Your signature on the booking form confirms that you have read and understood fully these conditions.
1. Contract
No contract will exist between the Client and the Owner until the Client receives a letter of confirmation from the Owner. This letter will acknowledge receipt of the deposit for the booking and will confirm the period selected for the holiday.
2. Confirmation
No letter of confirmation can be issued by the Owner unless a completed and signed booking form has been received (with correct deposit) from the Client.
3. Owner's Rights
The Owner reserves the right to decline any reservation without explanation. In any such instance the deposit will be returned in full.
4. Non Payment
Should the Owner not receive the balance of the total cost of a booking at least 8 weeks prior to the arrival date, the Client will be deemed to have cancelled the booking.
5. Cancellation by Owner
Should the Owner, due to circumstances beyond the Owner's control, have reason to cancel the booking then all monies received from the Client will be refunded in full. The owner will not be liable for any claims for compensation.
6. Cancellation by Client
Any cancellation of a booking must be made in writing, signed by the person identified on the booking form and sent by recorded delivery to the Owner. The deposit is non-refundable, however, should the cancellation be received prior to the holiday but after the due date of the balance, the Owner will refund 50% of the balance due provided that the Owner is able to relet the accommodation. Should the owner be unable to re-let the accommodation no money will be returned. We strongly advise that the Client ensures that adequate Holiday Insurance is in place prior to payment of the balance of the holiday cost.
7. Bond
The Client will be responsible for any damage caused to the building or its contents of the chosen accommodation. In the event of any such damage, the bond (breakage deposit) will be refunded less the costs of repair, replacement and reinstatement of such damage.
8. Owner's Liability
The Owner undertakes to provide accommodation to the standard described in any advertising medium through which the client has made the booking.
9. Claims
Any claims deemed to be the responsibility of the Owner must be notified in writing within 28 days of the departure date from the Owner's accommodation.
10. Representation
Dimensions, sizes, layouts and descriptions appearing in advertisements for accommodation offered by the Owner are intended as a guide to the Standards offered by the Owner and, due to replacements and alterations, may change from time to time.
11. Law

“The Owner” shall be J C Smith trading as “Burgundy Gites”
