BOOKING CONDITIONS

1. La Petite Maison known as Olivette, which forms part of the whole property, is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by A & J Morland (“the Owner”) to the renter (“the Client”).
    
2. To reserve “Olivette”, the Client should complete and sign the Booking Form and return it together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (25% of the total rent due). 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 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. The Client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the Owner is able to re-let Olivette. In this event, Clause 6 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.
    
4. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period should be settled locally in Euros with the Owners before departure.
    
5. A security deposit of £100 is required on arrival against damage to the house or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client’s liability to the Owner. The Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period.
    
6. Subject to Clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to re-let the house less any expenses or losses incurred in so doing. The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover). In addition the Client MUST have full cover for the party’s personal belongings, since this is not covered by the Owner’s insurance. If resident in the UK. it is wise to ensure that the party carries a Form E111, obtainable from the Post Office, in case of ill health.
    
7. The rental period shall commence at 4.00 pm on the first day and finish at 10.00 am on the last day. The Owner shall not be obliged to offer accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated unless arrangements have been made.
    
8. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the House and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. The Owner reserves the right to retain the security deposit (or part of the deposit) to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the House in an unacceptable condition.
    
9. The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:
   1. for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the House nor in respect of any equipment, plant machinery or appliances in the House.
       
   2. for any loss or damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client if the House shall be destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the rental period and in any such event, the Owners shall, within seven days of notification to the Client refund to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period
       
   3. for any loss or damage to vehicles or their contents or to personal property.
       
10. Under no circumstances shall the Owner’s liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the rental period.

This contract shall be governed by English Law in every particular including formation and interpretation and shall be deemed to have been made in England. Any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this contract may be brought in any court of competence jurisdiction in England.
