d) PAYMENT

A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the property rental fee is payable at the time of booking to reserve the Guest’s preferred dates. The remaining balance of 70% of the property rental fee is due 3 months before the arrival date of the rental. Any bookings taken within 3 months of the arrival date must be paid in full at the time of booking. It is the Guests responsibility to ensure that all payments due in relation to the Booking or services are paid on time and in full. Failure to pay the deposit or balance within this timeframe will be perceived as cancellation by the Guest. The Guest must contact Elysian Estates immediately if payment cannot be made on time. All payments will be acknowledged by Elysian Estates and the Guest must contact us immediately if they have not received confirmation of a payment. Once payments are received they are non-refundable should the guest decide not to proceed with the booking for any reason.

A refundable Damage Deposit is payable for each Booking for the amount of £1000 which must be paid in cleared funds one week before the start of the Booking.

Payment, payment terms, and the terms and conditions for any service or supplies are governed by the terms and conditions of the supplier(s) and are not the responsibility of Elysian Estates whether or not these are detailed in the booking confirmation. Any additional services or supplies must be paid for in full at the time of booking any such service or supplies and are non-refundable.

A minimum charge of £20 will become due in each event of a deposit, balance or other payment by the client being declined or returned on presentation to our bank (higher charges will only apply in the event of higher bank charges or administration costs).

No interest is payable to the Guest for any monies held by or paid to Elysian Escapes and no credit for any such interest will be payable to the Guest.

All payments must be made to Elysian Escapes Limited. Payments can be made by electronic transfer, cheque, debit card or credit card (please note all card payments are subject to a 3.5% surcharge).

All prices are inclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. No discounts will be applied to the Booking unless stated on the confirmation letter.

The Guest may not off-set any sums owed to Elysian Estates against any sums due to Elysian Estates, the Owner or any supplier to the Guest. No deduction or abatement will be made of the grounds of any alleged shortfall, defect or failure to conform with any description, specification or any other breach by Elysian Estates whatsoever.

Elysian Estates may in its absolute discretion whether on its own behalf or on behalf of the Owner refuse any booking without giving a reason prior to sending a confirmation letter. In this instance, any monies paid will be returned in full to the Guest. No interest will be paid on any monies held by us.

All properties and services are subject to availability and prices can change without prior notice. Your Booking price will be confirmed when Elysian Estates receives payment due and the confirmation letter has been sent.

e) DAMAGE DEPOSIT

The Guest agrees to pay a £1000.00 Damage Deposit to Elysian Estates in cleared funds one week prior to their arrival at the Property. The Guest consents that deductions may be made from the Damage Deposit for the cost of replacement, repair or additional cleaning costs as specified by the Owner associated with any excess mess, damage or breakages that occur during their Booking as described in section 6. The Guest will be notified in writing within 14 days of the end of the Booking of any charges to be deducted. Should the charges incurred exceed the amount of the Damage Deposit; the Guest will be fully responsible for paying any surplus charges within 14 days of the charges being presented to the Guest. Elysian Estates reserves the right to charge the Guest for up to 30 days from the end of the Booking should the Damage Deposit be insufficient to cover the costs.

Elysian Estates may also charge the Guest for any loss of income incurred by Elysian Estates or the Owner should the damage or loss caused by the Guest or any of his Group or Visitors prevent Elysian Estates or the Owner from fulfilling other agreements or contracts entered into with any party.

The Guest must settle any or all outstanding payments, bills or invoices relating to the Booking or services before leaving the Property at the end of the Booking. The Guest agrees that any outstanding payments may also be deducted from the Damage Deposit.

Any damage deposit deductions will be subject to a £20 + VAT administration fee.

Should the Property be left in a satisfactory state and all outstanding invoices have been paid, the Damage Deposit will be returned to the Guest in full within 14 days of the end of the Booking.

Overdue accounts may be passed to a debt recovery specialist at the discretion of Elysian Estates without prior notification to the Guest. Should this occur an administration fee will be added to the account and any fees or expenses charged by the debt recovery specialist or incurred by Elysian Estates shall be payable in addition to the outstanding amount accrued by the Guest.

f) SERVICES

Elysian Estates may arrange additional services or supplies on behalf of the Guest in relation to the Booking at the Property. The Guest indemnifies Elysian Estates with respect of these services and shall be responsible for any additional fees or costs incurred in respect of any such arrangements.

Any additional services must be paid for in full at the time of booking such services. The administrative costs of additional work will be communicated to the Guest before we carry out any work. Such additional services or facilities arranged by us will not be confirmed until we have received all payments in full. Unless confirmed in writing and paid for in full prior to the Booking then Elysian Estates reserve the right not to arrange or provide alternatives to those services. All payments for additional services or supplies are non-refundable.

Any agreement of such services is between the Guest and the Supplier and the Guest and will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Supplier. Whilst Elysian Estates will do its upmost to ensure any services and supplies are of the highest quality and delivered on time, Elysian Estates will not be held accountable for the availability, suitability, quality or standard of any such services or supplies and shall not be responsible for any loss resulting from them; nor are Elysian Estates under any obligation to take any steps to provide alternate arrangements or facilities or assist in resolving any dispute or disagreement between the Supplier and the Guest.

Payment and terms for any service will be notified separately and confirmed in writing to the Guest by either the Supplier or Elysian Estates. Unless confirmed in writing neither the Supplier nor Elysian Estates are bound to provide or arrange any services, supplies, facilities or equipment.

It is the responsibility of the Guest to satisfy themselves as to the suitability and nature of the services that they are obtaining from the Supplier. As any such arrangement is made between the Guest and Supplier, Elysian Estates can accept no responsibility for any failure of service, any cancellation or the unsuitability of service arranged. Elysian Estates is not responsible for the content of any promotional or advertising material published by or on behalf of any Supplier.

It is the responsibility of the Guest to make any cancellations of services or facilities arranged by the Guest with any Supplier. Elysian Estates accepts no responsibility in relation to any such arrangements.

Elysian Estates shall have no liability in contract, tort or otherwise for death, injury, or loss to Guests, their Visitors, Owners or Suppliers except to the extent that such liability is imposed by law and cannot be excluded or restricted.

g) BOOKING CONFIRMATION

Your confirmation letter will be sent either by post or electronic mail and it is the responsibility of the Guest to check their post or email to ensure this has been received. Elysian Estates will not be held responsible for any delays or problems that arise from circumstances beyond our control. It is the responsibility of the Guest to check that all details on the booking confirmation are correct and any special requests or additional services booked have been noted on the booking confirmation. The Guest must inform Elysian Estates in writing within 10 working days of the date the confirmation letter was sent of any errors or omissions.

h) CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENTS

Alterations to the Booking may only be made at the absolute discretion of Elysian Estates and are subject to the Owner agreeing to the change. Changes of dates are only possible more than 4 weeks prior to the arrival date of the Booking. Any alterations are subject to an administration fee of £20 + VAT. The Guest may also be required to pay for any additional costs due in respect of the alteration. The Guest must notify Elysian Estates in writing to the address on the booking confirmation of any alterations he or she wishes to make to the Booking, and any alterations will only be confirmed when Elysian Estates have received any payments or fees due and issued written confirmation of the changes.

In the event of a cancellation requested by the Guest, any monies already paid will be forfeit to Elysian Estates. The Cancellation Date will be taken to mean the date when Elysian Estates confirms, in writing, your request to cancel. It is the Guest’s responsibility to ensure that Elysian Estates have received the Guest’s cancellation letter. We cannot be held responsible for any delays or issues outside of our control. Please contact us if you believe that your letter has not been received.

The following charges are payable depending on the Cancellation Date:

Three months or more before arrival – 30% of accommodation cost

Within three months of the arrival date – 100% of accommodation cost

The cancellation charges are due regardless of whether the Guest has already paid that amount to Elysian Estates.

Elysian Estates shall not be held liable for any failure of performance due to any unusual and unforeseeable events beyond their control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, threat of war, civil strife, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, epidemics, inclement weather conditions, terrorist activity, governmental action, strikes, lock-out, industrial action or protest, shortage in goods or materials, floods or any other event beyond the control of Elysian Estates including acts undertaken by the Owner. This may however affect your Booking and we strongly advise that you take insurance against any such eventualities.

Though it is unlikely Elysian Estates will have to make significant changes to confirmed arrangements, it does happen occasionally. If this occurs, Elysian Estates will attempt to contact you immediately by telephone or email to advise the Guest at the earliest possible date. We will also issue a letter to you detailing the changes in writing within 3 working days of us being made aware of the change. It is at Elysian Estates discretion as to what constitutes a significant change.

If for any reason Elysian Estates are unable to provide the Guest with the Property the Guest has booked, Elysian Estates will endeavour to offer an alternative property to the Guest of a similar type and location to the original Property. In the event that further costs are payable in respect of the alternative then the Guest shall pay any additional monies due at the time of the alteration. If the alternative costs less than the original Property, a refund will be issued to the Guest for the difference in cost.

If the Guest does not wish to accept the changes or alternatives offered, Elysian Estates will endeavour to obtain a refund from the Owner of any monies already paid. Elysian Estates will make every effort to obtain the refund on behalf of the Guest, however we do recommend relevant comprehensive cancellation insurance is purchased by all Guests to cover any costs should your chosen property or dates become unavailable. No compensation, expenses or any type of costs will be payable to the Guest by Elysian Estates.

It is the responsibility of the Guest to notify Elysian Estates whether or not you wish to accept any change or alternative offered. If you do not confirm to us that you wish to accept a change or alternative within 30 days of us making an alternative offer to you we are entitled to assume you wish to cancel your Booking.

Elysian Estates reserves the right to cancel the booking and refund the amount paid to us for the property. Elysian Estates will not be liable for any further obligations or claims by the client.

Neither the Owner nor Elysian Estates will be held responsible for changes to the locale of the Property, or the use or development of any neighbouring or adjoining land or land outside the ownership or control of the Owner.

We cannot guarantee that a property will be free of allergens including but not limited to pet hair, nuts or feathers and neither Elysian Estates, the Owner or any of their employees can accept liability for any issues arising as a result of allergens being present.

Registered guide dogs are only allowed if we are notified at the time of booking and have confirmed acceptance in the confirmation letter.

We regret that not all properties are suitable for guests with limited mobility, and that it may not be possible to access all facilities or areas within a property. We will endeavour to provide as much information as we can to assist you in deciding whether a property is suitable for all members in your party, however it is the Guest’s decision and responsibility to ensure the property is suitable for all members of their group. Elysian Estates will not be held accountable for any accessibility issues.

j) GUEST RESPONSIBILITIES

Elysian Estates will not accept bookings from anyone under the age of 18 unless they will be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the Property for the entire duration of the booking.

The Guest confirms that he or she has been authorised to make a Booking on behalf of the other members of his or her Group and accepts that it is the sole responsibility of the Guest making the booking to make any payments in full and on time regardless of whether or not monies have been collected from all members of their group.

The Guest confirms that the maximum occupancy of the Property will not be exceeded at any time during the Booking without prior written agreement from Elysian Estates. There will be no additional Visitors to the Property during the Booking without prior written agreement from Elysian Estates. The Guest will provide names and dates of birth of any and all members of their party who will be staying at the Property during the Booking prior to their arrival. Should the Owner or representative of the Owner find that additional persons to the named lists of guests are staying in the property, but are still within the maximum occupancy of the Property, this will be subject to an additional charge of £100 per person per night, which will be the responsibility of the Guest to pay and may be deductable from the Damage Deposit.

The Guest must ensure that the Property is securely locked (all doors and windows closed and secured) when not occupied during the Booking. The Guest must not disclose any security codes or give the keys to the Property to anyone other than members of the booked party. The keys remain the property of the Owner and under no circumstances may be copied.

k) BEHAVIOUR AND CARE OF THE PROPERTY

The Guest agrees to take full responsibility for all members of his or her party and ensure that proper care is taken of the Property both internally and externally, including any contents, equipment and appliances. The Guest must keep the Property clean and tidy throughout the Booking and return the Property in the same cleanliness, condition and repair in which they found it on their arrival. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a deduction being made from the Damage Deposit to cover any additional cleaning or repair costs. The Guest must notify Elysian Estates and the Owner or their Representative immediately should there be any breakages or damage to the Property or its contents. An emergency contact telephone number will be provided in case of any issues. The Guest must notify Elysian Estates or the Owner or their representative immediately if they notice any defects or breakages at the start of their Booking; otherwise the Guest accepts that they have received the Property in good repair and a clean and tidy condition.

The Guest is responsible for the correct and decent behaviour of his/her party. Any criminal or illegal activity, unreasonable or abusive behaviour, excessive noise that adversely affects the rights of the Owner or Elysian Estates to continue letting the Property, or police or authority involvement in complaints warrants the immediate termination of this agreement and all persons will be immediately evicted from the property. Should the Guest or any member of the Guest’s party not behave in such a manner, the Owner, Elysian Estates or any appointed agent of these may at his/her absolute discretion either cancel the booking in which case all monies paid will be forfeited as if cancelled by the Guest or ask the Guest and the Guest’s party to vacate the property with immediate effect. In the most unlikely event of this occurring, the Guest will forfeit all and any rights of access to or use of the property by the Guest or the Guest’s party. These will terminate immediately with no right to recompense of any kind or liability on the Owner or Elysian Estates for any costs incurred by the Guest, including but not exclusive to alternative accommodation, travel or legal costs of any kind. In addition the Guest will be liable for all and any legal costs incurred by the Owner in relation to any such action.

p) INSURANCE

Elysian Estates strongly advise that the Guest arranges comprehensive travel insurance for the Booking at the time of booking in order that the Guest is fully covered should the Guest need for example to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. It is further recommended that the guest take out personal liability and accidental damage insurance for all members of the party to cover against any damage to the property, and protect against loss in the event of a deduction from the damage deposit.

q) COMPLAINTS

Should there be any cause for complaint during the occupation of the Property, Elysian Estates must be notified during the booking. Any complaints must also be submitted in writing to the address on the confirmation letter. If you fail to do one or both of these things you may affect your entitlement to claim compensation or a refund.

Please be aware that (although rare) facilities and appliances can malfunction, break down, and services be interrupted. Although Elysian Estates will use best endeavours to arrange for any such problems to be addressed as quickly as possible, Elysian Estates accepts no responsibility for the breakdown of the supply of water, electricity, heating, facilities or appliances, etc. Emergency contact details will be supplied to the Guest in the event of such a problem, and the Guest must notify the emergency contact and Elysian Estates immediately so we can act to resolve any problem promptly.

In the unlikely event that the Guest feels concerns have not been addressed reasonably, this must be put in writing to Elysian Estates within one week of the end of the Guest’s Booking.

If the Guest chooses to leave the Property before the end of the Booking due to any complaint they may have, they will not be entitled to any alternative accommodation, refunds or compensation unless this is agreed in writing by Elysian Estates PRIOR to the Guest leaving the Property.
