Gîte Brimeux - Terms and Conditions
-
The property known as 137 Rue Nationale, Brimeux, 62170 ("The Property")
is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation in writing by V and M Holmes ("The Owner")
to the renter ("The Client").
-
To reserve the Property, the Client should complete a
booking form, either online or by post. A booking cannot be confirmed until payment of
the initial non-refundable deposit (one third of the total rent due) is received as
cleared funds. This deposit is only valid for the original booking specified in the booking
request. Following receipt of the booking request and deposit, the Owner
will send confirmation. The dispatch of confirmation is the formal acceptance of the booking.
-
The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 5) is payable not less
than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due
date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing or by email that
the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental
period require full payment at the time of booking.
-
Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period will be deducted from the security
deposit.
-
A security deposit of £200 (two hundred pounds) is required in case of, 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 months after the end of the rental period.
-
Subject to clauses ‘2’ and ‘3’ above, in the event of a non-insurable cancellation, refunds
of amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to re-let the
Property, though it is a condition that 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 Client and the Client’s
party's personal belongings, public liability, etc., since these are not covered by the
Owner's 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 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.
-
The maximum number of persons to reside in the Property must not exceed
seven, plus one infant (aged under 2 years), unless the Owner has given
prior written permission.
-
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. Although a final clean is included in the rental price, 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
that would cause disturbances to those resident in neighbouring properties.
-
The
Client
shall report to the Owner, without delay, any defects in the Property or breakdown
in the equipment, plant, machinery, or appliances in the Property or garden and
arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
-
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 respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance in
the Property 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 Property shall be destroyed or substantially damaged or not
rentable 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.
-
Any monies that are to be refunded to the Client shall be payable to the
same person as made the original payment and payment to that person shall be a full
discharge of the Owners’ liability in this respect.
-
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 in all respects be governed by
English law and in every particular including formation and interpretation and
it shall be deemed to have been made in England. Any proceedings arising out of
or in conjunction with this contract may be brought in any court of competent
jurisdiction in England. Please note that a further copy of these booking
conditions will be included with the booking confirmation and the receipt by
the Owner of the booking request and initial deposit shall be
interpreted as the Client’s acceptance of these terms and of
the Client’s willingness to be bound by the terms of this
contract.
