Booking Contract

• We will not be liable for any act, neglect or default on the part of any person nor any accident, damage, loss, injury, expense or inconvenience whether to person or property which the tenant or any other person may suffer or incur arising out of or in any way connected with the letting or resulting from any other cause whatsoever.  We advise you to arrange your own insurance to cover yourselves and your personal belongings whilst staying at the property.

• Booking:  If the booking is made within eight weeks of the letting the whole of the rental payment is to be forwarded with your booking form. If the booking is made prior to eight weeks of the letting, a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the rental sum is to be forwarded with your booking form.  The remaining balance of the rental sum is then due eight weeks prior to the letting.  

• Cancellation:  If requested by the tenant more than eight weeks in advance of the letting the balance of any monies paid, less the 25% rental deposit will be returned to the tenant.  If requested by the tenant within the eight weeks prior to the letting, the owner will retain the 25% rental deposit and also reserves the right to retain the balance of the rental, should it not be possible to re-let the property for this period. We will only cancel your reservation if the chalet is not available due to reasons beyond our control; e.g. utility or major appliance failure.  We would refund any monies already paid by the tenant to us, but our liability would not extend beyond this refund.  We would, of course, try to help you find similar accommodation.   

• The number of people occupying the property may not exceed the number on the booking form, maximum 9.  We only rent to families or parties of responsible adults over 21 years of age.

• The tenant agrees to keep the property and fittings, furniture equipment and other contents in or on the property in a like state of repair and condition as at the commencement of the letting and will make good (or will arrange with us to make good) any damage, breakage, or loss that may occur during the period of letting.

• Unless otherwise stated, the rental of the property includes, logs for the fire, sheets, blankets, towels, tea towels, rates, insurance of the property, electricity, water and use of garage in the communal apartment building.  The property is equiped with crockery, cutlery and adequate cleaning equipment.

• Holiday lettings are by the week (unless agreed otherwise by prior arrangement) from 4pm on the date of arrival to 10am on the date of departure.  The time lapse is to enable the property to be inspected in between guests and to ensure everything is in good order.

• The tenants agree not to smoke, nor to allow smoking, inside the chalet, on the terrace or balcony at any time.  If this is not strictly adhered to it will lead to a deduction from the deposit.

• Tenants are asked to leave the property clean tidy and to ensure that all food is removed and that they take all belongings with them.  On change over days there is only time for a superficial check and general clean.  We rely upon the goodwill of our guests who's co-operation we greatly appreciate.  Should the property be left in a poor condition, requiring more intensive cleaning, then this will be charged and deducted from the deposit.

• The security damage deposit will be returned to the tenant within 10 days of the return of the keys to the owner, less any deductions in accordance with the conditions listed above.

• The acceptance of the property from the owner will be deemed an acceptance of these terms and conditions.
