Reservations are accepted by Fairhaven Holiday Cottages (FHC) on behalf of owners only on the conditions shown on the Booking Form together with the following booking conditions ("the Booking Conditions");
1. Letting Contract
Fairhaven Holiday Cottages (FHC) acts entirely as Booking Agents for the owners of all the properties offered and contracts accepted by FHC shall be between the Person signing the Booking Form (The Applicant) and the owner of the property for whom the booking is made (The Owner).
2. Liability of Responsible Applicant
The Applicant certifies that he or she is authorised to sign the Booking Form on behalf of all persons who will occupy the property during the period for which he has booked it and that they are all, apart from infants, aware of the Booking Conditions. The brochure description of each property clearly indicates the maximum number of guests who may occupy it and the surrounding grounds. Exceeding this number constitutes a breach of contract and the Owner of the property has the right to terminate the booking forthwith and all monies paid by the applicant will be forfeit.
3. Confirmation of Booking
No booking will be accepted by FHC unless a Booking Form has been filled in by the Applicant and accepted by FHC on behalf of the Owner. All Contracts will be deemed to have been made in England and are in accordance with and subject to English Law.
4. Extras
Extras are charged by certain owners as indicated in the descriptions of the properties concerned. When booking these properties the Applicant accepts the owners right to charge these extras either directly or through FHC as specified in the details. Specific amounts chargeable are advised in the brochure, on the website and/or on the ‘Key Details and Directions’ advice or can be obtained by contacting FHC's office.
5. Cancellation
- a) In the event of a holiday being cancelled or curtailed due to certain defined causes the Applicant may be entitled to compensation of monies already paid subject to the Terms and Conditions relevant to the party less teh sum of twenty pounds (£20) per week of the booking for UK residents and sixty pounds (£60) for non UK residents. For full Terms and Conditions click here if you are a UK resident or click here if you are a non UK resident.
- b) All cancellations which are not covered under this arrangement must also be sent to FHC in writing. The Applicant still remains liable for the final payment on the due date (56 days prior to the date of the booking) and failure to make such payment in full at the time will be treated as a Breach of Contract. On receiving the cancellation FHC will offer the holiday again at a price which in its experience is most likely to result in the holiday period being re-let. If this is achieved the Applicant will be refunded with all the monies paid less twenty pounds (£20) per booking week and any losses incurred in re-letting the property including loss of rental.
6. Balance Payments
Final Payments set out in the Booking Form are due eight weeks (56 days) before a holiday commences. If the final amount is not paid on the due date FHC will then advise the Applicant by Recorded Delivery at the address given by the Applicant on the Booking Form that his booking is cancelled and his initial payment is forfeit and that he remains liable for the full amount of the final payment. Without further delay FHC will then offer the holiday once more at whatever price it feels appropriate. In the event of a re-let repayment shall be paid to the Applicant after deduction of any difference in the rental received on re-letting together with any reasonable administrative or professional costs incurred in connection with such re-letting.
