1. Introduction: The following general contract conditions regulate the terms and conditions applicable to the lease agreement entered into between the client and 100X S.r.l. or the owner of the apartment, for temporary purposes, concerning the property chosen by the Client.
2. Reservation and Contract Conclusion
2.1. Property Search: The Client may request information regarding the availability and prices of the requested property by accessing the booking engine from the website www.housmart.eu, selecting "Book" in the "Find Apartments" section. The reservation process involves entering the requested period and selecting the available apartment, specifying the corresponding rate according to the number of people who will use the property.
2.2. Providing Personal Information: In the event of correspondence between the Client's request and the Company's offer, the Client must enter the requested personal data, verify the mandatory services, and choose any optional services.
2.3. Reservation Confirmation: The Client may now confirm the reservation by proceeding with the advance payment of the lease and services through the proposed payment methods, after accepting these general and tariff conditions. The receipt of the agreed amount is considered as a confirmatory deposit. This amount will be collected as payment for the lease fee and services once the online check-in is completed for rentals under 30 days and once the lease contract is signed for rentals over 30 days, which require the drafting and registration of lease contracts. In the event of non-conclusion of the lease contract, the deposit will be refunded only if the selected rate at the time of booking allows it.
3. Price and Payment
3.1. The Rental Price stated upon confirmation corresponds to the price for the entire rental period. It is understood that unless otherwise specified in the Booking Confirmation, this price includes initial cleaning, energy and gas consumption, heating and water, internet connection, and any other included services. For monthly rentals, electricity and gas expenses are included in the price up to a maximum of €70 per month; meter readings (electricity and gas) will be taken at check-in and check-out. In case of consumption exceeding this amount, the difference will be deducted from the Security Deposit (art.4). The average cost per kWh of electricity is €0.90, while the average cost of a cubic meter of gas is €2.00. The Balance corresponds to the difference between the two and must be paid within 14 days before the start of the rental period or on the same day. Extra Costs refer to our optional services, such as weekly cleaning, hospitality management, and internet access. These services will be invoiced with a 22% VAT.
3.2. The Client shall make payment for the property in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Booking Confirmation. For contracts with a duration of more than one month, the rent payment must be made in advance within 7 days from the beginning of the following rental month.
3.3. In case of late payment, the Company may assign the credit recovery operation to an external company or a legal professional, up to obtaining a court order. The reimbursement of procedural and legal expenses will be borne by the Client.
4. Security Deposit
The Client shall pay a security deposit upon entering the apartment, according to the terms and conditions specified in the Booking Confirmation. The required security deposit depends on the duration of the lease: Duration less than 15 days: €500, Duration equal to or greater than 15 days: €1,000. Exceptions are provided for apartments of particular value and/or the presence of animals. This security deposit will be fully refunded to the Client by the Company within 15 days from the termination of the Contract. It is understood that in case of damage caused by the Client to the property and/or higher energy or gas consumption exceeding the flat rate of €70, the Company shall have the right to retain the aforementioned security deposit, without prejudice to its right to claim compensation for any further damages.
5. Replacement of the Property
The Company reserves the right to replace the property with another property of equal or superior quality if, due to force majeure or any other reason beyond its control, it is unable to ensure the enjoyment of the property to the Client. If the Client, for reasonable and proven reasons, rejects the property offered as a replacement, the Company will refund the amounts paid by the Client. No further amount shall be due from the Company to the Client for any reason.
