By submitting your Booking Request you are confirming that you have read and accepted the terms and conditions of this Rental Agreement.

1.  The property situated at Paraíso Rural ‘Rural Paradise’, Camino de La Estrella s/n, Órgiva 18400, Granada, Spain is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Mr & Mrs Blair (the Owner), to the renter (the Client).

2.  To reserve the property, the Client should pay an initial deposit that is 20% of the rent due.  This deposit is non-refundable and should be paid immediately on confirmation of availability from the Owner.

3.  The balance of the rent is payable not less than 8 weeks before the start of the Rental Period.  If payment is not received by the due date the Owner reserves the right to give notice by e-mail that the reservation is cancelled.  If the booking is made less than 8 weeks before the start of the Rental Period, the Client will pay the whole amount of the rent immediately.

4.  In the event of cancellation by the Client 6 to 8 weeks before the Rental Period 50% of the rent shall be refunded.  In the event of cancellation by the Client 4 to 6 weeks before the Rental Period 25% of the rent shall be refunded.  In the case of a cancellation being made less than 4 weeks before the Rental Period no refund shall be made.

5.  If the Client has to cancel the booking at any stage and if the Owner can find another renter for that Rental Period, the Owner will return any money received, minus the non-refundable deposit, bank charges and commissions.

6.  A Security Deposit of €300 is required in case of, for example, damage to the property or its contents.  This is payable either at the time of paying the 80% balance of rent due or in Euros cash on arrival at the property.  The sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the Client's liability to the Owner.  The Owner will return the Security Deposit at the end of the Rental Period, unless there is a deduction to be made.  In this case the deduction will be subtracted and any remaining monies, if any, will be returned to the Client.

7.  The Rental Period commences at 5 pm on the first day and ends at 11 am on the last day.

8.  Whilst the property is very secure the Client leaves his vehicle on the property at his own risk, and the Owner takes no responsibility for any vehicle or the contents of any vehicle.  The Owner is also not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the Client.

9.  The Client shall allow the Owner or his representative access to the property for purposes of repair and inspection.  The Owner shall exercise this right of access in a reasonable manner.

10.  No tents, caravans or camping cars can be accepted on the property, unless by prior agreement with the Owner.  If the Client wishes to invite any person, over and above the number listed on the booking form, on to the property, he must obtain written permission from the Owner who reserves the right to make an appropriate charge.

11.  The Client may in no circumstance re-let or sublet the property, even free of charge.

12.  The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant, to take good care of the property and leave at the end of the Rental Period leaving the property in the condition the Client found it to be in on arrival.  Smoking is allowed on terraces only.  Pets are not allowed.  Although the cost of the after-stay clean is included in the rent, the Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the Security Deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition.

13.  The Client’s group should ensure they have arranged adequate personal insurance cover for all members of their party to cover all personal risks and liabilities, including health care and cancellation.  This is an explicit condition of the Rental Agreement.

14.  The Owner makes available two Honesty Bars.  The Client and their party are invited to partake of the items provided and are expected to pay in full at the end of the Rental Period for all items taken.  The Client takes full responsibility for ensuring that all items used by their party are paid for in full.  The Owner reserves the right to deduct the cost for any items taken but not paid for from the Security Deposit 

15.  The Owner shall not be liable to the Client:

• for any loss, damage or injury to any member of the Client's party resulting from actions taken contrary to the health and safety requirements laid down by the Owner.  In particular but not exclusively, this relates to the Client's use of the roof terrace (in the case of Mulhacén and Veleta), the first floor terraces (in the case of Mulhacén, Veleta and Lújar) and the pool area with particular reference to the pool itself and the turtle pond.
• for any temporary stoppage in the supply of public services to the property;
• for any loss, damage or injury which may result from adverse weather conditions or any other matters outside the control of the Owner;
• for any loss or damage or inconvenience suffered by the Client if the property is destroyed or substantially damaged before the start of the Rental Period.  In any such event the Owner shall immediately refund to the Client all sums paid.  However, the Owner will not be liable to refund the Client for any fees that may have been paid to any third party in connection with the Client's holiday (including, without limitation, fees for travel, entertainment, activities or insurance).

16.  The Client agrees to take full responsibility for all members of their party and to their adherence with health and safety requirements, Owner privacy requirements and Honesty Bar usage.  These requirements will be detailed in the Information Pack.

17.  Under no circumstances shall the Owner's liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owner for the Rental Period.

18.  This contract shall be governed by Spanish law in every particular, including formation and interpretation, and shall be deemed to have been made in Spain.
