YOUR CONTRACT IS WITH GLENVILLE PROPERTY LIMITED
Glenville Property Limited's ("We, Us or Our") booking conditions have been formulated as a result of Our responsibilities under law and in no way affect Your statutory rights as a consumer. Please read these Booking Conditions carefully and keep them with You ("You or Your") on Holiday as they set out the basis of the contract between You and Us.
1 DEFINITIONS
In these booking conditions the following terms shall have the following meanings:
1.1 "Brochure" means a holiday brochure or Our website.
1.2 " Accommodation, Service or Travel Arrangements" means any service or part thereof provided by Us.
2 YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS CONTRACT
When You make a booking, You must be aged over 18 years, and You guarantee that You have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of Your party the terms of these booking conditions. When You wish to book Travel Arrangements You will be required to complete a booking request form. Once We receive the completed booking request form, we shall contact You by telephone or e-mail to confirm availability and take a deposit. We shall then send You a booking form by e-mail, fax, or post for You to complete. A contract will exist as soon as We receive the deposit. Until then We shall be under no liability to You whatsoever. If We are unable to accept Your booking, we shall return Your deposit immediately. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. When You book any Service from Us, You shall do so subject to these booking conditions contained herein and such further terms and conditions as may be applied by the supplier of the Service (together, the "Booking Conditions"). These Booking Conditions constitute the entire agreement and understanding between You and Us in relation to their subject matter. By proceeding with a booking, you acknowledge that You have read and understood the Booking Conditions and agree to be bound by them. All Holidays and offers published in this Brochure are subject to availability at the time of booking.
3 CONFIRMATION & RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT
All correspondence and documents are sent to the person who made the booking ("Principal Traveller") who is responsible to Us for all payments in respect of the booking. Please check Your confirmation invoice, final itinerary, and all other documents You receive from Us, immediately on receipt. You must contact Us straightaway if any information appears to be incorrect as it may not be possible to make changes later. We are responsible for providing the Accommodation We have confirmed to You. If You cancel or alter Your booking later, you may have to pay an amendment charge. We reserve the right to refuse Your booking. If We do this, we will refund any money already paid to Us. If You book through a travel agent, we will assume that in dealing with Us the agent is acting on Your behalf.
4 YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS PRICE
When You make Your booking, You must pay a deposit of 40% of the total Travel Arrangements The balance of the price of Your Travel Arrangements must be paid at least 12 weeks before Your departure date or at the time of booking if within 12 weeks. Payment can be made by debit or credit card or by cheque. Cheques can only be accepted if received more than twelve weeks before departure. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel Your Travel Arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time, we shall retain Your deposit and any insurance premiums You have paid.
5 BROCHURE ACCURACY AND INFORMATION
We have taken care to ensure published information and prices are accurate, but if We identify an error or omission following publication, we will inform You immediately if it affects Your booking before confirming Your booking. The revised information will then form part of Your contract. If an error or omission is discovered after Your booking is made, we will always try to advise You prior to Your departure. There may however be occasions when an advertised facility is either modified or not available. Incidental information (e.g., relating to local events or markets etc) is offered in good faith and We therefore ask that should this be important to You; you check details independently. Each Brochure edition supersedes all previous editions and will be superseded by subsequent editions upon their publication. The contract between Us, however, is based solely on the Website description from www.villaluxluz.com
Note: Furniture may sometimes vary from website pictures due to refurbishing.
6 IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING
If after Our confirmation invoice has been issued, You wish to change Your Travel Arrangements in any way, for example Your chosen departure date, We will do Our utmost to make these changes, but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the Principal Traveller or Your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge per change, and any further cost We incur in making this alteration. If You make several changes to the same booking, we will only make a reasonable overall charge. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made, and You should contact Us as soon as possible. Except for a change of name, any changes You make within 10 weeks of Your departure will be treated as a cancellation and the cancellation charges shown in the section "If You cancel Your Holiday" may apply.
Note: Certain Travel Arrangements (e.g., Transfers to/from Airports) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.
7 IF YOU CANCEL YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
You, or any member of Your party, may cancel Your Travel Arrangements at any time. Written notification from the Principal Traveller or Your travel agent on Your behalf must be received at Our offices at Glenville Property Limited, Suite 7, Cumberland Business Park, 17 Cumberland Avenue, London NW10 7RT and shall take effect upon the date of receipt by Us. Since We incur costs in cancelling Your Travel Arrangements, you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown in clause 8. The charges apply to the total Travel Arrangements price excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges or charges for goods sold and dispatched. Insurance premiums are always non-refundable.
Note: If the reason for Your cancellation is covered under the terms of Your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.
8 IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
It is unlikely that We will have to make any changes to Your Travel Arrangements, but We do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and We reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and We will advise You or Your travel agent of them as soon as possible. We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel Your Travel Arrangements. If We are unable to provide the booked Travel Arrangements, You can either cancel Your booked Accommodation and receive a full refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative Travel Arrangements of comparable standard from Us, if available. If it is necessary to cancel Your Travel Arrangements, we will pay to Your compensation as set out in this clause. In all cases, except where the major change arises due to reasons of Force Majeure, We will pay compensation as detailed below:
IF WE MAKE A MAJOR CHANGE TO YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
Period before departure within which notice of Cancellation or major change is received by Us or notified to You
More than 84 days - £Nil

The compensation that We offer does not exclude You from claiming more if You are entitled to do so.

These can include, for example, war, threat of war, riot, civil disturbances, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, health risks, technical problems, closure or congestion of airports or ports, cancellation, or changes by scheduled airlines.
9 IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT
If You have a problem during Your stay at Accommodation, please inform Us immediately. We will endeavour to put things right. If Your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of Your return home by writing to Our Customer Services Department at Glenville Property Limited, c/o Suite 7, Cumberland Business Park, 17 Cumberland Avenue, London NW10 7RT giving Your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep Your letter concise and to the point. This will assist Us to quickly identify Your concerns and speed up Our response to You.
It is strongly suggested that You communicate any complaint to the Management Company or Supplier of the Service in question, as well as to Us, by completing a complaint form on the web site without delay. If You fail to follow this simple procedure, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify Your complaint whilst You were in resort, and this may affect Your rights under this contract.
10 YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
You agree to report to Us any deficiency in the Service as soon as possible, to exercise due and reasonable care in respect of Your Accommodation and its contents, to leave it in a clean and complete condition, to respect local and on-site regulations and bye-laws, to limit party numbers to those on Your confirmation, to remit payments as invoiced on or before the due dates, to indemnify Us against all loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from any act, default or omission of Your party, and not to exceed the stated occupation capacity on the booking confirmation form. Any serious abuse of a property or its contents may render You liable to eviction without compensation.
The Principal Traveller must sign the Owners Terms and Conditions and must provide a copy of their passport. This is obligatory for your group to enter the Villa. A copy of the Owners Terms and Conditions will be emailed to the Principal Traveller before travelling. It is important that you read and agree to the Owners Terms and Conditions, any questions should be emailed back immediately to the sender.
11. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
(i) We accept responsibility for ensuring that Your Travel Arrangements, which You book with Us, are supplied as described on this Website. If any part of Your Travel Arrangements is not provided as promised, due to the fault of Our employees, We will pay You appropriate compensation if this is deemed to have affected the enjoyment of Your Travel Arrangements. Subject to paragraph (ii) below Our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of the costs of Your Travel Arrangements.
(ii) Nothing in these Booking Conditions excludes Our responsibility for death, injury or illness caused by the negligent acts and/or omissions of Our employees, whilst acting within the scope of, or in the course of their employment in the provision of Your Travel Arrangements. We will accordingly pay to You such damages as might have been awarded in such circumstances under English Law. However, we are not responsible if the failure:
• is attributable to You or a member of Your party.
• is attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the Services to You and is unforeseeable or unavoidable.
• is due to Force Majeure.
(iii) In respect of travel by air, sea and rail, and the provision of accommodation Our liability will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant international convention.

Transport operators have their own conditions of carriage, which form part of Your contract with Us. These conditions, and the provisions of certain international conventions, generally limit the liability of transport operators.
(v) If We accept any liability or are adjudged to have for a claim that You make, You must assign to Us any rights against a supplier or any other person or party they may have relating to the claim and You agree to co-operate fully with Us should We or Our insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to Us or which We are subject. This assignment is necessary to enable Us to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to clients and associated costs because of a personal injury to clients caused by the negligence of suppliers.
12. PERSONAL INJURY UNCONNECTED WITH YOUR BOOKED TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
If You, or any member of Your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of Your Travel Arrangements or an excursion arranged through Us, We shall at Our discretion, offer advice, guidance, and assistance.
