The hiring contract will be between you the Hirer and THE PROPERTY for which the booking is made and shall be deemed to be made subject to these Conditions of Hire and governed by English Law.

If the booking is made within six weeks of the holiday commencement date, the full accommodation rental will be required at the time of booking. Deposits can be paid by BACS automated bank payments.
The Balance of the Hire will be due for payment six weeks before the holiday commencement date. On receipt of the Balance Payment, advice of key collection arrangements and directions to the property will be sent to the Hirer approximately 1 weeks before the commencement of the rental. THE PROPERTY reserves the right to cancel a holiday where full payment has not been received less than 28 days before the holiday commencement date.
Payment may only be made by automated bank payment (BACS).
THE PROPERTY is not registered for UK VAT.
Once THE PROPERTY has issued a Confirmation of Booking, the Hirer is responsible for the total published price of the property and extras as shown on the confirmation. Amendments to bookings, where applicable, may be subject to an administration fee of up to £50.00. THE PROPERTY reserves the right to adjust prices quoted in correspondence, on our website or on details to properties, due to errors or omissions.
Any payment returns will be made using BACS.

Children must be supervised at all times when using the additional amenities. However, THE PROPERTY does not seek to exclude or limit legal liability for the negligence of their servants or agents.
The additional amenities including barbeques, hot-tubs, fire baskets etc, must be used in accordance with the instructions provided and where relevant, within the specified times.
Weather temperatures and conditions will affect the availability of the wood-fired hot-tub. It is not available for use during Sub-Zero temperatures must not not be used during thunderstorms, high winds, or heavy rain due to safety risks (slippery surfaces, lid damage) and potential contamination.
In no circumstances may more than the maximum number of persons as stated in the brochure or website occupy a property. THE PROPERTY reserves the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. Only those listed on the booking may occupy the premises. The person who completes the booking, i.e. the lead name, certifies that he or she is authorised to agree to the Booking Conditions on behalf of all members of the party, including any changes. The lead name must be over 18 years and a member of the party occupying the property. The lead name agrees to take responsibility for all members of the party. THE PROPERTY reserves the right to refuse or revoke any bookings from parties that may in their opinion (and at their sole discretion) be unsuitable for the property concerned.
For the whole of the period included within your booking, you will be responsible for the property and will be expected to take all reasonable care of it. The property details aim to give accurate descriptions of the properties. Should there be any specific health or mobility difficulties which may affect a party member, this must be pointed out at the initial reservation stage so that the suitability of the property can be assessed. The property and all equipment and utensils must be left clean and tidy at the end of the hire period. At no time should a pet be left alone unsupervised at the property.
Hirers must not arrive before the specified start time provided in the booking confirmation (4.00pm The Shambles, Hook Norton Barn and Molls Yard, 5.00pm Coleman's' Elm) at the start of their rental period and the property must be vacated by 10.00am on the day of departure
All damages and breakages are the legal responsibility of you, the Hirer, and should be notified to THE PROPERTY before the end of your holiday. The cost of damage or breakages shall be payable on demand. Normally, minor accidental damage or breakages will not be charged but in circumstances where extra cleaning is required or there has been breakage or damage beyond what is reasonably to be expected, THE PROPERTY
reserve the right to charge you for any additional costs incurred as a consequence and may, at their discretion, refuse further bookings.
Should you find on arrival any damaged or non-working items, they must be reported to THE OWNER immediately, so that matters can be rectified. THE OWNER has the right to enter the property (without prior notice if this is not practical or possible) if special circumstances or emergencies arise (for example if urgent repairs need to be carried out). THE PROPERTY reserves the right to request payment of a security deposit should it be deemed necessary. THE PROPERTY reserves the right to repossess the Holiday Home at any time, where you or any member of your party has caused damage. THE PROPERTY shall not be liable to make a refund of any remaining portion of the hire terms paid.
If you are dissatisfied with the service you receive, THE PROPERTY must be notified immediately, so that investigation can be carried out and any necessary action taken.
THE PROPERTY takes every care to ensure the accuracy of the property descriptions. All information in our website is given in good faith and is believed to be correct at the time of going to press, but THE PROPERTY cannot be held responsible for changes beyond their control, which may become known after publication of this literature. Further, THE PROPERTY cannot accept liability for happenings outside their reasonable control, such as breakdown of domestic appliances, plumbing, wiring, WiFi, flood, fire, temporary invasion of pests, damage resulting from acts of God, etc.
In the event of any dispute between parties it shall be governed by the jurisdiction of the English courts only and any actions shall be heard in the court for the area in which the property is located unless otherwise agreed between the parties. However, it is hereby agreed and declared that all reasonable means will be used to resolve the dispute arising between you and THE PROPERTY without immediate recourse to litigation. If not mutually resolved, it is further agreed that all reasonable endeavours will be used to resolve the dispute by a formally recognised alternative dispute resolution process i.e. mediation, arbitration or expert determination. In default of such agreement, the process and appointment of the independent professional will be determined by the President for the time being of the Law Society or the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. In either case, all parties will contribute equally to the expense of such process, and, in default these expenses shall be capable of being recovered in any subsequent litigation.
The Hiring Contract is made on the understanding that the property and its facilities as published will be available for the dates stated. In the unlikely event that a property is not available through events arising outside the control of THE PROPERTY (such as fire, flood, subsidence or government restrictions), then THE PROPERTY may be forced to cancel the booking. The Hirer will be advised as early as possible, and THE PROPERTY will rebook you on suitable mutually agreed new date. The Hirer will not as a result have any further claims against THE PROPERTY. Please note that reservation requests taken via our website are not confirmed bookings until we have contacted you and accepted a deposit payment.
These Booking Conditions supersede all previous versions.
