These Terms of Use are applicable throughout the duration of navigation and access to the Platform. The Landlord is free to close his account at any time and is not bound by any long-term commitment vis-à-vis Studapart.
Studapart reserves the right to amend at any time these Terms of Use by indicating their date of update in the header.

ARTICLE 4: Creation of a Studapart account
In order to access all of the Platform’s features, the Landlord must create an account. The browsing on the Platform and the access to information displayed on the Platform require being registered on the Platform.
In order to access all of the Platform’s features, the Landlord shall, when registering for an account, tick the following boxes: “I give my consent to the collection and processing of my personal data” and “I unreservedly accept the Terms of Use of Studapart services”.
When registering for an account, the Landlord must provide the following information:
Gender;
Full name;

Password.
Following the validation of the Studapart account, the Landlord shall receive a confirmation email. The Landlord shall then be able to access his/her account’s features and provide Studapart with information allowing Studapart to post its Advertisements.

By registering as a Landlord and accepting the Terms of Use, the user confirms that he is not acting for a real estate agency or a residence, which are professionals subject to specific conditions. Failure to comply with this condition constitutes a violation of the Terms of Use.
Compliance with the use of the Platform
In the event of a Booking request or any other contact from a Tenant via the Platform concerning the rental of the property that is the subject of its Advertisements, the Landlord undertakes to finalize the Booking exclusively via the Platform. Given the free booking service offered, it is expressly prohibited to exclude the use of the Platform to conclude any agreement with the Tenant for the rental of an advertised property. This is an essential and ethical obligation to the service we provide.
Studapart may automatically prevent in the exchange tools between Tenants and Landlords the possibility of providing email addresses and telephone numbers in order to make a booking outside the Platform. The Landlord expressly accepts that electronic messaging tools can automatically detect certain keywords and that correspondence does not have the character of private correspondence, Studapart reserving the right to access it to check compliance with the service.
Studapart assumes that the Landlord is in control of the booking. The Landlord put in contact through Studapart with one or more tenants and who makes the booking outside of Studapart, receives an invoice corresponding to the Booking Fees and equivalent to those that the Tenant(s) had to pay to Studapart.
The Landlord's account is suspended by Studapart until the Landlord has paid the Booking Fees. In the event of non-payment 10 days after Studapart sends the invoice to the Landlord, Studapart mandates its legal adviser to initiate a recovery procedure vis-à-vis the Landlord.
ARTICLE 5: Services
General information
Creating a Studapart account allows Landlords to access certain features available on the Platform. These features allow Landlords to:
To submit an Accommodation Ad;
Distribute this offer on the Platform and, optionally, on partner networks;
To obtain payment for the booking of the accommodation online;
To be subscribed to an unpaid rent guarantee (option);
To subscribe to a Studaboost (option).

Studaboost: an optional paid feature
Studaboost is a paid and optional feature offered by Studapart to private owners and real estate professionals. This option aims to increase the visibility of a listing, thus facilitating a quick rental of the property.
By subscribing to Studaboost, Owners and Real Estate Professionals benefit from the following advantage: improved visibility. By opting for Studaboost, the listing on which the paid option has been activated will be highlighted, significantly increasing its visibility to potential tenants across all communication channels, including emails, multi-distribution portals, and Studapart's search pages.
The use of Studaboost is subject to the following conditions:
Eligibility: Studaboost is available to all owners or real estate professionals wishing to rent out their property as quickly as possible.
Validity Period: Studaboost is active for an indefinite period and can be deactivated at any time by the owner. It is automatically deactivated once the property benefiting from the option is rented out.
Financial Conditions: Studaboost is a paid service. The cost varies depending on the city where the property is located and is charged on the first month's rent, once the property is rented out. The fees may be deductible from taxes under actual regime only. Studaboost is charged for all tenants who have applied for the property when the option was activated and who have made an online reservation. If the tenant from a boosted listing decides to rent another property from the same landlord, which is not subject to the option, then Studaboost will be charged for this tenant on the new property because the tenant encountered the landlord through the property benefiting from Studaboost.
Results Commitment: Although Studaboost aims to improve the visibility of the listing, Studapart does not guarantee the rental of the property within a specific timeframe or the number of potential tenants.
Cancellation and Refund: Studaboost is non-refundable. Owners who have subscribed to the previous version of Studaboost will be automatically switched to the new feature at no additional cost. Studaboost will be deactivated on the expiration date of the previous option.

Advertisement Reach - Multicast
The Advertisement is published on the Platform with Tenants (reservation.studapart.com) and may be published on third-party platforms under the conditions below. The Landlord can inquire at any time about the scope of its Advertisement in its Landlord Space (broadcast manager).
Unless opposed by him before the validation of his Advertisement or later from his Landlord Space, the Advertisement created may be broadcast on third-party partner sites of Studapart. These partners can be third-party platforms or even the platforms of partner establishments, universities and schools.
Booking requests made on an offer distributed by Studapart on a third-party site are processed under the same conditions as requests made on the Platform, insofar as the Tenant must confirm that his profile and his request correspond to the rental conditions entered by the Landlord on the Platform.
The distribution of Advertisements on third-party sites in partnership with Studapart is not immediate or systematic. The mention "Broadcasted" in the Landlord Space does not therefore mean that the Landlord will be able to find the Advertisement created, directly online on a partner site. The least viewed Advertisments, i.e. Advertisements that have received few or no requests via the Platform, will by default be assigned priority multicasting over the Advertisements most viewed by Tenants.
Methods of referencing, classification and dereferencing of Advertisements
The classification criteria for Advertisements on the Platform's search engine are:
The criteria sought by the Tenant (location, rental price, etc.);
The completion rate of the information of the Landlord's profile and the information of his Advertisement: the more the profile and the Advertisement are complete, the more the Advertisement will be highlighted in the rankings of the search engine on the Platform;
The number of Bookings made on the Platform: yhe higher this number, the more the Advertisement will be highlighted;
The Landlord's response time to Tenants' requests on the Platform: the faster the Landlord responds, the more his Advertisement will be highlighted in the search engine rankings on the Platform.
These last three criteria are the subject of an automatic evaluation materialized by a score between 1 and 10 of the Landlord, which he can inquire at any time on his Landlord Space.
The Advertisement is automatically dereferenced over a given period of availability, in the event of a Booking on the Platform of the property subject to it, over this same period. From his Landlord Space, the Landlord can activate or deactivate the referencing of an Advertisement, or configure this referencing according to a calendar.
In the event of violation of the rules for moderation of Advertisements or violation of any obligation of the Landlord to its contractual obligations provided for by the Terms of Use, legal or regulatory, the Advertisement may be subject to removal by Studapart.

As part of the use of the Platform, the Landlord may receive amounts from online payment.
