BOOKING CONDITIONS

1. The property known as Aumondrie (“the Property”) is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Mr or Mrs Bennett (“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 total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the Owner will send a confirmation invoice and statement. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.

3. The balance of the deposit together with the security deposit (see clause 5) is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If the payment is not received by the due date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. The client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the Owner is able to re-let the property. In this event, clause 6 of these booking conditions will apply. Reservations made within 8 weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.

4. Any chargeable expenses incurred during the rental period should be settled locally with the Owner’s representative before departure.

5. A security deposit of £50 for each rental period is required in case, for example, damage to the property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall 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 two weeks after the end of the rental period.

6. Subject to clause 2 and 3 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of the amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to re-let the “property” and any expenses or losses incurred in so doing 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 Owners insurance.

7. The rental period shall commence at 4.00pm on the first day and finish at 10.00am on the last day. The Owner shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated.

8. The maximum number to reside in the Property must not exceed 4 unless the Owner has given written permission.

9. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. The Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition. The Client also agrees not to act in any way which would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.

10. The Client shall report to the Owner’s agent without delay any defects in the Property or breakdown in equipment, plant machinery or appliances in the Property or garden and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.

11. The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:

For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property, nor in the respect of

any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance in the property or garden.

For any loss, damage or injury which was a result of any 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 shall be destroyed

or substantially damaged 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. Under no circumstances shall the Owner’s liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.

This 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 this contract may be bought in any court of competent jurisdiction in England
