1.The Property known as LA GIRAUDEAU (" the Property") is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by E. J. BRYANT ("the Owner" ) to the renter and his party ("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 non-refundable deposit (20% of the total rental cost). Following receipt of the Booking Form and deposit, the Owner will send a Confirmation Letter and a copy of these Terms and Conditions. This is the 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. The due date for payment will be stated in the Confirmation Letter. 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 the Property. In this event, Clause 7 of these Terms and Conditions will apply. Reservations made within six weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of Booking.

4.Linen hire is included in the rental price. This consists of sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, tea towels, hand and bath towels but does not include pool/beach towels.

5.Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. telephone calls) should be settled locally with the Owner before departure.

6.With reference to the refundable security deposit, the Client agrees to notify the Owner of any damage to the Property. Further, the Client agrees to be invoiced by the Owner for any damage to the Property caused during and arising from the Client's stay which amounts to more than the £100 / Euros 150 refundable security deposit handed over at the beginning of the rental period. Compensation for damage will normally be limited to the cost of replacing or rectifying the damage and consequences of that damage.

7.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 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 personal belongings, public liability etc. since these are not covered by the Owner’s insurance.

8.The rental period shall commence at 4.00pm on the first day and finish at 10.00am on the last day. The Owner shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated. Unless by prior arrangement with the Owner.

9.The maximum number to reside in the Property must not exceed the number stated on the website unless the Owner has given written permission.

10. 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. Although a final clean is included in the prices, the Owner reserves the right to ask from the Client an additional fee of £25 / Euros 35 for each extra cleaning session deemed necessary.

11. The Client also agrees not to act in any way which would cause disturbance or offence to those resident in neighbouring properties. Failure to comply could result in the immediate termination of the Client’s rental period with no refund.

12. The Client shall report to the Owner without delay any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment or appliances in the Property, Garden or Swimming Pool. Arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.

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

a)for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property, nor in respect of any equipment or appliances in the Property, Garden or Swimming Pool;

b)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;

c)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.

14. The use of accommodation and amenities such as the swimming pool, bikes etc. is entirely at the User’s risk and no responsibility can be accepted for injury to a User or Visitor and loss or damage to the User or Visitor’s belongings. Children are to be supervised by their own parents/carers at all times.

15. In the event of the Property becoming uninhabitable during the rental period, alternative accommodation will be offered. If none is available, a part-refund will be given. This refund will be worked out by dividing the rental cost into a daily rate and multiplying this daily rate by the amount of days that the Property is deemed uninhabitable. The Owner will also make every effort to find replacement accommodation for the Client in the surrounding area. However, it should be noted that if the Property is found to be uninhabitable due to the fault of the Client, this Clause (15) will be null and void and Clause 6 of these Terms and Conditions will apply.

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

17. 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 competent jurisdiction in England.

Please Note that a copy of these Terms and Conditions will be included

with our Confirmation Letter.
