1 The main Condition of acceptance of any booking is that good care is taken of the
property and contents and it is left truly clean and tidy as we intend you to find
it. This care is to include all utensils, crockery, equipment and linen. While you
may not necessarily be charged for minor items, you should be aware that all damages
and breakages are the holidaymaker’s responsibility and their cost shall be repayable
on demand. A good housekeeping deposit of £75 is payable (£100 at Xmas & New Year).
This deposit is intended and may be used to offset the cost of remedying any damages,
breakages or losses sustained; or any unbudgeted costs incurred for restoring the
property to a suitably clean and tidy condition; or excessive usage of utilities,
as will be expected by the next party of visitors. This deposit cheque will not normally
be banked but will be shredded and disposed of following your stay unless funds are
required, in which case you will be notified in writing of the amount deducted -
the balance being forwarded to you. The Good Housekeeping Deposit shall not be used
to cover any payments due or any extras etc. 2 Holidays are from 4.00pm on arrival
day until 10.00am on departure day. Keys are collected and returned from us, or we
will arrange a suitable place for collection. 3 A deposit of one third of the rental
is payable on booking. The balance is due 8 weeks before the first day of the holiday.
Where a booking is made less than 8 weeks before arrival the full rental is payable
when booking. 4 Following receipt of the Booking Form & Deposit, you will be sent
Confirmation of Booking. A contract is thus formed between you and us and you are
then responsible for the balance of any rental. Any contract created in connection
with any booking shall be deemed for the purpose of any litigation to have been created
in Ascot SL5 7JT. 5 The property is offered only on the understanding that no more
than the standard maximum number of people as indicated in the brochure shall use
it, except by prior written agreement. As the cottage is principally designed for
family holidays we reserve the right to refuse or curtail any booking which may in
our opinion by reason of number or composition be unsuitable for the property concerned.
6 If for any reason beyond our control the property is not available, or has been
rendered unsuitable for holiday letting, (eg. by fire damage or some system fault)
on the date booked, all rent and charges paid by the holidaymaker will be refunded
in full, but there shall be no further claim against us. 7 No liability is accepted
for any loss, damage, sickness or injury howsoever caused which may be sustained
during the holiday to the Tenant or any member of the party or any invited person,
or any car and its contents, or any possession of the Tenant or any member of the
party as defined above. 8 Pets are not permitted. 9 Electricity - there is a surcharge
for electricity, payable in advance with the balance, according to season. Refunds
or surcharges are not made unless there has been excessive under or over use.10 Linen/Equipment/Food
- Towels and linen are supplied. The property is equipped with sufficient crockery,
cutlery, kitchen equipment, dining and easy chairs, beds, bedding and bed linen for
the standard number of people indicated. All food, washing-up liquid and dishwasher
powders should be brought with you. 11 Parking is available for 2 cars. 12 If there
should be any cause for complaint, or accidental damage, this must be reported to
us immediately, otherwise the matter cannot be fully investigated. It is too late
to report it after the holiday. While we will do everything reasonably within our
power to effect speedy repairs to properties and/or furnishings or equipment or facility
that may be faulty or fail during your holiday, no guarantees are given and no refunds
will be made should any such fault failure or breakdown occur and not be immediately
rectifiable or rectified. 13 Cancellation – your deposit and rental payment will
be refunded only in case of : (a) Death, illness, quarantine or bodily injury (i)
of you or any member of your party and/or (ii) of the wife, husband, parent, parent-in-law,
child, sister, brother, fiance(e) or close business associate of you or any member
of your party (excluding pets). (b) Unemployment or Redundancy qualifying for payment
under the terms of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 or any update
thereof, of you or any member of your party declared on the booking form to be sharing
the rental. (c) Being summoned for Jury Service or witness attendance in a Court
in the United Kingdom. (d) Police requiring you to return home following theft at
your home or place of business or damage rendering your home or place of business
uninhabitable. It is a Condition Precedent that you and all members of your party
deemed to be covered are under the age of 75 and are in good health physically and
mentally at the time of booking. This does not cover claims directly or indirectly
resulting from or consequent upon (i) winter sports, mountaineering (normally involving
ropes and/or guides) tours, motor competitions;
(ii) any recurring, chronic or continuing
illness, disability or condition of any of the persons covered, for which medical

insurance;
(viii) any loss which is otherwise insured. Our decision on refund will
be final. 15 If the reason for cancellation is not covered by the terms above, the
rental is payable in full. We will do our best to re-let and if successful would
normally return the balance of rental. 16 While we make every effort to ensure that
any descriptions, advertisements or representations are accurate and made in good
faith, they shall not create any liability on our part and no special condition,
exception, modification, arrangement or liability can be made or accepted on our
behalf excepting by us in writing. 17 Lost Property We will retain lost property
items at our house for 28 days only, from date of departure. Items to be returned

any items and do not return any food or drink items. 18. Keys. Lost keys will be
