Condo Rental Disclaimer Booking Conditions, Terms and General Disclaimer An agreement between the renter (the customer) and Scott Jones (S.J.) When you sign the booking form you are agreeing to the following Conditions & Terms: 1. BOOKING: A 20% deposit of the property rental must be paid at time of booking, unless otherwise stated. No contract exists until we have actually received the deposit and a signed application form which must be fully completed and which specifies the rental period and all persons staying in the house. We must also confirm your booking via fax, email, in writing, or on the telephone. Remember a security deposit is also required, either in the form of a check or a credit card number. 2. NUMBER OF PERSONS: Only the persons listed on the booking form may use the property. The number of people must not exceed the number of sleeping places (6), except in the case of infants in arms for whom you are bringing or requesting a portable crib. Pets are not permitted without prior approval. Should the owner or his manager find any violation to this clause, you could be asked to vacate the property without compensation. 3. CANCELLATION BY YOU: If you cancel all or any part of your booking, the following conditions exist: a. 4 weeks or more prior to departure you forfeit the deposit b. 4 weeks or less prior to departure you forfeit the entire amount paid. c. Change of date required due to acts of war or aggression is totally up to the owner and is on a space available basis if indeed allowed. Every possible consideration will be given to the request but in no way is it guaranteed. There may indeed be a price increase if a different season or year is selected. All cancellations must be received by us in writing. We consider travel insurance an excellent investment when renting a property, and we recommend you obtain it. *All payments are non-refundable*. 4. ALTERATIONS AND AMENDMENTS BY YOU: All possible consideration will be given to requests for alterations to your reservation. Date changes will be on a space available basis and there indeed may be a price difference based on season or year selected. *There is a $50 change fee each time a change is made*. If you delete a property or a time span or vacate a property early or arrival a day or so later than indicated, the" cancellation by you clause" will come into effect and there are no refunds on the unused portion. 5. ALTERATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS BY US: Though it is very unlikely we would need to make any changes to a confirmed booking, we would advise you at the very earliest moment. Should such an event occur we would work with you to secure an alternate accommodation. If the price were greater than you paid, you would need to pay the price difference, if less than you originally paid, we would of course refund the difference. If you do not wish to be transferred, we would of course refund your entire payment. 6. SECURITY DEPOSITS: The deposit covers the cost of any damage or breakage during your stay. This means to the condo, its contents, inside and outside, excluding normal wear. Your deposit, less any applicable claims, such as damage, will be returned to you within 2 weeks of your departure from the condo. Judgment as to the condition of the property is left to the sole discretion of the owner There are two options for the Security Deposits. a) Either the renter must leave their credit card information with S.J. along with signed permission to charge the card for any damage to the condo which is not the result of normal wear and tear. The application form has a place for the renter's initials to authorize this. OR b) The renter must leave a $500 dollar check, written to Scott Jones, with the office in Maine. This check is due in the office at the same time as final payment; 4 weeks before start of rental period In the case of no damages, this check is returned at the end of the rental periods. In the case of damages, appropriate restitution will be made either from the credit card, or the check. Judgment as to the condition of the property is left to the sole discretion of the owner. 7. UTILITIES: All utilities (water, electricity, heat, gas, cable) are included in the rental price. There is no phone in the condo. As we outline in our pre-departure information, we suggest renting a cell phone for your stay in Chile. The nearest public phone is in the full service Marbella Hotel, located a half mile distant. 8. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMES: You must clearly state your arrival and departure flights on the application form. As well we need to know if you are renting a car for your stay or have / or desire alternative arrangements. 9. TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly urge every client to consider travel cancellation/interruption insurance. We can provide you with a reference. Travel Insurance Services 1-800-937-1387. 10. CLEANING: The condo will be cleaned prior to your arrival and it is expected that you will leave the house in a picked up and tidy condition. Additional cleaning / maid service during the week is available at reasonable prices. As this is private homes, please do not expect hotel type services. Fresh towels and bedding are provided. Additional cleaning charges may be assessed against the security deposit if the home is not left in easonable condition in the opinion of the owner or property manager. 11. LIABILITY: Scott Jones, his companies, employees and associates, shall not be liable to the Client or third parties for any accident, damage, loss, injury expense or inconvenience, which may be suffered, incurred, arise out of or in any way connected with the property. If the property, which you have booked, becomes unavailable or unusable for some reason prior to the date of the booking, Scott Jones will help you reschedule or reimburse you for any money paid, as outlined in point 5 of these terms and conditions.
