Terms & Conditions


1. Definitions

In these conditions and agreement:
‘the Company' means ABC Leisure Group Limited and Subsidiaries who act as agents for Property Owners.
‘the Hirer' means the person or persons named on the booking confirmation. Where there is more than one Hirer they shall be individually responsible and liable under this agreement.
‘the Property Owner' means the person (corporate or otherwise) who owns the Property that is hired to the Hirer under the terms of these Conditions.
‘the Conditions' means the conditions set out in this form.

‘the end date' means the date when the booking ends as set out in the booking confirmation.
‘the period of hire' means the period between the start date and the end date.


2. Booking Agreement

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Company is acting for the Property Owner and is authorised to enter into contracts with Hirers on behalf of Property Owners and to collect payment from Hirers and to otherwise manage the hiring of Property to Hirers. A booking is a legally binding contract between the Hirer and the property Owner. Submission of a completed booking form is an offer by the Hirer and the booking agreement is made only if and when the Company gives a written hire confirmation. Telephone bookings do not create legal agreements and any offer by the company to hold a reservation is not legally binding until the written hire confirmation is issued. The entire contract between the Property Owner and the Hirer is contained in these Conditions and the booking form and to the extent permitted by law no representations, terms, warranty or condition expressed or implied shall be deemed to be or have been made or agreed or imported by reference to any other writing, advertisement or conversation. No agent, servant or representative of the Company has any right to alter or vary or waive any of these conditions. Nor is any such person authorised to undertake any liability whatsoever on behalf of the Property Owner. These conditions can only be varied with the written permission signed by a Director of the Company. The Hirer acknowledges that no statement or representation which may have been made by or on behalf of the Company or the Property Owner induced the Hirer to enter into the contract and that any such statements or representations do not form part of the contract. Any liability of the Company or the Property Owner and any remedy of the Hirer in respect of any such statement or representation is excluded save in so far as liability in respect of any particular statement or representation may not be excluded by law. In accepting a booking, the Company's and the Property Owner's responsibility does not extend beyond the provision of the Property. Bookings, including optional extras, are taken subject to availability on the start date.


3. Group Bookings, Age Limits and Unsuitable Hirers

The Hirer must be aged 18 years or over. Where a Property is occupied by a group the Hirer warrants that at all times a responsible person aged more than 18 years will be in charge of the group. The Company or the Property Owner may at their discretion cancel any booking made in contravention of this condition. The Company or the Property Owner may at their discretion cancel the booking and refuse to hand over the Property to any person or group who in its opinion is not suitable to take charge on the grounds of suspected influence of alcohol or drugs. The Company or the Property Owner may repossess the Property at any time if in the opinion of the Company or the Property Owner the Hirer is unsuitable for the reasons given above or if the Hirer is not behaving responsibly or if the Property or any persons are at risk. In this event as the holiday period is deemed to have started the Hirer shall remain liable to pay the hire price and no refund shall be due.


4. Cancellations and Changes

The agreement including the payment terms is a legally binding contract and may not be cancelled or amended except as provided in the Conditions. Should the Hirer wish to cancel or amend the booking they must advise the Company immediately by telephone and at the same time send written confirmation. The Company reserves the right to levy an administration charge of £50 for any alteration to a booking made by the hirer after it has issued a booking confirmation. It is suggested that hirers take out Cancellation Protection, or other similar protection, which ensures that monies are refundable in the unfortunate event of them being prevented from taking their holiday. In the event of the circumstances not being covered by Cancellation Protection the company will endeavour to rebook the Property for which an administration charge of 15% of the hire price will be levied. In the event of the deposits or balances being eligible for refund the Company will charge a fee depending on the date on which the Cancellation Notice is received.

More than 56 days before the Start Date 40% of the hire price.

43-56 days 50% of the hire price. 29-42 days 70% of the hire price.

8-28 days 85% of the hire price and 7 days or less 100% of the hire price


5. Hire Period, Collection and Return of Property

The hire period is as shown in the booking confirmation. The Company will endeavour to have the Property ready for the Hirer by the time stated on the booking confirmation on the start date. The hirer must notify the Company of any likely delay in arrival as soon as possible by email or telephone. In the event that the Property is not available because of circumstances beyond the Company's or Property Owner's control the Company may substitute a Property of similar accommodation, but if no such Property is available the Company shall refund any payments made but shall not otherwise be liable and the contract shall be discharged. Substitution of a Property of similar accommodation will create a new contract between the Hirer and the Property Owner of the new Property subject to all the terms set out in these Conditions and the booking form. The Property shall be returned to the Company's and be vacated in a clean and tidy condition no later than the time stated on the booking confirmation on the end date. Breach of this condition will incur a minimum additional cleaning charge of £50 per hour or part thereof. In addition, the Hirer will be liable for any extra costs and/or damages incurred by the Company and or the Property Owner as a result of the Property not being available on time for the next Hirer.

The Hirer shall reimburse the Company on demand for any expenses incurred in the conversion of foreign currencies, bank charges, special clearance, re-presenting cheques, processing payments or otherwise in obtaining cleared sterling funds of the amount due on the due date. Payment is not made until cash or cleared funds have been received by the Company. The booking deposit must be sent with the booking application and unless otherwise stated is 25% of the hire price. The balance of the price is due not less than 8 weeks before the hire start date. Time of payment shall be of the essence of the contract. For bookings made within 8 weeks before the hire start date payment in full must accompany the booking form without prejudice to any other rights of the Company it may charge interest (both before and after any judgement) at the rate of 3% over the Company's bankers base lending rate on any monies due from the due payment date until the date of payment and interest shall accrue from day to day.
