4. Changes

Changes to the booking agreement and deviations from these general booking conditions will be valid only if agreed in writing between the Letter or Booking agent and the Tenant.

The down payment as mentioned on the booking form, must be received by the Booking agent within 3 working days after the reservation is made.

If these payment terms are not observed the Booking agent is entitled to cancel the booking without having to refund the payments that have already been made. If bookings are made within four weeks before the rental period, the rent and any deposit, must be paid entirely at time of booking. Deposits will be refunded only if the booking cannot be honoured due to a cause attributable to the Letter or Booking agent.

6. Prices

Prices are stated per accommodation per month per week or per day. The Letter reserves the right to amend the booking price if occasioned by changes to owed levies, exchange rates and taxes. Increases in these costs will be charged to the Tenant as a net amount without surcharges. We do not accept responsibility for typographical errors in the price list or web publications. If the increase occurs within three months of receipt of the booking form, the Tenant will have the right to dissolve the agreement. Amounts already paid will be refunded to the Tenant in such cases.

The rent excludes insurances unless it is explicitly stated that the rent includes insurances and the type of insurance is named.

10. Liability of Letter

Under no circumstances whatsoever will the Accommodation provider, Booking agent or Letter be responsible for any loss or loss of value and/or damage to property of the Tenant and his co-occupants caused by incorrect use of the rented property. If the Tenant incurs damage due to deficiencies in the rented property, any liability on the part of Letter will be limited to the amount of the rent. Damage resulting from non-fulfilment by the Letter will be subject to the compensation provided for by law. Letter will not be liable for any other damage.

11. Liability of Tenant

A Tenant who books accommodation for or jointly on behalf of other occupants will be jointly and severally liable for the total rent and for damage caused by acts by him and all others present with him in the rented accommodation. A booking will be valid for the number of persons stated on the booking form. The property may not be occupied by more persons than stated on the booking form. Occupancy by a larger number may result in dissolution of the booking agreement and loss of the deposit. Payments already made will not be refunded in such circumstances and the Tenant will owe the entire rent. If the Tenant intends to allow more than the permitted number of persons to stay in the rented accommodation, the Tenant must, prior to the rental period, submit a written request to this effect to the Booking agent. The Accommodation provider has the right to refuse such a request or to require an additional surcharge. The Tenant must treat the accommodation according to generally accepted standards.

12. Deposit

You should note that Accommodation providers may require a deposit, depending on the accommodation and the destination. The deposit is payable at the time of booking or on the day of arrival, depending on your Booking agent and/or accommodation. In order to provide the accommodation provide with the opportunity to check the accommodation properly, the deposit will be returned not later than eight days after the end of the rental. In the event of damage and/or loss of the rented property, and/or circumstances for which the Tenant is to blame, the total incurred damage will be deducted from the deposit. In all instances where the costs of damage and/or loss of the rented property or the damage suffered by the owner and/or Accommodation provider exceed the paid deposit the Tenant must immediately pay the excess to the Accommodation provider. All instances of breakage, loss and/or damages must be reported immediately to the Accommodation provider and paid for.

13. Duration of stay, arrival and departure

The customary arrival and departure days may vary according to location. Outside the high season it is generally possible to choose any day of the week as the arrival or departure day. A daily surcharge will generally be payable for rentals of less than a week. For more information you should contact your Booking agent or make a calculation yourself on the website.
The rented property at your holiday destination will generally be available for occupancy between 16:00 hrs. and 18:00 hrs. You should inform the key holder if you expect to arrive after 18:00 hrs. In the event that you arrive later than the time reported in advance to the key holder, the Accommodation provider is authorised to charge you for any extra costs incurred for handing over the keys. On the day of departure you must vacate the accommodation before 09:30 hrs. Failure to do so gives the Accommodation provider and Letter the right to charge you for damages. You may lose your security deposit as a result.
Upon departure the Tenant is expected to leave the accommodation in decent condition – that is: generally clean. The items in and around the accommodation should be put back in their original location (as upon arrival). Crockery should be washed and stored in the appropriate place. The Accommodation provider is authorised to carry out a final check. If the Accommodation provider finds that a number of items have not been returned to their location or if the accommodation has not been left in generally clean condition he is authorised to charge the Tenant for extra costs.
