La Basse Haie, Cigne

Terms & Conditions

1. La Basse Haie (the Gite) is offered for holiday rental, subject to confirmation by Colin & Evelyn (the owners) to the renter (the client).

2. To reserve the Gite the client should complete the booking form and return it with the non-refundable deposit of £50.00 per week. Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the owners will send a confirmation invoice.  This is the formal acceptance of the booking.

3. The balance of the rent is payable not less than 8 weeks before the start of the rental period.  If payment is not received by the due date the owners reserve the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled.  The clients will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent unless the owners are able to re-let the property.  Once the balance is received if the client cancels the booking the balance is not refundable unless the owners are able to re-rent the property.  Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of the booking.

4. Whilst most Gites ask for a security deposit for example for damage caused, we do not, but we would appreciate, that if any damage is caused the items be replaced.

5. The rental period shall commence at 4pm on the first day and finish at 10am on the last day.  The owners shall not be obliged to offer the client accommodation before the time stated and the client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated.

6. The maximum number to reside in the property must not exceed 6 people, plus one baby.

7. 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.  The client also agrees not to act in any way which would cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.

8. The client shall report to the owners without delay any defects in the property or breakdown in the  equipment or appliances in the property or grounds and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made as soon as possible.

9. The owners shall not be responsible to the client:

• For any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the property, or breakdown in the equipment or appliances in the property or grounds.

• For any loss, damage or injury which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or any other matter beyond the control of the owners.

• For any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the client if the property shall be destroyed or subsequently damaged before the start of the rental period and in any such event, the owners shall, within 7 days of notification to the client refund to the client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.

10. Under no circumstances shall the owner's liability to the client exceed the amount paid to the owner for  the rental period.

11. 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. Any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this contract may be brought in any court of competent.
