BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

In these terms and conditions, ‘you’ and ‘your’ means all people named on the booking and in the holiday party, be that via direct with the owners or via third parties (such as Airbnb, HomeAway or Booking.com).  ‘We’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ means Adam Powell and Claire Powell, owners of The Apartment, Bath.

 

When you book The Apartment, Bath you are entering directly into a contract with the owners of the property.

 

1 Making your booking

All bookings depend on the property being available.  The person making the booking must be at least 18 years old at the time of booking.  By making the booking, you confirm that you are authorised to make the booking and that all other members of the party agree that the booking will be governed by these Terms and Conditions. The person making the booking is responsible for making all payments due to us.

 

For bookings made and no payment received, we will hold a booking for 48 hours to allow time for payment to be made.  Once we have received the payment due, we will issue a Booking Confirmation email as soon as reasonably possible.  If you book online, we will acknowledge by email that we have received your booking and then send you separately the Booking Confirmation email, once payment has been received.

 

This Booking Confirmation email is our acceptance of your booking and the point at which a binding contract with the property owner will begin. If no payment is received within 48 hours then we assume the booking to be cancelled. We have the right to refuse any booking before we send a booking confirmation email. If we do this, we will tell you by email and promptly refund any money you have paid to us. In this case we will have not have any legal responsibility to you.

 

The Booking Confirmation email will show your booking details and the amount you still owe (if applicable) for the booking.  As soon as you receive this email, you must check the details carefully. If anything is not correct, you should tell us immediately.  It is your responsibility to check your emails regularly and to let us know about any change to your email address.

Once we have received a final balance payment we will send a separate email detailing arrival instructions.

 

2 Payment

When booking directly, at the time of booking a 20% non-refundable deposit is due.  This 20% is calculated from total cost, including any holiday extras selected plus £250 security deposit (see point 13 Security Deposit).   On occasions, we will hold a booking for 48 hours to allow time for a payment to be made.  This is to be paid by bank transfer or credit/debit card.  We only accept payment in Pounds Sterling.  We must then receive the balance of money owed no less than 4 weeks (28 days) before the start of your booking.  If you book less than 4 weeks (28 days) before the start of your holiday, we must receive full payment at the time of booking.

 

If you do not pay any final balance payment due in relation to your booking by the appropriate date we are entitled to assume that you want to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all deposits paid.

3 Pricing

We may increase or reduce the prices of unsold products or correct mistakes in pricing at any time before we confirm your booking. We will confirm the price of your booking when you make it. As changes and mistakes can happen, you must check all details at the time of booking.

All prices quoted or otherwise given to you include all charges.  All prices are for the property and are not on a per person basis.  Occasionally prices are rounded to the nearest pound sterling. Our prices are inclusive of bed linen, towels and energy (gas and electricity).  Wi-fi is provided for reasonable use, unreasonable usage charges may apply and we reserve the right to invoice for any usage we feel unreasonable.

 

4 Brochure and website details

We aim to make sure that the information provided is presented accurately on our website, third party listing sites and in other promotional literature or material we produce and provide. There may occasionally be small differences between the actual property and its description. This is usually because we are always aiming to improve services and facilities. Occasionally, problems mean that some facilities or services are not available or may be restricted. If this happens, we will tell you as soon as reasonably practical after we become aware of the situation. We cannot accept responsibility for any changes or closures to local services or attractions mentioned on our website or advertised elsewhere. We make reasonable efforts to make sure that information we give you about the property and its facilities or services, is accurate and complete on the date given. We cannot accept responsibility for any inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information about any property or its facilities and services, unless this was caused by our negligence.

 

5 Changes to your booking

a) Changes by you
If you want to change any detail of your confirmed booking (eg change dates), we will do our best to make the changes.  We must receive this request by email from the person who made the booking.  We can only make changes to your confirmed booking if the new dates are available.  We cannot guarantee this request.

There is a £25 administration fee for any changes made to bookings.   If we are unable to make the change requested, the original booking will continue to be valid unless cancelled in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

 

b) Changes by us
If in the unfortunate event we have to make changes to your booking (eg serious repair work needed at the property you booked) we will try to find a suitable alternative booking at another property.  If this is not possible, we will refund all sums paid by you for this booking.  This will be our only obligation or liability to you in such circumstances.

 

6 Cancellations

a) Cancellations by you
If you have to, or want to cancel your booking, you must email us at stay@apartmentbath.com as soon as possible.

If you do any of these things, we can refuse to hand over the property to you, or can repossess it. If we do this, we will treat this as you cancelling the booking.
