    Terms and Conditions

    • “La Petite Maison” at Margot, 81140 St-Michel-de-Vax, Tarn is offered to adults only for holiday rental by Francis & Clare Hansom. It is not suitable for children or animals/pets.
    • To reserve La Petite Maison, please complete and sign the booking form and return it to us together with a non-refundable deposit payment of 25% of the rental. Upon receipt of this, a confirmation will be sent.
    • For those staying less than a week, the full balance, together with a damages deposit of £200, is due at the time of booking.
    • The balance of the rent, together with the damages deposit of £200, is payable not less than eight weeks before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to treat this non-payment as a cancellation. Reservations made within 8 weeks of the rental require full payment at the time of booking.
    • The damages deposit of £200 does not limit the tenant’s liability to the Hansoms. Costs of damages, breakages or failure to leave La Petite Maison in a clean, tidy and orderly condition upon your departure at the end of the Rental Period will be explained and deducted appropriately. Alternatively, a full refund will be made available.
    • We strongly advise taking out comprehensive travel insurance to include cancellation cover booking protection, personal belongings and public liability as the owner’s insurance does not cover these items.
    • Cancellation: if the booking or part of the booking is cancelled, a cancellation charge is payable, depending on the number of days before the Rental Period start date that the notice of cancellation is received. Please note: all deposits paid are non-refundable. The amount payable by the Renter is set out below:

       15-28 days before start date: 75% of the rental value
       29-56 days before start date: 50% of the rental value
       57 days or more before start date: full deposit of the rental value
      NB: if the rental is altered/cancelled or shortened before the final payment is due, and the host is unable to re-sell that period, a charge of 25% is made on the unsold period.
    • La Petite Maison will be ready from 4pm on the day of arrival and should be vacated by 10am on the day of departure.
    • The Hansoms are not liable to the tenant for:
      any faults or interruption to the supply of public services to La Petite Maison;
      any loss, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered as a result of weather conditions, riots, wars, strikes or other matters beyond their control;
      any loss, damage or inconvenience suffered if La Petite Maison becomes uninhabitable before the start of the rental period. In this unfortunate event a full rental refund will be made. No further liability will be accepted by the Hansoms.
    • The tenants and all visitors using La Petite Maison do so entirely at their own risk. No responsibility will be accepted for injury, loss or damage to property including personal belongings, vehicles and their contents.
