In French, the choice between *tu* and *vous* signals the level of familiarity. The imperative ‘Confirme’ pairs with *tu* and is perfect for peers, but in a professional setting you’d say ‘Confirmez l'heure de votre rendez‑vous.’ Also, note that *rendez‑vous* is always written with a hyphen and never changes in the plural.
