Sun Location offers services for Internet users, including:

  • Searching and consulting offers of Products (holiday rentals).

Holiday accommodation offers come exclusively from "Merchant" partner agencies which provide Sun Location with all the information about holiday rentals (photos, detailed descriptions, location & price).
The new rental offers are automatically published through daily computer programs with the important data needed to promote the products on the website. Advertisements for products which no longer have availability are automatically disabled.

All published advertisements are randomly ranked on the site, without setting a display priority based on partner agencies ("Merchants").

Sun Location works exclusively with reliable and reputable agencies, providing the technical solutions for exporting/importing data (through feeds) for holiday rentals. These agencies also provide, availability & prices in real time, as well as a 100% secure online payment solution, through webservices.

Reservations made by Customers are sent directly to Merchants. Merchants and Customers must sign a contract which defines the rental conditions (description, rent and charges, insurance, period...). Sun Location is not a real estate agency and does not act as an intermediary of the real estate nor as an agent of the owner. As a content host, Sun Location is under no legal obligation to monitor content transmitted or stored via its website. 

Sun Location cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for the content or lack of veracity of the information included in the Advertisements on the Sunlocation.com Website insofar as these advertisements are written by third-party Merchants under their sole responsibility.

Therefore, they acknowledge that they cannot avail themselves of the aforementioned withdrawal period.

Termination of the contract / modification of the reservation

The customer can cancel the travel reservation at any time before departure (cancellation). The conditions of modifications and cancellations of a reservation in force are those applied by the Merchant, and accepted by the Customer, on the day of the booking procedure.

Depending on the time of termination and the contractual terms and conditions issued by the service provider, the customer may be required to pay a cancellation fee as specified in the Merchant's specific terms and conditions.

Insurance

It is recommended that the Customer takes out at least one trip cancellation insurance. Travel sickness insurance is also useful in other European countries, as even small accidents can involve considerable expenses, which are not necessarily covered by the usual health insurance.

Information on passport, visa, currency and health provisions

Each customer is personally responsible for compliance with the national and foreign regulations applicable to entry and exit from the territory, health, passport and visa.

Works committee

Any customer making a booking must realise that Sun Location cannot grant a discount  or rebate to the works councils and that it is thus impossible for us to modify a booking made in order to obtain a discount through a works council.

Stays

The Customer is responsible for damages caused during their stay (except if they result from normal wear or equipment defect) and certain risks related to their presence (fire, water damage...) for which they must be insured.

Sun Location will not compensate a Customer for any non-compliance between the hosting and the advert on the website or if there is a defect in the hosting which led the Customer to refuse the rental.
