Please read the terms and conditions before completing the booking form.

  1. Chalet La Lune, Essert-Romand, 74110 France, ('the property') is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Mr and Mrs Makower ('the owners') to the person named on the booking form ('the client').
  2. To reserve the property the client should complete and sign the booking form, return it together with payment of the non-refundable deposit, (25% of total cost). On receipt of this, the owners will forward a confirmation of the booking.
  3. The balance of the total cost is payable 8 weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received, the owners reserve the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within 8 weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking. The client is recommended to arrange comprehensive travel insurance (including cancellation cover).
  4. A security deposit of £250 for each booking is required against breakages and damage to the property and its contents ('Contents' refers to fixtures, fittings, furnishings, furniture and effects as per the inventory). This deposit shall not limit the client's liability to the owners. The accidental damage of one or two glasses is deemed as 'normal wear and tear' but the client is asked to inform the owners so replacements can be made.
  5. Cleaning of the chalet at the end of the week is included in the rental cost. If the chalet is left in an unacceptably untidy condition requiring additional cleaning, the cost of this shall be deducted from the security deposit.
  6. The rental period shall commence at 4pm on the first day and finish at 10am on the last day. It is important to adhere to these times as it is necessary to check the Chalet for return of the client's security deposit before further clients arrive.
  7. The maximum number of people to reside in the property should not exceed 10 people in winter and 5 in summer.
  8. Price includes all electricity (central heating) and logs for the fire.
  9. The client agrees to be a considerate tenant, to take good care of the property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition with all parts of the property in a good and tenantable state of repair at the end of the rental period. The owners reserve the right to make retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning if the client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition including the cost of laundering any curtains, upholstery or bedding where necessary. The client also agrees not to act in any way to cause disturbance to those resident in neighbouring properties.
  10. The client shall report to the owners without delay any defects in the property or breakdown in the equipment or appliances in the property or garden. Arrangements for repair/replacement will be made as soon as possible and the client will permit access by the owner or their agent for this purpose.
  11. The owners shall not be liable to the client for any temporary defect or stoppage of public services to the property, nor in respect of any equipment or appliances in the property or garden. Nor for any loss, damage, or injury, which is the result of any adverse weather conditions, riot, war, strikes or other matters beyond the control of the owners. The owners are also not liable for any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the client if the property shall be destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the rental period. In such an event the owners shall within seven days of notification to the client, refund to the client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.
  12. Under no circumstances shall the owner's liability to the client exceed the amount paid to the client for the rental period.
  13. The client will not remove any of the contents from the property or make any addition or alteration to the property.
  14. The owner may in exceptional circumstances be required to cancel the booking in which case a full refund of all monies paid will be made to the client.
  15. The owner shall have no liability for personal injury or death. No liability is accepted by the owner in respect of damage to or loss of personal property of the client. The client is responsible for insuring his own contents and personal effects kept at the property.
  16. The owner is entitled to refuse to hand over the property to the client or repossess the property if the owner reasonably believes damage has been caused or is likely to be caused to the property by the client. These circumstances will be treated as a cancellation by the client, no refund of monies paid will be made and the owner accepts no liability towards further costs incurred by the client.
  17. No pets are allowed in the property.
  18. No smoking is allowed in the property.
  19. The access road to the neighbouring chalet must be kept clear at all times.
