STANDARD
BOOKING CONDITIONS
1. This contract is for the hire of holiday/vacation
accommodation by the persons named below only [the Hirer(s)] and for
the period specified below only and is under French jurisdiction.
The Hirers are responsible for making their own travel arrangements
and must take out their own comprehensive travel/holiday
insurance. It is a condition of booking as stipulated by
the EU Travel Directive. Important: Your Insurance must include
third party personal liability.
2. The Hirers accept that the accommodation Owners,
their Agents or Employees shall not be held responsible or liable
for any accident or injury to any members of the party or visitors,
howsoever caused, nor for loss or damage to any personal goods or
property, howsoever caused. Children must be supervised at all
times.
3. The Owners are relieved from liabilities if the
accommodation should become unavailable for any unforeseen circumstances.
In this event a refund may be made limited to the maximum rental fee
paid by the Hirers and every assistance will be given to secure alternative
accommodation for you.
4.Under
any circumstances, the Owner’s maximum liability will be limited to
the amount of rent paid by the Hirers.
5. It is the Hirers responsibility to satisfy themselves
that the style, type, standard and location of the accommodation suits
their purposes. All information is on the website and includes subjective
opinion. French Regulations and standards apply.
6. Hirers are responsible and liable for
all damage or breakages during their stay, whether accidental or negligent
and are required to replace or pay for damage/breakages. We do not
like the principle of holding an 'in case of damage' security bond
from you but wed do ask you kindly to replace anything that gets broken
or damaged and to respect the accommodation and all its contents for
us and all future Hirers. If you are unable to replace an item for
any reason, you must let us know immediately so that
we can ensure that the next Hirers receive the full benefit of completely
equipped accommodation, which of course, as you will appreciate, they
rightfully deserve. Any necessary repairs, replacements etc. will
be charged to you at cost only and we will give you all reasonable
assistance for you to recover the cost from your Insurer, where appropriate.
7. If it is deemed by us in our reasonable
opinion, or by any person in authority, that the behaviour of any
member of your party, or person you invite to the accommodation, causes
or would be likely to cause danger, distress, offence or upset to
a third party or damage to the accommodation your holiday will be
terminated immediately and the accommodation must be vacated at once,
without recourse.
8. The Hirers must first
seek the Owners written approval if they intend to throw a party,
host a reception, entertain visitors or do professional or commercial
business at the accommodation, or the Hirers will be in Breach of
Contract. Such written approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Please note that pets are not allowed at the accommodation.
9. Upon receipt by the Hirers all the keys
to the accommodation become the Hirers responsibility at all times
and must be returned to us immediately after your stay and remain
your responsibility until they are received back by us. The property
must be alarmed and fully locked when unattended.
10. The accommodation is available from 16.00
hours on the day of arrival and must be vacated in
a clean, tidy and hygienic condition by 10.00 am on the day of departure.
You must remove all household waste before you leave. This
is to enable the cleaners to prepare the property for the next Hirers.
We reserve the right to make a surcharge if the accommodation requires
more than the normal amount of time to clean and prepare for the next
Hirers or if more than the normal amount of laundry is required to
be done; or the next Hirers entry into the accommodation is delayed
because it is not possible to commence cleaning by 10.00 am. All bed
linen is supplied. Towels provided by request.
11. A
deposit of 30% of the total is payable upon booking. The balance
must be paid 2 months prior to the holiday together with a separate
payment for the customary damage security deposit of £1000.
*This will be refunded to you in full after your
holiday assuming that there are no unexpected damage(s) or associated
or extra expenses incurred by the owner or his agents or employees
as a result of your stay at the villa. An increased damage security
deposit may be required for longer duration rentals or where there
is a maximum occupancy of the villa. Deposits on cancelled bookings
are not returnable (except as noted in condition 3 above) but we will
give you all reasonable assistance for you to recover your costs from
your insurer where appropriate. Please kindly note that if payment
in full is not received 2 months before the holiday, the booking will
be deemed to have been cancelled and the villa will be re-let. Please
make your own diary note as reminders are not sent.
12.

Booking Conditions. To book the accommodation, please complete the

normally be by return of post. Bookings are on a “first come first
served” basis and are only firm once the deposit has been received
