Otherwise, the Client or his Guests will be denied access. If animals are brought into the Accommodation in violation of this prohibition, a penalty of € 200.00 will be applied. 9.4 - It is forbidden to hang and dry laundry inside the flat, as it promotes humidity and mould, compromising the Accommodation's preservation and the healthiness of the rooms.

Immediate removal shall result in the Client losing the entire amount paid, without prejudice to further compensation for damages suffered by the Agency.
10 - Accommodation Facilities - All flats are delivered fully furnished. The fee is agreed at the time of reservation and includes the supply of water, electricity, gas, as well as the first cleaning of the premises and the first supply of linen as provided for by Art. 4 D.L. n. 50/2017, converted with amendments into L. n. 96/2017. Further services such as, but not limited to, the supply of food and beverages is not provided for by current legislation and the Client by accepting this Contract acknowledges and accepts this. Mattress covers and pillow covers may not be used as bed linen, under penalty of damages. In the event that the accommodation has more beds than are necessary for the declared Guests, only the beds that have been prepared with sheets and quilts shall be allowed to be used. The use of beds with only a mattress cover and bedspread is prohibited. Improper use of unassigned beds may result in additional cleaning and laundry costs being charged. The Client shall notify the Agency of any defects in the accommodation unit or furnishings within 24 hours of delivery of the premises. Failing such notification, the aforementioned defects and discrepancies shall be presumed to be the Client's fault. If the Client notices an inadequate level of cleanliness on arrival at the flat he/she must notify the Agency by the morning of the day after arrival so that the Agency can tidy up the property unit. It is forbidden to keep doors and windows open with the air conditioner running.
11 - Departure - The Client is obliged to vacate the Accommodation no later than the check-out time indicated in the reservation information. The flat must be vacated by the established time to allow the staff to check the state of conservation and cleanliness of the flat. Under no circumstances will it be possible to postpone the check-out time. It is essential to respect this time, as staff must have time to clean and sanitise the accommodation properly before the arrival of subsequent Guests. The flat must be left tidy, clean and free of rubbish, bottles and boxes, with the inside shelves of the furniture clean, with the dishes washed and placed in the cupboards. Appliances must be left clean and the floor swept. Should the flat not be left tidy, additional cleaning costs will be charged over and above those already paid at the time of reservation. The Client, aware of the damage that he/she may cause to the Agency and to any subsequent Guests arriving in the event of a delay in vacating the Accommodation at the time of check-out, undertakes to compensate the Agency for any damage thus caused, including the expenses incurred by the Agency in removing any of the Client's belongings and personal effects left inside the Accommodation after check-out, it being understood that in such case the Agency shall assume all obligations of custody.
12 - Security deposit - The Client is entirely responsible for the safekeeping of the Accommodation and its contents from the moment of his/her arrival until the moment of his/her departure. The Client undertakes to take the utmost care of the flat (walls, floors, etc.), its furniture and domestic equipment (crockery, fridge, mattresses, etc.). Any broken or damaged items must be compensated. At the time of reservation, the Client is required to pay a deposit. The deposit is a guarantee for any damage or breakage caused during the stay, for the commitment to return the flat tidy and clean and for the respect of the rules of civil coexistence including the hours of silence from 11pm to 8am and from 1pm to 3pm. In the event of loss or failure to return the keys, the Client shall be charged the cost of replacing the locks, with an advance payment of € 200.00. On departure the condition of the flat will be checked and in case of irregularities a charge will be made to the credit card. The amount of the deposit will be retained in case of damages found in the flat or for non-observance of the cleaning rules. If there are no damages or irregularities in the cleaning conditions, the refund will be made from the third day after check-out.
13 - Agency's responsibility - The Agency acts exclusively as an intermediary between the Client and the owner of the flat. Consequently, it assumes no responsibility for any damage to the Accommodation, breakages, malfunctions, accidents, thefts, losses, delays or other inconveniences that may occur during the stay. The Client expressly exonerates the Agency from any responsibility for direct or indirect damage caused by third parties or by the blameless interruption of services. In any case, the Agency undertakes to provide assistance to report and facilitate the resolution of any problems, without this implying the assumption of any direct responsibility. Any claims for damages shall be addressed exclusively to the owner of the flat, through the Agency, who shall merely transmit the communication without assuming any obligation to intervene or guarantee.
14 - Protection of privacy - The Client and the Agency mutually authorise each other to communicate their personal data to third parties in relation to fulfilments connected with the rental relationship pursuant to EU Regulation 2016/679 and Legislative Decree 196/2003 as amended. The personal data provided to the Agency shall be processed by the same in compliance with said Regulation, solely and exclusively for purposes related to the provision of the reservation service, the required public security, administrative, accounting and tax fulfilments and the sending of electronic communications for the updating of rates and offers. The Client is obliged to consult the Extended Information Notice at the following address: https://www.hostsolution.net/privacy-cookies-policy The sending of the deposit expresses the Client's acceptance to the processing of personal data for the purposes set out above.
15 - Special rules - The Agency reserves the right to inspect the premises in order to verify their scrupulous maintenance. Should the inspection reveal serious non-observance, the lease shall be understood to be terminated by right, with immediate effect, for non-fulfilment attributable to the Client, and the Agency may order the immediate evacuation of the premises, using, if necessary, the police force, without prejudice to the right to request compensation for any damages and reimbursement of costs for interventions by specialised personnel due to incorrect and negligent use of the flat's equipment. Personnel employed by the Agency or by its trusted companies shall be authorised to enter the flats in case of need even in the absence of the occupants. The Agency reserves the right, in case of unforeseen circumstances in the assignment of the booked flat, to replace it with another one having similar characteristics. In this case, if the replacement flat is more expensive, the Agency shall bear the additional costs. When making the reservation on the website, the Client selects the accommodation independently, taking into account the characteristics and equipment indicated in the advertisement. Once the reservation is confirmed, it will not be possible to change the assigned accommodation for any reason. Any specific preferences (number, floor, orientation, view, etc.) must be assessed by the Client prior to the reservation, as the Agency does not guarantee any possibility of subsequent variation. After the reservation has been confirmed, should the Client need to make any changes to the reservation (such as changes to the arrival date, departure date, number of nights or number of Guests), he/she must submit a written request to the Agency. The Agency reserves the right to evaluate the request, without this entailing any obligation to accept it or any right of the Client to obtain the requested change. The pictures of the furnishings published on the site are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a binding contractual element. Any differences between the photographic representations and the actual state of the Accommodation shall not constitute grounds for a claim or request for compensation by the Client. The data on the energy performance of each property unit are archived and available for consultation at the Agency's office.
16 - Applicable Law and Jurisdiction - This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Italy. The Court of Venice shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising out of this Contract and in any case related to it, including those relating to its validity, effectiveness, interpretation, execution and termination.
17 - Acceptance - Pursuant to and for the purposes of Articles 1341 and 1342 of the Civil Code, the Client declares that he/she has carefully read and examined all the contractual conditions set out above, that he/she has understood their content in every part and accepts them in full and unconditionally, undertaking to comply with them without reservation.
