The Breakages Deposit cheque should be returned with the Holiday Letting Agreement form and dated to be valid for the time of your stay. This is not banked and is destroyed after your departure, assuming the property is left in good order. This deposit is intended for and may be used to offset the cost of remedying any damages, breakages or losses sustained, or any unbudgeted cost incurred by The Osborne Club for restoring the property to a truly clean and tidy state. If guests paying by credit card do not send a Breakages Deposit cheque, it will be assumed The Osborne Club may charge the card for any damages up to the amount of the required Breakages Deposit cheque.

The balance shall be payable 8 weeks before the commencement of the rental. Non-payment of the balance of the rent on or before the due date shall be construed as a cancellation of the contract by the tenant. For bookings made less than 8 weeks before the commencement of the rental the total fee is payable. Payment can be made by cheque [made payable to The Osborne Club] or debit card. There is a surcharge of 1.7% if paying by credit card (regrattably we cannot except American Express or Diners Club).

If The Osborne Club succeeds in re-letting the property for the whole period it shall refund all the monies paid less an administrative charge of £20 + VAT per booking. If The Osborne Club only succeeds in re-letting the property for part of the period booked it shall refund an amount equal to the money paid less [1] the rental for the period which is not re-let and [2] an administrative charge of £20 [plus VAT]. If The Osborne Club is unable to re-let the property at all then all monies paid by the Tenant shall be forfeit to The Osborne Club. The Osborne Club strongly recommends Tenants to take out Cancellation Insurance.
5. ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION. If for any reason beyond The Osborne Club's control, the confirmed and booked property becomes unavailable on the date booked [owing to fire or storm damage for example], The Osborne Club will endeavour to offer suitable alternative accommodation of a similar type, standard and rental. If the offered alternative is not acceptable, or the Club is unable to offer a suitable alternative, the Club will refund all monies paid. The Tenant shall have no further claim against the Owners or The Osborne Club.
6. LIABILITY. The Osborne Club [for itself and its employees] and the Owner shall not be liable to the Tenant or third parties for any accident, damage, loss, injury expense or inconvenience, which may be suffered, incurred, arise out of or in any way connected with the rental.
