<font face="Arial" size="2"><b>1.</b> The hiring contract shall be between the hirer and Michael Martin (the
owners' Agent) and shall be deemed to be made subject to these Conditions of
Hire. The hiring contract is not effective until the hirer has paid a 25
deposit (one third deposit in the case of a one week booking) and has
received confirmation of the booking and an invoice for the hire fee balance.
All bookings are subject to these conditions unless the owners' Agent
confirms any alteration to them in writing.<br>
<br>
<b>
2.</b> An initial deposit of 25% (one third deposit in the case of a one week
booking) for the rental cost of the property is required with the booking
form to secure a booking. When the deposit has been received the owners'
Agent will confirm that the period required has been reserved for the hirer.
The balance of the invoice is payable two months prior to the reserved
period. For bookings made less than eight weeks prior to the reserved
period full payment is required with the booking form.<br>
<br>
<b>
3.</b> The hirer is responsible for the property during the hire period and
expected to take all reasonable care of it and leave the property in the
condition they found it with the exception of making up the beds which is the
responsibility of the owners' Agent. If the hirer is unable to leave the
property as they found it on arrival the owners' Agent can/will supply a maid
at 70FF per hour. The hirer is required to keep noise levels emitting from
the property and it's surrounds to reasonable levels. Any time involved with
liasing with neighbours or local police concerning unreasonable noise will be
charged to the hirer. A domestic deposit of 350 per two weeks is payable as
a deposit against the cost of electricity (by meter reading), laundry,
cleaning and any damages. If the hirer wishes to make use of the telephone a
further 350 per two weeks is payable as a deposit and the cost of the
telephone is calculated by a meter installed in the property or by an invoice
from France Telecom for the period of the rental. The owners' Agent will
post an account and the balance of all deposits paid within 8 weeks of the
end of the hire period. The required 350 in each case will be pro rated for
bookings of longer than two weeks.<br>
<br>
<b>
4.</b> The accommodation is available to the client from 16:00 hours (4pm) on the

<br>
<b>
5.</b> The owners' Agent shall not be obliged to accept an alteration to a

by the same method as the hirer made the final payment. If a material
alteration or cancellation is made the owners' Agent will pay to the hirer
compensation per person over 12 years old as follows: 20 less than 8 weeks
before the hire starting date, 25 less than 4 weeks, 30 less than 2 weeks.<br>

7.</b> The hirer may cancel a booking by giving written notice to the owners'
Agent. If the cancellation notice is received 57 days or more before the
hire starting date only the 25% hire deposit and any insurance premium will
be forfeit. Within that period the following percentages of the hire price
will be payable as a cancellation charge by the hirer taking into account the
deposit held by the owners' Agent. 56-42 days, 50%; 41-28 days 75%; 27
days or less 100%. Any such cancellation cost in excess of the
deposits/payments held by the owners' Agent from the hirer must be paid
