Booking Conditions

Les Drakkars Self Catered Booking Conditions

The apartment known as "Les Drakkars" is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Mr & Mrs. Lyons ("The Owners") to the renter ("the client").
To reserve "Les Drakkars" 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 due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit the Owners will send a confirmation invoice and statement. (This is the formal acceptance of the booking).
The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 4) is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, the Owners reserve 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 apartment. In this event clause 5 of these booking conditions will apply. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
A minimum security deposit of £150 for each booking is required in case of for example, damage to the apartment or its contents. The apartment will be thoroughly cleaned and ready for the client and it is expected that the apartment be left as found. The Owners reserve the right to deduct additional cleaning costs incurred should this not be the case. The Owners will account to the client for the security deposit and refund the balance within two weeks after the end of the rental period.
Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the Owners are able to re-let the apartment 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, including cancellation cover, and to have full cover for the party's belongings, public liability etc., since these are not covered by the Owners insurance).
The rental period shall commence at 4.00 pm on the first day and finish at 10.00 am on the last day. The Owners 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.
The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the apartment and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. (Outside shoes and outside recreation equipment must not be taken into the apartment). Smoking inside the apartment is strictly forbidden. The Client also agrees not to act in any way, which would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.
The client shall report to the Owners any defects in the apartment or breakdown in equipment or appliances in the apartment, and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
The Owners shall not be liable to the Client for:
Any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the apartment, nor in respect of any equipment or appliance in the apartment or garden.
For any loss, damage or injury, which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the Owner.
For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the apartment shall be destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the rental period and in any such event, the Owners shall, within seven days of notification to the Client, refund to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.
Under no circumstances shall the Owners liability to the client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.
