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 they
choose 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 we 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 fully locked when unattended.
10. The accommodation, which is self-catering, is available
from 16.00 hours on the day of arrival and must
be vacated in a clean, tidy and hygienic condition by 10.30 am on
the day of departure.
Please leave all crockery, cutlery, utensils
and pans in a clean state and stored away properly in the cupboards
ready for the next visitors.
You must remove all your household waste
out of the apartment before you depart and put it in the apartment
building's communal bins.
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 10.30 am. All bed linen is supplied. Please
note that towels and tea towels are not provided.
The
price for the accommodation includes all electricity,
water and gas charges (and heating should it ever be required), all
bed linen and end-of-stay laundry charges, end-of-stay cleaning costs,
concierge fees, and all local charges and taxes.
11. A
deposit of 30% of the total rental cost is payable upon booking.
The balance must be paid 2 months prior to the holiday. 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 accommodation
will be re-let. Please make your own diary note as reminders
are not sent.
Payment
is by cheque in £ sterling made payable to Tony Cremer-Price
OR by various payment cards (but not American Express). To protect
your security, please phone Tony direct with your card details.
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
