BOOKING CONDITIONS:
Contractual Terms

1. By means of your registration, you are offering to enter into a binding travel agreement with the Italian owner, i.e. your Italian Contracting partner (hereinafter 'Contracting Partner') via the agent. Following acceptance by the contracting partner, the agreement shall come into effect on the day that the confirmation invoice is issued.

2. Both the deposit and the balance shall be paid by you on the date indicated to SARDAFIT - the company authorised to handle payments. Before keys can be handed over, you must provide proof that the full cost has been settled. Such proof is deemed provided where payment through SARDAFIT is documented.

3. The information provided at www.sardafit.co.uk is binding for this agreement. However, the Contracting Partner expressly reserves the right to make changes to this information if they have good, well-founded reason for doing so and such changes could not be foreseen at the outset. The Contracting Partner shall inform you of any such changes at the time of booking. Other agreements must be in writing in order to become effective
You assume sole liability for all risks relating to the outward and return journey.
You are aware that your accommodation is located in a residential area typical to the country in question, not in a protected tourist area and you therefore expressly accept that any shortfall in the accommodation which results from such a location does not substantiate any claims for damages if these are typical to the area or could not be foreseen.This includes: the keeping of animals, construction works and agricultural activities.

4. The Contracting Partner assumes liability for the condition of the holiday property.
He must undertake to remedy any defects which arise as quickly as possible.
Defects in the accommodation only substantiate a claim for a price reduction if you can demonstrate that such defects already existed on the day of arrival and that not all reasonable steps have been taken to remedy the defect promptly.

5. You shall undertake to treat the holiday accommodation with due care and respect and to leave it in a cleanly swept, tidy condition at the agreed check out time on the day of departure so as to allow thorough cleaning to take place before the next guests arrive. The oven and all kitchen utensils are to be cleaned by the customer.
You must undertake to report any defects in the holiday property at the earliest possible time to the Centro Servizi in Budoni, to have documented in writing any defects which may substantiate claims for damages and to cooperate to a reasonable degree to limit any damage.
If you breach this obligation or if the Centro Servizi is prevented, either in part or in full, from remedying a defect as a result of your culpable behaviour, then you forfeit any potential right to legal redress. Should the necessity arise it is deemed acceptable that:
you switch to other accommodation of comparable size at no extra cost or with cost differences being reimbursed if it is not deemed reasonable to stay in the accommodation booked.

6. The Contracting Partner's liability for damages, excluding personal injury, is limited to three times the price of the holiday, as long as the damage has not been incurred as a result of intentional or grossly negligent behaviour or the Contracting Partner is solely responsible for damage suffered by you due to the fault of a service provider.
All claims against the other party expire if they have not been lodged with the agent for forwarding to the Contracting Partner within one month of the contractual end of the holiday.

7. Both sides have the right to re-calculate a price which has been wrongly calculated. Special rates can only be granted upon application before the travel agreement has been entered into. Special rates cannot be granted once the agreement has been entered into.

8. You are to deposit a security deposit of €200 Euros in cash with the Centro Servizi in Budoni, or £150 GBP per cheque with the booking agent as described in the booking information. If claims are asserted against you then the deposit may be forwarded to the Contracting Partner for settlement purposes.

9. If you wish to cancel the agreement, the following scale of cancellation charges shall apply:
Up to 90 days before date of departure: 10%, up to 45 days: 33%, up to 30 days: 66%, less than 30 days: 95% of the total cost excluding any additional costs calculated.
For cancellation to be deemed effective, notification of such must be received in writing by your Contracting Partner via the agent. Cancellation charges do not apply if you provide a successor to whom the cancelled agreement is assigned. Furthermore, you also have the option of duly proving that particular damage did not happen at all or that it happened to a lesser degree than claimed.
Changes can be made to a booking regarding the date or the accommodation as long as the change does not leave the Contracting Partner at a disadvantage. An administration charge of £40 is made for cancellations and amendments. Amendments which shorten a booking are to be treated as a cancellation.

10. Should individual provisions of this agreement become invalid, the validity of the other provisions remains unaffected.
