This invoice will be sent to the party leader. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.

2. Payment
In order to confirm your stay, a deposit of 20% of the full payment (or full payment if booking within
30 days of departure) must be paid at the time of booking.
This deposit is not refundable in the event of your cancellation or failure
to pay on time as set out below.
The balance of the cost of your stay must be received by us not less than
30 days prior to departure (or at the time of booking
if this date has passed). This date will be shown on the confirmation
invoice. If you have not paid in full and on time we reserve the right
to treat your booking as cancelled by you. In this case the cancellation
charges set out in clause 6 below will be payable.
2a Security Deposit
You must pay a security deposit of £ (GBP)0.00 30 days before the start of your stay (or at the time
of booking if this date has passed). The cost of any damage to the property
or to any items in and/or at the property caused or any service charges
incurred by you or any member of your party (for example telephone calls)
will be deducted by us from the security deposit at the end of your stay.
If no deductions are required your security deposit will be refunded in
full to you 5 days after your departure from the property. If the
security deposit is not sufficient to cover any damage caused or service
charges incurred by you, you will be responsible for paying us any additional
monies required immediately on request from us.
3. Your contract
A binding contract between us comes
into existence when the deposit payment is paid (see clause 2 above).
If you cancel after paying the deposit our normal cancellation charges
will apply. This contract
and all matters arising out of it are governed by United Kingdom law.
We both agree that any dispute arising out of or connected with your
holiday will be dealt with by the Courts of United Kingdom.
4. The cost of your stay
We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of accommodation
at any time. The price of your stay will be confirmed at the time
of booking,
subject to the correction of errors. We reserve the right to correct
errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as
soon as we become
aware of the error.
Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check
the price of your stay at the time of booking.
5. Changes by you
Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed booking, you
must notify us by email as soon as possible. Whilst we will endeavour
to assist,
we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests. Where
we can, an amendment fee may be payable together with any costs incurred
by ourselves.
6. Cancellation by you
Should you need to cancel your stay after the contract has begun (see
clause 3 above), the party leader must immediately advise us either by
cancelling online or advising us in writing. Your notice of
cancellation will only be effective when we receive it
in writing at our offices. As we incur costs from the time we confirm
your booking and may be unable to re-sell your period of stay, the
following cancellation charges will be payable. Where the cancellation charge
is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the
total cost of the booking excluding amendment charges. Amendment charges are not refundable in the event of cancellation.

be made directly to the insurance company concerned.
7. Insurance
It is strongly recommended that you take out adequate travel insurance.
Please read your policy details carefully. It is your responsibility to
ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular
needs. Travel insurance can be purchased separately through Villarenters.com.
8. Changes and cancellation by us
Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors on our website
descriptions and other details both before and after bookings have been
confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to
avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so.
If we have to make a significant change to or cancel your booking, we
will tell you as soon as possible. We will endeavour to offer you an alternative
should a significant change or cancellation occur.
We regret we cannot pay any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you
as a result of any change or cancellation
Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" (see clause
9) to change or terminate your stay after departure but before the scheduled
end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation
does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds, pay you any
compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
9. Force Majeure
We regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the
performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented
or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result
of "force majeure". In these Booking Conditions, "force
majeure" means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s)
in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such
events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or
threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear
disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside
our control.
10. Our Liability to you
10.1. We promise to provide your accommodation with reasonable skill and
care. We do not accept responsibility if any death, personal injury, failure
or deficiency of your accommodation arrangements is not caused by any
fault of ours. When we talk about "fault" above, this means
failure by ourselves to use reasonable skill and care in performing or
providing the service in question. Please note it is your responsibility
to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to
make a claim.
We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: -
(a) the fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
(b) the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your accommodation by us which we could not have predicted or avoided or
(c) an event or circumstance which could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see clause 9)
In addition, we will not be responsible where you do not enjoy your stay
or suffer any problems because of a reason you did not tell us about when
you booked your stay or where any problems you suffer did not result from
any breach of our contract or other fault of ourselves or any losses,
expenses, costs or other sum you have suffered relate to any business.
Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services that do
not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional
services or facilities any other supplier agrees to provide for you.
10.2. The promises we make to you about the accommodation we have agreed
to provide or arrange as part of our contract - and the laws and regulations
of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred - will be used
as the basis for deciding whether the accommodation in question had been
properly provided. If the particular accommodation which gave rise to
the claim or complaint complied with local laws and regulations applicable
to those accommodation at the time, the accommodation will be treated
as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the accommodation
did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have
applied had that accommodation been provided in the UK.
10.3. *We limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any and
all claims or parts of claims which do not involve personal injury, illness
or death. Except where loss of and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions
is concerned or a lower limitation of liability applies to your claim,
the maximum amount we will have to pay you for such non personal injury
claims if we are found liable to you on any basis is twice the price (excluding
insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the
person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable
where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit
at all from your stay.
*Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or
personal possessions (including money), the maximum amount we will have
to pay you is £35 per person affected as you are assumed to have taken
out adequate insurance at the time of booking.
11. Complaints and problems.
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience
any problems with your stay whilst away, you must immediately inform us.
Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to us as soon
as possible. Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin
to resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. For all complaints
and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we
regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint
or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.
12. Behaviour.
You accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any
member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be
paid direct to us at the time. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible
for meeting any legal costs we incur in full in recovering full payment
from you.
We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our
reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in
authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to
cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party
or damage to the property, or in any way damage the reputation and/or
goodwill of the Owner we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate
the occupation of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s)
concerned will be required to leave the accommodation. We will have no
further responsibility toward such person(s). No refunds will be made
and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the
termination.
13 Special requests and medical problems
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking
and clearly note it in the extra information section of the booking form.
*Although we will endeavour to meet any reasonable requests we regret
we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Failure to meet any special
request will not be a breach of contract on our part. We regret we cannot
accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to
be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings
will be treated as "standard" bookings subject to the above
provisions on special requests.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability
that may affect your stay, please tell us before you confirm your booking
so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements.
In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of
booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular
needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their
reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking,
cancel when we become aware of these details.
14. Passports, visas and health requirements
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of all
necessary travel and health documents (including Passports and Visas (where
applicable) before departure. You must pay all costs incurred in obtaining
such documentation. If you or any member of your party is not a British
citizen or holds a non-British passport, you must check passport and visa
requirements with the Embassy or Consulate of the country(ies) to or through
which you are intending to travel.
15. Prices and Website Accuracy
Please note, the information and prices shown on our website may have
changed by the time you come to book your stay. Whilst every effort is
made to ensure the accuracy of the website and prices at the time of requesting
the booking, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore
ensure you check all details of your stay (including the price) on your
booking acceptance.

a refund of the rental price, unless the terms of this contract have been
breached. Complaints received at the end of the stay will not be taken
into consideration and no refunds will be given.

refund cannot be agreed between the parties Villarenters.com Ltd will
act as an independent arbitrator and decide on the amount of refund if
any that is due.
Please note that the property is not an official tourist structure, such
as an hotel, residences, etc. but a private dwelling. Being such, there
is no standard or categories that are internationally recognised, indeed
it reflects the architecture and furnishings, the local traditions and
the personal taste of the owner. This is precisely the kind of holiday
that we offer: the chance to partake in the culture of the area chosen,
living for a few weeks in the same surroundings as an inhabitant would.
We cannot however exclude the possibility that these differences can sometimes
result in minor inconveniences - due to the special nature of its architecture
and of traditions in the area - but which cannot be accepted as complaints.
