Highland Club Direct Booking Terms & Conditions
1. Accommodation available at the property you have requested ("the Property") is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by Highland Club Direct (HCD) to the renter ("the Client"). HCD is acting as the agent for and on behalf of the property owners (“the Owner”) to facilitate the booking process.
2. Prices include electricity, supply of laundry to include bed linen, towels and tea towels
3. To reserve the Property, the Client should pay the deposit, and sign and return the Terms & Conditions to the address shown at the bottom of the terms and conditions page. HCD will then email a receipt for the deposit along with the due dates for the remaining balance and security deposit. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.
4. A separate security deposit of £300 is required in the case of losses or damage to the property or its contents. The security deposit will be debited from the Client’s credit or switch card 8 weeks prior to commencement of the holiday. This deposit will be refunded electronically two weeks after the Client’s departure from the property after completion of the post-rental inspection to a permissible standard. It is the Client’s responsibility to inform Highland Club Direct of any changes to the purchasing card details; failure to do this may delay the return of the security deposit. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period will be deducted from the security deposit, and the balance returned to the Client by electronic means.
5. The balance of the rent is payable not less than eight weeks prior to the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, HCD reserves the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled. Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.
6. Should the Client need to terminate the stay early, there will be no reimbursement of rent. The Client is strongly recommended to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for personal belongings, public liability, accident or other unforeseen eventualities, since these are not covered by the Owner’s insurance.
7. HCD shall not be obliged to offer access to the site, facilities or accommodation before the time stated on the booking form and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated on the booking form.
8. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and on departure adhere to the points covered on the departure check list. HCD reserves the right to make retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.
9. The Client also agrees not to act in any way which would cause disturbance to neighbouring residents or people in the local area.
10. The maximum number of people to reside in the Property must not exceed that stated in the Property information details, unless the Owner has given specific permission.
11. The Client agrees not to use the rental agreement to benefit in any way from any third party, person or enterprise unless by written agreement from the Owner.
12. The Client accepts that a 'No Smoking' policy inside the property is in operation.
13. The Client shall report to HCD/Maintenance Person (MP) without delay, any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property and grounds. HCD/MP will arrange for repair and/or replacement to be made as soon as practically possible.
14. HCD shall not be liable to the Client for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the Property nor in respect of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliances in the Property or grounds or for any loss, damage or injury which is the result of adverse weather conditions, riots, strikes or other matters beyond the control of HCD.
15. In the event of any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by the Client, if the property is not fit for rental purposes, shall be destroyed or substantially damaged for any reason whatsoever before the start of the rental period, the HCD shall, within thirty days of notification to the Client, refund to the Client all sums previously paid in respect of the rental period.
16. For any loss, damage or injury caused by the Client's use of the accommodation, amenities or to the Client's vehicles and belongings or incurred by the Client during any activities, the HCD shall not be liable.
17. Under no circumstances shall HCD’s liability to the Client exceed the amount paid in respect of the rental period.
18. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the details provided are accurate, the representations and details shall not give rise to any liability on the part of HCD. Every effort will be made to notify any changes in the details prior to the commencement of the holiday.
19. I the Client have read understood and will adhere to the above Terms & Conditions.
