Contract

The contract is for a short-term holiday rental of the property specified on the booking form made between the client and the owners of 2 The Courtyard ("the owners"), Mark and Suzanne James, binding from such time that booking is made and inclusive of all the following conditions.

 

By making a booking the client contracts on behalf of himself/herself and all those in his/her party and represents that he/she has the authority to accept these conditions on behalf of and binding upon all guests in his/her party.

The client and any friends or family of the client visiting the property while the client is staying there must adhere to the conditions of the contract, including the rules and procedures contained in the information folder provided in the property. If inviting friends to visit the client must first seek the permission of the owners.

 

Payment

A deposit of 25% of the cost is payable on booking if the booking is made more than six weeks before the start of the rental. Bookings are provisional until a deposit is received and are held for 48 hours. The balance shall be payable six weeks before the commencement of the rental. Non-payment of the balance of the rent on or after the due date may be construed as a cancellation of the contract by the client.  A further refundable damage deposit of £250 is due no later than 7 days prior to the commencement of the rental and will be refunded 7 days after departure,  see Breakages and Damage below.

 

Cancellation

In the event of a cancellation the total cost is payable.

 

Any cancellation made by the client for whatever reason shall be in writing and addressed to the address on the website. On receipt of the notice of cancellation 2 The Courtyard will seek to re-let the property for the period of booking. If a re-letting is achieved, 2 The Courtyard will refund money already paid by the client less rent for any part of the period which was not able to be re-let and less an administrative charge of £30.

 

The client is strongly advised to take out holiday cancellation insurance.
