Terms & Conditions for Villa Riviera

1. The Property known as ‘Villa Riviera’ (“the Property”) is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by ‘Mark C. Allen’ (“the owner”) 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 of five hundred UK Pounds per week booked. Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the owner will send a booking confirmation letter. This is the formal acceptance of the booking and no refunds are available on the deposit paid from the date of the letter or e-mail.

3. The full rental amount 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 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 property. 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 plus deposit money as detailed in clauses 2 and 4.

4. A security deposit of £500 for every week or part week of the rental period 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 clients liability to the owner. The owner will account to the client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within four weeks after the end of the rental period subject to having received the itemized phone bill from France Telecom and being able to deduct any necessary charges. (There is no need to make an additional payment for this security deposit, as the monies paid in clause 2 above are used for this purpose during the clients stay at the property).

5. Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of the rental amounts paid will be made if the owner is able to relet the property and any expenses or losses incurred in doing so will be deducted from the refundable amount. No refund of the deposit paid will be made under any circumstances. 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 owners insurance.

6. The rental period shall commence at 4pm on the first day and finish at 10am 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.

7. The maximum number of people to reside in the property must not exceed ten, unless the owner has given written permission.

8. 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. 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 which would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.

9. The client shall report to ‘Michael Kay’ without delay any defects in the property or breakdown in the equipment, plant or machinery or appliances in the property, garden or swimming pool and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.

10. The owner shall not be liable to the client
a. 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, garden or swimming pool
b. For any loss, damage or injury to the client, family, friends or visitors to the property, garden or swimming pool during the rental period
c. 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
d. For any loss damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the client if the property shall be destroyed or substantially damaged 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

11. Under no circumstances shall the owners liability to the client exceed the amount paid to the owner for the rental period

12. Whilst all documentation from owner of Villa Riviera has been intended to make representation as accurate as possible, no responsibility can be accepted for any differences or changes to that given,

13. In the case of a dispute over breakages, the owners decision shall be final,

14. In the case of a dispute over telephone charges, the owners decision shall be final,
