To reserve the apartment(s) at Chalet Papillon the hirer should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with a reservation payment equivalent to 25% the of the published or agreed hire price. (The hirer should note that there may be additional costs over and above the published price to pay for electricity consumed, sheets provided, breakages, or cleaning).
The Hirer will declare on the booking form the names (and ages if under 18) of the hire group. The hirer and the adult members of the hire group shall be jointly and severally liable for any action that may arise through breach of these conditions
The reservation payment is non-refundable and will be retained in full by the owners in the event the hirer has to cancel the booking. (It is recommended the hirer take appropriate insurance to cover losses if they are unable to complete the holiday).
Following receipt of the booking form and reservation payment, the owner will send a confirmation statement showing the balance due and the date it becomes due. The statement will also show which apartment has been reserved and the rental period. In addition to the balance due a security deposit will be required- £175 per week of rental.The owners reserve the right to request a different deposit under certain circumstances. The sheet provision and laundering cost per person is paid additional at the same time.
The owners may make reasonable deductions from the security deposit to cover the cost of electric consumption, breakages, undue wear and tear, damages to the premises, cleaning, etc.
If the property is not left in a reasonable state of cleanliness additional cleaning charges may be deducted.
The balance due, together with the security deposit, should be paid to the owners 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 to the hirer that the reservation is cancelled. The hirers will forfeit the reservation payment.
Where reservations are made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period the owners require payment in full at the time of booking.
Any locally incurred chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (such as the provisions of logs by the caretaker) should be settled locally with the caretaker before departure.
The hirer is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy, including cancellation cover and to have full cover for the groups personal belongings, public liability etc., since these are not covered by the owners insurance.
The rental period shall commence at 4pm on the first day of the rental period and finish at 10am on the last day. The owner shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the hirer shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated.
The hirer agrees to notify the owners if they wish to amend the hire group details. The hirer must not permit any person not declared in the hire group to occupy overnight any part of the premises. The maximum number of persons permitted to occupy the premises must not exceed eight, unless the owner has given written permission.
The hirer agrees to be considerate 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 caretakers will check the property over at the end of the rental period but this does not include cleaning. The owner therefore reserves the right to make a deduction from the security deposit to cover the additional cleaning costs if the property is left in an unacceptable condition.
The hirer also agrees not to act in any way that would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.
The hirer shall report to the caretakers, without delay, any defects in the property or any breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the property or garden. The caretaker will make arrangements for repair/replacement as soon as possible.
