Disclaimer
These terms are published as an example on a demonstration site. They bind no one: Villa Lakou is a fictional villa.
Purpose
These terms govern the seasonal furnished rental of Villa Lakou, in Le Gosier (97190), registered under number 97113 0000 0000.
The whole property is let, for a maximum of 8 guests, as temporary accommodation.
Booking
Any request made through this site is non-binding. A booking becomes firm once the signed agreement is returned and the deposit paid, within seven days of the agreement being sent.
After that period, the dates are released for sale again.
Rates and payment
Rates are for the whole villa, cleaning included. Tourist tax is added and collected on site.
A deposit of 30% is paid on booking, the balance 30 days before arrival. Minimum stay: 5 nights.
Security deposit
A security deposit of €700 is provided no later than the day of arrival. It is not cashed if no damage is found and is released within seven days of departure.
Cancellation
More than 45 days before arrival: the deposit is refunded in full.
Between 45 and 30 days: the deposit is retained by the owner.
Less than 30 days before arrival, or no-show: the full price remains payable. The owner will try to re-let and refunds any nights actually re-let.
If the owner cancels, all sums paid are refunded within fifteen days.
Pool and safety
The pool is unsupervised. Children must remain under constant adult supervision at all times. A removable fence is provided on request and must be put back after each swim.
The tenant acknowledges having been informed of these rules and undertakes to observe them throughout the stay.
