The content of the website has been compiled with the greatest possible care. However, the landlord cannot guarantee that all information on the website is correct and complete at all times. All prices and other information provided on the website and in other materials are therefore subject to evident programming errors and typing errors.

Formation of the Rental Agreement

A booking request for Maison Agora can be submitted via the website or via email. The landlord will then send an offer and the corresponding prices. If the tenant wishes to accept the offer, a request for an initial payment will be made, which the tenant must pay within 8 days.
After receipt of the initial payment by the landlord, the booking request becomes a booking confirmation and the rental agreement is formed. If the tenant wishes to cancel after the booking is confirmed, cancellation charges will be due.
Only the persons listed by the tenant when entering into the rental agreement may stay at Maison Agora. If the landlord finds that there are more people staying at Maison Agora (or elsewhere on the Maison Agora grounds, such as in tents or caravans) than stated and agreed, the landlord is entitled to terminate the rental agreement with immediate effect and to have the tenant (and accompanying persons) removed, without the tenant being entitled to a (partial) refund of the rent, or to charge a surcharge of € 100 per guest per night, at the discretion of the landlord.
The number of persons stated and agreed includes all persons regardless of age.
If it is established that the tenant provided incorrect information when accepting the offer or otherwise concluding the rental agreement, the landlord has the right to suspend fulfillment of its obligation until the correct information has been received.
If the landlord is forced to cancel the rental agreement due to force majeure or the sale of the holiday home, the landlord will inform the tenant of this as soon as possible by e-mail. The landlord undertakes to immediately repay amounts already paid. The tenant has no other right than to reclaim this amount.

Performance of the Rental Agreement

The landlord is responsible for the information, description and images of Maison Agora on the website.
The landlord ensures that the relevant information about Maison Agora is provided on the website and that this information is accurate. However, it is possible that Maison Agora deviates slightly from the description, for example due to adjustments to the house in recent times.
Should certain information or features of the house be really essential for the tenant, it is the tenant's responsibility to verify this beforehand.
During the rental period and the stay at Maison Agora, the tenant must adhere to the abovementioned Maison Agora House Rules.
In addition to the abovementioned Maison Agora House Rules, the landlord and/or the hostess may also set additional house rules that apply to the tenant.

Right of Revocation and Cancellation

The statutory right of revocation (reflection period of 14 days) is excluded for rental agreements as this concerns the rental of accommodation with a specific date or period.
If the tenant wishes to cancel the booking made, the tenant must notify the landlord by e-mail. The date on which the cancellation is received will determine what part of the rent is due, by way of cancellation charges:
1. Cancellation made more than 42 days before commencement of the rental period: 30% of the total rent (deposit will be refunded).
2. Cancellation made 29-42 days before commencement of the rental period: 50% of the total rent (deposit will be refunded).
3. Cancellation made 0-28 days before rental period: 100% of the total rent (deposit will be refunded).
If the tenant is entitled to a refund after the cancellation, the landlord must repay this amount to the tenant within 8 days after cancellation.

Payment

The rent (including deposit) is paid in full via the bank.
If the tenant books more than 8 weeks before the commencement of the rental period, the tenant must pay an initial payment of 30% of the rent at the time of booking, after which the tenant will receive a rental agreement and the booking is confirmed.
The remaining rent must be paid no later than 8 weeks before the commencement of the rental period.
If the tenant books less than 8 weeks before the commencement of the rental period, the tenant must pay the total rent and deposit.
If - after a 1st reminder – the tenant fails to meet its payment obligation in time, the booking will lapse without obligation to refund an already paid initial payment.
Departure earlier than planned – regardless of the reason or cause – does not lead to a refund of paid rent and cleaning costs.

Deposit

The tenant pays a deposit. The deposit of € 500 will be added to the remaining rental amount and will be refunded at the end of the rental period.
However, the landlord has the right to withhold costs from the deposit if the tenant, his co-tenants, visitors or pets have caused any damage to the house, the inventory and/or the living environment, as well as for additional cleaning and service charges not settled during the stay.
Maison Agora is neatly handed over by the tenant at the end of the stay. Crockery with accessories is returned clean in the cupboards. Moved furniture must be returned to its original position. Damage, defects or missing items must be reported to the landlord immediately by the tenant.
In principle, damage is understood to mean the costs of repair, and if repair is not possible, the costs of replacement.
The final inspection for damage is done immediately after the departure of the tenant.

Complaints Procedure

The tenant may submit complaints about Maison Agora to the landlord. The landlord will discuss with the tenant which solution is desirable and realistic.
