Terms and Conditions (valid from 1st January 2009):
- In these terms and conditions, the Owner shall mean the owner of the property; the property shall mean Cruck Cottage, 18 Bishopstrow; and the Holidaymaker shall mean the individual booking the property. - A deposit of £100 or the full rental charge is required to secure the booking, in conjunction with a written or email application. This will signify acceptance of these conditions. The person making the booking warrants that he/she is authorised to agree to these terms and conditions and is acting on behalf of all persons, including those substituted or who join the party at a later date. The person making the booking is responsible for ensuring that all persons occupying the property comply with these terms and conditions in all respects. The property can be occupied by the Holidaymaker only for holiday use, and no right to remain in the Property after the end of the holiday exists for the Holidaymaker or any persons who occupy the Property. All persons must vacate the property at the conclusion of the holiday. - The full rental charge must be paid no less than six weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday, or on application if the booking is made within six weeks of the commencement of the holiday. - Cancellation of the booking must be made in writing by the Holidaymaker. The effective date of the cancellation will be the date it is received by the Owner. If the cancellation date is more than ten weeks from the commencement of the holiday, any charges levied by the Owner on the Holidaymaker in connection with the holiday, including any deposit paid, will be repaid to the Holidaymaker in full. If the cancellation date is more than six weeks from the commencement of the holiday but less than ten weeks, the deposit will be retained by the Owner, but any other charges levied by the Owner on the Holidaymaker in connection with the holiday will be repaid to the Holidaymaker in full. If the cancellation date is less than six weeks from the commencement of the holiday, the deposit and any other charges levied by the Owner on the Holidaymaker in connection with the holiday will be payable to the Owner. - The Owner reserves the right to alter the Tariff without notice. If, as a result, the Holidaymaker wishes to withdraw from the booking, all monies received by the Owner from the Holidaymaker in connection with the holiday will be returned by the Owner to the Holidaymaker. - In the unlikely event that the Owner cancels a confirmed booking, all monies received by the Owner from the Holidaymaker in connection with the holiday will be returned by the Owner to the Holidaymaker. - The period of hire shall be from 3.00pm on the day of arrival ( or earlier if agreed in writing by the Owner) and the property must be vacated by 10.00am on the day of departure (or later if agreed in writing by the Owner). Unless otherwise agreed by the Owner, failure to arrive at the property by 10.00pm on the day of arrival will constitute cancellation of the booking, and all monies paid by the Holidaymaker in connection with the holiday will be forfeit to the Owner. - No more than 5 adults plus children under 15 (to be agreed in writing by the Owner) may occupy the property, and the property shall be used solely for holiday purposes: the holidaymaker may not sub-let the property or any part of the property, or any equipment from the property. The Owner reserves the right to refuse entry or terminate the hire without notice if these conditions are not observed. The Owner also reserves the right to refuse to hand over the property to any person who, in the Owners reasonable opinion, is not suitable to take charge. Rents will not be refunded. In such cases all liability of the Owner shall cease. - Smoking is not permitted within the property. - Pets are allowed at the property if agreed in writing by the Owner and at the discretion of the Owner. Dogs permitted downstairs only, and must be kept off the furniture. We ask that, as there is not a separate, enclosed area for dogs in the cottage, that they are not left unattended in the cottage at any time - The Holidaymaker shall at all times maintain the property and contents therein, in a clean and tidy condition and accept the property as it is equipped at the commencement of the hire. The holidaymaker must check the property immediately on arrival and notify the Owner or his representative of any faults or damaged items. The Holidaymaker is expected to leave the holiday accommodation in the same state of cleanliness order and general repair in which it was found. An additional charge may be made if extra cleaning is required. The holidaymaker shall be liable to the Owner for any loss, costs, expenses or claims arising from any damage caused to the property and/or its contents by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the Holidaymaker or of any person within his/her party. If, as a result of such damage, the property or any of its contents need to be repaired or any of the contents need to be replaced then the Holidaymaker shall be responsible for paying the reasonable costs of doing so. - In the unlikely event that the Holidaymaker, for any reason, is not satisfied with the accommodation, the Owner or his representative must be contacted so that the problem can be rectified immediately. Failure by the Holidaymaker to notify any complaint prior to departure will entitle the Owner to refuse to entertain the complaint, irrespective of its merits as it will be appreciated that it will then be impossible for the complaint to be effectively investigated. Under no circumstances will the Owners liability exceed the rental paid for the Property. - The Holidaymaker shall allow the Owner, his representative and employees entry to the premises for all reasonable purposes having given notice where possible. - No representative or employee of the Owner has any authority or right to modify any of these terms and conditions or to make any representation or undertake any liability on behalf of the Owner. - Whilst the Owner has used his best endeavours to ensure accuracy of all information supplied and details of the Property is given in good faith, no warranty is given as to their accuracy and he does not accept responsibility or liability for any loss or damage resulting from information given or statements made whether orally or in writing. - The Owner gives no guarantee or warranty as to the state or condition of the Property and will not be liable for any act, neglect or default on his part or any other person, nor for any accident, damage, loss, injury, expense or inconvenience whether to person or property which the Holidaymaker or any other person may suffer or incur. Although the Owner will use his best endeavours to fix any domestic appliances or other equipment/contents as soon as possible, the Holidaymaker acknowledges that due to the limited period of hire, it may not be possible to repair such items during the period of hire. - The clauses of these terms and conditions shall operate on the basis that the terms and conditions and provisions contained within them shall be severable so as to have effect as separate and distinct rights, provisions and obligations independently of the others. In all cases where any part of these terms and conditions is an unenforceable provision in terms of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or similar legislation, the unenforceable provision shall not effect the validity of the remaining portion of these terms and conditions, which remain in force as if the unenforceable provision had been eliminated. Nothing contained in these terms and conditions shall exclude the Owner from any responsibility which he has in law in so far as it is competently varied or excluded and these conditions shall be read and construed accordingly. English Law shall apply to all contractual obligations arising out of these terms and conditions.
