The site offers social networking features to facilitate the development and operation of the online community. This feature allows members to provide personal information such as professional activities, hobbies, interests, photos, etc.. Such information is provided by the member and may be modified at any time, directly on the site. The profile information of the member is available to other members. Personal address and telephone information is only shared after a booking has been made between two members.
Booking Services
The site facilitates and secures transactions between individuals of different languages, cultures, currencies , banking systems, and legal systems. To do this, it offers the tourist the opportunity to make all transactions (deposit, security deposit, balance) on line with his credit card (or Paypal account).
The Company is not a party to the rental contract, but provides the online booking service. Thus, each vacation rental, home exchange, and guest room results in a specific contract between the members. Any dispute concerning the non-enforcement of a clause in the contract will be settled between the two parties to the contract. The Company may provide arbitration at the request of either party, but is in no way responsible for any breach of contract.
Bookings are finalized online, after both parties have accepted the Company's sales terms and the terms of contract between them.
To facilitate transactions between its members, the site offers a contract for both parties that includes their personal data. To expedite the process, you grant us the right to proceed with the transaction after receiving the simple electronic agreement of both parties. The act of checking a box provided for that purpose after the posting of the contract is considered as an electronic agreement. You agree that the data stored by the website concerning your reservation will be considered authoritative. Such data are admissible under the same conditions and with the same value of material proof as any document to be prepared, received or retained in writing.
Online payment
The site offers a complete online booking & payment process. This procedure is detailed in chapter 8. You can perform all operations on line with your credit card (or Paypal account). These operations are of three types (A, B, C) and are usually completed in three stages:
- Payment of a deposit at the time of booking (A) and pre-authorization to debit the balance (B)
- Payment of the balance (B) before entering the premises and pre-authorization for the security deposit (C),
- At the end of the stay and following the inventory, release of the security deposit authorization (except in the case of damages).
Card payments are processed through the secure banking system provided by CM-CIC. All credit card data is immediately encrypted and is neither recorded on the Site nor visible to any third party.
By using the Site to make a reservation, you authorize the Company to charge your credit card or your Paypal account the amount indicated on the summary page of your reservation. You are not allowed to cancel your payment, unless you are certain that your credit card details have been lost or stolen.
The Company is licensed to hold an escrow account. It receives payment from travelers by credit card, then pays the owner amount due via bank wire.

3. Complete your reservation form with the required information about your trip (number of persons travelling, special needs,...)
4. Your request is sent directly to your host who must confirm availability within 48 hours at the latest. During this period, he may ask you for additional information about yourself or your trip.
5. If the accommodation is confirmed as available, you will receive a summary of your order that can be modified or cancelled directly on the website. To validate your reservation, you will be requested to make an advance payment of 30% (or 100% if you choose to benefit from total cancelation flexibility). The downpayment must be made by credit card, Paypal, or wire. You will also be asked to provide authorisation to debit your card for the remaining amount of your stay as well as a security deposit. These amounts are not debited up front.
You do not have any advance payment to make for a home exchange, but are required to pay the subscription price for listing your home on the website.
6. Confirm your trip, including all relevant travel details, at least five days prior to arrival. The remaining amount of your payment will be debited (if you paid by credit card) and you will be sent a receipt along with all the details concerning your host and your accommodation.
7. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by the host or his representative. Paris-Sharing provides owners with a network of "Paris Greeters" (Paris and surrounding areas only). The welcome involves three steps :
- We'll meet you at the place of your choosing: the airport, train station, or directly at the accommodation.
- We'll give you a tour of the accommodation, with explanations if necessary on how to use the amenities. You will be given an arrival inventory on which you can make any observations.
- We'll confirm any additional services you may have ordered, hand you over the keys and wish you the best of stays!
8. At the end of your stay, we'll arrange a check-out with you and your host or his representative as a necessary formality to insure that everything is in good shape, as it was left to you.
Payment
All payments are made directly on the Site by credit card or via PayPal.
You may also pay, in whole or in part any lease using his credit points "Parishares". Upon payment, you must specify the number of points you wish to use to reduce the amount due.
Once the reservation is confirmed, you agree to pay any amount owed to the Company as scheduled.
For a rental or guest room:
- You decide at the time of booking to pay either 30% of the total sum as a deposit, or 100% in return for flexibility in case of cancellation (see Cancellation Terms)
- The balance must be paid before arrival.
For a home exchange, you pay the amount of subscription upon booking.
Cancellation policy
You may cancel your reservation and get your money back in part or in full provided you pay entirely for your stay at the time of booking. The amount you'll be reimbursed depends on how long before your scheduled arrival you cancel :
More than 30 days before the trip: 100%
Less than 30 days before the trip: 70%
If you pay only a deposit of 30% at the time of booking, this amount will not be refunded if you cancel. The balance that you settled 5 days before your arrival will be reimbursed according to the rule cited above.
We also provide special cancellation insurance at a minimal cost.
Vacation rental agreement
Duration of the rental
Under no circumstances can the stay be extended without prior written approval of the Owner. The total duration of the contract may not extend beyond a maximum of 80 days from the initial date of occupation.
Rent/Expenses
The Renter has agreed to pay a price per night, all expenses included, displayed on the Paris-Sharing.com website at the time of reservation. Both parties have agreed that this amount will be settled via the Paris-Sharing.com payment system according to its terms and conditions.
The renter has been given the option to make a partial downpayment (30%) upon reservation, or to settle the amount in full. In the case of a partial downpayment, any remaining balance must be settled five days prior to arrival. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the reservation.
The Renter acknowledges receipt of a payment confirmation for payments already made.
Cancellation
Both parties agree to adhere to the Paris--Sharing.com cancellation policy, which entitles each party to partial indemnity. Details of this policy are included in the terms and conditions, available on the Paris-Sharing.com website.
A renter who terminates the rental prior to the departure date listed above shall not be entitled to a refund unless the owner has committed a serious offence or misrepresented the apartment.
Insurance and liability
The Renter is not responsible for any damages caused by events beyond his control (fire, water, intrusion); however, he remains entirely responsible for damages directly caused by his own action. As such, he agrees to compensate the Owner for any such damages. The amount of compensation is equivalent to the lesser of cost of repair or replacement.
In addition, French law requires the Renter to carry liability insurance that covers accidental damages caused to the rented property. If the Renter does not already carry such insurance, Paris-Sharing.com can provide an insurance contract specifically for the length of the stay. It is the responsibility of the renter to be able to provide evidence of appropriate coverage.
The Owner declines responsibility for damage or theft of the borrower’s personal items.
Security Deposit
The Renter authorizes Paris-Sharing.com to secure a deposit authorization equal to four times the price per night, with a minimum of 500€. Some or all of this deposit may be used in case of any damages caused by the renter to the apartment or to any of its furnishings during the stay.
The deposit authorization will be dropped, at the latest, two weeks following departure, provided the Owner and the Renter agree that no damage has been caused.
In the case of damage or missing items, the Owner will withhold the amount deemed necessary for repair or replacement, based on material evidence. If the actual amount for the repairs is less than the estimate, the Renter will receive reimbursement for the difference. Some damages may be covered by the Renter’s insurance policy, and will be reimbursed according to the terms of that policy.
As it is expected that the apartment be rendered clean (waste bins emptied, dishes, appliances and toilets cleaned), the amount of 25€ or 50€ may be deducted in case any or several of these tasks have not been carried out, and / or if the premises are left requiring more than standard housecleaning.
Check-in and check-out
In order to avoid misunderstandings about any damages observed by the owner after the renter’s stay, both parties will sign a document upon arrival that describes the state of the premises and the inventory of available furnishings. If necessary, this document will serve as a reference upon check-out.
Standard check-in time is 3pm and check-out time is 11am. Other times are possible, in agreement with the Owner.
General Conditions
The renter agrees to adhere to the following conditions:
- The apartment is not to be used for commercial purposes
- The renter will make every effort not to disturb the neighbours (noise, trash, smoke, etc...)
- The renter may modify neither the apartment nor the furniture
- The renter authorizes the Owner to perform emergency repairs during the duration of the agreement without requesting any indemnity.
The competent judicial tribunal associated with the apartment location will preside over any litigation.
9 - Terms applicable to owners
Payment of income
By accepting these terms, you mandate the Company to collect rental or other income on your behalf, through its online payment system.
In agreement with you, we set a cost per night that represents at least 150% of what you would normally receive in terms of rental income if your apartment were permanently rented. We calculate the cost per night based on an index of going market rates, neighborhood by neighborhood, provided by public sources such as Meilleuragent.com (for France).

The home that is of greater rental value entitles its owner to receive 2 P$ (PariShares) per euro of price difference.
Example :
A town house in San Francisco displays a price / night 140 €. An apartment in Paris displays a price / night 120 €. The requested stay is 15 nights.
Each member pays an annual subscription at the time of booking. The difference in price / night of 20 € allows the host in San Francisco to win $ 40 P $ (see PariShares).
