Terms of payment

The rates are for a group of 10 people at most and don't include taxes to pay. Total taxes to pay are 19%, such as: 3.5% Quebec Lodging Tax; 5% GST and 9.975% PST.

The rental price, including taxes, is payable in advance. 30% of that price is prepaid the day of the booking by means of a credit card transaction. The balance is automatically prepaid 30 days before the check in, by the same means and on the same credit card.

The security deposit is automatically pre-authorized on the same credit card a week before the check in. The preauthorization is valid until the inspection of the cottage by the owner, no later than one week after the check out.

The lessee must report diligently to Prestige Charlevoix by e-mail of the cancellation of all or part of the booking. The lessee then has no right to a refund, because the owner may automatically withhold from the rental price already prepaid a fixed indemnity equal to that amount.

In case of a late check-out or for an exceeding number of occupants or of occupied rooms, the lessee agrees to a rental price adjustment in accordance to current rates (accessible online : http://www.prestigecharlevoix.com/en/chalets/ilaali).

The owner may then automatically withhold from the security deposit the amount of any rental price difference, without prejudice to his other rights.

In the event of damage to a leased property or when the lessee hands over the cottage in such a condition than it requires an unexpected housekeeping, an unexpected cleaning or any other unexpected maintenance, the owner may automatically withhold from the security deposit the amount of an estimate of the market value of the property or the cost of the required services, without prejudice to his other rights.

The CITQ is mandated by the Minister of Tourism of Quebec to administer the official classification of seven categories of tourist accommodation establishments. This establishment is visited by the CITQ every 24 months.

The classifier visits the establishment and, using hundreds of strict and objective criteria, rates:

• The quality of physical facilities (bedroom, bathroom, common areas, outside, etc.);
• Its appearance;
• Its cleanliness.

The classifier also looks at:

• Services offered;
• Certain environmental considerations.
