The Contract shall be governed by UK Law and will be deemed as binding once the deposit has been satisfactorily received by A Break Away Holidays in cleared funds. The Contract will be subject to all the following booking conditions: |

| A deposit of £50, per week booked, is payable if the booking is made more than six weeks before the commencement of the rental period. This deposit will be refunded within one week of the end of your stay subject to any deductions for damages (please see points 9. and 10. below). Payment for the rental in the agreed sum will become due six weeks before the commencement of the rental period. Failure to pay the rental on or before the due date may be construed as a cancellation of the contract by the Client and under these circumstances the deposit will be forfeit. For bookings made less than six weeks before the commencement of the rental, the total rental fee plus the £50 deposit is payable on booking. Payment may be accepted by cheque if it is denominated in sterling (UK pounds), drawn on a UK bank account and received not less than two weeks before the commencement of the rental and provided that cheque is honoured by the issuing bank upon presentation. A charge of £10 will be incurred on each and every occasion that a cheque that has been received is declined by the issuing bank and A Break Away Holiday reserve the right at our absolute discretion to consider a dishonoured cheque to represent a failure to pay the rental by the due date and under such circumstances any deposit received will be forfeit.
