Booking Conditions - June 2009 Edition

You are advised to print and retain a copy of this page.

1. LA BOSNIERE

The property known as LA BOSNIERE (“the property”) comprises three cottages which are offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by C.J.H. Seely (“the Owner”) to the renter (“the Client”).

2. PAYMENT
35% of the full rental charge for any letting is payable on reservation.

The balance, plus an additional deposit (currently £50), is payable no less than 8 weeks before the arrival date.

The security deposit will be retained against breakages, exceptional cleaning and any space heating costs. Any return of deposit will be made within 2 weeks of departure.

Payment should preferably be made direct to my bank. You must quote your surname as a reference. Details of the bank account will be provided on request. Alternatively you can send payment by cheque (made payable to 'Charles Seely') to my UK agent: Barry Hampson at 63 Passmore, Tinkers Bridge, Milton Keynes, MK6 3DY.

3. CANCELLATION

Once a reservation has been made, the client becomes liable for payment of the full rental charge, except to the extent that the owner may be able to offset his losses by re-letting.

4. ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

Bookings are taken from Saturday 4.00pm to Saturday 9.00am. Clients are asked to leave the premises as they found them.

5. PARTY SIZE

A maximum of six persons can be accommodated in cottages 1 & 2, and 4 persons in the smaller cottage No. 3. On no account may this number be exceeded without prior written agreement. IT IS ALSO REGRETTED that daily visits by friends cannot be permitted without the prior written permission of the Owner as this may impinge on the use of the facilities by other clients.

6. CLIENTS RESPONSIBILITY

Under French law the client is responsible for the property and its contents whilst on holiday. The use of the accommodation and amenities is entirely at the client’s risk and no responsibility can be accepted for any personal injury or for loss or damage to the clients’ and visitors’ belongings, including cars and their contents.

7. TRAVEL AND CANCELLATION INSURANCE

It is strongly recommended that, from the date that the reservation is made the client takes out Personal Travel and Cancellation Insurance to cover personal liability, vehicle breakdown and full medical treatment.

8. LIMITATION OF OWNERS LIABILITY

The owner shall not be liable to the client:
(i) 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;
(ii) 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;
(iii) 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.
