NEXT Holidays
Registered in Greece – Registered Office: Messonghi, Corfu Greece
BOOKING
CONDITIONS
1 The
Parties
In these booking conditions, “the Company”
means NEXT Holidays of
Messonghi,
Corfu 49 080 Greece to which address all notices required to be given to
the Company
shall be sent, and “the Customer” means the person in whose name the
booking is
made at the address set out in the relevant booking request form.
2
Agreement
These booking conditions apply to the offer by
the Company and acceptance by the Customer of accommodation within holiday
property owned. The Company reserves the right to refuse any booking request
without assigning any reason therefore.
3
Procedure
Upon receipt by the Company of a signed booking
request form, the Company shall reserve the property requested for a period of
seven days. At the same time the Company will forward a copy of the House
Rules which relate to the requested property,
and the
Customer shall sign and return such copy to the Company. The Company will
confirm the
booking if it receives within that period a sum equal to 30% of the rental
charge (50%
if the rental value is more than 15,000 Euros) (“the Initial Deposit”). If the
Initial
Deposit is not received within such period, the Company will not guarantee
availability
of the property requested. The balance of the rental charge shall be paid to
the Company
no less than 50 days (or such longer period as the owner of the villa rented
by the
customer shall specify) prior to the commencement of the booking, unless the
Customer
shall by then have given notice of cancellation. Any failure to pay the
balance
due on the
due date or failure to return a signed copy of the House Rules by such date
may, at the
Company’s discretion, be considered as a notice of cancellation given in
accordance
with condition 7 below. If these payment conditions are not fulfilled the
Company
reserves the right to refuse or cancel the booking and/or to forfeit the total
charge paid
by the Customer and the Customer shall have no claim against the Company
for
compensation or reimbursement whatsoever.
4
Confirmation
Upon the Company receiving payment of the Initial Deposit within the period
allowed for in Condition 4 or entire rental charge, as the case may be, the
Company will confirm in writing the availability and price of the requested
property and thereupon a binding contract shall exist between the Customer and
the Company subject to these booking conditions.
5
Disagreement
The Customer shall check the details of the
Company’s booking confirmation and notify the Company of any discrepancy as
soon as possible.
6
Cancellation by the Company
If the Company cancels any booking at least 50 days prior to the commencement
of the rental, the Customer shall be entitled to a full refund of all amounts
paid, but shall have no other claim whatsoever against the Company or the
Proprietor. If the Company cancels any booking within 50 days of the
commencement of the rental or is unable, after it has given a booking
confirmation, to provide the accommodation requested by the Customer, or the
Proprietor or the Company shall be in material default of its obligations at
the commencement of or during the rental period, the Company shall use all
reasonable endeavours to arrange alternative accommodation of an equivalent
type and standard in a similar location. Acceptance by the Customer of such
accommodation shall be
in full and
final satisfaction of any and all claims by the Customer against all parties
in respect of the period of occupation of such alternative accommodation. If
the Customer shall not accept such alternative, the Customer shall so advise
the Company in writing, and in any
event the
Customer shall not be entitled to any refund, reimbursement or claim against
any party in
respect of any period during which the alternative accommodation was
available to
him.
7
Cancellations by the Customer
The Customer shall notify the Company immediately and in writing if he wishes
to cancel the booking and no such notification shall be effective unless and
until actually received in writing by the Company. In cases of cancellations
received more than 50 days before the first day of the booked period the
Initial Deposit will be forfeit. In cases of cancellations received with 50 or
fewer days notice, the total charge shall be forfeit, in whole or in part, in
accordance with the following table:
Number of
days between receipt of cancellation and first day of booked period Percentage
forfeit
50 to 30 days
60%
29 to 15 days
80%
14 days to
end of booked period (including during the period itself) 100%
The above
represents the company’s standard cancellation policy. In a limited number of
cases a villa
may have a different cancellation policy in which case the villa’s policy will
apply and
customers will be notified of it in writing .
The amounts
forfeit hereunder are a genuine pre-estimate of the damage likely to be
sustained by
the Company as a result of cancellation. If as a result of the above any
moneys are
due for payment or reimbursement as the case may be, the debtor party shall
pay the
creditor the full amount due within 7 days of the date of the notification of
cancellation.
8
Insurance
The Customer’s obligation to pay (if any) or forfeit any sum following his
cancellation
shall stand notwithstanding the existence of any insurance cover, it being the
obligation of
the Customer to make any appropriate claim in respect of cancellation fees
or any other
benefit. The Customer is strongly advised to give full consideration to the
terms of his
travel insurance.
9
No Liability Whilst to the best of the Company’s knowledge the
details relating to any
property
described in any booking form were correct when published, the Company
reserves the
right to make alterations at any time and shall endeavor to inform the
Customer of
any such alterations. No right of cancellation shall arise in this event.
10
Payments
All rates in the Company’s catalogue and website are expressed in Euro. All
sums paid to the Company should be made via bank transfer to the Euro bank
account
nominated by
the Company in the booking request form.
If the
Company shall accept payment by any method other than bank
transfer to
its Euro bank account, it may add to the sum due such amount as will pay all
costs of the
transaction in question such that the Company shall receive no less than the
amount of the
transaction expressed in Euro.
11
Security Deposit
Upon arrival at the property booked by the Customer, the Customer shall pay
the
full amount
of the deposit specified in the booking confirmation and in the House Rules
(“the
Security Deposit”) to the Proprietor who shall be entitled to hold the same as
security for
the performance by the Customer of his obligations under these conditions
and the House
Rules. The Security Deposit shall be paid in cash in Euros or in any other
manner and/or
currency permitted by the relevant House Rules. If payment of
the Security
Deposit is made and accepted in any other currency, the amount of the
deposit shall
be calculated as not less than the relevant amount in Euros adopting any
conversion
rate published in any newspaper selected by the Company on the date of
payment.
Where payments on account of costs or floats are required to be paid to the
Proprietor,
these shall be paid in addition to the Security Deposit and may not be offset
against it.
The Security Deposit will be returned in full at check-out, subject to
paragraphs 14
and 15 below and the provisions of the relevant House Rules.
