| BOOKING CONDITIONS
All arrangements made between us, The Agents and you, The Client,
are subject
to the following conditions at all times.
1) BOOKING
As agents we are authorized by various companies/owners to offer
their property for rental, and can indicate if a property is available
between certain dates. However as I am sure you will understand,
we can only confirm a booking upon receipt of the relevant deposit
and signed booking form. A contract will exist only from the time
we issue our confirmation of your booking. Any accommodation booking
is only for the use of the clients named or numbered on the booking
form, and any subletting, sharing, over occupation or assignment
is prohibited. If for any reason we have to cancel your booking,
we shall make every effort to offer you a suitable alternative,
if you reject this we will at your request, and in full and final
settlement,
refund all amounts paid to date. Any complaints regarding the accommodation
must be advised to the managing agent or key holder within 24 hours
of first arrival.
2)DEPOSIT
A deposit of 30% (sometimes 50% depending on the property) for each
property is payable when booking. This is non-returnable in the
event of any cancellation, notification of which is required in
writing by post, and signed by the person who signed the booking
form. For those clients who book within eight weeks of their departure
date, full payment is required at the time of booking.
3) PAYMENT BALANCE
Any outstanding balance is due for payment 8 weeks before the date
of departure. A reminder will be sent prior to the due date, but
we cannot guarantee receipt. It is the responsibility of the party
leader to ensure that the final payment is made by the due date.
If payment was not received on time, we would endeavour to contact
the party leader to confirm that the payment would be sent without
further delay, however if payment was still not forthcoming within
7 days of the due by date, or it was indicated that payment would
not be forthcoming, we would have no alternative, and shall be entitled
to cancel the booking and retain the deposit without notice.
4) LATE BOOKINGS
For bookings within 8 weeks of departure, you are required to convey
the full payment and signed booking form immediately. The booking
would then be subject to written confirmation. The same booking
conditions apply
5) SECURITY
All baggage, money and personal possessions remain at all times
and in all circumstances at the owners (the clients) risk. Suitable
insurance cover should be purchased to protect any items of value.
6) SERVICES
We are unable to accept responsibility for any inconvenience caused
by disturbance of any kind, and at any time from neighbouring property,
land, tenants/clients or animals. Or by the failure of local services
for any length of time, such as electricity, water supply, electric
or gas equipment. Or for the unavailability of any general amenities,
including television
(analogue or satellite), swimming pools that may have to drained
and re-filled from time to time, road works or condition of roads.
It should be noted that many villas in this region have final access
via dirt track only, and cars should be driven in accordance with
the conditions of the ground surface. We would also point out that
we have no jurisdiction, and therefore
cannot guarantee availability in regard to community pools. It should
be noted that most swimming pools are not available during the winter
months, the usual available period for most complexes is May
October, but this is completely at the discretion of the complex
President. The use of all electrical items such as- washing machine,
dishwasher, iron, radio/cassette,
kettle, coffee maker etc. is entirely at the discretion of the user,
and we will not be responsible for any injury or damage that may
be a result of such usage. The owners of each property provide the
linen & towels, as we have no control over the amount or quality
of such items, we can therefore not be responsible for such. A guarantee
cannot be given to the availability, or
condition of BBQs. Views from the property may change from
time to time due to happenings beyond our control, and cannot therefore
be always guaranteed. Any damages/breakages must be replaced
or paid for. We retain the right to charge for damages/breakages
if not replaced or paid for at the time of occupancy.
7.CANCELLATION
Cancellation of your booking may be given at any time providing
that it is made by the person who signed the booking form, and is
communicated to us in writing by recorded delivery. In this event,
as is standard practice, the following percentages of the entire
cost of the booking will be charged:
Days before departure:
56 days or more - Deposit only
42 - 55 days - 70%
29 - 41 days - 80%
22 - 28 days - 90%
0 - 21days - 100%
Adequate insurance should be taken out to protect against cancellation
of all booking aspects.
