1. Parties - the agreement is made between the person whose name and address appear on the booking form (the hirer) and Edward Fila and Gaynor Fila (the landlords) of Primrose Cottage, Oxhill, Warwick, CV35 0QN and is for a short-term holiday rental.

2. Provisional Bookings - a provisional booking may be made by telephone, but must be confirmed in writing or the by the completion of a booking form, which should be sent to landlords, together with the deposit, within 5 working days of the provisional booking. The landlords will be free to accept other bookings for the same rental period at the expiration of the 5 days.

3. Payment - £100 deposit per week of rental is payable on booking. The balance of the payment is payable 6 weeks prior to arrival. Non-payment of the balance of the rental sum shall be construed as a cancellation of the contract by the hirer. Bookings made less than 6 weeks prior to the date of arrival must be paid in full at the time of booking. Cheques will only be accepted if presented more than two weeks prior to arrival and must be in sterling (UK pounds). If payment is made less than two weeks prior to arrival then it must be by bankers draft.

4. Cancellation - any cancellation by the hirer for whatever reason must be in writing. If cancellation occurs more than 6 weeks prior to the intended date of arrival then only the deposit will be forfeited. If cancellation takes place less than 6 weeks prior to the intended date of arrival then the sum which will be paid will be the deposit plus 1/6th of the total balance of the rental due for each week beyond the 6 week period. Thus, if cancellation takes place two weeks prior to the intended date of arrival, 2/3rds of the total rental shall be due. In the event, however, that the cottage is able to be let for the whole or part of the period of the booking then such sum as is received by the landlords for that period shall be deducted from the balance of the rental due. The deposit will, however, remain forfeit to cover administration costs. The landlords therefore recommend that the hirer takes out their own cancellation insurance.

4. Period of hire - unless otherwise agreed, the rental shall commence at 3pm on the day of arrival and will terminate at 9.00 am on the day of departure.

5. Number of occupants - there must be no more than 8 people occupying the property. The landlords reserve the right to refuse entry to the property to the hirer and other members of the hirer's party if this condition is not met.

6. Liability - the landlords accept no responsibility for any loss of or damage to personal belongings or vehicles during the hirer's stay at the property nor does it accept any liabilty in respect of any injuries sustained by the hirer or any member of the hirer's party.

7. Damage to the Property - the hirer shall ensure that reasonable care is taken of the property and its furniture, fixtures and fittings, and shall ensure that they are left in the same state and condition as they were in at the start of the rental period. The hirer shall reimburse the landlord for the cost of cleaning, repairing or replacing anything which is damaged during the rental period.

8. Pets - normally, pets will not be permitted. However, in certain circumstances, the landlords may by prior arrangement agree to a maximum of one dog. If a dog is allowed, it must be kept under control at all times, must not annoy or disturb any occupants of the neighbouring properties and must not be allowed in the bedrooms of the property. Any mess made by the dog must be cleaned away by the hirer prior to departure; if not, the hirer will be responsible for the costs of any cleaning which is required.

13. Warranties - the landlords have taken care to ensure that the written description of the property and its facilities is accurate. They cannot be held responsible, however, for any verbal statements made on their behalf by agents or other third parties.
