STANDARD
BOOKING CONDITIONS
1. This contract is for the hire of holiday/vacation
accommodation by the persons named below only [the Hirer(s)] and for
the period specified below only and is under French jurisdiction.
The Hirers are responsible for making their own travel arrangements
and must take out their own comprehensive travel/holiday
insurance. It is a condition of booking as stipulated by
the EU Travel Directive. Important: Your Insurance must include
third party/personal liability. (This does not apply to visitors
from North America)
2. The Hirers accept that the accommodation Owners,
their Agents or Employees shall not be held responsible or liable
for any accident or injury to any members of the party or visitors,
howsoever caused, nor for loss or damage to any personal goods or
property, howsoever caused. Children MUST be supervised at all times.
3. The Owners are relieved from liabilities if the
accommodation should become unavailable for any unforeseen circumstances.
In this event a refund may be made limited to the maximum rental fee
paid by the Hirers and every assistance will be given to secure alternative
accommodation for you.
4.Under
any circumstances, the Owners maximum liability will be limited to
the amount of rent paid by the Hirers.
5. It is the Hirers responsibility to satisfy themselves
that the style, type, standard and location of the accommodation they
choose suits their purposes. All information is on this website and
includes subjective opinion. French Regulations and standards apply.
If you should have any specific questions or special requirements
not covered on this website, please email tony@niceapartments.co.uk
6. Hirers are responsible and liable for
all damage or breakages during their stay, whether accidental or negligent
and are required to replace or pay for damage/breakages. We do not
like the principle of holding an 'in case of damage' security bond
from you but we do ask you kindly to replace anything that gets broken
or damaged and to respect the accommodation and all its contents for
us and all future Hirers. If you are unable to replace an item for
any reason, you must let us know immediately so that
we can ensure that the next Hirers receive the full benefit of completely
equipped accommodation, which of course, as you will appreciate, they
rightfully deserve. Any necessary repairs, replacements, or any unexpected
costs, etc. will be charged to you at cost only and we will give you
all reasonable assistance for you to recover the cost from your Insurer,
where appropriate.
7. If it is deemed by us in our reasonable
opinion, or by any person in authority, that the behaviour of any
member of your party, or person you invite to the accommodation, causes
or would be likely to cause danger, distress, offence or upset to
a third party or damage to the accommodation your holiday will be
terminated immediately and the accommodation must be vacated at once,
without recourse.
8. The Hirers must first
seek the Owners written approval if they intend to throw a party,
host a reception, entertain visitors or do professional or commercial
business at the accommodation, or the Hirers will be in Breach of
Contract. Such written approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Please note that pets are not allowed at the accommodation. All of
the accommodation is non-smoking but you may smoke outside on the
balconies.
9. We will post the keys for the apartment
to you 10 days before the start of your vacation, so that you will
have the keys in your hands before you commence your journey to Nice.
Upon receipt by you, all the keys to the accommodation become your
responsibility at all times and must be returned to us by an insured,
to be signed for, 'trackable' service immediately after your stay.
The keys remain your responsibility until they are received back by
us. N.B. The property must always be fully locked when unattended.
10. The accommodation, which is self-catering, is available
from 16.00 hours on the day of arrival and must
be vacated in a clean, tidy and hygienic condition by 10.30 am on
the day of departure.
You are required to leave all crockery,
cutlery, utensils and pans in a clean state and stored away properly
in the cupboards ready for the next visitors.
You must remove all your household waste
out of the apartment before you depart and put it in the apartment
building's communal bins.
This is to enable the cleaners to prepare the property
for the next Hirers. We reserve the right to make a surcharge if damage
or loss is caused to the accommodation or contents; if the accommodation
requires more than the normal amount of time to clean and prepare
for the next Hirers or if more than the normal amount of laundry is
required to be done; or the next Hirers entry into the accommodation
is delayed because it is not possible to commence cleaning by 10.30
am. All bed linen is supplied. Please note
that towels are not provided but can be arranged for you if specifically
requested and agreed.
The
price for the accommodation includes all electricity,
water and gas charges (and heating should it ever be required), all
bed linen and end-of-stay laundry charges, end-of-stay cleaning costs,
concierge fees, and all local charges and taxes.
11. A
deposit of 30% of the total rental cost is payable upon booking.
The balance must be paid 2 months prior to the holiday. Payments
made on cancelled bookings are not returnable (except as noted in
condition 3 above) but we will give you all reasonable assistance
for you to recover your costs from your Insurer, where appropriate.
Please kindly note that if payment in full is not received 2 months
before the holiday, the booking will be deemed to have been cancelled
and the accommodation will be re-let. Please make your own diary
note as reminders are not sent.
Payment
is by cheque in £ sterling made payable to Tony Cremer-Price
OR by various payment cards (but not American Express). To protect
your financial security, please phone Tony direct with your card details.
12.
