1. The Property

The Property known as La Maison de Lune (the ‘Property‘) is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Sally & Peter Richardson (the ‘Owners‘) to the renter (the ‘Client‘).

2. The Reservation

To reserve the Property, the Client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non- refundable deposit (25% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the Owner will send a receipt for the deposit confirming the rental period and date of final payment. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.

3. The Rent

The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 5) is payable not less than four weeks before the start of the rental period. We will send a reminder before the final payment is due. If payment is not received by the due date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice by e-mail that the reservation is cancelled. The client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the Owner is able to re-let the Property. In this event, clause 6 of these booking conditions will apply. Reservations made within four weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.

4. Expenses

If the duration of the Reservation is greater than 7 days and the Client requires a change of bed linen or cleaning to be undertaken a charge for this service will be made.

5. Security Deposit

A security deposit of £500.00 is required in case of, 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 Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period.

6. Cancellation

Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a 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 insurance 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 Owner‘s insurance.

7. Rental Period

The rental period shall commence at 4.30pm on the first day and finish at 10.00am 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.

8. Residents

The maximum number to reside in the Property must not exceed 6 unless the Owner has given written permission.

9. The Client

The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property 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.

10. Equipment

The Client shall report to the Owner‘s without 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.

11. Damages

The Client undertakes to inform the Owners of any missing or broken items or damage to the Property. The Client undertakes to pay the Owners for any loss or damage.

12. The Owner

The Owner shall 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 to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.

13. Septic Tank (Fosse Septic)

The Property uses a septic tank for drainage. This is a very efficient system however it will clog if improper materials are flushed. Please do NOT flush anything other than toilet paper. No feminine products should be flushed at anytime and if it is found that this has occurred and the septic tank has been clogged the Client will be charged for damages arising.

14. Injury

The Owners do not accept liability for injury or death however caused as a result of the use of the swimming pool or any other part of the Property. Children must be supervised at all times. Guests must also exercise care on the surrounding surfaces which may be slippery when wet.

15. Liability

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 English law in every particular including formation and interpretation and shall be deemed to have been made in England.
