1. This contract is for the hire of holiday/vacation
accommodation by the persons named below only [the Hirer(s)] and for
the period specified below only and is under French jurisdiction.
The Hirers are responsible for making their own travel arrangements
and must take out their own comprehensive travel/holiday
insurance. It is a condition of booking as stipulated by
the EU Travel Directive. Important: Your Insurance must include
third party personal liability (this does not apply to visitors
from North America).
2. The Hirers accept that the accommodation Owners,
their Agents or Employees shall not be held responsible or liable
for any accident or injury to any members of the party or visitors,
howsoever caused, nor for loss or damage to any personal goods or
property, howsoever caused. Children MUST be supervised at all
times.
3. The Owners are relieved from liabilities if the
accommodation should become unavailable for any unforeseen circumstances.
In this event a refund may be made limited to the maximum rental fee
paid by the Hirers and every assistance will be given to secure alternative
accommodation for you.
4.Under
any circumstances, the Owner’s maximum liability will be limited to
the amount of rent paid by the Hirers.
5. It is the Hirers responsibility to satisfy themselves
that the style, type, standard and location of the accommodation suits
their purposes. All information is on this website and includes subjective
opinion. French Regulations and standards apply. If you should
have any specific questions or special requirements not covered on
this website, please email tony@villaromantique.co.uk.
6. Hirers are responsible and liable for
all damage or breakages during their stay, whether accidental or negligent
and are required to replace or pay for damage/breakages. We ask you
kindly to replace anything that gets broken or damaged and to respect
the accommodation and all its contents for us and all future Hirers.
If you are unable to replace an item for any reason, you must
let us know immediately so that we can ensure that the next Hirers
receive the full benefit of completely equipped accommodation, which
of course, as you will appreciate, they rightfully deserve. Any necessary
repairs, replacements or any unexpected costs etc. will be charged
to you at cost only and we will give you all reasonable assistance
for you to recover the cost from your Insurer, where appropriate.
7. If it is deemed by us in our reasonable
opinion, or by any person in authority, that the behaviour of any
member of your party, or person you invite to the accommodation, causes
or would be likely to cause danger, distress, offence or upset to
a third party or damage to the accommodation your holiday will be
terminated immediately and the accommodation must be vacated at once,
without recourse.
8. The Hirers must first
seek the Owners written approval if they intend to throw a party,
host a reception, entertain visitors or do professional or commercial
business at the accommodation, or the Hirers will be in Breach of
Contract. Such written approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Please note that pets are not allowed at the accommodation
unless specifically agreed in writing. All of the accommodation
is non-smoking, but you may smoke outside .
9. Upon receipt by the Hirers all the keys
to the accommodation become the Hirers responsibility at all times
and must be returned to us by an insured, to be signed for 'trackable'
service immediately after your stay. The keys remain your responsibility
until they are received back by us. N.B. The property must
always be alarmed and fully locked when unattended.
10. The accommodation is available from 16.00
hours on the day of arrival and must be vacated in
a clean, tidy and hygienic condition by 10.00 am on the day of departure.
You must remove all household waste before you leave. This
is to enable the cleaners to prepare the property for the next Hirers.
We reserve the right to make a surcharge if the accommodation requires
more than the normal amount of time to clean and prepare for the next
Hirers or if more than the normal amount of laundry is required to
be done; or the next Hirers entry into the accommodation is delayed
because it is not possible to commence cleaning by 10.00 am. All bed
linen is supplied and towels are provided.
11. A
deposit of 30% of the total is payable upon booking. The balance
must be paid 2 months prior to the holiday. A separate payment for
the customary 'in case of damage' security bond of £1000 will
become due once we have posted the villa keys to you. *This will be
refunded to you in full after your holiday assuming
that there are no unexpected damage(s) or associated or extra expenses
incurred by the owner or his agents or employees as a result of your
stay at the villa. An increased damage security bond may be required
for longer duration rentals or where there is a maximum occupancy
of the villa. Payments made on cancelled bookings are not returnable
(except as noted in condition 3 above) but we will give you all reasonable
assistance for you to recover your costs from your insurer where appropriate.
Please kindly note that if payment in full is not received 2 months
before the holiday, the booking will be deemed to have been cancelled
and the villa will be re-let. Please make your own diary note as
reminders are not sent.
12.
