Terms & Conditions
1 HOLIDAY CONFIRMATION AND PAYMENT
1.1 Upon the Property Owner issuing a holiday confirmation form for the property to the Holidaymaker, a binding contract shall exist between the Holidaymaker and the Property Owner subject to these terms & conditions.
1.2 Where the Property Owner has not received the balance of the holiday cost by the due date (i.e. 42 days before the start of the holiday), an overdue reminder letter will be issued to the Holidaymaker. If the balance is still not received, the Property Owner reserves the right to cancel the holiday booking and to keep the deposit paid by the Holidaymaker and the Holidaymaker shall have no claim against the Property Owner for compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
2 CHANGES BY THE HOLIDAYMAKER
2.1 Immediately upon receipt of the holiday confirmation from the Property Owner, the Holidaymaker should check the details and notify the Property Owner immediately of any corrections as soon as possible. The Property Owner reserves the right to charge a holiday booking amendment fee in such circumstances.
3 CANCELLATION BY THE HOLIDAYMAKER
3.1 The holidaymaker should notify the Property Owner immediately and in writing of any intention to cancel the holiday booking. The cancellation only takes effect when the Property Owner has received written confirmation from the holidaymaker;
3.2 If the Property Owner is unable to re-let the holiday accommodation for the period of the cancelled holiday, all monies paid by the holidaymaker to the Property Owner (including any fees for pets) shall be forfeited to the Property Owner.
3.3 If the holiday accommodation is re-let, monies received by the Property Owner for the re-let holiday, less a fee equal to 10% of the cancelled total rental value, will be refunded to the holidaymaker within 2 weeks after the re-let holiday has taken place.
Due to financial regulations we cannot offer holiday cancellation insurance. Consequently holiday cancellation insurance is not provided by the Property Owner and is not included in the price of the holiday.
3.4 All holidaymakers are recommended to take independent advice on appropriate holiday insurance.
4 CANCELLATION OR CHANGES BY THE PROPERTY OWNER
4.1 Once a binding contract exists, in the unlikely event of the Property Owner being unable to provide the holiday accommodation offered, the Property Owner shall use their reasonable endeavours to arrange alternative accommodation of an equivalent type and standard in a similar location. If this is not acceptable to the Holidaymaker and the Holidaymaker so advises the Property Owner any monies paid by the Holidaymaker will be refunded.
