  1. The hiring contract shall be between the hirer and the owner of the villa and shall be deemed to be made subject to these Conditions of Hire. The hiring contract is not effective until the hirer has paid a 25% deposit (one third deposit in the case of a one week booking) and has received confirmation of the booking and an invoice for the hire fee balance. All bookings are subject to these conditions unless the owners' Agent confirms any alteration to them in writing.

  2. An initial deposit of 25% (one third deposit in the case of a one week booking) for the rental cost of the property is required with the booking form to secure a booking. When the deposit has been received the owners' Agent will confirm that the period required has been reserved for the hirer. The balance of the invoice is payable two months prior to the reserved period. For bookings made less than eight weeks prior to the reserved period full payment is required with the booking form.

  3. The hirer is responsible for the property during the hire period and expected to take all reasonable care of it and leave the property in the condition they found it with the exception of making up the beds which is the responsibility of the owner. If the hirer is unable to leave the property as they found it on arrival the owner can/will supply a maid at €15 per hour. The hirer is required to keep noise levels emitting from the property and it's surrounds to reasonable levels. Any time involved with liaising with neighbours or local police concerning unreasonable noise will be charged to the hirer. A domestic deposit of £350 per rental is payable as a deposit against the cost of any damages and any cleaning required at the end of hirer’s stay.  The required £350 in each case will be pro rated for bookings of longer than two weeks.

  4. The accommodation is available to the client from 16:00 hours (4pm) on the first day of their booking and up to 10:00 hours (I0am) on the day of departure. The time between 10:00am and 16:00pm is required to properly clean the villa and any change to these times can only be made by prior agreement with the Agent.

  5. The owners' Agent shall not be obliged to accept an alteration to a booking proposed by the hirer after the booking has been confirmed by the owners' Agent. If an alteration is accepted then the owners' Agent reserves the right to make an administration charge of £20 for every alteration made more than 8 weeks before departure and for every alteration made after that date a reasonable charge to be determined by the owners' Agent in accordance with the additional work involved.

  6. The owner will use their best endeavours to provide the booking and accommodation specified by the hirer but the owners Agent reserves the right to cancel, modify or alter the booking or accommodation in exceptional circumstances such as natural disaster, fire, accident, illness, etc. If the owners Agent materially alters the booking after confirmation the owners Agent will, if available, offer an alternative or refund to the hirer all rental money paid in full and final settlement. Any refund will be made by the same method as the hirer made the final payment.

  7. The hirer may cancel a booking by giving written notice to the owners' Agent. If the cancellation notice is received 57 days or more before the hire starting date only the 25% hire deposit and any insurance premium will be forfeit. Within that period the following percentages of the hire price will be payable as a cancellation charge by the hirer taking into account the deposit held by the owners' Agent. 56-42 days, 50%; 41-28 days 75%; 27 days or less 100%. Any such cancellation cost in excess of the deposits/payments held by the owners' Agent from the hirer must be paid within 7 days of the charge arising notwithstanding the fact that the hirer's insurance policy may cover it. It is the hirer's responsibility to claim any insurance money due.

  8. All villa prices are based on an exchange rate of €1.47 to £1 sterling. Should the £ sterling fall below €1.35 to £l sterling a surcharge for the cost of the property only is payable in addition to the March 15th 2007 published price.

  9. As agents for the owners of the properties the owners Agent cannot accept liability for the breakdown of any mechanical or electrical equipment or for blockage of any part of a properties drainage system. The owner will however endeavour to arrange a prompt repair, when possible, by reputable local contractors at the owner's expense.

  10. The use of the accommodation and its amenities such as swimming pools, etc. is entirely at the hirer's risk and except where caused by negligence of the owner or his employees, no responsibility can be accepted for death or injury or loss or damage to the hirer or the belongings of the hirer, or their guests or their guests' belongings. We strongly recommend Holiday insurance.

  11. In no circumstances may more than the number of persons as shown in the property description sheet or as stated by the hirer on the booking form occupy a property except by written agreement with the owners' Agent who reserves the right to refuse admittance to the property or ask the hirer to vacate if this condition is not strictly observed at all times during the hire period.

  12. If the hirer is not entirely satisfied with the accommodation offered he/she should immediately contact the owners' Agent in France or the owner.  Disputes arising out of or in connection with this contact which cannot be amicably resolved are subject to English law. All distances to towns, shops, restaurants, etc. stated in the villa descriptions are approximate.

  13. The owner nor the owner’s Agent will not accept any liability for matters outside their control, but the owner will accept liability for loss or damage sustained by the hirer as a result of the owners negligence or the negligence of their employees and all claims arising under this condition shall be subject to English law. The owner’s Agent does not accept any liability for loss, damage or injury resulting from negligence by the owner of the property.

  14. These Booking Conditions are correct as of 1st March 2007 and replace all previous Booking Conditions
