The guarantee of the services offered shall respond to the following articles based on the Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, which approves the revised text of the General Consumer and User Protection Act and other complementary laws:

Conformity of services with the contract

1. In the absence of proof to the contrary, the services shall be deemed to be in accordance with the contract provided that they meet all of the following requirements, unless the circumstances of the case make any one of them inapplicable:

a) They comply with the description given by ASPASIOS.

b) Are suitable for the uses to which services of the same type are normally assigned.

c) Are suitable for any special use required by the CUSTOMER, when the CUSTOMER has informed ASPASIOS at the time of the conclusion of the contract, provided that ASPASIOS has admitted that the service is suitable for this use.

d) They are of a standard quality and performance of a service of the same type which the customer can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the service and, where applicable, the descriptions of the specific characteristics of the services made by ASPASIOS.

e) ASPASIOS describes the details, technical features and photographs of the properties provided by the property owners and is not bound by these public statements.

2. The lack of conformity resulting from a service not performed or rendered shall be equated to the lack of conformity of the contract, provided that the responsibility for the same lies with ASPASIOS or under its responsibility. On the contrary, when the service not performed or rendered is due to negligence or malpractice of the CUSTOMER, it shall not be considered a fault of ASPASIOS and shall be considered in accordance with the terms of the contract.

3. No liability shall be incurred for any lack of conformity of which the CUSTOMER is aware or could not have been unaware at the time of conclusion of the contract or which originates from information supplied by the CUSTOMER.

Responsibility of ASPASIOS

The PROVIDER shall be liable to the CUSTOMER for any lack of conformity at the time of delivery of the accommodation. ASPASIOS recognises the right of the CUSTOMER to repair the service, to its replacement, to a price reduction and to the termination of the contract.

Repair and Replacement of Accommodation Service

1. If the hosting service does not comply with the contract, the CUSTOMER may choose between demanding repair or replacement, unless one of these options proves impossible or disproportionate. From the moment the CUSTOMER informs ASPASIOS of the option chosen, both parties shall abide by it. This decision by the CUSTOMER is without prejudice to the provisions in cases where the repair or replacement fails to bring the service into conformity with the contract.

2. Any form of remedy that involves unreasonable costs for ASPASIOS in comparison with the alternative form of remedy, taking into account the value that the service would have if there were no lack of conformity, the significance of the lack of conformity and whether the alternative form of remedy could be carried out without major inconvenience to the CUSTOMER, shall be considered disproportionate.

Repair and replacement shall comply with the following rules:

– The necessary expenses incurred to remedy the lack of conformity of the contracted services shall be free of charge for the CUSTOMER.

– They shall be carried out within a reasonable period and without major inconvenience to the CUSTOMER, taking into account the nature of the services and the purpose for which they were provided to the CUSTOMER.

– If, once the repair has been completed and the property has been delivered, it is still not in conformity with the contract, the CUSTOMER may demand its replacement, a price reduction or termination of the contract.

– If the replacement fails to bring the property into conformity with the contract, the CUSTOMER may demand the repair of the property, a price reduction or termination of the contract.

Price Reduction and Termination of the Contract

The price reduction and termination of the contract shall proceed, at the CUSTOMER’s discretion, when the CUSTOMER cannot demand the repair or replacement of the service and in cases where this has not been carried out within a reasonable period or without major inconvenience to the CUSTOMER. The termination shall not apply where the non-conformity is minor.

Criteria for Price Reduction

The price reduction shall be proportional to the difference between the value that the service would have had at the time of delivery if it had been in accordance with the contract and the value that the service actually delivered had at the time of delivery.

Time Frames

Unless proven otherwise, it shall be deemed as delivered on the day stated on the booking. The CUSTOMER shall inform ASPASIOS of the non-conformity as soon as they become aware of it or, at the latest, at the end of the stay. In the absence of proof to the contrary, it shall be understood that the CUSTOMER’s communication has taken place within the established period.

“Rules specific to each apartment. The house rules are handed out on arrival and set out guidelines relating to aspects of the day-to-day running of the apartment (e.g. keeping quiet at certain times, putting rubbish away, etc.). It is obvious that these rules, which are often common sense and facilitate coexistence with other neighbours, must be respected. It is important to respect neighbours’ rest, so we ask our guests not to carry out noisy activities, especially between 10pm and 8am. It is also important to avoid all actions that may disturb neighbours, such as loud music, noise, etc. Parties and people entering who are not staying in the apartment are not permitted in order to respect neighbours’ rest. Good use must be made of the common areas or common elements of the building where the tourist accommodation is located, as well as to behave civically both in the tourist accommodation and in the building in which it is located.
