4.2.    Like many online services the Business uses a feature called a 'cookie', which is a small data file that is sent to your browser from a web server if you access our website to make an enquiry or Booking request and is stored on your device's hard drive.  By agreeing to these Booking Conditions, you are providing your consent for the Business to use cookies in the ways described in our Privacy Policy, however, you may delete any of these cookies at any time if you wish.

4.3.    The Business may record telephone calls between you and the Business for monitoring and training purposes.  In the event of a dispute between you and the Business, the Business reserves the right to review any recorded calls.

5.       The role of the Business

5.1.    The Business acts as partner for the Owner at all times by arranging and administering Bookings and taking payment from you for the Booking.  Any involvement in the day-to-day management of any Property is undertaken solely on the Owner's behalf and under his/her instructions. Accordingly, the Business can accept no responsibility for any problems that may arise with any Property and all legal responsibility therefore remains with the Owner. The Business does not own any of the Properties, but the Business reserves the right to refuse any Bookings in accordance with these Booking Conditions.

5.2.    Once the Business has accepted a Booking in accordance with the Booking Process and has issued you with a Booking Confirmation, a legally binding Rental Contract will be formed between you and the Owner under which the Owner will make the Property available to you and provide the Rental Services for the Holiday Period.  The Business is not party to the Rental Contract.

5.3.    The following will form part of the Rental Contract between you and the Owner:

5.3.1.your Booking Details,

5.3.2.these Booking Conditions, and

5.3.3.any other special or additional conditions that the Business draws to your attention during the Booking Process before the Business accepts your Booking.

5.4.    As the Business' obligations to you are limited to those in connection with the Booking Service only, the Business accepts no liability for any defects or unavailability of the Property or any other problems with your Booking. Your rights under these Booking Conditions and the Rental Contract are against the Owner.  Please see further the Business Liability section in these Booking Conditions (see section 20).

6.       Your use of the Booking Services

6.1.    These Booking Conditions apply to the Booking Services provided to you by the Business.

6.2.    Our Booking Services are available to you for your personal, non-commercial use only.  You may not offer for resale any Booking Services or Rental Services for any Properties that appear on the Business website or via third party without the express written permission of the Business.

7.       Property and Rental Services Descriptions

7.1.    The Business makes every effort to ensure that the descriptions (including Rental Charges and availability) relating to the Properties and Rental Services on the Business website are accurate and complete.  These descriptions include details of the Property and Rental Charges and any additional charges, the facilities available at the Property, maximum occupancy number, any accreditations, awards or descriptions of quality relating to the Property including star ratings. However, although the Business take all reasonable steps to ensure that its records, brochure and website are up to date, the Business do not have exclusive control of any Property and/or its amenities and facilities and accordingly the Business cannot give any guarantees as to the accuracy thereof.

7.2.    If the Business discovers a mistake or error relating to this information, the Business will use its reasonable endeavours to correct this on our website and will contact you if that information relates to a Booking that you have already made through the Business.

7.3.    The Property and Rental Services descriptions do not constitute advice or recommendation given by the Business. The Business does not independently verify accreditations, awards or star or other quality ratings and such ratings are only indicative of what level of quality you can expect from an individual Property. Any advice, guidance and/or recommendation given by the Business is a personal opinion only and will not constitute any warranty, guarantee, term or condition. The Business will not be liable for inaccuracies or errors in this information or the accommodation information as this information is supplied to the Business by the Owners.

7.4.    Review ratings on the website reflect previous guests' comments and are subjective. As such these are not the responsibility of the Business.

7.5.    Rental Charges shown in search listings on the Business website are per Property (and not per person).  It is your responsibility to check the total price before completing the Booking Process.

7.6.    The Business does not accept responsibility for any changes or closures to amenities or attractions mentioned in the Property or Rental Services descriptions on the Business website or in the brochure.

8.4.    By making a Booking with the Business you are making an offer to:

8.4.1.receive our Booking Service and the Rental Services,

8.4.2.enter into a Rental Contract with the applicable Owner in relation to the Property you have selected, and

8.4.3.pay the Business all amounts due in respect of the Rental Charges (including the Deposit).

8.5.    The following steps must take place before a contract is made between you and the Business for the provision of the Booking Services and between you and the applicable Owner for the provision of Rental Services under a Rental Contract:

8.5.1. You submit your Booking to the Business on the website by submitting your Booking Details and your payment details for processing,

8.5.2.Before submitting your Booking to the Business on the website, the Booking Process will give you the opportunity to review your Booking, these Booking Conditions and the Booking Details for the selected Property and, if required, make amendments,

8.5.3.For telephone bookings the Business will read you details of your Booking for your confirmation.  You may make any required amendments at this point. The Business will then request your payment details and the Business will process the payment which is due and payable in respect of your Booking,

8.5.4.For on-line bookings, you will receive an on-screen acknowledgement of your website Booking and a receipt for your payment by email at the address you provided,

8.5.5.For telephone bookings the Business will verbally confirm your Booking reference and will send you a receipt for your payment by email at the address you provided,

8.5.7.3.             acting on the applicable Owner's behalf, your offer to enter into the Rental Contract,

in each case, at the time the Business issues you with the Booking Confirmation. No action by the Business can be construed as an acceptance of your offer until we issue you with the Booking Confirmation at which point a contract will be made between you and the Business for the Booking Services and with the Owner for the provision of the Rental Services under the Rental Contract.

8.6.    When the Business accepts payment for all or any part of the Rental Charges and such sum is received by the Business in cleared funds, you will no longer owe a debt to the Owner or the Business for the associated amount.

9.       Fees, charges and payment

9.1.    The fees and charges (including without limitation the Rental Charges) will be as quoted on the Business website, or communicated to you at the time of booking and will be quoted and charge in pounds sterling (GBP).  The Business uses its best efforts to ensure that these are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the Business' systems or added to the brochure. However, it is always possible that, despite the best efforts of the Business, some of the fees and charges on the website or in the brochure may be incorrect (including without limitation the Rental Charges) and the Business therefore reserves the right to change such fees and charges at any time.  The Business will normally check these prices as part of the confirmation procedures so that:

9.1.1.where the actual Rental Charges or other fees are less than those quoted on the website or in the brochure at the time you made your Booking, the Business will charge the lower amount when confirming the Booking to you; and

9.1.2.where the actual Rental Charges or other fees are higher than those quoted on the website or in the brochure at the time you made your Booking, the Business will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and the Business will give you the option of continuing to book the Property at the correct (higher) price or cancelling your Booking.  The Business will not process your Booking until it has your instructions. If the Business is unable to contact you using the contact details provided during the Booking Process, the Business will treat the Booking as cancelled and notify you in writing.

9.2.    The fees and charges may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any Booking which the Business has confirmed with a Booking Confirmation.

9.3.    All Rental Charges and all other fees and charges quoted on the Business website or in the brochure include VAT, where applicable.

9.4.    Before submitting your Booking, you will be presented with details of the total Rental Charges payable for your Booking together with details of the following amounts which are payable to the Business at the time of making the Booking:

9.4.1.the Booking Fee (which is non-refundable in all circumstances once a Booking Confirmation is issued);

9.4.2.the Deposit and, if the date the Rental Balance would normally fall due for that Booking has already passed, the Rental Balance too; and

9.4.3.any additional fees and charges quoted during the Booking Process when you make your Booking (for example early check-in, pet charges).

9.5.    If you are paying a Deposit rather than the entire Rental Charges when making your Booking, you will also be presented with the date by which you will need to make payment to the Business for the Rental Balance.  Please note, the Business may (but is not obliged to) contact you to remind you of the due date for the payment of the Rental Balance.

9.6.    Payments must be made to the Business by one of the Payment Methods.

9.7.    For on-line bookings, the Business will take the payments due at the time of Booking from your chosen Payment Method once you have entered your payment details and have clicked the 'Pay' button, subject to payment authorisation.  If you are making payment by telephone the Business will confirm your payment details with you before processing.

9.8.    If the Rental Balance or any other additional payments are due after you make your Booking, then:

9.8.1.if you authorised the Business to take payment for these amounts from your chosen payment method when you made your Booking, the Business will automatically take payment from you using your original Payment Method.  If there has been a change to the Rental Charges the Business will contact you before taking payment; or

10.   Interest charges

10.1.                     Without effecting any other rights under these Booking Conditions, if you do not make any payment to the Business by the due date the Business and/or the Owners may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of three percent (3%) a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time.  This interest shall accrue daily from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. You must pay the Business interest together with any overdue amount.

11.   Security Deposits (or housekeeping bonds)

11.1.                    The Business may charge a 'good housekeeping bond' known as a Security Deposit, which will be included alongside the charges quoted to you during the Booking Process. This Security Deposit is in addition to the Deposit paid by you.

11.2.                     Any refusal by you to pay any such Security Deposit will mean that the Booking cannot be made or will be cancelled.

11.3.                     The Security Deposit may be used to offset the cost of remedying any breakages, damages or losses sustained by the Owner and any unbudgeted costs, which in the Business and/or the Owner's reasonable opinion, has been incurred by the Owner as a result of the Booking, for restoring the Property back to a suitable clean and tidy condition for the next guests.

12.4.                     Gift Vouchers are valid normally for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase but can be longer in certain circumstances.  The expiry date will be visible on the Gift Voucher and should be referred to in assessing its validity. The Gift Voucher can be used for any Booking with a Holiday Period that starts before the Gift Voucher's validity period expires.  Any remaining balance on a Gift Voucher may no longer be used after the expiry of its validity period.

13.2.                     If you would like to amend your Booking, please contact the Business using the details in the Contact Us section below.  If an Owner agrees to amend the Booking, additional charges including additional Rental Charges and/or an Amendment Fee may be payable to cover the costs of making the amendment.  This does not affect your legal rights.

13.3.                     After you receive your Booking Confirmation:

You may, however, end the Rental Contract in accordance with the section Your Right to end a Rental Contract (please see section 23).

13.4.                     You may not transfer your Rental Contract to another person.  If you do not stay at the Property during the Holiday Period but your Guests do, you will still be legally responsible for all your obligations under the Rental Contract and these Booking Conditions and your Guests' compliance with them.

13.5.                     If you wish to make a request to cancel your Booking, such a request must be made in writing.

At the Business' option, the Business will use its reasonable efforts to re-let the Property for the Holiday Period and will act reasonably in doing so. If successful, the Business will refund such proportion of monies paid by you as the Business is able to recover from such re-letting, less the Cancellation Fee.

28.2.                     In these Booking Conditions, words that appear after the expression 'include', 'including', 'for example', 'such as' or 'in particular' (or any similar expression) will not limit the meaning of the words appearing before such expression.

28.3.                     The Business and each Owner may transfer our rights and obligations under these Booking Conditions to another organisation.  The Business or the Owner will contact you to let you know if this is planned. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact the Business or the Owner to end the relevant contract within 14 days of the Business or the Owner telling you about it and the Business will refund you any payments you have made in advance for services that have not been provided.

28.4.                     If the Business or an Owner is prevented or delayed from complying with any obligations under these Booking Conditions by anything you, or anyone acting on your behalf, does or fails to do or due to events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Business or an Owner, the inability or delay in performing those obligations will not be treated as a breach of the terms of these Booking Conditions.  Examples of such events or circumstances include fire, flood and other acts of God, strikes, trade disputes, lock outs, riot, accident, disruption to energy supplies, civil commotion, acts of terrorism or war.

28.5.                     You need the consent of the Business and/or the Owner to transfer your rights to someone else.  You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under a contract made under these Booking Conditions to another person if the Business or an Owner, as applicable, agree to this in writing.

28.6.                     Nobody else has any rights under these Booking Conditions or the Rental Contract.  Each contract for the provision of the Booking Services is between you and the Business.  Each Rental Contract is between you and the Owner.

28.8.                     Even if the Business or an Owner delays enforcing a contract made under these Booking Conditions, the Business or the Owner (as applicable) can still enforce it later.  If the Business or an Owner do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Booking Conditions, or if the Business or an Owner delay in taking steps against you in respect of you breaking a contract made under them, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent the Business or an Owner (as applicable) taking steps against you at a later date.

28.9.                     These Booking Conditions and any Rental Contract are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in the English or Welsh courts.

28.10.                  Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.  If you are not happy with how the Business or an Owner has handled any complaint, you may want to contact an alternative dispute resolution provider. If you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings.

If you continue to use the website after that period has expired it means you accept any such changes.  The modified Booking Conditions will not apply to any Bookings where the Booking Confirmation has been issued to you before the date the modified Booking Conditions come into effect.
