1. The Property is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Mr & Mrs Richard Burchnall ('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 (30% of the total cost due, €250 minimum). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit the Owner will sent written confirmation of the reservation. Our sending the written confirmation of the reservation represents the formal acceptance of the booking.
3. The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 4) is payable not less than 8 weeks before the due date of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing 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.
4. The security deposit of £200 is required in case of, for example, damage to the property or its contents, or extra cleaning costs incurred where the property is left in an unreasonable condition. However the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Clients liability to the Owner. Under normal circumstances the deposit will be refunded in full within 14 days of departure. However in the event of any damage, the owner reserves the right to retain the deposit until the cost of replacement or repair can be assessed. Under these circumstances, the Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within one month after the end of the rental period. Where the damage exceeds the amount of the deposit, the Owner reserves the right to charge the Client for the balance.
5. Subject to clause 2 and 3 above, in the event of cancellation, refunds of 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 any amount that may be refunded. 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 Owner’s insurance.
