THE ROLE OF WORLDWIDE HOLIDAY RENTALS

WorldwideHoliday Rentals  are acting solely as Booking Agents.  All information supplied for the properties advertised on our web site are supplied by the individual property owners and are believed accurate.  Worldwide Holiday Rentals  therefore do not accept any liability for the maintenance and condition or for any problems that occur while guests occupy the property of their choice.  Worldwide Holiday Rentals also do not accept any liability for misrepresentation of property information supplied on this web site.  Any problems or refunds must be dealt by the client with the property owner immediately.  Worldwide Holiday Rentals will act as mediators in any disputes arising between the client and the property owner to try to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion for both parties.

As Booking Agents,Worldwide Holiday Rentals  do not accept any liability for property loss or damage, nor any liability for injury, accident, death, delay or irregularity.

If, for any reason, Worldwide Holiday Rentals  or the property owners are forced to cancel your holiday, including force majeure, best efforts will be made to offer another property of equivalent standard.

Worldwide Holiday Rentals  and the property owners do not accept any liability for circumstances beyond our control (force majeure) i.e. war, threat of war, civil strife, natural or nuclear disaster, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, fire, adverse weather conditions, unforeseen local building/road works, unavoidable technical problems with transport etc.

Deposits and Balance Payments

Deposits and balance payment methods and amounts will vary with each individual property owner.  Worldwide Holiday Rentals  will collect all deposits from clients on behalf of the property owners.  In some cases, ie. late bookings, Worldwide Holiday Rentals  may collect the full rental charge from the client on behalf of the property owners.  In most cases, however, the balance payment will be made between the client and the property owner.  Once Worldwide Holiday Rentals  has received the deposit, we shall confirm the booking with the client and forward to the client the full contact details of the property owner. We also forward the deposit payment to the property owner together with full contact details of the client.  As Booking Agents, the responsibility of Worldwide Holiday Rentals  will cease at this point in relation to the booking that has been made.

Cancellation Charges

We strongly recommend that the appropriate travel/holiday insurance is taken out at the same time that a booking is made.

Deposit payments will NOT be refunded in any event.

Cancellation charges of bookings, after the final balance has been paid to the property owner, will be at the discretion of the property owner. As Booking Agents, Worldwide Holiday Rentals  do not accept liability in relation to any booking made, after the initial deposit has been received by the client and the confirmation of booking has been sent to the client.

Safety Precautions

Most of the properties advertised on this web site are privately owned and are designed to the specification of the owner.  Features including steep and unguarded staircases, ornate balconies or pools may make certain properties unsuitable for parties with young or less mobile guests.

Special attention must be paid to the following:

Balconies and other steep drops, protected by railings or other barriers (or in some cases without any protection) which may encourage small children to climb or squeeze through. Do not leave children unattended on balconies where they can climb on to patio furniture.

Glass doors patio doors and windows which may be difficult to see in bright sunlight. Private homes will not necessarily have stickers on glass doors, patio doors or windows. It is strongly recommended that children are not to be allowed to run in and out of glass doors as they often have a tendency to shut the other person out by closing the door behind them. The following person may not notice that the door has been closed.

Marble floors can be extremely slippery when feet are wet. All marble floors within the property should be kept dry at all times to avoid such accidents occurring.

Gas is frequently supplied from a bottle. Please ensure that the cooker is never left unattended and that burners are extinguished correctly after cooking. In windy conditions take extreme care that drafts do not extinguish the burners.

Swimming Pools  are always dangerous and children should never be left unattended no matter how proficient they are at swimming. Pool surrounds or marble floors may be very slippery and care should be taken at all times. Please ensure that you and your party familiarise yourselves with the pool layout to identify the shallow and deep ends.  Ensure that you read and observe any pool rules and restrictions.

Hot Water  is usually heated by turning on an emersion switch. If the switch is left on too long not only will the water be scorching hot, but the elements in the tank will burn out. Engineers are not as quick to responding to emergency call-outs as they are in the UK, so you may find yourself being left without any means to heat the water.

Furniture please do not sit or lay on furniture with suntan oil on your body as this will undoubtedly cause damage to the furnishings.Wet swimwear can also cause stains.

Breakages must be reported immediately.



Please remember that the property owners are offering you their home and safety standards will almost certainly differ to those of your own home.  Care should be taken at all times to avoid accidents, especially with the points mentioned above.
