In these Terms and Conditions of Booking "we" and "us" mean Mr B M & J G Viggers and "our" shall be construed accordingly.
DEPOSIT
A non-refundable deposit of 25% of the full cost of accommodation is required to confirm the booking. The balance is due 8 weeks prior to departure. In the case of the booking being made 8 weeks before departure or later, the total cost of accommodation is required. Reservations will only be held for 7 days to enable the client to submit their cheque. If the balance payment is not received within 8 weeks of travel, this will be interpreted as breach of contract and the client will forfeit the accommodation.
CANCELLATIONS
The client may give notice in writing to us to cancel his booking at any time. In the event of cancellation after the booking has been confirmed, the following cancellation charges are payable: ALL CANCELLATIONS - forfeit of deposit; MORE THAN 56 DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE - 50% of total cost; LESS THAN 56 DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE - 100% Of cost. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE OUT INSURANCE COVER AT THE SAME TIME AS BOOKING THE ACCOMMODATION.
NON-ARRIVALS
We reserve the right to cancel the booking 24hours after the due arrival date, unless we have been advised of a new arrival date for the booking.
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation is only provided for the lead name client and his party (max 5 persons). Subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited. In the unlikely event we are informed the accommodation booked is not available, every effort will be made to offer comparable or better accommodation than that booked. All damages and breakages should be notified to the reception and payment made before departure. Failure to do so will result in the payment for such items being deducted from the holding deposit (if applicable) or an invoice being forwarded to the client for payment. We cannot be held responsible for any events which happen outside of the rented accommodation. Clients are responsible for operating equipment in the apartment correctly (cooker, dishwasher, washing machine etc), if not sure then please ask at reception. Car parking facilities are at owners own risk.
