1. Cancellation of booking
In the event that the booking is cancelled by the Occupant for any reason after payment of the Booking Deposit, neither the Booking Deposit nor any other amount subsequently paid is refundable unless the Property is subsequently re-let to another occupant for the same period and at the same rental. In the event that the Property is re- let for a shorter period and/or at a lesser rental the Owners may retain the difference which constitutes their loss and may refund the balance. We strongly recommend that all occupants take out their own travel insurance.

Apart from a reasonable number of day visitors on any particular day during the Occupation Period, the number of people occupying the Property must not exceed the number stipulated in the Booking Details.

A Security Deposit may be required for group bookings.

In the event that the costs of repairs or other losses exceed the amount of the Security Deposit, the Occupants will indemnify the Owners for any such losses and will pay same on demand. Where the Occupants have provided their credit card details, by their entry into this agreement the Occupants authorise the Owners to obtain payment for such additional losses (including amounts payable pursuant to cl 7, 8 and/or 9) by way of the Occupants credit card using those details as supplied.

In the event that the owners are required to attend the Property or contact the occupant during the Occupation Period as a consequence of noise complaints or complaints as to the Occupants behaviour by neighbouring property owners, the sum of $100.00 will be deducted from the Security Deposit. A second or subsequent breach may lead to the immediate termination of this agreement and the loss of the Security Deposit in full.
