| THESE BOOKING CONDITIONS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONTRACT FORMED BETWEEN THE OWNERS AND THE CLIENT WHEN THE CLIENT RECEIVES CONFIRMATION.
The contract shall be governed by English law in every particular including formation and interpretation and shall be deemed to have been made in England. Any proceedings arising out of or in connection with the contract may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in England.
1. The property known as 'Les Bouleaux', 'The Property', is offered for holiday rental, subject to it's continued availability for rental, and confirmation by: Mr & Mrs Dorey, 8 Bishops Drive, Salisbury SP2 8NZ. 'The Owners', to the renter, 'The Client'.
2. To reserve the Property the Client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non refundable deposit (25% of the total rental due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit the Owner will send a confirmation statement. This is the formal acceptance of the booking. *
3. The non-refundable balance of the rent is due not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within 10 weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking. For the 2021 Coronavirus affected booking season payments made will be refunded if travel restrictions prevent travel to and a stay in France during the dates that you have reserved or if you decide not to go because of quarantine costs on your return.
4. Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a non-insurable cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to re-let the Property. An administration charge of £50 will be deducted from the refundable amount. The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover). and to have full cover for the party's personal belongings, public liability etc, since these are not covered by the Owner's insurance.
5. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. heating, babysitting, extra cleaning etc.) must be settled locally with the Owners representative or the persons providing the service before departure.
6. A security deposit of £300 is required in case of, for example, losses or damage to the property or its contents or extra cleaning. However the sum reserved by this clause will not limit the Client's liability to the Owner. The Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within 2 weeks of the end of the rental period.
7. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good and diligent care of the Property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. Although a 'changeover' clean is included in the rental cost. the Owner reserves the right to make an additional charge if the Property is left in an unacceptable condition. The Client also agrees not to act in any way that would cause disturbance to those residents in neighbouring properties.
8. The rental period shall commence at 4.00pm on the first day and finish at 10.00am on the last day. Any change to this arrangement must be agreed and confirmed in writing by the Owner. Part weeks may be available at the owners discretion, however the minimum price for a part week will be 50% of the original price.
9. The maximum number to reside in the Property must not exceed eight unless the Owner has given written permission. The Client must not sub-let the Property to a third party.
10.
The client shall report to the Owners without delay any defects in the building or breakdown of equipment. Arrangements for repair or replacement will be made ASAP, subject to clause 6 above.
11. The Owner will not be liable to the Client in the event of;
- Any temporary defect or cessation in the supply of public services to the Property, neither in respect of any equipment in the Property or garden.
- Any loss, damage or injury which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the owners.
- For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the property should be destroyed or in any way rendered uninhabitable before the start of the rental period. And in any such event the Owner shall within seven days of notification to the Client, refund to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.
12. We are obliged by law to maintain a suitable protection against infants falling into the swimming pool by accident. The sensor alarm, fitted to our pool, complies with this law, and the Client, by agreeing to these terms and conditions must immediately report to the Owners any operational faults during their stay. We strongly recommend that infants are only allowed to play in the back garden when a responsible adult is in attendance.
13. Under no circumstances shall the Owners liability to the client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental.
14. A signed and returned reservation form will be accepted by the Owners as the Clients acknowledgement of their acceptance of the above terms and conditions.
