12. Force Majeur The owners regret that they cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of their contractual obligations is prevented or affected by ‘force majeur’. In these terms and conditions of hire, ‘force majeur’ means any event which the owners or the suppliers of the service(s) in question could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, civil commotion or strife, hostilities, strikes or other industrial disputes, natural disasters, fire, acts of God, terrorist activities, quarantine, epidemics, weather conditions, government action or other events outside our control. There are cases sometimes when different kind of breakdowns take place in apartments: either hot/cold water is missing, or electricity is missing or some unpredictable problems after the last client. If such cases appear on the day of your arrival and we cannot fix them before your arrival, we consider them as Force Majeur and remain the right to change you apartment without informing you for another one of the same class, same price range and as close to the reserved apartment as possible of course.
