1 The accommodation known as_________________ ("the accommodation") is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by the owner or his/her representative ("the Owner") to the renter ("the Client").
2 To reserve the accommodation, the Client must complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit. 25% of the rental. Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the Owner will send a Confirmation Invoice and Statement. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.
3 The balance of the rent (see Clause 5) together with the cleaning and damages deposit (see Clause 4) is payable 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 that the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
4 A cleaning and damages deposit for the rental period is required in case of damage to the accommodation or its contents, or any extra cleaning. A deposit of £50.00 is required with the balance of the rental. The Owner will account to the Client for the cleaning and damages deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period.
However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client's liability to the Owner.
5 Subject to Clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a non-insurable cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to relet the accommodation, 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 personal belongings, public liability, etc. for all members of the party since these are not covered by the Owner's insurance.

The Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the cleaning and damages deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the accommodation in an unacceptable condition. The Client also agrees not to act in any way which would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.

10 The Owner shall not be liable to the Client: for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the accommodation, or any other facility or service nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the accommodation; for any loss, damage or injury which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the Owner; for any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the accommodation 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.
11 Under no circumstances shall the Owners liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.
