1. Bookings
Once a
provisional booking has been agreed a booking form is sent by email. This form must be
completed by the designated party leader (hereafter known as 'the Customer'), who must be
at least 18 years of age. The completed form must be returned to us (hereafter known as
'the Owner') by email or post, by a date that will be specified at the time of the
provisional booking. All future correspondence will be with the Customer.
Confirmation
of your holiday will be sent in writing either by post or email on receipt of completed
booking form and payments as described in 2. Payments. The issue of this confirmation
constitutes a contract between the Owner and the Customer, which is governed by Spanish
rental Law.
2.
Payments
If the booking
is made within 6 weeks of departure, full payment is required with the completed booking
form. In all other cases a deposit of 35% of the total holiday price is required at the
time of booking, and the balance of 65% is due not less than eight weeks prior to
departure. In the event of full payment not being made by the due time the Owner reserves
the right to cancel the booking. Any deposits will be forfeited and the Customer will be
required to pay cancellation charges in accordance with "5. Cancellations made by the
Customer" below.
Security
deposit:
No security deposit is required. However if the customer accidentally does damage
to the property, he will be expected to cover the cost of repair.
Loss/non
return of keys:
If the customer accidentally loses the keys provided, he/she will be expected to
pay EURO 50 to cover the cost of new spares.
3. Accommodation
Access to the
property is available from 15:00 on the first day of rental, and must be vacated by 10:00
on the agreed departure date. This allows cleaning and preparation for the next guests to
take place. The property is reserved exclusively for those people named on the booking
form, and no other persons are permitted to stay there unless this has been agreed in
writing with the Owner prior to the rental period.
Under no
circumstances will any animals be allowed in the home/s.
* Any specific
requirements must be requested by email - at cost.
The customer
must leave the property in a reasonable state of tidiness. Any items, toys or books left
behind will be taken to the local charity (located on Vicente Buades street).
Note: The
garbage containers on most streets are emptied daily, the customer must take out the
garbage regularly to the containers to maintain cleanliness and avoid bad smells and/or
infestations.
4. Changes made by the customer
The Owner will
endeavour to facilitate any date changes requested after the booking has been confirmed.
Changes will incur a fee of £50 in addition to any extra payments that become due. The
alteration will be effective as soon as the Owner sends written confirmation to the
Customer of the change. Any change must involve taking the revised rental period in the
same season as that originally booked. No change can be made within eight weeks of
departure.
5. Cancellations made by the customer
Cancellations
must be made by registered post and signed by the Customer. Cancellations will become
effective from the delivery date of the cancellation letter. All cancellations are subject
to a charge payable by the Customer as detailed below.
- Cancellation received:
More than 45
days - Customer charged deposit only
Less than 45 days - Customer charged 100% of rental
6. Changes/cancellations made by the Owner
If
circumstances beyond the Owner's control should make the rental home unavailable, then the
customer will be advised as soon as possible. Alternative accommodation of at least
comparable standard will be offered if available, or a refund of monies paid unless the
change/cancellation arises from reasons of '10. Force Majeure' below.
7.
Complaints
If there are
any problems with the rental home, the customer must inform our representative
immediately. If the matter is not resolved, the customer must follow up the complaint in
writing to the Owner within 14 days of the end of the rental period. If the problem has
not been reported as detailed in this clause, then the Owner cannot accept responsibility
for any claims or complaints.
8. Insurance
It is
considered essential for the Customer to hold suitable insurance. It is advisable for this
insurance to be in place at the time the rental period booking is made.
9.
Liabilities
The Owner
and/or the property management company do not accept any responsibility or liability for
acts of omission of third parties, which may prevent or disrupt a client's booking. The
booking contract exists between the owner and the client and is limited to the rental of
the property and associated services only. The information and descriptions supplied here
are believed to be accurate and offered in good faith. Certain features or facilities may
not be available from time to time due to circumstances beyond our control for which the
Owner and/or the property management company accepts no liability. In addition no
liability can be accepted by the Owner and/or the property management company for any
injury, loss or damage to the Customer, any member of the Customers Party or any visitor
to the rental home arising out of or in connection with the use of the rental home. The
Customer must ensure that all Children are supervised at all times.
10. Force Majeure
No liability
can be accepted by the Owner where the contract is affected by 'force majeure'. In the
context of these terms and conditions, 'force majeure' is any event that the Owner or the
property management company could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. These events
include but are not limited to war, threat of war, riot, civil commotion or strife,
hostilities, industrial dispute, natural disaster, fire, acts of God, terrorist activity,
nuclear disaster, adverse weather, government action, technical problems with
transportation, or other events outside the Owners' or the property management company's
control.
