  • The rented premises must be returned no later than 10 a.m. on the day following the end of the rental period.

Any access to the site outside this time frame will give rise to additional invoicing.

Article 7. Special facilities

Any modification or transformation to the structures, in particular floors, walls, ceilings and lighting, etc., as well as any specific fitting out or decoration of the premises or exterior (lighting, pictures, sound equipment, tent or marquee, flowers, etc.) must be subject to prior written agreement from CIBLE. They must be carried out by professionals selected and approved by CIBLE. All resulting costs will be invoiced to the Customer according to specific invoicing. All such modifications, alterations or fittings must comply with safety regulations for establishments open to the public. 

The use of wax candles is prohibited.

Any decorations or special fittings left in place after the return date will be subject to financial penalties based on the daily rental rate, which may be deducted from the security deposit.

Article 8. Tidying up, cleaning and waste disposal for bare site rentals

Tidying up: the premises must be left tidy and empty: all furniture must be put away in the place indicated, and as explained on entering the premises, no decorative items, kitchen accessories, food or drinks not belonging to CIBLE must be left behind.

Waste: household waste must be removed by the customer.

If the rented premises are not returned in accordance with the conditions stipulated above, the “refurbishment” package will be applied.

Article 9. Liability: damage, fire, theft

The customer is solely responsible for his event, with regard to participants, exhibitors and service providers.

Consequently, he must ensure that the purpose of his event complies with current legislation. He/she shall be personally responsible for obtaining any and all authorizations required to hold the event.

In this respect, the Customer shall reimburse CIBLE for any fines or financial penalties imposed on CIBLE as a result of the Customer’s actions.

Under no circumstances may CIBLE be held responsible for damage of any nature whatsoever, in particular fire or theft, which may affect the persons or equipment present during the preparation and holding of the event, from the establishment of the entry inventory of fixtures to that of the exit inventory of fixtures.

Article 10. Insurance

The Customer undertakes to use the rented property with due care, and to take particular care, under his sole responsibility, to ensure that the event he is organizing runs smoothly.
CIBLE declares that it has taken out fire and explosion insurance for the rented premises, and that any goods brought into the premises by the Customer must be insured by the Customer.
CIBLE has taken out civil liability insurance. However, this insurance does not exclude the Customer’s liability for costs incurred by his staff, customers, service providers, guests, visitors or himself. It is therefore the Customer’s responsibility to take out insurance covering the event it is organizing, the facilities it may involve, and the goods and persons it authorizes to use the rented sites.
The Customer also undertakes to take out civil liability insurance covering the risks inherent in his event.

Article 11. Force majeure

The obligations contained herein will not be applicable or will be suspended if their execution has become impossible due to a case of force majeure such as: act of public authority, war, natural disaster, fire, flood, strike…
Each party shall inform the other as soon as possible in the event of a force majeure event preventing it from performing all or part of its contractual obligations.
The parties shall make every effort to prevent or reduce the effects of non-performance of the contract caused by an event of force majeure: the party wishing to invoke an event of force majeure must immediately notify the other party of the beginning and end of this event, failing which it cannot be relieved of its responsibility.

Article 12. Disputes

In the event of any dispute or difference arising from the interpretation or execution of the various articles of these general terms and conditions of sale, the DIJON Commercial Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
