1. Scope of our Service
Through the website, we (Aristidougroup.com or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies and/or third party licensors) provide an online platform through which all types of temporary/long term accommodations (for example flats, offices, shops “accommodation(s)”), can advertise their properties for reservation/renting, and through which visitors to the website can make such reservations. By making a reservation through Aristidougroup.com, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the accommodation provider at which you book. From the point at which you make your reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the provider, transmitting the details of your reservation to the relevant accommodation provider and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the accommodation provider. When rendering our services, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by accommodation providers (companies that belong to the Group or affiliated companies or associates). As such, the accommodation providers are given access to an extranet through which they are fully responsible for updating all rates, availability and other information which is displayed on our website. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our services we will not verify if, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our website or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each accommodation provider remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including the rates and availability) displayed on our website. Our website does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating of any accommodations made available. Our services are made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider, scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, products or services available on our website for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.
2. Prices
The prices on our site are highly competitive. All prices on Aristidougroup.com website are the monthly rent for each unit quoted in euros.

3. Privacy and Cookies
Your privacy is important to us. We value your trust and are committed to protecting and safeguarding any personal information you give us. This document, which we update from time to time, describes how we use and process your personal data and how we use cookies. It also tells you how you can contact us if you have questions about your personal information. Privacy What kind of personal information does Aristidougroup.com use? When you make a reservation, you’ll be asked for your name, address, telephone number, email address, payment details, the names of guests traveling with you and your preferences for your stay.

When you make a reservation, our system registers through which means and from which websites you’ve made your reservation. We may also receive information about you when you use certain social media services.
4. Free of Charge
Our service is free of charge because, unlike many other parties, we will not charge you for our service or add any additional (reservation) fees to the unit rate.
5. Credit Card
If applicable and available, certain accommodation providers offer the opportunity for reservations to be paid (wholly or partly and as required under the payment policy of the accommodation) to the accommodation provider during the reservation process by means of secure online payment (all to the extent offered and supported by your bank). Payment is safely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the bank account of the accommodation provider through a third party payment processor. For certain rates or special offers, please note that your credit card may be pre-authorized or charged (sometimes without any option for refund) upon reservation and confirmation of the booking. Please check the unit details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. In the event of credit card fraud or unauthorized use of your credit card by third parties, most banks and credit card companies bear the risk and cover all the charges resulting from such fraud or misuse, which may sometimes be subject to a deductible (usually set at EUR 50 (or the equivalent in your local currency)). In order to be indemnified, please make sure that you report this fraud to your credit card provider (in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures) and contact us immediately by email ([email protected]). Please state ‘credit card fraud’ in the subject line of your email and provide us with evidence of the charged deductible (e.g. policy of the credit card company).
6. Cancellation
By making a reservation with an accommodation provider through our website, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of that accommodation provider, and to any additional (delivery) terms and conditions of the accommodation provider (as mentioned/if mentioned on the description of the property) that may apply to your reservation or during your stay, including for services rendered and/or products offered by the accommodation provider. The general cancellation and no-show policy of each accommodation provider is made available on our website on the accommodation information pages, during the reservation procedure and in the confirmation email. Please note that certain rates or special offers are not eligible for cancellation or change. Please check the property details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. Please note that a reservation which requires down payment or (wholly or partly) prepayment may be cancelled (without a prior notice of default or warning) insofar the relevant (remaining) amount(s) cannot be collected in full on the relevant payment date in accordance with the relevant payment policy of the accommodation and the reservation. Late payment, wrong bank, debit or credit card details, invalid credit/debit cards or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account and you shall not be entitled to any refund of any (non-refundable) prepaid amount unless the accommodation agrees or allows otherwise under its (pre)payment and cancellation policy. Generally upon any cancellation at least a full month’s rent is deducted as compensation for the early termination/cancellation of the lease contract. Refund of initial deposit paid (for the accommodation and/or (utility)bills and/or damages) is always calculated after the termination date mutually agreed by the landlord and the tenant (according to the contract signed or early termination notice) and if the difference from the total deposit minus the outstanding bills till the termination date plus any damages is positive then this amount is refunded to the tenant in no more than 15 days, and if the difference is negative this amount should be paid by the tenant in maximum 15 days from the termination date. If you wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation, please revert to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the accommodation provider’s cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy or not be entitled to any repayment of any (pre)paid amount. We recommend that you read the cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy of the accommodation provider carefully prior to making your reservation and remember to make further payments on time as may be required for the relevant reservation.
