BOOKING CONDITIONS

1. The property known as Galathee, 5 bis Rue de la Mer, 17690 Angoulins-sur-Mer (“the Property”) is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Dominique Desoutter (“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 deposit (£80 per week). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the Owner will send a confirmation letter. This is formal acceptance of the booking.

3. The balance of the rent is payable not less than six 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 and the property to be relet. The deposit is then forfeited. Reservations made within six weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of the booking.

4. A security deposit of £100 against breakage or loss will be required with the payment of the balance, refundable at the end of your stay. If the house is not left in a clean state, £40 will be deducted. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client’s liability to the Owner.

5. Bookings run from Saturday to Saturday – minimum stay one week. The letting shall commence at 5.00 pm on the first date of the letting and shall terminate at 10.00 am of the last day (unless otherwise specifically agreed).

6. 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 retains 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.

7. The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy and to have full cover for the party’s personal belongings, personal liability etc. since these are not covered by the Owner’s insurance.

8. The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:

• For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property or breakdown in the equipment or appliances in the Property or patio/communal yard. Obviously every attempt will be made, where possible, by the Owner to restore such defect or stoppage to normal working order as soon a possible.

• For any loss, damage or injury, which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond control of the Owner.

• 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.

9. Under no circumstances shall the Owner’s liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.
