Therefore, the Tenant declares and acknowledges that he/she has read and understood the provision of these T&Cs. At any time, if the Tenant disagrees with one of the provisions of the T&Cs, he/she can immediately end the use of the Platform and the associated services by deleting his/her Space.

These T&Cs are available at any time by clicking on a direct link at the bottom of each page of the Platform.

The T&Cs shall apply to Bookings made:

- On the Platform accessible through the link http://reservation.studapart.com

- On any Platform of a Studapart partner institution (university, school, etc.) having its own Platform, without prejudice to the contractual conditions applied by this partner. The list of partner institutions is available in the Tenants FAQ.

ARTICLE 3: Entry into force – Duration

These T&Cs are applicable for the entire time of browsing and access to the Platform and for the entire duration of use of the Platform. The Tenant is free to close his/her account at any time and is not bound by any time commitment towards Studapart.

Studapart reserves the right to modify these T&Cs at any time by indicating their date of update in the header.

Any modification shall take effect from their acceptance. The Tenant agrees to be notified of the updated T&Cs by their publication on the Platform or any other form of notification.

The Tenant shall be notified of updates to the T&Cs that lead to changes in the duration, characteristics or price of the services provided on the platform and are subject to his/her acceptance. In case of refusal of the updated T&Cs, the Tenant can terminate his/her account at no cost, which shall result in the removal of his/her profile from the Platform.

In other cases, by continuing to use the Platform after the update comes into effect, or by accessing it after the effective date of the updated T&Cs, the Tenant declares to have read the updated information and accepts all changes made to them.

The latest accepted version of the T&Cs available online on the Platform shall prevail, where applicable, over any other version of these T&Cs.

ARTICLE 4: Creation of a Studapart account

Browsing and accessing information on the Platform are subject to the Tenant’s registration on the Platform.

In order to access all the features of the Platform, the Tenant shall create his/her Tenant Space. When registering, he/she shall tick the boxes agreeing to the collection and processing of his/her personal data and unreserved acceptance of the Terms and Conditions of Use of the Services on the Platform.

When registering, the Tenant shall provide the following information:

Once the Studapart account has been validated, the Tenant shall receive a confirmation e-mail. The Tenant can then access the features of his/her Space and share a certain amount of optional information to facilitate accommodation searches on the Platform.

Studapart may ask for specific information in order to certify the authenticity of the Tenant’s identity. By accepting these T&Cs, the Tenant agrees to share all requested information.

At the same time, the Tenant can scan all the documents usually required to submit a rental application:

Through the Platform, the Tenant has the possibility to share all other necessary information to facilitate booking an accommodation with the relevant Owner or Professional.

This information is optional and does not affect the process of finding accommodation on the Platform. The Tenant is informed that this information is intended to maximise the chances of obtaining the accommodation for which the Tenant has made a Booking request.

Special conditions applicable to the Guaranted Profile

Once the Tenant has created his/her Space, they can subscribe to the optional Guaranteed Profile service offered by Studapart.
​

Subscription to the Guaranteed Profile may be subject to the Tenant uploading supporting documents to the Platform (Tenant’s identity document requested, Tenant's school certificate or work contract providing a guarantee of trust in the event of a claim). If the Tenant fails to provide the requested documents, Studapart may automatically refuse confirmation of the order and reserves the right to refund the price of the Guaranteed Profile to the Tenant who has not provided all the documents required for this service.

This paid offer, which is not tied to any booking request, allows the Tenant:

Once an email confirmation of the Guaranteed Profile order is sent to the Tenant, the Guaranteed Profile is valid for a limited period of six months. The Guaranteed Profile is not subject to an automatic renewal and shall not be put on hold. The Guaranteed Profile order is fixed and final, and shall not be the subject of any request for reimbursement, even in the absence of a Booking request on the Platform and/or an effective Booking on the Platform.
​

The Guaranteed Profile shall in no circumstances grant Studapart the status of surety or guarantor. The Tenant’s Guaranteed Profile has no legal value with third parties, does not constitute a guarantee and the Tenant may only inform potential landlords of accommodation for information purposes.

ARTICLE 5: Respect for the use of the Platform

Studapart is a booking platform for accommodation. It is stated in our Terms and Conditions for both Advertisers and Tenants that reservations must be made on the platform. We are very vigilant about the behaviour of our users. Deviant behaviour is :

To its values

→ Fraud, extortion

The sole purpose of the platform is to enable online booking of accommodation. Any request for reservation or payment outside the platform is liable to prosecution.

→ Discrimination

No difference in treatment is tolerated within the Studapart community, based on criteria of membership (or non-membership) of an ethnic group or race, religion, beliefs, age, disability, sexual orientation...

→ Disrespect

Our tenants and owners exchange with respect. No form of violence (e.g. insults) is accepted within the community. Our members are welcoming and reliable.

Has its own rules of operation

→ Response within 48 hours

Renters are required to reply to Owners and Professionals looking for or after booking online within a reasonable 48h. Failure to reply may result in the conversation being closed.

→ Online booking

Online booking is compulsory. It enables Studapart to remunerate the service provided and is the sine qua non condition for benefiting from moderated ads, verified profiles, the Studapart Guarantee and customer support. Any bypass will be prosecuted.

The truthfulness of the information provided on the platform

Studapart is a trusted community. Renters are required to provide truthful information on the platform (Profile, Rental File).

In the event of a Booking request or any other contact with an Advertiser through the Platform, regarding the rental of a property, the Tenant shall finalise the Booking exclusively through the Platform. Given the booking service offered, it is strictly forbidden to exclude the use of the Platform to sign any contract with the Advertiser for the rental of an advertised property. This is an essential and ethical obligation towards the service offered by Studapart.

To prevent attempted bookings outside of the Platform, Studapart may automatically prohibit the possibility of providing email addresses and telephone numbers in Tenant and Advertiser messaging tools. The Tenant expressly accepts that the electronic messaging tools can automatically detect some key words and that the correspondence does not count as private correspondence and Studapart retains the right to access them to check compliance with the service.

In the event that these rules are disregarded and a risk of fraud and booking outside the Platform is detected, Studapart may, depending on the severity and the repetition of this breach, warn this user, lower the visibility of the Tenant’s profile and/or suspend the Tenant’s access to his/her Space.

In the event of a breach of this rule, Studapart reserves the right to charge a penalty corresponding to the amount of the Booking Fees applicable at the time of the breach found by Studapart. The Tenant expressly accepts this penalty as a fixed and advance payment for the damage. The Tenant shall pay the amount of the applicable penalty upon presentation of the corresponding invoice.

ARTICLE 6: Pricing and payment conditions

The creation of the Tenant Space allowing access to the advertisements published on the Platform is free of charge. When using the Platform, the Tenant may be required to make online payments to Advertisers and Studapart through the Platform.

To make a Reservation on the Platform, the Tenant will have to pay a Deposit which can be made up of the 1st month's rent and Studapart fees. This Deposit will be transferred to the Owner on the date of the beginning of the rental period indicated on the Platform. For the Professional Advertiser, the Deposit can be sent after payment on the platform.

In the event of a Studapart Guarantee request by the Owner, Studapart Guarantee fees shall be charged to the Tenant, who shall be duly informed thereof. In this case, the Booking is subject to the Tenant’s payment of these additional Studapart Guarantee fees, the amount of which is automatically calculated according to the rental period and the amount of rent indicated by the Owner as part of the Booking request. The additional Guarantee fees are not charged when the Guaranteed Profile is granted at the time of finalising the Booking on the Platform. When the tenant leave earlier than anticipated, the Studapart Guarantee initially subscribed to during the online reservation will not be subject to any refund.

In the event of early departure by the tenant, the initially subscribed Studapart Guarantee, made at the time of online booking, will not be subject to any refund. An early departure is defined as leaving after the lease start date provided on the platform. Since this departure occurs after the lease start date provided on the platform, it indicates the tenant's intention to vacate the accommodation. Such departures are not covered by our cancellation policy and do not entitle the tenant to any refund.

Tenants are duly informed that only the first month’s rent is payable through the Platform, and that it is their responsibility to make subsequent rental payments directly to the landlord. The Platform does not allow the payment of a security deposit, or any other sum that may be requested by the Advertiser, outside of the Platform. Tenants shall check with the Advertisers for any fees, charges, etc. that may be claimed from them in connection with the Booking, outside of the Platform.

Each Tenant guarantees to have the necessary permissions to use the chosen payment method and that the information provided gives access to sufficient funds to cover all the costs resulting from the Booking.

Studapart is in no way a banking institution and all services of payment intermediary, of collection on behalf of third parties and of creation and management of electronic wallets are provided by Stripe, an approved partner specialising in these services.

The use of online payment systems through Stripe implies unreserved acceptance of Stripe’s terms and conditions of sale. Studapart therefore invites Tenants to read their terms and conditions of sale, which can be accessed at www.Stripe.com/fr/legal. It is the responsibility of the Tenants to verify the relevance of the services to their needs.

The transactions made through these systems are secured using an SSL encryption process in order to strengthen all the scrambling and encryption tools, by optimizing the protection of all Personal Data linked to this payment method.

The banking information is directly communicated to the secure payment service provider. Studapart never has access to confidential information relating to the Tenants’ payment method.

ARTICLE 7: Electronic signature

As part of the use of the Platform, the Tenant and/or his/her guarantor may be required to use the electronic signature system on the Platform. Each Tenant guarantees to have the necessary permissions to use the chosen electronic signature and to have the necessary legal ability and capacity to sign the relevant document.

The electronic signature results from the use of a reliable process of identification with the use of the certificate guaranteeing its link with other electronic data to which it is related.

All of the services linked to the implementation of an electronic signature system, including the tenants’ authentication and identity management services, are provided exclusively by the company DocuSign, a partner of Studapart specialising in these services.

The use of electronic signature systems implies unreserved acceptance of Docusign’s applicable terms and conditions of sale. Studapart therefore invites Tenants to read their terms and conditions of sale, which can be accessed at https://www.docusign.com/company/terms-and-conditions/msa before any use of this system. It is the responsibility of the Tenants to verify the relevance of the services to their needs.

The signatures made through these systems are secured using an encryption process in order to strengthen all the scrambling and encryption tools, by optimising the protection of all Personal Data linked to the electronic signature.

By using this feature through the Platform, the Tenants acknowledge that the process of signing an electronic document electronically necessarily requires an asynchronous operating mode allowing signatories to sign, one before another.

Accordingly, the Tenants expressly agree that, in order to sign a contract, the document shall be signed by all the parties it designates. The first signature of an electronic document does not constitute an offer or a commitment by unilateral will by the first signatory who has electronically signed the electronic document.

When an electronic document is required to have a signature date, the Tenants agree that this date shall be the date mentioned in the electronic document by the signatories. In the absence of a date mentioned in the electronic document, the Tenants agree that the date of signature shall be the date on which the electronic document is posted online by the last signatory, as shown on the computer records of the Platform.

ARTICLE 8: Payment Terms and Management of Banking Data

Storage of Banking Data for Tenants Subscribing to the Unpaid Rent Guarantee

When a Tenant subscribes to the Unpaid Rent Guarantee (Studapart Guarantee), their bank card information is saved by default in our system. This storage aims to facilitate the renewal of the subscription to this insurance, thus ensuring continuity of coverage.

By subscribing to the Unpaid Rent Guarantee, the Tenant expressly acknowledges and accepts the storage of their banking data under the conditions mentioned above. For any questions related to the management of their personal data, the Tenant can contact our customer support.

The criteria for ranking the rental offers from Advertisers on the Platform’s search engine according to their relevance are:

- The criteria sought by the Tenant (location, rental price, etc.);

- The rate of completeness of the information on the Advertiser’s profile and his/her advertisement: the more complete the profile and the advertisement are, the more the advertisement will be highlighted in the search engine rankings on the Platform;

- The number of Bookings made on the Platform: the higher this number is, the more the Advertiser’s offers will be highlighted;

- The Advertiser’s response time to Tenant’s requests on the Platform: the faster the Advertiser responds, the more his/her offer will be highlighted in the search engine rankings on the Platform.

Once the property in question is booked on the Platform, the rental offer is automatically removed for the duration of the booking. In the event of violation of the rules of moderation of advertisements or violation of any of the Advertiser’s contractual, legal or regulatory obligations, the offer referenced on the Platform may be subject to delisting by Studapart.

In these circumstances, Studapart does not guarantee Tenants the maintenance of an offer over time on the Platform. Any offer is freely and directly managed by its Advertiser, who can modify and remove it at any time.

ARTICLE 15: Security

15.1 General information

The Tenant shall take all reasonable precautions to preserve the confidentiality of his/her username and password granting access to the Platform. In this regard, the Tenant shall:

- Not write his/her username or password anywhere and under any circumstances, even in coded form;

- Always use his/her login details away from prying eyes and ears;

- Refrain from entering his/her login details in front of third parties;

It is also strongly recommended that the Tenant regularly change the password required to access the Platform, by accessing his/her Tenant Space in “My account”, “My password” and clicking “Edit”.

When the Tenant changes his/her password, he/she shall ensure that the password does not contain easily identifiable combinations such as surname, first name, date of birth, or those of a relative (spouse, child , etc.) or a password used for other purposes (for example, for a personal mailbox, etc.).

Whenever possible, the Tenant shall ensure to choose a password that is sufficiently long and made of a combination of letters, numbers and upper and lower-case characters.

Studapart shall, at its discretion, impose an expiry date for the Tenant’s password beyond which he/she shall not be able to access the Platform and the services without first changing the password.

The Tenant shall also not store his/her login details on his/her computer, smartphone and/or tablet, nor send them through unsecured transmission channels such as email or SMS.

The Tenant is also responsible for erasing the information stored on his/her computer, smartphone and/or tablet after using the payment services, in particular deleting the cookies and history or deleting the data stored in the cache memory.

Internet is an open international telecommunications network which the Tenant can access through a computer, smartphone or tablet. To access the Platform and the services, the Tenant shall comply with the technical requirements (relating to the equipment and software) as described in these T&Cs.

The Tenant is required to take all the necessary measures to ensure that the technical characteristics of his/her computer, smartphone or tablet, as well as their software and Internet subscription, allow him/her to access the Platform in complete safety.

The Tenant is entirely responsible for the correct functioning of his/her computer equipment, as well as his/her Internet connection. As such, the Tenant shall ensure that this equipment does not present any problem or virus and has sufficient security to prevent the risk that a third party obtains access to his/her account and to the data that this space contains.

The Tenant shall do everything to preserve this security. For this, the Tenant shall ensure that there is no risk that hostile programs or viruses access and disrupt Studapart’s computer systems. The Tenant shall ensure the security of his/her computer, smartphone or tablet by using and regularly updating anti-virus and anti-spyware software as well as a personal firewall.

The Tenant assumes the technical risks related to a power cut, a connection cut, a faulty operation or networks or systems being overloaded.

The Tenant acknowledges that he/she shall contact the Internet service provider of his/her choice to access the Internet, the Platform and the services. In this respect, the Tenant recognises that it is up to him/her to choose an Internet service provider and to set the forms of relations with them.

Studapart shall not be liable for risks arising from the use of the Internet including the risks associated with remote data transmission by or to the Tenant, in particular, in the event of a conflict between the Tenant and this Internet service provider that relates to the confidential/personal nature of the data transmitted, cost of transmission, maintenance and interruptions of telephone lines, and Internet network.

The Tenant is responsible for using the services under the technical requirements in accordance with the safety instructions given by Studapart.

Under normal conditions, the services can be accessed through the Platform.

The Tenant shall log in to the Platform for a limited period of time and agrees to log out when he/she has finished using the services. As logging out from the Platform is not automatic, once logged in, the Tenant remains logged in to the Platform until he/she logs out by clicking on the “Log out” button from his/her Space.

15.2 Consequences of non-compliance with the T&Cs or the law

In the event of disregard of the provisions of these T&Cs, Studapart reserves the right to modify or terminate the Tenant’s access to the Platform at any time, without prior notice to the Tenant. In this case, the content and information of the Tenant will no longer be accessible. This information may however be stored and appear on the Platform.

In the event that Studapart observes a violation of the T&Cs of the Platform or reports an unlawful activity by means of the Platform by another user or any third party, Studapart reserves the right:

- To remove, without notice or compensation or right to reimbursement, any content of a Tenant who does not comply with the terms and conditions of use of the Platform and/or who would be likely to infringe the rights of a third party;

- In the event of a serious or repeated violation, to suspend the Tenant’s access rights to his/her Space.

Any content inaccessible to the Tenant or delisted from the Platform shall be kept by Studapart, in particular, but not limited to, in order to comply with specific legal obligations.

Moreover, and without prejudice to the above, the Tenant is informed that Studapart reserves the right to:

- Delete or remove any content or information that Studapart deems inappropriate, including the Advertiser’s content;

- Without prejudice to any legal action taken by third parties, take in a personal capacity any legal action aimed at compensating the damages that Studapart would have personally suffered as a result of breaches attributable to the Tenant under these T&Cs;

- If necessary, notify the competent authorities, cooperate with them and provide them with all the information useful for the investigation and suppression of illegal or illicit activities, in accordance with the legislation in force.

Any Tenant that witnesses a Tenant or Advertiser non-compliance with the obligations and guarantees set out in the T&Cs, is invited to report these actions by contacting Studapart as quickly as possible by email at contact@studapart.com. Studapart shall request any additional information or clarification useful for processing the report.

15.3 Modification and termination of services

The Tenant can unsubscribe from the Platform at any time by sending a request to this effect to Studapart, solely by email. Studapart then sends the Tenant an email to confirm their unsubscription from the services. The unsubscription takes effect on the date of the email confirmation by Studapart.

The deletion of the account is final and the Tenant shall not be able to find his/her data. As soon as the account is deleted, the Tenant’s profile shall be automatically delisted from the Platform.

Studapart reserves the right to modify or stop offering all or part of the services at any time, at its free discretion. The Tenant is informed of these modifications and/or interruption by any useful means, within an indicative period of fifteen (15) days.

In the event that the Tenant fails to comply with these T&Cs, the Tenant does not comply with any stipulation of these T&Cs, or if the Tenant was accessing the services in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to Studapart, Studapart reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Tenant’s access to the services with immediate effect. The termination takes effect automatically from the date the Tenant is notified by post (letter) or email. The cancellation will result in the automatic deletion of the Tenant’s account, without prior notice.

The termination of the services, for any reason whatsoever, including in the event of withdrawal by Studapart under the conditions provided in the T&Cs and the legislation, leads to the deletion of the Tenant’s account, removing subsequent access to his/her account.

ARTICLE 16: Force majeure

Any event outside Studapart’s control and against which Studapart could not reasonably protect itself constitutes a force majeure and therefore suspends the obligations of the parties, such as, but not limited to: a strike or a technical breakdown (EDF, ERDF [French electricity providers], telecommunications operators, Internet or hosting providers, Registrars, etc.), an interruption of energy supply (such as electricity), a failure from the communication network electronics on which Studapart depends and/or networks that would replace it.

Studapart shall not be deemed to have failed to fulfil its obligations under these T&Cs and shall not be liable for any breach due to force majeure as defined by French legislation and jurisprudence so long as it has notified the other party and that it does its utmost to minimise the damage and perform its obligations as quickly as possible after the cessation of the force majeure.

Unless otherwise provided in these T&Cs, correspondence exchanged between Tenants and Studapart shall be handled by email through the Platform. Pursuant to Article 1316 et seq. of the Civil Code and, where applicable, Article L.110-3 of the Commercial Code, the Parties state that information delivered by email is valid between the Parties unless a contradictory, certified and signed written notification questioning this computerised information is produced. Factors such as the time of reception or transmission, as well as the quality of the data received shall prevail as a priority as they appear on the Studapart information systems, or as authenticated by Studapart’s computerised procedures, unless the Tenant provides written proof to the contrary.

ARTICLE 17: General provisions

The provisions of these T&Cs express the entire agreement between the Tenants and Studapart. They prevail over any proposal or exchange of letters prior to and following their acceptance, as well as any other provision included in the documents exchanged between the parties relating to the subject of these T&Cs, unless the representatives of both parties duly sign an amendment.

Unless otherwise provided in these T&Cs, correspondence between the Owners and Studapart is handled by email through the Platform. Pursuant to Articles 1316 et seq. of the Civil Code and, where applicable, Article L.110-3 of the Commercial Code, the Parties state that information delivered by email is valid between the Parties unless a contradictory, certified and signed written notification questioning this computerised information is produced.

Factors such as the time of reception or transmission, as well as the quality of the data received shall prevail as a priority as they appear on the Studapart information systems, or as authenticated by Studapart’s computerised procedures, unless the Owners provide written proof to the contrary.

The fact that a Party to these T&Cs has not required the application of any provision, whether permanently or temporarily, shall under no circumstances be considered as a waiver of the rights of that Party arising from such provision.

If one or more provisions of these T&Cs ​​are held to be invalid or declared as such under any law, regulation or following a final decision from a competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of T&Cs shall remain in full force to their full extent. If necessary, Studapart shall immediately delete such provision and replace it with a legally valid provision.

In case of difficulty in interpretation between the title and the chapter of any of the articles and any of the provisions, the titles shall be deemed to be unwritten.

ARTICLE 18: Registration on the opposition to telephone canvassing list

In accordance with law n°2014-344 of March 17, 2014, the Tenant is hereby informed that, as a consumer within the meaning of the French Consumer Code, he/she has the option of registering free of charge on the BLOCTEL (www.bloctel.gouv.fr) list of opposition to telephone prospecting in order to no longer be contacted by telephone by a professional with whom he/she has no current contractual relationship.

ARTICLE 19: Applicable law - Mediation

These T&Cs ​​are governed by and interpreted in accordance with French legislation, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

In the event of a dispute that may arise during the interpretation and/or execution of these T&Cs or in connection with these T&Cs, Studapart and the Tenant shall mutually make every effort to find an amicable solution to solve all disputes to which these T&Cs may give rise.

Therefore, in the event of a dispute between a Tenant and Studapart, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith the settlement of the dispute.
