BOOKING CONDITIONS

1. The Chalet known as “Les Clarines ” (the property) is offered for holiday letting subject to confirmation by Clarine Properties Limited (the agent).
2. To reserve “the property”, the client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (20% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, "the agent" will send a confirmation invoice. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.
3. The client will declare on the booking form the names (and ages if under 18) of the hire group. The client 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.
4. The balance of the rent is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, "the agent" reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. The Client will remain liable to pay the balance of rent unless "the agent" is able to re-let "the property". In this event, Clause 5 of these booking conditions will apply. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
5. Subject to Clauses 2,3 & 4 above, in the event of cancellation, refunds of the amounts paid, excluding the non-refundable deposit, will be made if "the agent" is able to re-let "the property", and any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refundable amount. The client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party’s belongings, public liability etc., as these are not covered by "the agent’s" insurance.

8. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and take good care of "the property" and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. A SECURITY DEPOSIT of £250 (two hundred and fifty pounds) is payable eight weeks prior to the rental period to cover breakages and cleaning costs if the client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition. Subject to there being no breakages and the property being left in an acceptable condition, the Security Deposit will be refunded to the client within 2/3 weeks of departure. "The agent" reserves the right to impose a charge 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.
9. Prices include linen, logs, electricity, heating and water, the use of the property its contents and grounds.
10. The Client shall report to "the agent" without delay any defects in "the property" or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in "the property" and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
11. "The agent" shall not be liable to the Client:

    For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to "the property", nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance in "the property".

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

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 agent" shall, within seven days of notification to the client, refund to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.

12. Under no circumstances shall "the agent's" liability to the client exceed the amount paid to "the agent" for the rental period.
