Booking Conditions

The signing of the Booking Form confirms the acceptance of the terms and conditions set out and shall be binding on the person(s) Booking and intending to occupy the premises.

BOOKINGS
1. An initial reservation may be made by telephone or e-mail and will be held for four days. Completion and return of booking form and full deposit or payment as appropriate must then confirm this. Bookings made for mid and high season will normally only be accepted for complete weeks.

DEPOSIT/SECURITY DEPOSIT
2. A deposit of £150 per week is required with the completed booking form. Confirmation of booking will normally be made within seven days of receipt of deposit. Once the booking is confirmed, the deposit will be non-refundable but will be deducted from the full rental amount due. A refundable security deposit will be charged on arrival in Orlando, via imprint of a valid credit card to the value of $250.00 to cover any breakage or damage whilst staying in the holiday home. We retain the right to retain the security deposit (either in part of full) to cover breakages, damage or non-return of the key. Receipts for repairs/replacements will be provided in the unlikely event that such retention of the security deposit is necessary. We reserve the right to pursue a quest for recompense for any and all damages caused which may exceed the value of the security deposit within 14 days of being served notice of this.

BALANCE OF PAYMENT
3. The balance of the cost is to be paid no later than 8 weeks before the departure date. When a booking is made within 8 weeks of departure payment in full must accompany the booking form. Key collection details will be sent to you after full payment has been received.
The owners reserve the right to cancel the booking if payment is not received by the due date.

CANCELLATION CHARGES
4. The client may cancel the booking at any time after it has been confirmed. Cancellation must be made in writing. Every effort will made to re-book your dates, but if we are unable to do so, the following cancellation charges will apply:
   A. More than eight weeks before departure - deposit forfeited
   B. Between four and eight weeks before departure - 50% of total cost forfeited
   C. Less than 4 weeks before departure - 100% of total cost forfeited
If through circumstances beyond our control, it is necessary for us to cancel (which would be wholly exceptional) we will refund any monies paid, without interest or further compensation.

AMENDMENTS
1. Alterations to confirmed bookings can be made at owner's discretion and the client's request - an administration fee of £10.00 may be charged. Changes need to be notified in writing together with the relevant fee.

OCCUPANCY

A telephone is available for your use in the villa, with local calls being free of charge, but you will need a pre-paid phone or credit card for long distance or international calls.

POOL HEATING
4. If pool heating is required, this must be requested at the time of booking. There is an additional charge and this must be paid for within the final balance. In the event pool heating is requested and paid for, the owners cannot guarantee the temperature of the pool as this will vary according to different factors, the main one being the prevailing weather conditions.
