Any booking made by you, whether through our website or otherwise, shall
be deemed an offer by you to rent the relevant villa subject to these
Terms & Conditions. All
bookings through us and all matters arising from them are subject to
English law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
England
and
Wales
. The person who makes the booking accepts these conditions on
behalf of all members of the party and is responsible for all payment due
from the party. By submitting a booking you warrant and confirm to us that
you have read these Terms & Conditions and agree to comply with them.
Liability:
In consideration of the fact that the Agent acts only as a booking agent,
the Agent accepts no liability whatsoever under these Terms And
Conditions, for any aspect of the arrangements and, in particular, accepts
no liability for any loss, personal injury/illness or death however
incurred. Although the Agent uses all reasonable endeavours to ensure the
accuracy of all information provided and the quality and facilities of the
villas, we cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any problems that
occur while guests occupy the villa. All
information has been provided in good faith and no liability is accepted
whatsoever by the Agent for any misrepresentation of villa material or
accommodation. The Villa owner
or the Agent will not be liable for any loss or delay to or cancellation
of your holiday due to industrial disputes, riot, threat of hostilities,
political unrest, natural disasters, aircraft grounding, closure of
airports, weather conditions or any other circumstances beyond their
control.
Payments:
Subject
to the Terms and Conditions,
a
deposit payment for all villas is required at the time of booking and must
be received within 7 days to secure the booking.
This
is 30% of the full payment (or full payment if booking within 6
weeks of
the date of arrival). In the event that the Agent is unable to
obtain final confirmation of availability for the selected villa a full
refund of the amount paid will be made. Booking confirmation together with
location/directions for the villa will be sent by email. Where an initial
deposit has been paid, the balance must be paid within 6 weeks of the date of
arrival, whether demanded by us or not. If this
is not paid within 7 days of it being due, then subject to these Terms And
Conditions, we reserve the right to cancel the villa booking without any
refund.
Changes
by you
Should
you wish to make any changes to your confirmed booking, you must notify
the Agent in writing as soon as possible. Whilst we will endeavour to
assist, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests.
Where we can, an amendment fee may be payable together with any costs
incurred by ourselves.
Cancellation
by you:
You
may cancel your booking at any
time however, under
these Terms and Conditions, no
refund will be made for any monies paid. In certain cases any loss, if
incurred involuntarily, may be covered by insurance that you may have
taken out.
Changes
or cancellation by the Villa Owner
:
Subject
to the Terms and Conditions,
if deemed necessary, the Agent reserves the right to change the villa booking. In this
event, you will be offered a villa of similar size and specification in
the same cul de sac, if possible. If you subsequently decide
to cancel your booking, an administration fee of £100 will be
payable. The
Agent also reserves the right to withdraw or cancel the villa booking. In
this unlikely event, you may be offered the choice of renting another
villa through the Agent (subject to availability) with the price
difference payable/refundable as appropriate, or of receiving a full
refund of all monies paid to the Villa Owner. Under
these Terms and Conditions, no compensation will be payable by

your party. Please read your policy details carefully. It is your

for your particular needs.
Security:
You
are responsible for the security of the villa while you are staying there,
ensuring that you close windows, lock doors, close curtains and set
burglar alarms (if appropriate) as failure to do this is
likely to invalidate any insurance. You

that may result.

do not behave in a way which causes offence or danger to others or which
risks damage to property belonging
to others. It is your responsibility to ensure that the
accommodation and all its facilities are used solely by those individuals
accepted for the booking and included in the party details. Any persons,
other than those accepted for the booking and included in the party
details, found occupying the accommodation will be required to vacate
the accommodation immediately and, as a result of being in breach of the
booking terms and conditions, you and your party will be required to

your behalf, and there will be no refunds, no payment of compensation and
no reimbursement of any cost or expenses you may incur as a result.

damage or breakages to the property caused by you or any of your party and
in the event of such occurrence, the incident must be reported to the
Agent immediately in order that the matter may be brought to the attention
of the villa owner for immediate and appropriate compensation to be made. Clients

being granted, it is the client’s responsibility to return the same to
its original position before checkout.

the cost of any air-conditioning is included in the villa price, or paid
for as a supplement, the units must only be used while you are in the
property, with all windows and doors kept closed. Under no circumstances
must the units be left on while the property is unoccupied.

Any building work which may commence in the local area is outside of
our control, and we cannot be held responsible for any resulting
disturbance.

be considered to adversely affect the enjoyment of your holiday under these
Terms And Conditions we will notify you as soon as possible, and wherever
possible will offer you the opportunity to transfer to an alternative
property at the advertised price. Whilst
we assure you of our best endeavours to minimize any inconvenience we
regret that we cannot accept any liability in this case.

may be able to provide one baby cot and/or one extra bed. Please check
with us should this be required. It should be noted that the extra bed
would be of the folding 'camp bed' style and therefore may only be

style.

Alterations
by the Agent:
Although
the Agent makes every effort to ensure that advertised descriptions are
correct, we do not own any of the villas and therefore cannot control or
prevent changes. Although changes to villas advertised are infrequent, the
Agent reserves the right to change the description of any villa or service
at any time, in which case we will endeavour to notify you of all changes
before commencement of the booking date, if it is practical to do so. No
compensation will be payable by the Agent in such cases. No claims will be
accepted for costs or additional expenses incurred as a result of any
changes.
