Terms and Conditions Emsland Comfort

In Advance

With tenant(s) in these conditions, all joint tenants are meant.

Booking and (down) payment

Immediately after we got a booking, the tenant receives an acknowledgment.
Once the booking is verified, the tenant receives in the case of
1. approving: an overview of the booking with the amount payable for the booking, and the request to pay the due deposit within a week. If we have received this amount within this term, the reservation is definitively and binding for both parties. At the latest 6 weeks before the start of the stay, the payable booking amount has to be credited on our account.
2. rejection, or any comments, an e-mail message.
If no damages are to be settled (see below under “Deposit”), the full amount of the deposit will be refunded within two weeks after the stay.
In case of a booking within 6 weeks before the date of arrival, the tenant has to pay the payable booking amount + the due deposit. These amounts have to be credited to our account within a week after the booking (or if this is earlier, before the start of the stay).
Upon reception of the payment (the deposit or the total invoice amount in case of a booking within 6 weeks before the holiday), the tenant receives a confirmation email. With due observance of the reservations mentioned in the following 2 points, the booking is at that moment final and binding on both parties.
Bookings are at all times subject to errors.
Bookings made earlier than 4 months prior to a new calendar year are never final. Prices, arrival- and departure- dates may not be updated at that time.
With the payment, the tenant indicates that he is aware of, and agree with, these conditions and to have understood them well.
In case of a to late and/or not fully payment of the amounts due in accordance with these conditions, we have the right to cancel the booking without notice and/or intervention of the court, without any right to a refund of payments, including the paid deposit, and to release the reserved dates for new bookings.
If without notification, none of the tenants has appeared at 12:00 pm on the day after the start of the booking period, we may consider this as a cancellation by the tenant and dissolution of the lease; we therefore are allowed to release the remaining dates for new bookings.
We are allowed -without statement of reasons- to refuse reservations; so will groups for instance not be admitted.
If we, because of force majeure or unforeseen circumstances, cannot fulfill the lease contract, we have to refund all the amounts already paid by the tenant.

Deposit

Tenant is due a deposit of € 250,–. In case of damages not caused by wear or normal use, or loss or the incorrect leaving of the apartment, we can use this amount for additional (cleaning) costs. This does not release the tenant from liability for damages or loss that cannot be recovered from the deposit. The tenant remains fully liable for any damages, occurred directly or indirectly by his action or omission, and for all damages caused by any of his matters.

Cancellation *)

up to 6 weeks before the rental period, 100% of the rent paid will be refunded.
between 6 and 4 weeks before the rental period, 50% of the rent paid will be refunded.
within 4 weeks before the rental period, the rent paid is not refundable.

We therefore recommend a cancellation insurance.

*) Does not apply to rebookings: in the event of a rebooking accepted by us, the right to reimbursement will expire if this (re)booking is also canceled, regardless of the moment of cancellation.

Scope of the lease

Overnight stays are only allowed to the persons who are listed on the booking form (in case of violation, tenant is due 15% of the rent for each unallowed person).

In this case all amounts already received, with the exception of the deposit paid, will be refunded.
After we have received all the necessary information, at about 14 days prior to arrival (or immediately in case of a last-minute booking) tenant receives from us a voucher including the details of the booking and instructions concerning the acquisition and return of the keys and keyfob (for the barrier, the garbage collection and the swimming pool).
