Quality Self Catering Cottages throughout Northumbria & the Borders 59 Booking Conditions PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. WHEN YOU MAKE A RESERVATION REQUEST WITH US (WHETHER BY POST, TELEPHONE OR ONLINE), THESE CONDITIONS ARE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY YOU. Definitions Agent means Northumbria Byways Limited (Company Number 5235173) whose registered office is at Maryholme, Hallbankgate, Brampton, Cumbria CA8 2NE. Booking means the reservation of the Property by the Holidaymaker. Booking Conditions means these terms and conditions. Deposit means: (a) One third of the Rental Charge (b) Full payment if the holiday is due to commence within six weeks. Holidaymaker means the person or persons making the Booking. Initial Payment means the payment of the Deposit. Additional Fees means any fees payable by the Holidaymaker other than the Rental Charge, including a non refundable booking fee of £20 including VAT per booking, credit card handling fees, heating supplements, pet charges and linen charges. Property means the accommodation for which a Booking is made. Property Owner means the owner of the Property. Rental Charge means the total rental charge payable in respect of the Booking. Reservation Request means a request to make a Booking in the form of a completed holiday booking form whether submitted via post, online or a telephone booking. Short Break means a holiday for a duration of less than seven nights. (minimum three nights). Role of Northumbria Byways Limited As we act as agent when taking your booking, we accept no legal responsibility for any contract you enter into for the accommodation or for the acts or failure to act of any owner or other person connected with your booking. Once the Initial Payment has been made and a Holiday Confirmation has been issued by the Agent, a legally binding contract shall exist between the Holidaymaker and the Property Owner pursuant to which the Property Owner will make the Property available for the period set out in the Booking. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be a party to such contract. The Contract shall be subject to these Booking Conditions and any other special conditions made known to the Holidaymaker at the time of the Booking. The Agent accepts no liability for any defects or unavailability of the Property or any other problems with the holiday. The Holidaymaker’s right of action (if any) shall be against the Property Owner and not the Agent. We cannot be held responsible for the breakdown of mechanical equipment, such as pumps, boilers, hot tubs, nor for the failure of public utilities such as water, gas or electricity. Neither we nor the owner can be held responsible for the noise or disturbance which comes from beyond the boundaries of the property or which is beyond the owner’s control. If we know about a problem before you arrive, we will contact you to let you know. Bookings and Payment When an online booking form is completed by the Holidaymaker a deposit will be taken, or if the holiday is within 6 weeks the full amount will be taken online. The payment is made through a secure payment website and the Agent has no access to any card payment information. If in the unlikely event the property is not available the agent will inform the Holidaymaker immediately, offer an alternative date or property or a full refund of any payment made. Following receipt of a telephone booking or an online short break enquiry the Agent shall check the availability of the Property. If the Property is available for the Holiday, the Agent shall reserve the Property for an initial period of seven days. The Holidaymaker must make the Initial Payment to the Agent within these seven days. Unless payment is received within these seven days, the reservation will be cancelled. Upon receipt of the Initial Payment, the Agent will issue a Holiday Confirmation to complete the Booking. The Balance of the Rental Charge must be paid by the Holidaymaker to the Agent no later than six weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday (the Agent shall endeavour to inform the Holidaymaker of the due date at the time of the Booking). The prices stated on the Agent’s website and in the Agent’s brochure are cash prices in pounds sterling. The Agent incurs charges from credit card companies when the Holidaymaker pays by credit card, and therefore a 2% charge will be made for each credit card transaction. Online payments made by Pay Pal will incur a 3.75% charge. Any charges raised against the Agent by its bank for handling dishonoured cheques, bank transfers or any other payments, must be reimbursed by the Holidaymaker to the Agent within seven days of the Agent’s request to do so. All payments must be made in pounds sterling. The Agent reserves the right to correct any error in advertised and/or confirmed prices. Booking Details Immediately upon receipt of the Holiday Confirmation from the Agent, the Holidaymaker should check the details and notify the Agent of any mistakes/ errors made by the Agent as soon as possible and in any event within seven days; no changes can be made to the Booking after this time. The Agent reserves the right to charge a holiday booking amendment fee of £30.00 + VAT to administer/correct any error by the Holidaymaker. Breakage Deposits Some of our properties require a breakage deposit and this is noted against the property description. For properties sleeping 8 plus, a breakage deposit will be required for Christmas and New Year bookings, this rule may also apply for parties aged under 21. The deposit must be paid 1 week prior to your holiday commencement (please note all payments made will be cashed), or paid 2 days before your holiday commencement by credit card and will be refunded within 1 week of your return provided there is no damage. Any cost of repair or replacement items will be accounted for and deducted from your deposit prior to being refunded. 60 Cancellation by the Holidaymaker The Holidaymaker should notify the Agent immediately in writing if he/ she wishes to cancel the Booking. The cancellation only takes effect when the Agent has received written confirmation from the Holidaymaker. Your cancellation will be acknowledged by the Agent in writing. You are still liable for any outstanding balance on the due date. The Agent will endeavour to re-let your holiday. If the Agent is successful in re-letting the holiday for the entire period originally booked it shall refund all monies paid (whether deposit or otherwise) less an administration fee of £30.00 + VAT. If the Agent is only successful in re-letting a proportion of the period originally booked it shall refund that proportion of monies paid (whether deposit or otherwise) less an administration fee of £30.00 + VAT. If the Agent is unsuccessful in re-letting the holiday then all monies paid shall be forfeited and any outstanding balances will still be payable on the due date. The Agent strongly recommends the Holidaymaker has some form of insurance. Once a booking has been confirmed by the Agent it can only be changed to another date, providing the property is available and the Owner is agreeable to the change. An administration fee of £30.00 + VAT will be payable. The holiday can only be changed to another property by treating the original booking as a cancellation. Other Cancellations In the event of the Agent being unable to arrange the holiday accommodation requested by the Holidaymaker, or if the Property becomes unavailable for whatever reason, the Agent will endeavour to arrange alternative accommodation for the Holidaymaker of an equivalent type and standard in a similar location. If the alternative is less expensive than the original the Agent will refund the difference, if more expensive, the Agent will ask the Holidaymaker to pay the difference. If the Holidaymaker has paid any money in respect of a Property and that Property subsequently becomes unavailable and no suitable alternative can be offered the Agent shall refund all monies paid by the Holidaymaker. Save as set out above, the Agent shall have no liability for the cancellation or alteration of a Booking. Brochure Accuracy To the best of the Agent’s knowledge the details provided by the Owners relating for their Property/ies described in the Agent’s brochure and website were correct at the time of printing. Property descriptions and prices may be subject to change. Upon becoming aware of any material inaccuracies or price changes in any published description of the Property or material changes to the Property, the Agent shall endeavour to correct them in future publications and inform the Holidaymaker. The Agent reserves the right to amend any inaccuracies including description, services and pricing. If the alterations prove unacceptable to the Holidaymaker then alternative accommodation will be arranged or a full refund of monies paid will be given. The Agent is not liable for any costs associated with alternative accommodation, which must be paid by the Holidaymaker.
