ARTICLE 3 – PURPOSE OF THE SITE

The rental grants the Tenant a personal right to enjoy the items concerned. This effective enjoyment is ensured by the provision of the equipment by Les Petits Montagnards. This rental is distinct from sale or usufruct.

The sale of second-hand items results in a transfer of ownership to the Buyer, who becomes the holder of the rights relating to ownership of the items, including the right of use, disposal and definitive enjoyment.

ARTICLE 4 – RENTAL PROCESS

1. Rental equipment:
   Les Petits Montagnards acquires new ski clothing and leisure equipment for rental purposes. It can also receive equipment for BRAND PARTNERS to manage and market the rental.

• Check the condition of the product;
• Evaluate the rental amount and the deposit;
• Takes photographs;
• Uploads the material to the site.

   Ordering a garment or other material requires the following information:

• Clothing reference;
• Duration of the rental;

• Amount of the deposit;
• Equipment return date: rental end date + 1 working day.

The order will only be shipped once the deposit has been paid by the Tenant (unless this is automatically deducted). Exceptionally, the order may be sent before receipt of the deposit, without releasing the Tenant from his obligation to pay any costs related to loss or damage to the equipment.

b.1 – Unavailability of equipment
If an item is unavailable after ordering, the Tenant will be informed by email or telephone. Les Petits Montagnards will offer an item of similar quality and size, but not necessarily of the same brand. If no replacement is possible, the order will be cancelled and refunded.

If the Tenant accepts the proposal, Les Petits Montagnards undertakes to ship the new equipment within 24 hours. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the Tenant, for a fixed amount of 35 euros including tax.

If the Tenant chooses equipment from a higher price range, he will be liable for the price difference as well as shipping costs of 35 euros including tax.

In the event of non-return of the order, even partial, as well as non-compliance with the contractual instructions, or in the event of impossibility of collecting the deposit, we will initiate appropriate legal proceedings, including filing a complaint with the competent authorities.

Upon receipt of the equipment, Les Petits Montagnards will carry out a check. Any equipment returned in a condition different from that loaned will be considered damaged, and the Renter will be informed by email.

Special case of textiles :

• In the event of minor damage (lost button, undone stitching, stain from normal use), no penalty will be applied.
• In the event of more significant damage (hole, cigarette burn, multiple stains), a supplement corresponding to the cost of restoration will be charged, as well as a flat rate of 20 euros including tax for treatment. This amount will be taken from the deposit.
