BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
1.	The property known as Logis St Jean offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Gavin Rodgers and Bernadette Mullan (the Owners) to the renter (the Client).
2.	To reserve the property, the Client should complete and sign the booking form and return it together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (20% of the total rent due). Following receipt of the booking form and deposit, the Owner will send a confirmation invoice and statement. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.
3.	The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 4) is payable not less than 60 days before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, the Owner reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within 60 days of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
4.	A security deposit of L200.00 for the main house and/or L100 for the Gite is required in case of, for example, damage to the Property or its contents. However, the sum reserved clause shall not limit the Clients liability to the Owner. The Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the amount within two weeks after the end of the rental period. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. damage to the Property or contents) will be deducted from the deposit. Although a final cleaning fee is included in the rental, the Owner reserves the right to make retention from the security deposit of any additional cleaning cost if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.
5.	In the case of cancellation the deposit cannot be refunded once paid. Neither can the balancing amount be refunded once paid unless it is outside the 60 days period.
6.	We strongly recommend that the Client arranges a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party's personal belongings, public liability etc.
