- The
property known as 'Villa Cicada' (hereby after referred
to as 'the Property') is offered for rental subject to written
confirmation from Peter Cookson (hereby after referred to
as 'the Owner') being received by the renter (hereby after
referred to as 'the Client').
- To
reserve the 'Property', the 'Client' should complete and
sign the booking form and return
it together with payment of an initial deposit (10% of the
total rental cost) with the cheque made out to 'Kerkyra
Villas'. Following receipt of the booking
form and deposit the 'Owner' will send a confirmation
document as formal acceptance of the booking.
- The
balance of the rent, together with payment for any extras
required, is payable not less than 8 weeks before the start
of the rental period. Reservations made within 8 weeks of
the start of the rental period require full payment at the
time of booking.
- A security
deposit of £150.00 is required at the time of balance
payment. The sum does not limit the 'Client's' liability
to the 'Owner'. The 'Owner' will account to the 'Client'
for the security deposit in the event of withholding all
or part of this sum and refund the balance or totality within
two weeks of the return of the 'Client', after the 'Owner'
or 'Owner's' Agent has confirmed that the 'Property' and
its contents were left in a satisfactory condition.

to clauses 2 & 3 above, in the event of cancellation,
charges will apply as follows:

'Clients'
are strongly advised to take out adequate travel insurance,
which has comprehensive and suitable cancellation cover
in the event of unforeseen personal circumstances, personal
belongings cover, third party and public liability cover
and a minimum £2,000,000 per person medical insurance
including emergency repatriation.
- The
'Client' shall not be entitled to remain in occupation of
the 'Property' after the dates given in the booking form
unless this has been agreed in advance and in writing with
the 'Owner'. The 'Property' can be occupied at 1400 hours
on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 1000 hours
on the day of departure.
- The
maximum number of people to reside in the 'Property' and
make use of its facilities shall not exceed 6 unless the
'Owner' has given prior written permission. The 'Owner'
reserves the right to cancel the booking and evict the 'Clients'
with full loss of rental costs if more then 6 people are
staying in the 'Property'. Camping and caravanning is expressly
forbidden on the 'Property'. "Sleepovers" by one
child for the odd night are acceptable.
- The
'Client' agrees to be a considerate tenant and take good
care of the 'Property' and to leave it in a clean and tidy
condition at the end of the rental period. The 'Owner' reserves
the right to make a retention from the security deposit
to cover any additional cleaning costs if the 'Client' leaves
the 'Property' in an unacceptable condition. A retention
will also be made to cover any damage to the 'Property',
its contents or its grounds. Particular attention must be
paid to the use of the toilets and what can and cannot be
flushed down them as failure to observe this code can result
in expensive plumber's bills at the cost to the 'Client'.
- The
'Client' agrees not to act in any way, which would cause
disturbance to anyone resident in neighbouring properties.
- The
'Client' shall report to the 'Owner', or his agent, without
delay, any defects in the 'Property' or breakdown in the
equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the 'Property'
or pool or garden so that arrangements for repair and/or
replacement can be made as soon as possible.
- The
'Owner' shall not be liable to the 'Client' for any temporary
defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the
'Property', nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery
or appliance in the 'Property', swimming pool or garden,
nor any loss, damage or injury, which is the result of adverse
weather conditions, riot, war, strikes, acts of God or other
matters beyond the day-to-day control of the 'Owner'. Nor
any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to, or suffered
by, the 'Client' if the 'Property' is destroyed or substantially
damaged before the start of the rental period. In that event,
the 'Owner' shall, within 7 days of notification to the
'Client', refund all sums previously paid in respect of
the rental period. Such refund will not cover the costs
of any flights, car or boat hire booked. The 'Owner' shall
not be responsible for any consequential losses of the 'Client'.
- Under
no circumstances shall the 'Owner's' liability to the 'Client'
exceed the amount paid to the 'Owner' by the 'Client' for
the rental period.
