1. CONTRACT OF HIRE Seastay Limited act only as agents for Owners, and are not principals and so the Contract of Hire is between the Hirer and the Owner of the property for which the booking is made and shall be deemed to be made subject to these terms and conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, Seastay is not a party to the Contract of Hire. To the extent that Seastay carries out any functions in relation to a Property, it does so as an agent on behalf of the Owner. The Booking is subject to these terms and conditions, which are governed by English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The Contract of Hire is effective only from the date and time that Seastay dispatch to the Hirer a written “Confirmation of Booking.” The Confirmation of Booking will show your booking details, the amount you have paid and the amount you still owe for the booking. As soon as you receive your Confirmation of Booking, you must check the details carefully. If anything is not correct, you should tell Seastay immediately. The Owner/Seastay, acting reasonably, reserves the right to amend arrival (‘check in’) and departure (‘check out’) times so as to ensure the Property is ready for occupation, for example in response to a Force Majeure Event. So long as the Owner/Seastay is acting reasonably, the Hirer will not be entitled to a refund in relation to a change in arrival or departure times. For the avoidance of doubt, if Seastay pays the deposit and/or full balance into its bank account, it will not mean Seastay have accepted a booking unless Seastay have issued the Hirer with a written Confirmation of Booking. Please do not make any other travel arrangements until Seastay have issued you with a written Confirmation of Booking. If you book with us online, we will acknowledge that we have received your booking and then send a separate written Confirmation of Booking by e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided. If you book by post or phone, we will send your written Confirmation of Booking to you by post unless you tell us at the time of booking that you would prefer it to be provided by e-mail. It is your responsibility to check your e-mails regularly and to let us know about any change to your e-mail address. The contract is for the hire of the Property for holiday purposes only. Seastay does not accept Bookings from Hirers under 18 years of age and Seastay reserves the right to cancel a Booking made by anyone who is (or who Seastay reasonably believes to be) under 18 at the time the Booking was made. At the Hirer’s written request, Seastay shall provide the name and contact details of the applicable Owner. The Hirer undertakes not to contact the Owner for any reason other than to deal with queries in relation to the Property which Seastay has not been unable to deal with or, alternatively, if requested to do so by Seastay.
2. INITIAL PAYMENT Bookings will be reserved upon receipt by Seastay of the required deposit payment in cleared funds of one third of the total Guest Price. If the Booking is made less than twelve weeks before the holiday commencement date, the full Guest Price will be required to be paid at the time the Booking is made. Deposits can be paid by debit card or credit card, BACS transfer or cheque. In the case of web bookings, these can be paid online through our secure payment system.
3. BALANCE PAYMENT The balance of the Guest Price will be due for payment twelve weeks before the holiday commencement date. On receipt of the full balance payment in cleared funds, advice on key collection arrangements and directions to the Property will be sent to the Hirer. The Owner reserves the right to cancel a Booking where full payment has not been received within 14 days after the due date as advised by Seastay. The deposit paid on the Booking is always non-returnable (subject to clause 16).
4. METHOD OF PAYMENT Cheques should be made payable to Seastay Limited with the booking reference written on the back. There is no charge for Debit or Credit Card payments.
5. VALUE ADDED TAX Where VAT applies to the Property rental, it is included in the quoted price at the prevailing rate. Seastay’s Confirmation of Booking is not a VAT invoice. All Seastay charges and VAT inclusive rentals are subject to change if the rate changes.
6. CONFIRMATION OF BOOKING Once Seastay has issued a written Confirmation of Booking, the Hirer is responsible for the total Guest Price as well as any extras as shown on the Confirmation of Booking. Amendments to bookings, where applicable and accepted by Seastay (on behalf of the Owner), will be subject to an administration fee of £50 for each amendment. Seastay reserves the right to adjust prices quoted in the brochure, on its website or on details to properties, due to errors or omissions or changes in the VAT rate.
7. BOOKING CANCELLATION If you wish to cancel your Booking you must inform Seastay as soon as possible in writing (including by e-mail). The day Seastay receives your notice to cancel is the date on which Seastay will cancel your Booking with the Owner. Please note that if you cancel your Booking you will remain liable for full payment, subject to your rights pursuant to clause 16. We recommend that all guests consider taking out a travel insurance policy, which may provide cover in the event of a cancellation.
8. BOOKING FEE Seastay charges a booking fee for your first booking in any calendar year, payable at the time of booking. Additional Bookings with the same customer reference where the Property hire period starts in the same calendar year (1st January to 31st December) will not attract a booking fee. The booking fee is non-refundable once the Booking has been confirmed.
9. PETS If the property accepts pets, this will be clearly marked in the brochure or on the website property page. Bookings that include pets are taken on the condition that all flea and worming treatments are up to date and Seastay and/or the Owner reserve the right to ask for written evidence of such treatment. You are not permitted to leave pets unattended at the property at any time and some Owners will require that pets remain on the ground floor and off furniture at all times – this will be stated in the brochure or on the website property page if applicable. You, as pet owner, will be responsible for removing any evidence left by your pet and reimbursing the Owner for any damage caused. Please show consideration for guests visiting after you have gone home and bear in mind that some popular beaches do not permit dogs during the summer months. For most properties, a charge per pet per Booking will be made. Guests With Allergies Relating to Pets: Please note that an assistance dog may have stayed in a chosen property recently (even one that doesn’t allow pets as standard) and the Owner may have a dog or cat that sometimes stays at the property. The Owner cannot accept responsibility or liability for any suffering, damages or losses which may occur as a result of such animals having been present. The Owner and Seastay cannot guarantee and make no warranty that the property will be completely free from pet hair.
10. AMENITIES The use of accommodation and amenities, where offered, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, rowing boats, beach huts etc, is entirely at the Hirer’s risk and the Owner excludes all responsibility or liability for injury, or loss or damage to Hirer’ or visitors’ belongings. Further, neither the Owner nor Seastay will be liable to you, any member of your party or person visiting the Property during the period of your hire of it for any events outside the Owner’s or Seastay’s reasonable control, such as the breakdown of domestic appliances, plumbing, wiring, temporary invasion of pests, building works at adjacent properties, damage resulting From exceptional weather conditions or other unforeseeable circumstances or any Force Majeure Events. You also accept that Seastay in acting as agent for the owner will not be liable for any negligence on the part of the Owner resulting in loss, injury or accident. Further, neither the Owner nor Seastay will be liable to you for the withdrawal/removal of any facilities/amenities From/in the Property resulting From a Force Majeure Event. Where Wi-Fi is an advertised facility, please note that its provision is subject to availability and network conditions. It may not be available 24 hours a day and is provided for pleasure not for business purposes. Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common and we want to ensure they can be catered for wherever possible. Not all properties will have a suitable and safe place to charge vehicles, so it is recommended you check prior to finalising your Booking if this is an essential requirement. If you are keeping an electric vehicle at the property, you must use designated charging points (where available) only and manufacturer approved cables for charging any vehicle when at the property. The Owner reserves the right to (i) charge additional fees if charging is, in Seastay’s or the Owner’s opinion, excessive and/or (ii) refuse to allow electric vehicles to be charged if they do not think it is suitable/safe to do so. Any damage to the electric system at the property through incorrect use, overload of the system or the use of a standard extension cable will be the responsibility of the Hirer. Should damage occur the costs of repair are the responsibility of the Hirer and are not covered by the accidental damage waiver.
11. PARTY NUMBERS/COMPOSITION It is your sole responsibility to ensure that no more than the maximum numbers of persons, as stated in the brochure/website, occupy a Property during your Booking. The Owner/Seastay reserve the right to refuse admittance or to require you to ensure that some people leave the Property if they believe that you are in breach of this obligation. No refunds will be given if admittance has been refused for this reason. Further, where properties specify a minimum age limit for guests, in no circumstances may any persons under the specified age limit, as stated in the brochure/website, stay at that Property. The Owner/Seastay reserve the right to refuse admittance or to require proof of someone’s age if either believe that this restriction has been breached. No refunds will be given if admittance has been refused for this reason. By completing a Booking, the Hirer certifies that they are authorised to agree to these Booking Conditions on behalf of all members of the party, including any changes. The Hirer must be over 18 years at the time a Booking is made and be a member of the party occupying the Property. The Hirer agrees to take responsibility for the acts and omissions of all members of the party in relation to the Booking and the Property. The Owner/Seastay reserve the right to refuse or revoke any bookings From parties that may in their opinion (and at their sole discretion) be unsuitable for the Property concerned.
12. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES For the duration of your stay at the Property, you will be responsible for the Property and will be expected to take all reasonable care of it. The Property and all equipment and utensils must be left clean and tidy at the end of the hire period. If a Property is not left clean and tidy, any additional cleaning costs will be charged to the Hirer. Should there be any specific health or mobility difficulties which may affect a party member; this must be pointed out at the initial reservation stage so that the suitability of the Property can be assessed. The Property (including any car parking spaces) must be vacated by 09.00 am on the day of departure.
13. DAMAGE All damages and breakages are the legal responsibility of the Hirer and should be reported immediately and before the end of the holiday. The reasonable costs of miscellaneous repairs to and/or replacement of and/or additional cleaning of furnishings, kitchen equipment, crockery, glass, keys, bedding and towels damaged or soiled otherwise than by usual wear and tear during the period of the Booking by you or other members of your party shall be payable on demand to Seastay who may also, at their discretion, refuse further bookings. The Owner/Seastay has the right to enter the Property (without prior notice if this is not practical or possible) if special circumstances or emergencies arise (for example if repairs need to be carried out). The Owner/Seastay reserves the right to repossess the Property at any time where you or any member of your party has caused damage, and in such circumstances the Owner/Seastay shall not be liable to make a refund of any remaining portion of the Guest Price.
14. LITERATURE The Owner/Seastay take every care to ensure the accuracy of the Property descriptions. All information in Seastay’s brochure or other marketing material and on Seastay’s website is given in good faith and is believed to be correct at the time of going to press, but the Owner/Seastay cannot be held responsible for changes beyond their control, which may become known after publication of this literature. In addition, whilst properties may be described as non-smoking or no pets, this cannot be and is not guaranteed. Please be aware that if a Property is advertised as having an enclosed garden, this does not necessarily mean a secure garden. It may be enclosed by hedging or open style fencing. The Owner/Seastay’s description of a property shows what amenities that property has but generally does not state what is not in the self-catering property.
15. AVAILABILITY The Contract of Hire is made on the understanding that the Property will be available for the dates stated. In the unlikely event that a Property is not available during the period of the Booking as a result of a Force Majeure Event or if the Hirer cannot legally travel to the Property as a result of a Force Majeure Event, then either (i) the Owner/Seastay may be forced to cancel the Booking and you will be advised as early as possible or (ii) you must write to Seastay as soon as possible to inform Seastay as to the Force Majeure Event and its effects on your ability to legally travel to the Property. In the event of such a cancellation only, the Hirer will have the choice of the following options: • to transfer the Booking to a later date and/or another property Free of any administration charges, subject to availability – the Hirer will have to pay any difference in price if the cost of the new booking is higher or be reimbursed the difference if the cost of the new booking is lower; • to request a voucher with a redemption value equal to the amount previously paid for the Booking – the voucher terms and conditions will be available to the Hirer before they make their choice under this clause; or • to obtain a refund of the amount already paid for the Booking (after deducting any administrative charges that apply to a Booking, such as the booking fee). The Hirer will have to contact Seastay in order to access these options. The Hirer will not as a result have any further claims against Seastay or the Owner.
16. PROPERTIES WITH CHARACTER If you choose to holiday in an older property, remember that much of its character and charm is due to its age. Some of our properties are well over 100 years old and were built long before the days of damp proof courses and cavity walls so some may show signs of damp, particularly in long spells of wet weather. The Owner/Seastay will do their best to ensure that the background heating is kept on sufficiently to compensate, even when the Property is empty. Condensation can be alleviated by opening windows and allowing the air to circulate. If you have any concerns, please talk to us at the time of making your Booking. Also, please remember that should traditional property features (steep stairs or low beams, for example) be a problem for any member of your party, you must consider and mention this prior to booking. Please remember that properties in the country do attract spiders and therefore cobwebs. It does not mean that the Property is dirty or has not been cleaned as cobwebs can be spun almost as quickly as they have been cleaned away! Some of our properties, particularly in remote areas, may have a private water supply From a spring or well water, which is regularly tested. In rural areas please be tolerant of the sounds and scents that you may encounter, they are all a part of the countryside experience!
17. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE We aim to provide a high level of customer service and want all of our guests to be completely happy with their holiday. In the unlikely event that you have any issues with your accommodation, please get in touch with us as soon as possible during your stay so that we can do our best to put it right. If the Hirer wishes to make a complaint about anything connected with the hire of the Property, they should contact Seastay as soon as reasonably possible prior to departure. In the event the Hirer does not have phone reception at the location where they are staying, the Hirer must make reasonable efforts to make a call From a nearby public telephone, send us an e-mail or visit our office. Seastay will then either pass the complaint on to the Owner of the Property to deal with or it may consider the complaint and take action to resolve this itself (on behalf of the Owner) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that Seastay has the authority to act on the Owner’s behalf to resolve any dispute, but Seastay is not liable if one or both parties are dissatisfied with the outcome. Compensation will not be considered for any complaints that are made after the hire has ended, or where the Hirer has denied Seastay or the Owner the opportunity to investigate, address or remedy the issue during the Hirer’s stay. Neither Seastay or the Owner can accept responsibility or liability for work taking place outside the boundary of the Property, or for noise or nuisance resulting From third party activity over which Seastay or the Owner have no control.
18. DATA PROTECTION Seastay will process your data in accordance with its Privacy Policy which can be found here and its Cookie Policy which can be found here. These policies form part of these terms and conditions so please take the time to read them. The Privacy Policy also details your rights and how to contact Seastay in relation to any data protection queries. At all times your data will be held securely and protected in line with Seastay’s obligations under UK data protection legislation. Your party names and contact details will only be shared with the Owner in order to allow the Owner to manage your holiday and give you the best possible experience. If you request that we pass on supplementary information that you wish to provide to the Owner, for any reason, then we will do so. Seastay will securely hold that information on your behalf as part of your booking record unless you ask us to delete it. Any such information is provided at your sole request and discretion, and Seastay bears no responsibility for its accuracy or contents.
19. OUR LIABILITY As Seastay act only as agents for the Owner, Seastay cannot accept any legal responsibility for any act or neglect on their part or of anyone representing or employed by them. Further, Seastay cannot accept any liability for any problems or faults with or in any Property. The Owner is solely responsible for providing the accommodation and for the safety of all guests. Seastay accepts no responsibility for personal injury to, or death of, any guests, or loss of or consequential loss or damage to their property, or for other matters over which Seastay has no control. Other than in relation to any liability which it is not possible to exclude at law, the Owner’s and Seastay’s liability for any claims arising out of or in relation to the Contract of Hire is limited to the amounts paid by the Hirer pursuant to the Contract of Hire.
20. LEGAL Each of the paragraphs in these terms and conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. In the event of any dispute between parties it shall be referred to the jurisdiction of the English courts only and any actions shall be heard in the court for the area in which the property is situated. These Booking Conditions supersede any previous issues.
