Rental Agreement

Rental Agreement 

Bookings are subject to the following terms and conditions as agreed to at the time of booking.

1.    A contract (“the Agreement” or “the Contract“) between you (“the Client“,” You“, or “Your“) and the owners (“the Owners“, “We“, “Our” or “Us“) will come into existence when We receive payment and accept your booking (“the Booking“) of Casa Isa Elena, Loma Del Puerco 241, Chiclana De La Frontera, 11130 Cadiz (“the Property“) by issuing a confirmation of Booking for the holiday dates shown in the confirmation of Booking. The contract binds You & all the members of Your party (the “Party“). It is Your responsibility to ensure that all members of Your Party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms & conditions of Booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the Booking.

2.    A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the holiday price is payable at the time of booking, however the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client’s liability to the Owners. Bookings made less than six weeks before Your arrival date must be accompanied by the full amount of the holiday charge and the €350 refundable damage deposit (if requested).

3.    The balance must be paid so as to arrive no later than six weeks before the commencement of Your holiday. If the balance is not received by the due date then Your holiday will be treated as a cancellation and the Client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent.

4.    All cancellations must be immediately notified by telephone and then in writing. If You cancel Your holiday more than 6 weeks before it is due to start then Your deposit will be forfeited. If You cancel less than 6 weeks prior to the holiday then the full balance remains due and is not refundable.

5.    Insurance and registration.

5.1.  You agree to ensure that each member of Your Party is covered by comprehensive travel insurance (including cancellation, flight delays, loss and damage to baggage and other property) and health insurance (including evacuation and repatriation coverage). You accept responsibility for any loss that You may incur due to Your cancellation.

5.2.  Andalucía requires rental property owners to register all guests over 16 years of age with the local police. The Owners use a downloadable smartphone app to make this process as smooth and secure as possible.  We shall notify You of the details of the smartphone app prior to your arrival. You agree to ensure that each member of Your Party has registered on this app before arriving at the property. We reserve the right to terminate a holiday without compensation where You or a member of Your Party refuses to provide mandatory registration details.

6.    Your Booking will not be cancelled by the Owners except in exceptional circumstances beyond Our control. Notification will be given of the cancellation as soon as possible and We will promptly refund all payments made for Your holiday. Our liability for cancellation will be limited to payments made to us.

7.    The number of persons using the accommodation at any time must not exceed 10 (ten) with a maximum of 8 (eight) adults and only those people listed by name on the Booking form can occupy the Property. We reserve the right to terminate the Booking without notice and without refund in case of a breach of this condition.

8.    Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under twenty five years of age.

9.    The Owners reserve the right to refuse a Booking without giving any reason.

10. The Owners or their representatives reserve the right to enter the Property at any time to undertake essential maintenance or for inspection purposes.

This allows the accommodation to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for incoming guests.

12. Pets or smoking anywhere on the premises will result in immediate termination of occupancy and forfeiture of all payments. This must be strictly adhered to and any damage or extra cleaning caused by pets or smoking will be at the expense of the Client.

13. Damage deposit – A damage deposit of €350 is payable at time of booking and will be returned on within 7 days of the end of Your holiday less the cost of damage/breakages. For the avoidance of doubt, the sum reserved for the damage deposit shall not limit the Client’s liability to the Owners in the event of damage to the property.

14. Damage to the Property – In making a Booking You accept responsibility for any theft, breakage or damage caused by You or any member of Your Party and agree to indemnify us in full for any loss that We may incur as a result. Please treat the facilities & accommodation with due care so that other guests may continue to enjoy them. In the event that You notice damage in Your accommodation please let us know immediately so that We can take the appropriate action. If there have been any breakages during Your stay, We would be grateful if You could replace them or advise us before You leave. The accommodation will be inspected at the end of the holiday & You may be charged for any loss or damage found.

15. Please remind all members of Your Party to lock the doors and close the windows when they leave the Property unoccupied.

16. The Owners reserve the right to make a charge to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.
