1.No Smoking: The house is strictly no smoking. If there is any evidence of smoking within the House we reserve the right to charge an additional charge of £100.00 for deep cleaning.
2. Reservation Deposit: A deposit of 50%( subject to a minimum charge of £100.00) of the quoted rental is payable upon booking. Deposit may be used against any damages and is returnable immediately after the let.
3. Reservations and payment of Rentals: Telephone reservations will be held as provisional reservations for 3 days and MUST be confirmed by payment of deposit immediately. All cheques must be made payable to: Aviemore Luxury Accommodation. Should a material change be made to any reservation within 56 days of arrival a fee of £25.00 will be levied.
4. Payment: After a booking has been received and accepted with deposit paid, the client will be required to pay the full cost of the booking 8 weeks prior to the date of arrival.
5. Cancellations: If any booking is cancelled the full deposit is NOT refundable. In the event of the cancellation being within 8 weeks of arrival, the full balance of payment is NOT refundable.
6. Cancellation and Curtailment Insurance: It is strongly recommended that insurance be taken out for all bookings. Reservations are considered confirmed only on receipt of the Reservation deposit and subject to the acceptance of the reservation. The client becomes liable for the full balance of the rental no later than eight weeks prior to arrival at the house. Sending a deposit will be deemed to be an acceptance of all the Terms and Conditions herein. Should a reservation be made within eight weeks of arrival, full payment must be made at the time of the initial reservation. Failure to pay the balance of rent by the due date will be treated, as cancellation and no refund will be made. Further information, about holiday insurance, can be found in Banks, Post Offices, Building Societies and from the providers of your home and car insurance.
7. Holiday protection premium: Having to cancel your holiday for whatever reason is hard enough but the loss of deposit or total rental can come as an additional setback. To minimise this unfortunate occurrence you should take out Holiday Insurance. When you reserve your holiday property you are entering into a legally binding contact. If you are unable to take your holiday property, then you will be liable to pay a Cancellation Charge and this could amount to the total cost of your holiday.
8. Insurance: As well as Cancellation and Curtailment Insurance clients are strongly recommended to take out holiday insurance to cover loss or damage to personal effects. Under no circumstances can the owners of the house or agent be held liable for any loss or damage to clients' property.
9. VAT: Currently, there is no VAT on rental properties of this type. We reserve the right to alter this at any time.
10. Period of Let: This will normally be on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday but weekend and short periods may be available. Rentals begin at 4.00pm on the day of arrival and end at 10.00am on the day of departure. Any delayed departure may incur additional charges at our discretion.
11. Inventory: An inventory of all the contents is kept in the house. If there are any "accidents" during the stay please make a note on the forms provided. You will be required to pay for replacements. The house will be cleaned before you arrive and it is expected that the private ownership of the house will be respected and that it will be left in decent order for the next guests.

This confers on the client the right to occupy the property for the period agreed for holiday purposes only, in terms of Schedule 4 Section of the aforementioned Act.
