1.The Contract for short-term holiday accommodation will be between Dalby Forest Lodges (referred to as "us" or "we") and the person making the booking and all members of the holiday party (referred to as "you" or "your") in the following booking conditions. The Contract will be governed by UK law. The contract of hire for the accommodation is not effective until we have processed the deposit and issued written confirmation of the booking. The contract will be subject to these booking conditions, and must be complied with. Notice can be served for breach of this agreement, and may be given during the Holiday Period by delivery into the property and shall be deemed to have been received upon the expiration of 12 hours after service. The party leader must be at least 21 years of age at the time of booking. Assignment of this contract is possible, subject to our written agreement, and will be subsequently considered as a separate contract.
2. PAYMENT Bookings will be confirmed on receipt of the signed booking form and a booking deposit of 30% (or £100, if greater) of the holiday cost. Written confirmation will be sent. The balance of the holiday cost will be due for payment 8 weeks prior to the holiday commencement date and we reserve the right to cancel a holiday where payment has not been received 6 weeks before the commencement date. If the booking is made within 8 weeks of the holiday start date the full holiday cost will be required. Once confirmation of booking has been issued by us, you are responsible for the full holiday cost.
3. CANCELLATION Cancellations must be immediately notified to us by phone and confirmed in writing by recorded delivery. The booking deposit is your booking fee and is non-refundable. If your cancellation falls within 8 weeks of your arrival date the full holiday cost will be payable unless we are able to re-book the same period at the same price.
4. CANCELLATION INSURANCE Cancellation Insurance is not compulsory but we strongly recommend such insurance to protect against the cancellation penalty. Cover should include death , injury, illness , redundancy, cancellation of armed forces leave, summons for jury service or as a court witness, or your home becoming uninhabitable. We will have included a leaflet with optional cover with your deposit receipt.
5. CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE OWNER (FORCE MAJEURE) If for any reason we have to cancel your booking in advance due to circumstances beyond our control that directly affect the site (for example, but not an exhaustive list; fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, epidemic, destruction/damage to the property) ("force majeure") you will be refunded the full amount of the booking. If we have to terminate your holiday early for the above reasons you will be refunded part of the booking fee based on the time remaining of the booking. No additional compensation, expenses or costs will be payable. Under circumstances which do not render the accommodation uninhabitable, but do alter to a lesser extent the nature of the accommodation (such as, but not an exhaustive list, loss of electricity, or gas, or unavailability of car parking) we may offer, at our sole discretion, a partial refund of an element of the rental or a reduction on any future stay with us.
6.PERIOD OF HIRE You should not arrive before 3-30pm on the commencement date, and leave by 10am on the day of departure. Failure to do so will result in you being charged a further day's rental.
