    1. In all cases, the Company retains the right to give the Client fourteen (14) days (the “Notification Period”) notice in writing of any change to cancellation and refund terms at which time the Client may exercise their right to cancel under the original booking terms. Failure to notify the Company in writing of a decision to cancel within the Notification Period, shall be deemed acceptance of the new terms. 

Special conditions may apply as discussed with your rental agent for bookings in excess of 28-days.

The precise amount of the security deposit shall be stipulated in the Confirmation from the Company accepting the booking. Any security deposit shall be held by the Company, as security for any loss or damage occasioned by the Client or its guests, and for miscellaneous charges that remain outstanding after departure. Any damages caused by the Guest or any additional charges such as concierge, incurred by the Guest will be charged to the Credit Card presented or against the funds held as security and an invoice will be sent to the Guest. Subject to it being established that there are no damages or outstanding charges the balance shall be refunded to the Client no later than 30 days after departure.

Where the Client accepts the alternative accommodation and the Booking Fee for the alternative accommodation is less than the original Booking Fee, the Client will receive a refund of the difference from the Company and/or the Owner. Where the Booking Fee is more than the original Booking Fee the difference will be due within thirty days of the offer of the alternative accommodation or the day preceding the Non-Refundable Period (as defined by clause 8 hereof), whichever is later.

 

Where the Client declines to accept the alternative accommodation, the rental deposit and Booking Fees, if any, will be refunded but the Company and/or the Owner will not meet any costs or expenses the Client and/or Guest(s) may have incurred as a result of the cancellation or pay any compensation.

 

8.3 Where the Company and/or the Owner must wholly or partially cancel a Client’s rental reservation as a result of “force majeure”, that is any occurrence outside its control and which could not have been avoided with all due care, including but not limited to war or threat or war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, government action, adverse weather conditions, fire, earthquake, flood and other similar events out of the Company’s control, the Company and/or the Owner will make no refund, nor meet any costs or expenses the Client and/or the Guest(s) may incur as a result or pay any compensation.

 

8.4 The Company reserves the right, in its sole opinion and without reason to terminate any booking. In such a circumstance the Company will refund the rental deposit and any Booking Fees so paid but will not be liable to make alternative arrangements for other accommodation nor will it cover any costs, which the Client and/or the Guest(s) may incur or pay any compensation.

8.5 Where the accommodation is no longer available due to the sale of the property by the Owner, the Company reserves the right to cancel any reservation given at least 60 days notice in advance of arrival, or 120 days notice in the case of  bookings in the Christmas-New Year period.

8.6 Any modification the booking, including, without limitation, an increase in the number of guests, duration of stay, or number of bedrooms, requires the prior approval of the company and may be subject to additional fees and conditions. Any prohibited use of the Villa can result in immediate termination of this Agreement and the booking.
