The referral (saisine) is made online (www.avenir-conso.com) or by post, within one year of the written complaint addressed to JUDVI (art. L612-1 et seq. of the French consumer code).

I-8. Applicable law and language

These terms are governed by French law. In the event of any discrepancy between language versions, the French version prevails.

II-1. Option and booking

A date may be held as a free option for 14 days. The booking becomes firm upon signature of the contract together with the first payment.

II-2. Price and payment schedule

The price and the payment schedule (échéancier) are stated in the contract. Any instalment whose due date has already passed on the day of signature is payable upon signature. The balance is payable no later than the date stated in the contract. Failing this, JUDVI sends a formal notice (mise en demeure); after a period of eight days, it may terminate the contract, article II-3 then applying.

II-3. Cancellation by the Client

Any cancellation must be notified in writing.

Cancellation within 14 days of signature: full refund, for contracts concluded more than six months before the event.

After this period: 1. the amounts paid remain vested in JUDVI, up to the limit of the instalments due (dans la limite de l'échéancier exigible), as a fixed termination indemnity (indemnité forfaitaire de résiliation); 2. the instalments due on the day of cancellation remain payable; 3. amounts paid beyond the schedule are refunded within 30 days.

A termination statement (décompte de résiliation) is provided to the Client.

II-4. Postponement

The date may be postponed once free of charge, within 18 months of the initial date and subject to availability. Any request made after the 30th day before the event is treated as a cancellation. A second postponement is possible subject to a postponement fee and repricing.

II-5. Cancellation by JUDVI

In the event of force majeure or inability to host the event, JUDVI offers a new date or refunds in full the amounts paid, to the exclusion of any other compensation.

II-6. Conduct and safety

The Client designates a person in charge who is present throughout the event. The Client complies with the venue's capacity, the safety instructions and the integrity of the premises. Only one event is hosted at a time.

II-7. Damage and restoration

The premises are returned in their initial state. Damage, losses and exceptional cleaning are invoiced at actual cost, upon supporting documents.

II-8. External service providers

The Client freely chooses the Client's service providers. The Client communicates them to JUDVI at least 15 days before the event and provides their professional civil liability insurance certificates. Each provider handles its own installation, dismantling and waste removal on the same day.

Amplified music outdoors ceases at 11:00 p.m. It may continue indoors until 4:00 a.m., with doors and windows closed. JUDVI may stop any music in the event of a breach or nuisance.

II-10. Accommodation

Where the contract includes the dormitory in the private hire, it is invoiced under the contract; the tourist tax (taxe de séjour) remains due in addition, per adult and per night, paid on site. Any other accommodation — château rooms, or the dormitory outside a private hire — is the subject of separate bookings, governed by Part IV and invoiced separately.

II-11. Alcoholic beverages

JUDVI does not sell alcoholic beverages. The Client may bring them; serving them is the responsibility of the Client or of the Client's caterer. Serving them to minors or to intoxicated persons is prohibited. JUDVI may stop the service in the event of danger.
