1. Sundance Villas is the appointed representative for the Villa Owners and /or their local managers and acts on their behalf. All bookings are accepted on behalf of the Villa Owners by Sundance Villas (for the purpose of these conditions henceforth known as the Company) subject to these terms and conditions.

2. In facilitating the rental of your villa, the Company is acting as Agents on behalf of the Villa Owner or his local management company. For contractual purposes your contract is with the Owner of the Villa who is acting as the Principal for your holiday.

3. No contract shall exist between you and the Owner until a signed booking form and a deposit has been received by the Company and a confirmation of booking has been issued to you by the Company on behalf of the Owner.

4. The non-returnable deposit payable on booking is accepted as an instalment of the total holiday cost. The balance is required to reach the Company no later than 12 weeks before departure. No reminders will be issued. Where balances are not settled on time the Company has the right to cancel, or re-sell all or any part of the booking.

5. If the Company is instructed to make arrangements on your behalf, anything quoted in respect of transportation costs, car hire etc. is subject to the Booking Conditions and Conditions of Carriage of the companies or individuals concerned, and arrangements may be subject to change at their discretion.

6. Only persons named on the booking form, unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, may occupy the villa. There will be an extra charge levied (£100 per person/child per week or part thereof) for anyone occupying the villa without written permission. We reserve the right to terminate the contract should a property be occupied by unauthorised person(s).

7. We recommend that Travel Insurance is taken out at the time of booking. All cancellations by you or any member of your party must be made in writing and the cancellation is not effective until it is received by the Company. We recommend that any notification of cancellation is sent by recorded delivery. If cancellation is received less than 9 weeks before departure the following charges will apply:

More than 9 weeks before departure - loss of deposit

6-9 weeks before departure - 50% of holiday cost

6 weeks or less - 100% of holiday cost

8. A security deposit of approx. £200 is payable with the balance of the holiday cost or to the owner in Cyprus. The deposit is held by the Company or the Owner against any unpaid local amounts such as damage, breakage or loss which may occur during your tenancy. This also includes excessive cleaning, see 10., as the villa must be left as it was found. Security deposits will be paid and refunded in Cyprus or, if paid in UK, refunded by BACS to cheque drawer’s account within 6 weeks of your return.

9. Any loss or damage to the property or its contents must be advised immediately to the local manager and you will be required to make good and fully compensate for such loss or damage. We do ask for your co-operation on this, particularly so that replacements may be made promptly so as not to affect the following tenants.

10. We ask you to take care of the property as if it were your own home. If the property is not left in the condition it was found and is deemed by the local manager to be excessively untidy, dirty or with undue amounts of non disposed rubbish, there will be an extra charge for Maid Service to be settled before you leave Cyprus. Maid service does NOT cover washing up, cleaning of grills, ovens or BBQ. Air conditioning units where offered must be used considerately, and never left running in rooms not in use or when doors or windows are open. Over or misuse will result in non function of the unit and a costly bill chargeable to client.

11. In signing the contract, you are responsible for the correct and decent behaviour of your party. Should you behave in a manner that is not acceptable by civilised standards, or should we feel that the villa is not being reasonably looked after, the local manager may ask you and your party to vacate the property.

12. Any complaints you may have in respect of the property or its facilities must be made to the local manager within 24 hours of the cause arising. Contact us on +44 2084406219 if complaint is unresolved 24 hours after reporting it. The Company is not liable for any claim whatsoever, acting only as the representative of the Owner and/or your behalf in respect of any arrangements you wish the Company to make.

13. It must be understood that many of the properties are likely to have inherent dangers such as swimming pools, dry stone walls, ungated access to roads, staircases drops etc. Neither the Company, nor the Owners can accept any liability for accidents occurring howsoever, as villa guests must be responsible for taking any safety precautions. Equally no claims of any sort will be entertained in the event of incidents occurring whilst occupants or guests are under the influence of alcohol or any illegal substances.

14. Photographs used in our property details are intended to give an overall impression. The Company is not liable for any items of furniture or chattels, which appear in the photographs, which may have been removed from the villa and any aspects of the environment which may have changed since the photographs were taken.

15. We cannot accept liability for the actions of any person(s), the occurrence of any incident, the supply of information or services contained with the holiday arrangements, over whom or which the Company has no direct control. We reserve the right to alter any accommodation should unforeseen problems or circumstances arise. Updated Jan 2010
