LOCAL ASSISTANCE RIDER
To be signed and sent back with the lease contract.

This document is meant to define precisely what is included in the Welcome Local Assistance of your rental contract and which further assistance you may benefit of with the related charges.

 

We will be do all our best to assist you in case you need an intervention.

 

Generally speaking, the vast majority of our interventions are courtesy, and at no charge. However, please keep in mind that we do not provide the same level of services as a hotel, and charges may apply when customers are soliciting the Local Assistance repeatedly for interventions that are not justified, see http://www.usaparis.com/policies.htm. However, if you require additional services specifically, we will be happy to assist you, knowing that none of the charges listed in Annex will apply without your prior consent.

 

  1. A one-time meet and greet assistance by telephone upon or after check-in is provided. It is included in your rental. You need to contact the above numbers to benefit from that service.  We will guide you through and help you over the phone with how to use the apartment in general. We will also make sure with you that all the necessary and agreed items are provided in sufficient quantity, and take the necessary steps in case something is missing or damaged, or not in working condition.

     This will also help you to familiarize yourself with the appliances and various features of the apartment or the building, and the local resources, like groceries, cafes, banks etc...

    Concerning wifi connections, be sure to have the necessary knowledge to connect your computer to a wifi network, which requires some basic knowledge of the way to locate and login to wifi networks. Our agent will assist you during the welcome call, and explain you the login if needed. This information is located in your Arrival Instructions in most cases, or in the apartment Guide.
     
  2. Our assistance is available from the date and the time of your arrival and until the date and the time of departure as specified in your contract, provided you have a cellphone that works in Paris and where you can be reached at. Cellphones can be rented easily and in many places in Paris. To assist you, we provide also an inexpensive cellphone rental service. Feel free to contact our property management unit for more information.

  3. Our Agents being very busy, often you will have to leave a message and your call will be returned typically within 30 mns. For non-urgent interventions, send an email to vr@usaparis.com, which will resolve the problem within 24 hours, in most situations.

  4. BUSINESS HOURS FOR LOCAL INTERVENTIONS : 8 AM or 8.00 hour  to  7 PM or 19.00 hours, 7 days a week. No availability of our Agents is guaranteed outside these hours.

  5. Check-in hours are specified in our Terms of Use and/or lease contracts. The hour specified in the lease contract, if any, will prevail on all others. Due to the limitations of this type of rentals, there is no possible assistance after check-in hours, whichever the nature of the problem. See the consequences of late check-ins in our terms of use and lease contract

 

  1. FOR LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCIES, CALL THE FIREMEN #18 OR #112.

    TYPICAL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS : Where a malfunction is immediately threatening the safety and integrity of the occupants of or the apartment or the building.

7.     RESTRICTIONS:

 

Assistance should not be called or required before your arrival time as mentioned on your lease contract, which is generally 1 PM.. This does not apply if you paid the early arrival fee, but it does apply if you had a courtesy permission to check in before the contract hour. You may be reminded this and denied assistance before hours, including cases where cleaning is not done yet etc

 

Inconveniences, such as a non essential appliance malfunction, are taken care of within 6 hours to 1 business day and calls should be done during business hours above.  If you want to expedite and call the Office asap, a fee applies depending on the hours of your call, after email notification by our Local Assistance and written acceptation by customer (email or text message are OK).

 

For each intervention, you are required to sign a service form describing the nature of the intervention. You are free to add your comments and any restrictions, but if you refuse to sign the form, the service will be disrupted until the issue is resolved.

         RECOMMENDATIONS :


a.      Make sure that you understand how to operate the entrance door locks, they work differently in Paris. Feel free to call us, do not disturb neighbors.

b.     Using US appliances, even with adapters, like hair dryers or electric razors is strictly prohibited and causing hazards to the electrical installation.
