    2. Once the Deposit has been paid and a Confirmation of Booking issued by the Agent, a legally binding contract shall exist between the Holidaymaker and the Property Owner. As part of this contract the Property Owner will make the Property available for the period set out in the Booking. The Agent shall not be a party to such contract.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
  3. BOOKINGS AND PAYMENTS
    1. The Agent will endeavour to keep all availability calendars up to date and is reliant on the Owners to advise the same.
      If, following a reservation request or an online booking, the Agent has checked the availability of the Property and it is no longer available in this short time, the Agent will advise the Holidaymaker.
      In the case of an online booking having been submitted and any payment taken, the Agent will advise the Holidaymaker within 24 hours and attempt to find a similar Property. Any payment made will be returned if the Holiday maker does not accept the offer.
    2. On making a reservation, the Holidaymaker is required to pay the Deposit to the Agent, unless advised otherwise. If payment is not received within 7 days, the reservation will be canceled.
    3. The Agent will issue a Confirmation of Booking. However, the contract is not legally binding until the Deposit is paid.
    4. 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 (7) days. No changes can be guaranteed to the Booking after this time. There may be a charge, if it is not a result of the Agents error.
    5. The Full Balance (if any) must be paid by the Holidaymaker to the Agent no later than six (6) weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday.

The Holidaymaker shall have no claim against the Agent or the Property Owner for compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
    7. The prices published by the Agent are cash prices in pounds sterling or Euros. The Agent incurs charges from credit card companies when the Holidaymaker pays by credit card, and therefore a charge will be made for each credit card transaction, depending on value??. 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 (7) days of the Agent’s request to do so.

    11. To minimise the financial risks associated with going on holiday it is strongly recommended that the Holidaymaker arranges travel insurance that matches their needs on booking.
  4. CANCELLATION BY THE HOLIDAYMAKER
    1. The Holidaymaker should notify the Agent immediately in writing if he/she wishes to cancel the Booking. The cancellation will only take effect when the Agent has received written confirmation from the Holidaymaker.

  5. NON -AVAILABILITY OF PROPERTY
    1.
