accumulated. E-codes are valid until 30 April following the date of purchase of the e-code.

E-code refund:
The Customer has previously purchased the e-code from an EKOSPORT-RENT
partner. It is therefore this partner who holds the purchase transaction for this gift e-code. The refund may be made by the partner in accordance with its own terms and conditions of sale.
 

2.3 PAYMENT BY BANK CARD OR PAYPAL

In the case of payment by credit card or Paypal, online reservations can be made up to 24 hours before the start of the rental period, depending on the Rental Shop.

The Reservation only becomes effective once the Company has received the agreement of Paybox Services SAS, which checks payments by bank card or Paypal.

On receipt of Paybox Services SAS's agreement, an e-mail confirming that the Reservation has been taken into account is sent to the Customer, with confirmation of the details of the equipment reserved, the Rental period and the price, as well as the names and contact details of the Hire Outlet.  This confirmation must be presented by the Customer to the Hire Outlet on the first day of the Hire period.

In the event that payment by bank card or Paypal is rejected, the Client will be informed directly of this rejection on the website. The Company reserves the right to purely and simply cancel the Reservation previously recorded.

  • in the event of a concealment, omission, false or inaccurate statement about the risk, from the day the Insurer became aware of it;
  • in the event of a claim, only from the day on which the interested parties became aware of it, if they prove that they were unaware of it until then. When the Insured's action against the Insurer is based on recourse by a third party, this prescription period only runs from the day on which this third party took legal action against the Insured or was compensated by the Insured. This limitation period may be interrupted, in accordance with Article L 114-2 of the Insurance Code, by one of the following ordinary causes of interruption:
  • recognition by the debtor of the right of the person against whom he was prescribing (article 2240 of the Civil Code);
  • a legal claim, even in summary proceedings, until the proceedings are extinguished. The same applies if the claim is brought before a court that does not have jurisdiction or if the act of bringing the claim before the court is annulled due to a procedural defect (articles 2241 and 2242 of the Civil Code). The interruption is null and void if the plaintiff withdraws his claim or allows the proceedings to lapse, or if his claim is definitively dismissed (article 2243 of the Civil Code);
  • a protective measure taken in application of the Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures or an act of forced execution (article 2244 of the Civil Code).

It should be noted that:
A summons issued to one of the joint and several debtors by way of an application to the court or a writ of execution or the acknowledgement by the debtor of the right of the person against whom he was prescribing interrupts the prescription period against all the others, even against their heirs.
 On the other hand, a summons served on one of the heirs of a joint and several debtor or the acknowledgement of that heir does not interrupt the limitation period in respect of the other co-heirs, even in the case of a mortgage claim, if the obligation is divisible. Such interpellation or acknowledgement interrupts the limitation period, as against the other co-debtors, only in respect of the share for which that heir is liable.
 To interrupt the limitation period for the whole, in respect of the other co-debtors, a summons must be served on all the heirs of the deceased debtor or an acknowledgement made by all those heirs (article 2245 of the Civil Code).
 The interpellation made to the principal debtor or his acknowledgement interrupts the prescription period against the guarantor (article 2246 of the Civil Code).
 

The limitation period may also be interrupted by :

  • the appointment of an expert following a claim ;
  • sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (sent by the Insurer to the Insured in respect of the action for payment of the premium, and sent by the Insured to the Insurer in respect of the settlement of the claim).

SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES

Any dispute arising between the Insurer and the Insured relating to the determination and payment of benefits shall be submitted by the most diligent party, failing amicable resolution, to the competent jurisdiction of the Insured's domicile in accordance with the provisions of Article R 114-1 of the Insurance Code.
