1. The property, a holiday cottage forming part of Kervernel, La Chapelle Neuve is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by the Owners, Liz & Tom Nelson, to the renter, the Client.
2. The Client should telephone first to check availability. A telephone booking will be held for seven days from the date of the telephone call pending receipt of the deposit cheque and booking form. To reserve the Property the Client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial nonrefundable deposit (20% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit the Owner will send a confirmation letter. This is formal acceptance of the booking.
3. The balance of the rental, together with the Security Deposit (see clause 6) 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.
4. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
5. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. telephone calls) should be settled locally with the Owner before departure.
6. A Security Deposit is payable for every rental period. The security deposit is £100.00 for L'Ecurie, La Bergerie, La Chaumière & Le Pressoir at Kervernel. The security deposit is payable as a separate cheque to the Owner together with the payment of the balance. The security deposit is to cover for example, damage to the Property or its contents. However, the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client’s liability to the Owner. The Security Deposit cheque will be cashed two weeks prior to your arrival. The Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due, after any deductions for such damage, within two weeks after the end of the rental period.
7. 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 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 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 Owners insurance.
8. The rental period shall commence at 16.00 hours on the first day and finish at 10.00 hours 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. These times can be flexible by arrangement with the Owner. Please note that during the period of mid May to mid September the changeover day for L’Ecurie, La Bergerie and Le Pressoir at Kervernel is a Saturday and the changeover day for La Chaumière at Kervernel is a Friday. Outside of this period changeover days are flexible by arrangement with the Owner.
9. The maximum numbers to reside in the Properties must not exceed six for La Chaumière, six for La Bergerie, eight for Le Pressoir, four for L’Ecurie unless the Owner has given written permission.
10. Domestic pets are allowed except for the period of mid July to the end of August.
11. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant, to take good care of the Property and its contents and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. Although a final clean is included in our prices the Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition. The Client also agrees not to act in any way, which would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.
12. The Client shall report to the Owner without any delay any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property, garden or swimming pool, and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.
13. The Owner shall be not be liable to the Client:
for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property, nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance in the Property, garden or swimming pool.
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 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 all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.
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 French law in every particular including formation and interpretation and shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in France.
