Les présentes Conditions Générales ont pour objet de définir les conditions d'utilisation du Site et les relations établies entre le Site et ses Utilisateurs.
L'utilisation ou la participation au service du site web de Indie Campers Central Services Unipessoal Lda. s'exerce, sans exception, à la condition que les utilisateurs adhèrent aux présentes Conditions Générales.
Les conditions générales sont appliquées à toute utilisation du service de la plateforme Indie Campers pour la location de véhicules. L'hôte et le voyageur (tous deux désignés comme "utilisateurs") déclarent comprendre et accepter les présentes conditions générales.
Le site propose un service d'intermédiation entre utilisateurs, où l'hôte met à disposition la location de son véhicule et où le voyageur peut réserver un véhicule disponible sur le site, en l'utilisant dans le cadre d'une location selon les conditions convenues entre les parties.
Le site agit principalement en tant qu'intermédiaire et assistant des utilisateurs, lorsqu'il est nécessaire de valider des éléments et des documents afin de faire de la publicité pour le véhicule ou de procéder à une location. Les utilisateurs doivent respecter les devoirs et obligations assumés lors de la célébration de la transaction.
L'hôte est seul responsable de leurs annonces et services. En effectuant une réservation, les voyageurs signent un contrat directement avec l'hôte et non pas avec Indie Campers qui n’est pas partie contractante au contrat de location ou n'y participent pas de quelque manière qu’il soit.
Indie Campers demande aux Utilisateurs de lire attentivement les présentes Conditions Générales. Il s'agit des Conditions Générales en vertu desquelles les hôtes louent des véhicules aux voyageurs. Les voyageurs acceptent ces conditions lors de la signature du contrat de location.
Les utilisateurs peuvent contacter Indie Campers par l'intermédiaire du service clientèle ou par e-mail via les contacts disponibles sur le site web. Toutefois, les questions relatives au véhicule ou à la location en elle-même doivent être traitées directement entre utilisateurs.
Si Indie Campers doit contacter les utilisateurs, il le fera par téléphone ou par écrit par e-mail ou à l'adresse que les utilisateurs ont fournie à Indie Campers lors de leur inscription sur le site.
Indie Campers se réserve le droit de modifier ces Conditions Générales à tout moment. Les utilisateurs seront informés à l'avance par courrier électronique de toute modification au moins 30 jours avant son entrée en vigueur.
Indie Campers se réserve le droit, dans des situations extraordinaires, d'appliquer les conditions générales d'une manière adaptée (ou ajustée) si et dans la mesure où cela est indispensable pour garantir les intérêts légitimes de la plateforme.
Les transactions sont effectuées par STRIPE qui traite les paiements de manière sécurisée. Stripe Technology Europe, Limited (STEL) est autorisé par l'Electronic Money Institution et réglementé par la Bank of Ireland (numéro de référence : C187865). Indie Campers ne peut être tenu responsable des paiements effectués directement entre les utilisateurs. La plateforme ne garantit que la sécurité des paiements effectués par l'intermédiaire du partenaire STRIPE.
Les voyageurs qui souhaitent faire une réservation via Indie Campers doivent s'inscrire sur le site web, où ils saisiront leurs données personnelles et les preuves de leurs documents. Indie Campers ne sera pas responsable si les informations fournies par l'utilisateur sont incorrectes. Certains documents ne peuvent être insérés qu'après la confirmation de la réservation, mais jamais après la date indiquée dans le chapitre "Conditions de Location".
Chaque utilisateur a à sa disposition un nom d'utilisateur et un mot de passe uniques qui lui permettent d'accéder directement à son profil. L'utilisateur s'engage à conserver ces données, à les garder confidentielles et à ne jamais les communiquer à autrui. L'utilisateur garantit qu'il ne créera qu'un seul "Profil" d'utilisateur.
En cas de non-respect des règles de la plateforme ou de comportement jugé abusif par la plateforme, Indie Campers se réserve le droit de suspendre le compte. L'utilisateur dont le compte est suspendu sera informé par e-mail à l'adresse e-mail indiquée lors de l'inscription. Toutes les données et documents doivent être insérés dans le site sur la page personnelle du voyageur.
La plateforme se compose d'une zone publique et d'une zone privée, auxquelles on peut accéder de différentes manières et avec différentes restrictions :
La zone publique permet l'accès au site, l'utilisation du site en tant qu'utilisateur non identifié, bénéficiant de certains services et fonctionnalités fournis par le site.
L'espace privé est accessible après identification et enregistrement de l'utilisateur. Cette identification nécessite la création préalable d'un profil. L'espace privé permet, entre autres, de faire des demandes de réservation, ainsi que la confirmation ultérieure, la publication d'un véhicule de location et l'édition des informations relatives à la publication d'un véhicule de location.
Voici les conditions minimales d'éligibilité en tant que locataire :
Vous devez être titulaire d'un permis de conduire actuel et valide (non temporaire). Vous devez être approuvé par Indie Campers par le biais d'une vérification d'identité et d'autres vérifications des antécédents que la société exige. Indie Campers a le droit d'annuler une réservation si l'utilisateur ne passe pas le processus de vérification d'identité, et la politique d'annulation applicable est alors mis en place.
Processus de demande :
Le processus de demande est généralement simple et rapide. Après la confirmation de la réservation, nous vous demandons des informations relatives à votre permis de conduire, votre passeport ou votre pièce d'identité officielle afin de nous assurer que vous répondez à nos critères d'admissibilité. Dans la plupart des cas, la vérification de l'admissibilité des conducteurs prend quelques secondes, pour que nous puissions vérifier toutes vos informations. Indie Campers peut utiliser une ou plusieurs sources tierces pour effectuer votre vérification d'admissibilité et ne partagera pas les informations en dehors de ce cadre.
Dans certains cas, nous pouvons avoir besoin d'informations supplémentaires à des fins de vérification, et ces exigences vous seront communiquées par e-mail ou par téléphone, afin que vous soyez prêt quand il sera temps de commencer votre voyage.
Tous les hôtes qui souhaitent placer leurs annonces sur le site web Indie Campers doivent s'inscrire où ils doivent, en plus de créer un profil d'utilisateur, remplir le formulaire de création de publication de manière détaillée et correcte.
Lors de la création de la publication, l'utilisateur devra fournir les informations et la documentation demandées de la manière la plus détaillée possible, ainsi que des photos de son véhicule. Les hôtes des véhicules peuvent être des personnes physiques ou morales.
Si l'hôte choisit d'utiliser l'assurance proposée par la plateforme, une communication incorrecte des informations concernant le véhicule peut entraîner la suppression de son éligibilité, à savoir :
● Poids du véhicule
● Année d'enregistrement
● Valeur des véhicules à l'état neuf
En outre, certains documents doivent être partagés avant toute confirmation de réservation. Les documents requis peuvent être consultés sur cette page.
Tous ces documents doivent être constamment mis à jour. Dans le cas contraire, le véhicule ne pourra plus bénéficier de l'assurance proposée par la plateforme et l'annonce elle-même pourra être suspendue jusqu'à ce que ceux-ci soient partagés et validés par la plateforme. S'il est constaté que les documents partagés jusqu'à cinq jours avant le début d'une réservation ne sont pas à jour, la Plateforme se réserve le droit d'annuler les réservations consécutives jusqu'à leur mise à jour, et l'hôte n'a droit à aucun remboursement. L'hôte accepte le droit de la plateforme de partager ces documents avec les partenaires d'assurance ainsi qu'avec le partenaire de paiement STRIPE. L'hôte s'engage également à partager les coordonnées bancaires avec lesquelles les paiements seront effectués.
Indie Campers se réserve le droit de communiquer des informations concernant les activités de chaque hôte sur la plateforme aux entités du gouvernement local, à savoir, mais sans s'y limiter, leurs revenus et le nombre de réservations.
Indie Campers ne peut en aucun cas être tenu pour responsable des erreurs, omissions ou inexactitudes, volontaires ou non, de la part de l'hôte en ce qui concerne la description et l'évaluation du véhicule.
Suite à une panne ou tout autre type d'incident, une annonce peut être suspendue sur la plateforme, afin de vérifier si ledit Véhicule est apte à la location. Indie Campers se réserve le droit de suspendre tout véhicule proposé à la location si elle estime qu'il y a un risque qui pourrait affecter la qualité du service. La suspension du véhicule peut entraîner l'annulation des réservations futures, et l'hôte du véhicule n'aura droit à aucune compensation pour les réservations futures.
Indie Campers effectuera un contrôle sommaire des informations et documents fournis par l'hôte, en se concentrant sur les éléments relatifs aux caractéristiques du véhicule. Cette vérification sera effectuée au moment de l'enregistrement du véhicule sur le site Internet et ne dispense pas le voyageur de procéder à une vérification au début de la location. Indie Campers se réserve le droit de vérifier les documents à tout moment.
Indie Campers peut, après vérification, retirer toute annonce de véhicule du site ou après avoir reçu des nouvelles d'un ou plusieurs voyageurs insatisfaits de l'état du véhicule et/ou du comportement de l'hôte, ainsi que sur la base du non-respect des présentes Conditions Générales.
Les hôtes doivent se porter garants :
- de la propriété totale du véhicule ou être le gestionnaire du Véhicule, posséder toutes les autorisations et preuves nécessaires, leur permettant de mettre le véhicule à disposition pour la location. L'hôte doit mettre ces autorisations à la disposition du voyageur, par écrit et signé par l'hôte du véhicule
- que les documents et informations partagés sont véridiques et exacts ;
- de la disponibilité du véhicule en parfait état de fonctionnement pour la location ;
- du bon état du véhicule avant le départ en ce qui concerne le nettoyage intérieur et extérieur, les niveaux d'eau et de carburant, etc.
-L'établissement des prix par nuitée relève de l'entière responsabilité de l'hôte et Indie Campers n'intervient pas dans sa définition.
L'hôte peut s'engager, sous engagement d'honneur, à pratiquer des prix finaux inférieurs ou équivalents sur Indie Campers par rapport à ceux proposés sur d'autres plateformes et sur son propre site web, en tenant compte des différents systèmes de calcul des plateformes respectives. Grâce à cet engagement, l'hôte pourra bénéficier de conditions plus favorables et de certains avantages, tels que des points supplémentaires dans le classement de recherche et l'obtention d'un cachet "Garantie Meilleur Prix" par Indie Campers. Les gestionnaires de compte de la plateforme vérifieront constamment les prix du marché et pourront contacter l'hôte en cas de rupture de l'engagement.
En outre, l'hôte doit facturer un prix correspondant à la valeur de son véhicule et de son équipement, ainsi qu'à l'âge et au nombre de kilomètres du véhicule, afin de respecter les normes de la plateforme.
L'hôte s'engage à respecter les exigences minimales de disponibilité requises par la plateforme, qui peuvent être consultées sur le site web.
De même, l'hôte ne pourra pas appliquer de frais ou de coûts supplémentaires pour la consommation de gaz liés aux bouteilles déjà utilisées au début de la location, car il s'agit d'un produit de consommation difficile à mesurer et il doit être inclus dans le prix de la location.
En hébergeant sur la plate-forme Indie Campers, l'hôte accepte de se conformer à nos conditions générales.
En cas de violations répétées ou graves, nous pouvons suspendre ou désactiver définitivement le compte de l'hôte et radier les véhicules.
Afin de protéger notre communauté, les comportements suivants sont interdits et peuvent entraîner la radiation de l'hôte :
Indie Campers peuvent toujours radier un hôte si son comportement et ses actions sont préjudiciables aux objectifs de l'entreprise, vont à l'encontre des obligations légales, sont discriminatoires et nuisent aux voyageurs.
Les utilisateurs interagissent entre eux par l'intermédiaire du site web Indie Campers, étant libres de faire des demandes de renseignements, d'évaluer, de vérifier la disponibilité des véhicules, de faire, d'accepter ou d'annuler des réservations.
L'hôte et le voyageur doivent parvenir à un accord avant de conclure le contrat de location, et avant toute location de véhicule. Les utilisateurs sont contractuellement tenus et doivent respecter les engagements pris depuis la confirmation de la réservation.
Un contrat de location doit être conclu entre l'hôte et le voyageur pour le véhicule ("Contrat de Location"). Le voyageur et l'hôte, lors de la signature du Contrat de Location, sont tenus de respecter les conditions qui y sont définies, en vertu de la règle pacta sunt servanda, ou du principe de la force obligatoire des contrats, lorsque les parties contractantes sont seules responsables du contrat conclu.
L'hôte s'engage à fournir une description actualisée du véhicule, correspondant à ses caractéristiques et à ne pas induire le locataire en erreur sur les caractéristiques du véhicule loué. La plateforme ne peut être tenue responsable en cas de description fausse ou erronée du véhicule.
Pour chaque réservation, l'hôte s'engage à fournir les documents du véhicule. Selon la réglementation en vigueur dans le pays d'immatriculation du véhicule et les exigences en matière d'assurance en vigueur, l'hôte doit fournir l'original ou la copie du certificat d'immatriculation du véhicule, la preuve d'assurance et la preuve d'un contrôle technique à jour. Une copie certifiée conforme du certificat d'immatriculation peut être demandée dans un poste de police afin de renforcer la crédibilité du document en cas de contrôle de police lors d'une location.
En cas de litige entre utilisateurs, ceux-ci s'engagent à agir selon les conclusions communiquées par le service de promotion de conciliation proposé par Indie Campers. La plateforme s'engage à fournir le service de promotion de conciliation dans les plus brefs délais en cas de litige.
Le service de promotion de conciliation sera proposé de manière impartiale, en tenant compte des informations fournies par chacun des utilisateurs impliqués dans le litige. Cette promotion de conciliation est conditionnée par le partage du contrat de location signé par les utilisateurs. Indie Campers s'efforcera, dans la mesure du possible, d'assurer la médiation des litiges conformément aux présentes conditions et à la proposition du Contrat de Location mise à disposition. Après communication des conclusions du litige, les utilisateurs auront 3 jours pour examiner et accepter la proposition de résolution. La résolution de la promotion de conciliation dépend de la bonne volonté des utilisateurs et n'aura jamais, par nature, d'obligations ou de responsabilités envers la plateforme. Si les utilisateurs ne résolvent pas le litige en utilisant le service de promotion de conciliation fourni par la plateforme, ils peuvent faire appel aux autorités compétentes.
Produit d'abonnement exclusif :
Les prix seront indiqués par mois, directement sous forme de coût total par mois sans frais supplémentaires (par exemple, frais de service, d'assurance ou de préparation), à l'exception des frais d'aller simple et des polices kilométriques. Les réservations de durée d'abonnement sont soumises à la durée minimale d'un mois ("Engagement initial minimum") et à la durée maximale de 12 mois.
Exclusivité des produits de location à court terme :
Les frais de location du véhicule sont comptabilisés par nuit, compte tenu de la disponibilité du véhicule faisant l'objet de la réservation.
Commun à tous les produits disponibles sur la plateforme :
Les utilisateurs définissent librement et d'un commun accord la durée de la location. A défaut de définition contraire, par écrit entre les utilisateurs ou dans les options de réservation sur la plateforme, les locations ont commencé à 14h00 et se terminent à 11h00. La plateforme permet aux hôtes de définir les heures de début et de fin de la location, mais uniquement moyennant un coût supplémentaire, qui doit toujours être explicite sur la plateforme.
Le voyageur peut faire une demande de réservation pour un certain véhicule, en indiquant nécessairement les dates auxquelles il souhaite réserver le véhicule. Le voyageur n'est autorisé à commencer la location du véhicule qu'après confirmation de la réservation et du paiement respectif du montant total de la réservation.
Si l'hôte accepte la demande de réservation, qui doit être effectuée dans un délai maximum de 48 heures après la réception de la demande de réservation, Indie Campers en informera le voyageur par courrier électronique, qui aura alors 48 heures pour effectuer le paiement et accepter, sans réserve, les présentes Conditions Générales à l'introduction. Par la suite, le montant correspondant à la location sera débité. L'hôte sera contractuellement obligé et devra respecter les engagements pris depuis l'acceptation de la demande de réservation.
Si l'hôte refuse de réserver son véhicule, Indie Campers en informera automatiquement le voyageur par courrier électronique, et est disposé à proposer, sous réserve de disponibilité, un véhicule équivalent comme alternative. Indie Campers ne peut être tenu responsable du refus d'une demande de réservation. Indie Campers est exonéré de toute responsabilité en cas d'annulation de la réservation par l'hôte ou par le voyageur et ne garantit pas l'exactitude des dates des demandes de réservation indiquées par le voyageur qui souhaite louer le véhicule.
Le voyageur peut prolonger la durée de sa location en demandant une prolongation obligatoire de la réservation. La demande doit être faite avec un minimum de 48 heures avant sa fin. Toute prolongation de la période de location suivra les règles stipulées dans les présentes Conditions Générales. La demande de prolongation doit être faite par l'intermédiaire de Indie Campers et est soumise à l'approbation ultérieure de l'hôte. L'assurance du véhicule doit être prolongée et un paiement supplémentaire sera exigé au moment de la confirmation du changement. Toute prolongation de réservation doit respecter les conditions mises à disposition sur la plateforme à cette même date, à savoir le prix de la location, le prix de l'assurance, les services d'intermédiation, entre autres. Même si l'hôte décide de ne pas facturer de frais supplémentaires pour la prolongation de la location, la plateforme est en droit de facturer tous les services inhérents à la location, tels que les services d'intermédiation et l'assurance.
Dans le cas où le voyageur n'effectue pas la restitution à une date, une heure et un lieu donnés, une redevance de trois fois la valeur, y compris tous les coûts qui y sont associés, sera appliquée par nuit annoncée sur la plateforme. Pour chaque nuit supplémentaire non convenue par les deux parties, l'hôte sera en droit de facturer l'équivalent de trois fois le prix par nuit annoncé sur la plateforme, ainsi que les coûts qui y sont associés. De même, la plateforme aura le droit de facturer la valeur d'assurance journalière, les services d'intermédiation et autres. En outre, la couverture d'assurance pour les jours supplémentaires non signalés et convenus au préalable n'est pas garantie, le voyageur étant entièrement responsable de tout dommage ou coût encouru qui serait autrement couvert par l'assurance.
Le voyageur qui fait une réservation doit être âgé de plus de 18 ans au moment de l'enregistrement, présenter un permis de conduire en cours de validité dans le pays d'enregistrement et de départ et qui est légalement approprié pour la conduite du véhicule objet de la location, une pièce d'identité valide et une carte de paiement valide, ainsi que toutes les exigences définies par l'hôte, telles que l'âge minimum et l'expérience de conduite à la date du début de la location. Les conducteurs supplémentaires doivent être présents au moment de la prise en charge et posséder un permis de conduire en cours de validité dans le pays de départ et d'arrivée et pour le type de véhicule loué, ainsi que toutes les exigences définies par l'hôte, telles que l'âge minimum et l'expérience de conduite à la date du début de la location. Le non-respect de cette exigence empêchera tout conducteur supplémentaire de conduire le véhicule.
Pour les locations de courte durée, lorsque l'hôte est Indie Campers, si l'un des conducteurs a moins de 25 ans, la sélection du plan de protection de base est obligatoire et les conducteurs de moins de 25 ans ne sont pas autorisés à accepter le plan de protection Premium. Les plans de protection ne sont pas inclus et ne peuvent pas être souscrits par le client dans le cadre des réservations d'abonnement.
Avant le début de la location, les voyageurs ont le devoir de partager toutes les informations et documents demandés dans leur profil sur la plateforme. Les voyageurs doivent le faire jusqu'à 48 heures de jours ouvrables avant le début de la location. L'omission des informations et des documents requis peut entraîner l'annulation de la location et le voyageur n'a droit à aucun remboursement. Les documents et informations demandés peuvent comprendre les éléments suivants :
● Carte de citoyen ou passeport en cours de validité
● Permis de conduire en cours de validité
● Adresse fiscale des conducteurs
● Numéro d'identification fiscale
Lors de la prise en charge du véhicule, l'hôte, ou un représentant dûment identifié et sur autorisation, doit être présent lors de l'inventaire, afin de vérifier l'état du véhicule avant et après la location, en signant le contrat de location.
Indie Campers fait une proposition de contrat de location. Les hôtes sont libres de l'utiliser, de la modifier ou d'utiliser tout autre type de contrat à condition que les deux parties le signent et qu'il décrive de manière exhaustive le véhicule ainsi que ses caractéristiques et ses équipements. Toutefois, Indie Campers ne peut être tenu responsable en cas d'ajustement du contrat proposé. En cas de litige entre l'hôte et le voyageur, Indie Campers prendra position conformément à la proposition de contrat de location mise à disposition par ce dernier.
Les deux parties doivent photographier le véhicule, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur, ainsi que le compteur kilométrique et le niveau du réservoir d'essence, lors de l'enregistrement et du départ, ces éléments étant nécessaires et indispensables pour la résolution des litiges entre les utilisateurs.
Au cas où le véhicule disponible à la location présente des caractéristiques principales qui ne correspondent pas, ou sont de qualité sensiblement inférieure, à celles communiquées sur la plateforme, le voyageur peut, jusqu'à la signature du contrat, annuler celui-ci et demander le remboursement du montant total de la réservation. En cas de litige, le voyageur doit partager les preuves (photos, vidéos, ...) de la divergence de la réalité avec celle publiée sur la plateforme. La plateforme évaluera et prendra la décision du cas. L'annulation de la réservation doit être faite par le biais des moyens de contact avec la plateforme indiqués dans ces termes.
Les suppléments sont soumis à la disponibilité sur le lieu de prise en charge. Si un extra réservé n'est pas disponible à l'enregistrement, l'hôte en informera le voyageur et le remboursera en fonction du montant payé pour cet article ou service, et aucune autre compensation ne sera due. Les frais liés à l'utilisation de la plateforme ne seront pas remboursés.
Le véhicule doit être restitué au jour, à l'heure et au lieu indiqués dans le contrat de location.
Si le véhicule est restitué avec des saletés à l'intérieur (ordures, sable, terre, boue ou autres débris) ou à l'extérieur, ainsi que lorsque le réservoir d'eau n'a pas été livré vide, une taxe de nettoyage supplémentaire peut être appliquée et sera définie par l'hôte et communiquée avant la signature du contrat de location. Le véhicule doit être rendu avec le réservoir de carburant au même niveau qu'au moment de la prise en charge, sinon le voyageur devra payer une redevance fixée par l'hôte et communiquée préalablement à la signature du contrat de location. Si le véhicule a un niveau d'AdBlue supérieur à la réserve, le voyageur ne doit pas rendre le véhicule avec le niveau d'AdBlue de la réserve, sinon le voyageur peut se voir facturer des frais fixés par l'hôte et communiqués avant la signature du contrat de location. Pendant le voyage, le voyageur est responsable de s'assurer que le véhicule contient toujours le carburant et l'AdBlue nécessaires à la circulation sans endommager le moteur. De l'AdBlue supplémentaire peut être acheté pendant la période de location dans n'importe quelle station-service au nom du voyageur. L'hôte ne remboursera pas le voyageur pour les dépenses de liquide AdBlue lors du retour du véhicule. L'hôte est responsable de l'évaluation de l'état du véhicule à la livraison.
Le voyageur s'engage à payer la totalité de la location sur le site, selon les différents modes de paiement proposés dans les annonces.
Lorsque le voyageur confirme la réservation, sa carte de crédit ou de débit sera débitée selon la politique d'annulation définie par l'hôte (frais inclus). En cas de refus du mode de prélèvement, la réservation ne sera pas valable et aucune confirmation de location ne sera envoyée, et le voyageur devra présenter un autre mode de paiement valable.
Lorsque la politique de paiement disponible permet de diviser le paiement du montant total de la réservation en plus d'un moment, le second paiement sera automatiquement facturé selon le même mode de paiement choisi à la date définie. Si le deuxième paiement échoue, le voyageur en sera informé et aura 2 jours pour effectuer le paiement avec un autre mode de paiement. S'il n'est pas possible de facturer le second paiement à la date définie, la plateforme aura le droit d'annuler la réservation, en appliquant la politique d'annulation convenue.
Indie Campers ne sera pas responsable des taux de change utilisés par la banque du voyageur, ni des frais bancaires appliqués par la banque du voyageur. La devise utilisée pour le paiement sera toujours celle correspondant au pays où le voyage commence.
L'indemnisation des hôtes sera transférée par le biais de STRIPE. La rémunération de l'hôte sera toujours définie de manière indépendante et sera calculée par le montant total de la réserve moins les frais facturés par la plateforme, y compris les taxes applicables, et les autres assurances et services supplémentaires acquis par le voyageur directement à la plateforme.
La rémunération de l'hôte, sauf accord contraire, sera transférée le deuxième jour ouvrable après le début de la réservation.
Les coûts du service d'intermédiation de Indie Campers sont pris en charge par le voyageur et l'hôte. L'utilisation du service implique l'acceptation par le voyageur, sans conditions ni réservations, des montants fixés. Vous trouverez plus d'informations sur le moment où les frais de service sont appliqués et sur la manière dont ils sont calculés sur notre page Frais de Service. Sauf indication contraire sur la plateforme, les frais de service ne sont pas remboursables. Indie Campers se réserve le droit de modifier les frais de service à tout moment et informera les utilisateurs de toute modification des frais avant qu'elle n'entre en vigueur. Les modifications des frais n'affecteront pas les réservations effectuées avant la date d'entrée en vigueur de la modification des frais. Si vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec une modification des frais, vous pouvez résilier le présent accord à tout moment en supprimant votre notification, bien que vous restiez responsable des réservations confirmées précédemment. Indie Campers se réserve le droit de suspendre ou d'annuler le paiement à l'hôte en cas de litige avec le client.
Dans les cas où une assurance supplémentaire est nécessaire pour effectuer la location, les coûts résultant de la location de celle-ci seront entièrement pris en charge par le voyageur et seront payés cumulativement avec les autres montants de la réserve selon les modes de paiement. En cas de prolongation de la location, l'assurance du véhicule devra être prolongée et un paiement supplémentaire sera exigé.
L'achat de plans de protection sera entièrement pris en charge par le voyageur selon les conditions de paiement appliquées à la réservation correspondante.
La caution sera bloquée à partir de 24 heures avant le début du voyage et ne pourra être payée que selon l'une des modalités et valeurs décrites dans l'annonce. Le véhicule ne peut pas être livré au voyageur si la caution n'est pas bloquée par l'hôte ou par les campeurs indépendants. Indie Campers bloquera obligatoirement la caution si l'une des assurances fournies par Indie Campers a été choisie.
Lors de la restitution du véhicule, l'hôte ou Indie Campers libérera la partie non utilisée de la caution, de la même manière qu'elle était retenue et le remboursement peut être effectué jusqu'à 30 jours ouvrables après la restitution du véhicule. En cas de litige concernant le dépôt de la caution, Indie Campers peut assumer le rôle de médiateur, selon les termes décrits dans la section "Relation entre le voyageur et l'hôte".
La caution est destinée à couvrir tout dommage causé au véhicule pendant la période de location. Ce montant peut être utilisé pour couvrir les frais de réparation du véhicule après la survenance d'un ou plusieurs accidents et tout dommage causé au véhicule couvert dans la limite de la franchise de l'assurance contractée. La caution peut également être utilisée pour couvrir les dommages aux véhicules qui ne sont pas couverts par l'assurance contractée et les éventuels défauts du contrat de location, tels que la couverture du dépassement du forfait kilométrique choisi, le passage en péage et en SCUTS, les éventuelles amendes, ou tout autre montant dû à l'hôte par le voyageur, pour autant qu'il respecte les clauses du contrat de location. La gestion de la caution est subordonnée à la signature entre les parties du contrat de location et du document d'inventaire du véhicule, soit de collecte, soit de restitution. En outre, si la caution n'est pas suffisante pour couvrir toutes les responsabilités du voyageur en matière de paiement, des paiements supplémentaires peuvent être facturés, sans autorisation préalable du voyageur.
Dans les cas où une partie du dépôt de garantie sera transférée à l'hôte, un coût de transaction de 1.3% + tva sur la valeur de la transaction sera facturé au hôte.
L'hôte doit signaler tout incident survenu dans son véhicule par le biais du formulaire disponible sur le site de la Plateforme jusqu'à 5 jours après le paiement.
La politique d'annulation sera appliquée en fonction du choix fait par l'hôte, selon les différentes politiques d'annulation que vous pouvez consulter à la page Politiques d'annulation. Tout montant remboursé sera déduit des frais de service d'Indie Campers et le remboursement sera effectué dans un délai maximum de 14 jours à compter de la réception de la demande d'annulation.
La survenance d'événements imprévus ou inévitables pour lesquels Indie Campers et les utilisateurs n'ont aucune responsabilité (exemples : force majeure, guerre, catastrophes naturelles, pandémies et grèves) n'invalide pas la pleine application des dispositions susmentionnées.
En cas d'annulation de la réservation par l'hôte, Indie Campers indiquera d'autres véhicules dans des conditions similaires à celles réservées. Si le voyageur n'accepte pas l'un des véhicules présentés par Indie Campers, le montant payé par le voyageur lui sera remboursé. Si la rémunération est déjà en possession de l'hôte, et bien qu'il s'agisse d'une annulation de sa part, l'hôte est tenu de rembourser intégralement le montant reçu ou bien Indie Campers peut déduire ce montant des réservations futures. Si Indie Campers s'attend raisonnablement à rembourser un voyageur en vertu de l'une de ces politiques, nous pouvons retarder l'envoi de tout paiement pour cette réservation jusqu'à ce qu'une décision de remboursement soit prise.
En cas d'annulation d'une réservation par l'hôte, des frais d'annulation et autres conséquences vous seront facturés, qui seront directement facturés ou soustraits de la rémunération des réservations ultérieures. Indie Campers se réserve le droit d'annuler une réservation si les exigences minimales définies précédemment n'ont pas été respectées par les utilisateurs.
La survenance d'événements imprévus ou inévitables pour lesquels Indie Campers et les Utilisateurs n'ont aucune responsabilité (exemples : force majeure, guerre, catastrophes naturelles, pandémies et grèves) n'invalide pas la pleine application des dispositions susmentionnées.
Les locations de véhicules effectuées par l'intermédiaire de la plateforme doivent être accompagnées d'une assurance automobile obligatoire, cette dernière étant à la charge du voyageur. L'assurance du véhicule peut être fournie par l'hôte à condition qu'il dispose d'une assurance valable à la date de la location et qu'elle couvre l'utilisation de tiers. Pour un véhicule qui n'a pas d'assurance pour l'utilisation de tiers, le client peut utiliser une assurance fournie par la plateforme dans les conditions décrites sur plateforme d’Indie Campers.
Indie Campers et l'hôte ne sont pas responsables des éventuels dommages ou vols d'objets personnels subis pendant la période de location et il est recommandé de ne pas laisser d'objets de valeur dans le véhicule, en vue, lorsque le voyageur se trouve à l'extérieur du véhicule.
Le voyageur reconnaît qu'il est responsable de tous les dommages survenus pendant la période de location, indépendamment de l'assurance qui a pu être contractée et du coût appliqué.
En cas d'accident, le voyageur s'engage à suivre les procédures suivantes : Avertir l'hôte et Indie Campers, les autorités policières dans les 24 heures de tout accident, vol, vol qualifié ou autre malheur, photographier ce qu’il s'est passé et obtenir les noms et adresses de toutes les personnes impliquées, ainsi que des témoins qui peuvent clarifier ce qui s'est passé, remplir le rapport d'accident en collaboration avec la ou les autres parties impliquées, ne pas quitter le véhicule sans avoir pris toutes les mesures concernant sa protection et sa sécurité, ne pas assumer de responsabilité ou se déclarer coupable, au nom de l'hôte ou en cas d'accident pouvant le tenir pour responsable. Rassembler et envoyer immédiatement après l'accident, à l'hôte, le rapport d'accident avec les données des autres véhicules et des conducteurs qui peuvent être impliqués, le rapport des autorités et les clés du véhicule (en cas de vol). Dans le cas contraire, toutes les assurances et la couverture des risques seront annulées et le voyageur sera responsable de tous les frais.
Dans le cas où le voyageur refuse de signer le rapport d'incident et/ou ne fournit pas les documents nécessaires pour ouvrir une procédure de réclamation dans un délai maximum de 24 heures après que le dommage soit survenu, un montant équivalent à la ou aux franchises de l'assurance peut être facturé et transféré directement à l'hôte ou à l'assureur.
En cas de dommages couverts par l'assurance contractée, chaque dommage qui est de la responsabilité du voyageur ou de tiers non identifiés, donnera lieu au paiement de la franchise si le montant de la réparation est supérieur au montant de la franchise établie par l'assureur, ou au paiement du montant des réparations s'il est inférieur au montant de la franchise établie par l'assureur, sauf dans les conditions d'exclusion par l'assurance automobile en vigueur pendant la location, où toutes les responsabilités et les frais seront à la charge du voyageur.
Lorsque l'assurance fournie par la plateforme est utilisée :

26.2 Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation Policy conditions:
26.2.1 First Stage: Cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
In the event of a cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be entitled to a full refund of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value.

If the second payment fails, the booking will be automatically cancelled after 3 days of failed attempts. Please note that if the full booking value has not been paid by the time of the second payment failure, the traveller will not be entitled to a refund, and the customer will not be considered as being in the Second Stage.
26.2.2 Second Stage: Cancellation between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
Reservations made with less the 30 days to the pick-up date must be paid 100% in the first payment. If the reservation is cancelled between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be eligible for a refund of 50% of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value that includes the value of any services that were added or subcontracted during that period.

The cancellation policy is integrated with the flexible payment options Indie Campers provided to the travellers making a reservation for a road trip. Indie Campers Group cancellation policies are designed to seamlessly integrate with our flexible payment options, ensuring a hassle-free experience for travellers who reserve a road trip with Indie Campers. When creating a reservation associated with the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, travellers have the right to parcel their payments. The initial payment amounts to 50% of the booking value, while the remaining balance can be settled through a second payment, due 30 days prior to the pick-up date.

Conversely, if additional services are added or modifications are made resulting in a decreased booking value, the refundable amount in the case of cancellation within 30 days and 1 day before the pick-up date will be proportionately adjusted. Whenever the entitled is entitled to a refund, Indie Campers shall process a transfer of the amounts to the travellers account within 5-10 business days.

This step ensures the validity of the reservation.
Cancellation Before 30 Days: Should a traveller decide to cancel their reservation before the 30-day mark, they will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid so far, excluding any process handling fees.
Failure to Complete Second Payment: In the event that the second payment is not made after all attempts, the amount paid upfront shall be forfeited, and no refund will be issued. Consequently, the booking will be cancelled.

25. Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation Policy
Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation Policy Effective Date: 29.01.2024 This cancellation policy ("Policy") governs the cancellation and refund procedures for reservations made with the Indie Campers Group ("Company") rental fleet in all countries and locations where the Group Operate. By making a reservation with the Company, the traveler agrees to comply with the terms and conditions outlined in this article.
25.1. Applicability: Applicability: This Policy shall apply to all reservations made after the deployment of the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation policy 29th of January 2024 forward. Existing reservations made until the 28th of January 2024 shall continue to be subject to the cancellation and refund conditions set forth by the “Indie Fleet Super Flexible Cancellation Policy”, described in number 25.7
25.2 Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation Policy conditions:
25.2.1 First Stage: Cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
In the event of a cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be entitled to a full refund of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value. During this stage if additional services or days are added by the traveller, full payment for the increased booking value is required immediately. Traveller also understand that the if the traveller already paid partially the booking the traveller will be requested a 2nd payment 30 days before the pick-up date to close the accounts of that booking If the second payment fails, the booking will be automatically cancelled after 3 days of failed attempts. Please note that if the full booking value has not been paid by the time of the second payment failure, the traveller will not be entitled to a refund, and the customer will not be considered as being in the Second Stage
25.2.2 Second Stage: Cancellation between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
Reservations made with less the 30 days to the pick-up date must be paid 100% in the first payment. If the reservation is cancelled between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be eligible for a refund of 50% of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value that includes the value of any services that were added or subcontracted during that period.
25.2.3 Third Stage: Cancellation between 7 and 1 day before the scheduled pick-up date:
For cancellations made between 7 and 1 day before the scheduled pick-up date, a refund of 5% of the total amount paid until that date shall be granted, calculated based on the existing booking value.
25.2.4 Fourth Stage: Same-day cancellation:
In the event of a cancellation on the same day as the scheduled pick-up date, travellers shall not be entitled to receive any refund.
25.3. Payment and Refund Considerations:
The cancellation policy is integrated with the flexible payment options Indie Campers provided to the travellers making a reservation for a road trip. Indie Campers Group cancellation policies are designed to seamlessly integrate with our flexible payment options, ensuring a hassle-free experience for travellers who reserve a road trip with Indie Campers. When creating a reservation associated with the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, travellers have the right to parcel their payments. The initial payment amounts to 50% of the booking value, while the remaining balance can be settled through a second payment, due 30 days prior to the pick-up date. Alternatively, travellers may choose to pay the full amount of the booking at the time of reservation. Please note that for all reservations made under the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, within 30 days of the selected pick-up date, the total reservation value must be paid upon reservation. For reservations made with partial payment, the completion of the second payment is essential to ensure the reservation's validity. Failure to fulfil the second payment will result in automatic cancellation of the reservation, without any entitlement to a refund In the event that additional services are added to the reservation or modifications are made that increase the booking value, the corresponding additional payment must be made immediately upon request. This ensures the effective inclusion of the requested services within the scope of the reservation. Conversely, if additional services are added or modifications are made resulting in a decreased booking value, the refundable amount in the case of cancellation within 30 days and 1 day before the pick-up date will be proportionately adjusted. Whenever the entitled is entitled to a refund, Indie Campers shall process a transfer of the amounts to the travellers account within 5-10 business days.
25.4 Applicability to Rental Reservation:
This new cancellation policy is solely applicable to reservation involving Rental Business of Indie Campers Fleet. Reservation involving third-party vehicles shall not undergo any changes to their existing cancellation policies at this time
25.5 Refund Calculation Steps Explained.
As part of our commitment to providing a seamless and flexible experience for our valued travelers, we have established a refund calculation policy that applies to reservation changes and cancellations.
Increased Booking Value: If additional services or days are added to your booking, resulting in an increased booking value, travellers are required to make full payment for the additional cost immediately when contacting our Customer Experience team. This step ensures the validity of the reservation.
Cancellation Before 30 Days: Should a traveller decide to cancel their reservation before the 30-day mark, they will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid so far, excluding any process handling fees.
Failure to Complete Second Payment: In the event that the second payment is not made after all attempts, the amount paid upfront shall be forfeited, and no refund will be issued. Consequently, the booking will be cancelled.
Cancellation After Second Payment: If a traveller has made the second payment and subsequently decides to cancel the reservation, the refund amount will be determined based on the terms and conditions of the cancellation policy.
Decreased Booking Value: Should any extras or days be decreased from the booking, resulting in a decreased booking value, the Company will not issue a refund for these changes.
Refund Processing Fee: In certain cases, a process handling fee may apply to cover administrative costs. The amount of this fee will be clearly outlined at the time of cancellation.

It is the traveller responsibility to review the most recent version of this Policy available on our website or to contact our customer service for any updates.

17.2 Conditions de la politique d'annulation flexible d'Indie Fleet :
17.2.1 Première étape : annulation plus de 30 jours avant la date d'enlèvement prévue:
En cas d'annulation plus de 30 jours avant la date de prise en charge prévue, le voyageur a droit au remboursement intégral du montant total payé jusqu'à cette date, calculé sur la base de la valeur de la réservation existante.
Pendant cette phase, si le voyageur ajoute des services ou des jours supplémentaires, le paiement intégral de l'augmentation de la valeur de la réservation sera exigé immédiatement.
Le voyageur comprend également que si le voyageur a déjà payé partiellement la réservation, un deuxième paiement sera demandé 30 jours avant la date de prise en charge afin de clôturer les comptes pour cette réservation.
Si le deuxième paiement échoue, la réservation sera automatiquement annulée après trois jours de tentatives infructueuses. Veuillez noter que si la totalité de la valeur de la réservation n'a pas été payée au moment de l'échec du deuxième paiement, le voyageur n'aura pas droit à un remboursement et le client ne sera pas considéré comme étant dans la deuxième phase.
17.2.2 Deuxième étape : annulation entre 30 et 8 jours avant la date d'enlèvement prévue :
Les réservations effectuées moins de 30 jours avant la date de prise en charge doivent être payées à 100 % lors du premier versement. Si la réservation est annulée entre 30 et 8 jours avant la date de prise en charge prévue, le voyageur a droit à un remboursement de 50 % du montant total payé jusqu'à cette date, calculé sur la base de la valeur de la réservation existante, qui inclut la valeur des services ajoutés ou sous-traités pendant cette période.

17.3 Considérations relatives au paiement et au remboursement :
Les conditions d'annulation s'intègrent aux options de paiement flexibles qu'Indie Campers offre aux voyageurs qui réservent un voyage en voiture. Les politiques d'annulation du groupe Indie Campers sont conçues pour s'intégrer parfaitement à nos options de paiement flexibles, garantissant une expérience sans tracas pour les voyageurs qui réservent un voyage en voiture avec Indie Campers. Lors de la création d'une réservation associée à l'annulation flexible d'Indie Fleet, les voyageurs ont le droit d'étaler leurs paiements. Le paiement initial s'élève à 50 % de la valeur de la réservation, tandis que le solde peut être réglé par un deuxième paiement, qui doit être effectué 30 jours avant la date de prise en charge. Les voyageurs peuvent également choisir de payer le montant total de la réservation au moment de la réservation. Veuillez noter que pour toutes les réservations effectuées avec Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, dans les 30 jours précédant la date de prise en charge choisie, la valeur totale de la réservation doit être payée au moment de la réservation. Pour les réservations effectuées avec un paiement partiel, le deuxième paiement est requis pour garantir la validité de la réservation. Si le deuxième paiement n'est pas effectué, la réservation sera automatiquement annulée, sans aucun droit à remboursement. Si des services supplémentaires sont ajoutés à la réservation ou si des modifications sont apportées qui augmentent la valeur de la réservation, le paiement supplémentaire correspondant doit être effectué immédiatement sur demande. Cela permet de s'assurer que les services demandés sont effectivement inclus dans le cadre de la réservation. En revanche, si des services supplémentaires sont ajoutés ou si des modifications sont apportées qui réduisent la valeur de la réservation, le montant remboursable en cas d'annulation dans les 30 jours et 1 jour avant la date de prise en charge sera ajusté en conséquence. Si l'ayant droit a droit à un remboursement, Indie Campers transfère le montant sur le compte du voyageur dans un délai de 5 à 10 jours ouvrables.

Dans le cadre de notre engagement à offrir une expérience transparente et flexible à nos précieux voyageurs, nous avons établi une politique de calcul des remboursements qui s'applique aux changements de réservation et aux annulations.
Augmentation de la valeur de la réservation : Si des services ou des jours supplémentaires sont ajoutés à votre réservation, entraînant une augmentation de la valeur de la réservation, les voyageurs doivent effectuer immédiatement le paiement intégral du coût supplémentaire en contactant notre équipe Expérience client. Cette démarche garantit la validité de la réservation.
Annulation avant 30 jours : Si un voyageur décide d'annuler sa réservation avant 30 jours, il aura droit au remboursement du montant payé jusqu'à cette date, à l'exclusion des frais de gestion de la procédure.
Défaut de paiement du deuxième acompte : Si, après plusieurs tentatives, le deuxième paiement n'est pas effectué, le montant payé à l'avance reste acquis et aucun remboursement n'est effectué. Par conséquent, la réservation sera annulée.
Annulation après le deuxième paiement : Si un voyageur a effectué le deuxième paiement et décide par la suite d'annuler la réservation, le montant du remboursement sera déterminé selon les termes et conditions de la politique d'annulation.
Réduction de la valeur de la réservation : Si le nombre d'extras ou de jours de la réservation est réduit, entraînant une réduction de la valeur de la réservation, l'entreprise ne remboursera pas le montant correspondant à ces changements.
Frais de traitement du remboursement : Dans certains cas, des frais de traitement peuvent être appliqués pour couvrir les coûts administratifs. Le montant de ces frais sera clairement indiqué au moment de l'annulation.
17.6 Modifications de la politique Veuillez noter que cette politique est susceptible d'être modifiée à la discrétion de l'entreprise. Il incombe au voyageur de vérifier la version la plus récente de cette politique disponible sur notre site web ou de contacter notre service clientèle pour toute mise à jour.

19.2 Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation Policy conditions:
19.2.1 First Stage: Cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
In the event of a cancellation more than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be entitled to a full refund of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value. During this stage if additional services or days are added by the traveller, full payment for the increased booking value is required immediately. Traveller also understand that the if the traveller already paid partially the booking the traveller will be requested a 2nd payment 30 days before the pick-up date to close the accounts of that booking If the second payment fails, the booking will be automatically cancelled after 3 days of failed attempts. Please note that if the full booking value has not been paid by the time of the second payment failure, the traveller will not be entitled to a refund, and the customer will not be considered as being in the Second Stage
19.2.2 Second Stage: Cancellation between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date:
Reservations made with less the 30 days to the pick-up date must be paid 100% in the first payment. If the reservation is cancelled between 30 and 8 days before the scheduled pick-up date, the traveller shall be eligible for a refund of 50% of the total amount paid until that date, calculated based on the existing booking value that includes the value of any services that were added or subcontracted during that period.

19.3 Payment and Refund Considerations:
The cancellation policy is integrated with the flexible payment options Indie Campers provided to the travellers making a reservation for a road trip. Indie Campers Group cancellation policies are designed to seamlessly integrate with our flexible payment options, ensuring a hassle-free experience for travellers who reserve a road trip with Indie Campers. When creating a reservation associated with the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, travellers have the right to parcel their payments. The initial payment amounts to 50% of the booking value, while the remaining balance can be settled through a second payment, due 30 days prior to the pick-up date. Alternatively, travellers may choose to pay the full amount of the booking at the time of reservation. Please note that for all reservations made under the Indie Fleet Flexible Cancellation, within 30 days of the selected pick-up date, the total reservation value must be paid upon reservation. For reservations made with partial payment, the completion of the second payment is essential to ensure the reservation's validity. Failure to fulfil the second payment will result in automatic cancellation of the reservation, without any entitlement to a refund In the event that additional services are added to the reservation or modifications are made that increase the booking value, the corresponding additional payment must be made immediately upon request. This ensures the effective inclusion of the requested services within the scope of the reservation. Conversely, if additional services are added or modifications are made resulting in a decreased booking value, the refundable amount in the case of cancellation within 30 days and 1 day before the pick-up date will be proportionately adjusted. Whenever the entitled is entitled to a refund, Indie Campers shall process a transfer of the amounts to the travellers account within 5-10 business days.
19.4 Applicability to Rental Reservation:
This new cancellation policy is solely applicable to reservation involving Rental Business of Indie Campers Fleet. Reservation involving third-party vehicles shall not undergo any changes to their existing cancellation policies at this time
19.5 Refund Calculation Steps Explained.
As part of our commitment to providing a seamless and flexible experience for our valued travelers, we have established a refund calculation policy that applies to reservation changes and cancellations.
Increased Booking Value: If additional services or days are added to your booking, resulting in an increased booking value, travellers are required to make full payment for the additional cost immediately when contacting our Customer Experience team. This step ensures the validity of the reservation.
Cancellation Before 30 Days: Should a traveller decide to cancel their reservation before the 30-day mark, they will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid so far, excluding any process handling fees.
Failure to Complete Second Payment: In the event that the second payment is not made after all attempts, the amount paid upfront shall be forfeited, and no refund will be issued. Consequently, the booking will be cancelled.
Cancellation After Second Payment: If a traveller has made the second payment and subsequently decides to cancel the reservation, the refund amount will be determined based on the terms and conditions of the cancellation policy.
Decreased Booking Value: Should any extras or days be decreased from the booking, resulting in a decreased booking value, the Company will not issue a refund for these changes.
Refund Processing Fee: In certain cases, a process handling fee may apply to cover administrative costs. The amount of this fee will be clearly outlined at the time of cancellation.
