The User/Client undertakes to use this service in accordance with the Spanish law, morality, good customs and public order, and in accordance with the provisions of these General Conditions for online booking. Consequently, the User agrees not to use these services for purposes that are illicit and/or contrary to the provisions of these General Conditions, against the law and/or against the interests of third parties or in any way that may damage the services provided by GECR GV and managed by Greystar and/or their image. 


  1. A) Accommodation Booking Service Using the Online Booking Engine.
    The purpose of this type of online booking service is to allow any interested client to book accommodation in any of the apartments owned by GECR GV and managed by Greystar. 

 
This accommodation booking service is formalised through an engine managed by a Spanish outsourced company called INTERDOCS SOLUCIONES DIGITALES, S.L. with registered office in Barcelona (08034) Calle Doctor August Pi i Sunyer 9-11 bajos, Tax Identification Number (NIF) B-64554629 and registered in the Commercial Register of Barcelona, acting under the trade name Witbooking. The provision of management and administration services is carried out privately through an online booking engine system it owns, an application called “Witbooker Pro” which is used to book accommodation in any of the apartments owned by GECR GV. This system allows the client to make a reservation directly and quickly through the aforementioned website www.granviewapartments.com. This company will also be responsible for the maintenance service of this booking engine in the event of incidents or breakdowns. 

 
This booking engine system is hosted on the server of INTERDOCS SOLUCIONES DIGITALES or Provider, which as the data processor undertakes to comply with the security standards required by current Spanish law, and among others, by the Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantees of Digital Rights, by adopting all measures to ensure the security of any personal data obtained through this online booking module/section linked to the granviewapartments.com Website. Furthermore, this Provider guarantees that it uses a TLS 1.2. communications encryption system and/or the HTTPS (HttpSecure-Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) cryptographic security protocol combination system. 

 
This guarantees the security of communications and data transfers with RSA 2048-bit encryption (SHA256withRSA). The Provider also has a current “SSL Report” security certification. 

 
A.1. Booking Conditions and Hiring Procedure. 
The User/Client must fill in a booking form for any of the apartments on offer, and following this form, on the right-hand side of the website, the general booking conditions are posted so that the user is duly informed before continuing with the payment and hiring process. 
The general accommodation hiring Conditions checkbox will appear in the section called “method of payment” and must be checked by the Client if he/she agrees with such conditions for the online accommodation hiring process to be considered effectively formalised. 

 
Once the User has filled in the form with all the data and submitted it, the User will receive confirmation of the booking immediately by means of an e-mail from the apartments, in which the User will be assigned a booking confirmation number. This email will serve as confirmation and proof of your reservation. Payment of the accommodation booking will be made on the day of arrival at the apartment, except for bookings with prepayment conditions, which will be paid at the time of acceptance of the booking form. On the day of arrival, the Client will be asked to pay a fixed amount of €300, as a security deposit, to cover possible damages that may be caused to the apartment. Regarding this deposit, the Client shall make the payment by debit/credit card or, if the Client does not have a card, payment shall be made in cash. This amount will be refunded after the departure of the Client, and once the condition of the accommodation has been checked. 

 
A.2. Cancellation policy. 
Reservations made through this Website will be guaranteed by the credit/debit card provided by the Client/User on the form. Early cancellation policies will be set out in the booking conditions according to the rate chosen by the Client.  

Cancellation policies for no-shows or cancellations outside the period agreed in the offer are set out in the booking conditions based on the selected rate. 

If the client decides to leave the apartment before the end of the contracted stay, a penalty of 40% of the price corresponding to the number of nights not used will be charged. However, in the case of bookings with prepayment or non-refundable conditions, the penalty will consist of the total paid amount of the stay. 

You can only cancel an online reservation in writing, by sending an email to the reception desk of the apartments (recepcion@granviewapartments.com) or through the link provided in the booking confirmation email.

In order to start the booking process for this type of stay in any of the apartments on offer, the User/Client must have entered in his/her contact details in the online form available in the “Extended Stay” section.

After accepting the quotation, the client must provide his/her personal details in order to draw up the accommodation contract. The contract will be sent by email to the Client, who must return it signed by the same means, within a maximum period of 72 hours. At the same time, the Client must make a payment on account for the stay corresponding to 1 month or 50% of the total cost of the stay depending on the total length of the stay contracted (hereinafter “payment on account”). If the Client fails to carry out any of these steps within the deadline provided, the booking will be considered invalidated. 

For urgent bookings (24 hours in advance or less), it is essential to contact the reception desk of the apartments directly by telephone. 

 
The payment of the rest of the reservation shall be made on the day of arrival at the apartment, unless the reserved rate includes different payment conditions that had been provided to the Client in advance. On the day of arrival, the Client must pay a fixed amount of €1000 as a security deposit to cover any possible damage that may be caused to the apartment. Regarding this deposit, the Client shall make the payment by debit/credit card or, if the Client does not have a card, payment shall be made in cash. This amount will be refunded after the departure of the Client, and once the condition of the accommodation has been checked. 

B.2. Cancellation Policy: 

If the Client cancels 15 days or more before the date of arrival, a penalty of 50% of the payment on account will be applied. If the Client does not show up (no-show) or cancels less than 15 days before the date of arrival, a penalty of 100% of the payment on account will be applied. 

If, during the stay, the Client decides to leave the apartment before the end of the contracted period, the Client will be penalised with the entire security deposit.
