GENERAL TERMS OF USE FOR THE OWNER OF THE “GRASSE HOUSING” PLATFORM 

ARTICLE 1: Preamble

The Urban Community has made higher education a key focus of its regional development strategy. The local business community and the fragrance and flavor industry require candidates with top-tier educational backgrounds.

The Pays de Grasse Urban Communityhas created a new service:“Grasse Campus,” amulti-site regional campus. As a key driver of higher education development, it is designed to facilitate the establishment of new educational programs and provide access to high-quality education. Grasse Campus offers student housing solutions. It consists of three programs:

• Grasse Campus Academy, which manages relations with universities, institutions of higher education, and research laboratories
• Grasse Campus Housing, whose mission is to provide assistance with student housing
• Grasse Campus Life makes students' daily lives easier, particularly by organizing social events and academic gatherings.

Grasse CAMPUS HOUSING specializes in the creation, development, and provision of web platforms that enable universities and schools to offer their students a personalized and effective tool dedicated to finding student housing near their campuses and universities.

In particular, the platform allows property owners to post rental listings.
