3. CLIENT STATUS AND OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY
The Client remains the owner or holder of the right to operate the property and retains the status of landlord or accommodation provider in relation to travellers and platforms.
The Client remains responsible for the authorisations, declarations, co-ownership rules, insurance, tax obligations and regulatory obligations applicable to the property.
The Service Provider may provide material or informational assistance with these matters, without replacing the Client in the legal obligations incumbent upon them.
4. ABSENCE OF DECISION-MAKING POWER OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER
The Service Provider has no autonomous power to decide on the conclusion of a rental.
The Service Provider does not independently decide:
- whether to accept or refuse a booking request;
- whether to cancel a booking;
- whether to modify a booking or its conditions;
- whether to grant an exception to the rental conditions;
- whether to set a price or commercial condition against the Client's wishes;
- whether to sign a rental agreement on behalf of the Client.
Where a decision falling within the landlord's responsibility is required, it belongs exclusively to the Client.
The Service Provider may forward the request, inform the Client and, following the Client's decision or instructions, carry out the necessary technical operations.
5. PLATFORM ACCOUNTS
Airbnb, Booking, Abritel, Smoobu or other accounts and tools used for the property remain attached to the Client.
The Service Provider may receive the technical access necessary to perform the services, without any transfer of ownership of the account or of landlord status.
The Client retains control over the essential rental settings, including:
- booking conditions;
- cancellation conditions;
- house rules;
- availability;
- financial settings;
- the bank account receiving payments.
6. PRICES AND PRICING RECOMMENDATIONS
The Client retains the final decision regarding prices and the main commercial rental conditions.
The Service Provider may prepare pricing analyses, simulations and recommendations.
These recommendations do not constitute a decision to set the price.
When the Client activates an automatic pricing function on their own account, it operates according to the parameters and rules previously validated by the Client.
7. BOOKING MONITORING
The Service Provider may provide technical and operational monitoring of bookings, including:
- transmission of information;
- practical communication with travellers;
- calendar monitoring;
- technical assistance relating to platforms.
Any request requiring a decision by the landlord is forwarded to the Client.
The Service Provider has no autonomous power to accept or refuse a booking.
8. CANCELLATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS
Any decision to cancel, modify or grant an exception to the conditions of a booking falls within the Client's responsibility when a decision by the landlord is required.
The Service Provider may communicate with the traveller, inform the Client and carry out the necessary technical procedures following the Client's decision or instructions.
The Service Provider does not independently decide on the cancellation or contractual modification.
9. COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS
Rent, stay fees, deposits and other amounts due under the rental are collected directly by the Client or by the platform, according to the arrangements chosen by the Client.
The Service Provider does not collect rent on behalf of the Client, does not retain it, does not transfer it and does not hold any security deposit on the Client's behalf.
The Service Provider's services are invoiced separately.
10. CONTENT, LISTINGS AND DIGITAL ASSISTANCE
The Service Provider may prepare, write, photograph, film, format or optimise content intended for digital media, based on information provided by the Client.
The Client remains responsible for the accuracy of information relating to the property and retains control of their account and rental settings.
Any publication or activation requiring a decision by the landlord remains subject to the Client's approval.
The Service Provider may provide technical assistance with the Client's accounts and tools within the limits of the access granted to it.
This assistance does not transfer landlord status to the Service Provider.

This communication may include, in particular:
- practical arrival arrangements;
- operation of equipment;
- instructions;

- technical difficulties;

In the event of damage or an incident, the Service Provider informs the Client and gathers, where possible, the available material evidence.
