INSECTS & PESTS

Insects and pests are inevitably present in the Mediterranean climate. Within reason, this is normal and the owner cannot take action to totally eradicate the problem but only control it. Only when, in the owner's reasonable opinion, pests in the living accommodation become a serious nuisance will further action be taken. Please contact the owner or his representative as soon as possible if you experience a problem with insects or pests and they will act accordingly.  Failure to report a problem immediately cannot be deemed an excuse by the client to claim compensation.

Pets of any kind are NOT allowed in the villa. However, purpose-built dog kennels are available for use subject to a surcharge. Request must be submitted at time of booking. A pet, or evidence of a pet, found on premises will cause immediate eviction, and the client's rent and deposit will be forfeited to cover the costs of professional cleaning the carpets and furnishings, etc.

LIABILITY

No liability is accepted by the owner for death, personal injury, accidents, loss or damage to persons, or personal effects however caused as a result of the use of the villa or pool.


The owner cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by ‘force Majeure. In these Terms and Conditions, ‘force Majeure means any event which we could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include but are not limited to, war, the threat of war, civil commotion or strife, hostilities, strikes or other industrial disputes, natural disasters, fire, acts of God, terrorist activities, quarantine, epidemics, weather conditions, government action or other events outside our control.

BUILDING WORK

In the event of building works/maintenance taking place by local authorities, private developers, or neighbors, it is important to note that the owner is not responsible for such work, is unable to stop such work from taking place, or is unable to control the level of noise, neither can the owner be responsible for any building works that take place during a holiday.

COMPLAINTS

In the unlikely event that clients have a complaint about the villa or its contents whilst on holiday, it must be reported immediately to the owner who will take reasonable steps to resolve the matter. The owner shall have no liability for any complaint submitted after the completion of the hire period.  Subjective opinions are not considered as a complaint, for example complaining that the beds are not comfortable. This may be one
person's opinion but not the opinion of someone else.  If a client chooses to leave a rental over a subjective issue he must take responsibility for his decision as no refund will be considered in this situation.


No refund or rate adjustment shall be made for unforeseen mechanical failures such as the supply of electricity, water, internet, pool filtration systems, air conditioning, television or satellite service, appliances, etc. It is the client's obligation to report any problems or damage to their villa immediately.
