1. General

1.1 These terms and conditions (the “Booking Contract”) are between and shall bind the property owner, Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd, or manager (“we”, “us” and “our”), and the holidaymaker(s) who book our property (the “Property”) through one of the websites set up for the purpose, for example saintpancraschapel.com (the “Website”). Each such booking is referred to in the Booking Contract as a “Booking”. References to “you” or “your” are references to the person making the booking and ALL members of the holiday party.

1.2 Any Booking is subject to the Booking Contract. This Booking Contract contains the entire agreement between us and you and forms the basis of your agreement with us so please read it carefully. Nothing in this Booking Contract affects your usual statutory rights

1.3 For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that the provider of the Property is Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd (Company number 10290024), registered at: 310 Stafford Road, Croydon, Surrey CR0 4NH, United Kingdom.

 

2. Making your Booking

2.1 You can book the Property with us by making the payment specified in the initial quote provided to you by us (the “Quote”). The Booking shall be made and this Booking Contract shall be effective once the Initial Deposit (as defined below) and full payment has been received by Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd.

2.2 You must pay the full amount specified in the initial quote and the Deposit to make a Booking.

2.3 You shall be required to pay the applicable damage deposit (the “Damage Deposit”), cleaning fee and/or any other fees (“Other Fees”) as part of your payment in full or your Balance payment (as applicable). You should carefully check the details of the Quote before making any payment to Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd regarding your Booking and inform us immediately of any errors or omissions.

 

3. Paying for your Booking

3.1 Where you have only paid the booking fee and an Initial Deposit, you are required to send to Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd your payment for the Balance and you may be required to pay the Damage Deposit and/or Other Fees within a certain period prior to the arrival date specified in the email confirmation (the “Arrival Date”). If you fail to make the balance payment due to us in full and on time we shall be entitled to treat your Booking as cancelled by you and the Cancellation Policy (as defined below) shall apply.

 

4. If you cancel or amend your Booking

4.1 If you need to cancel or amend your Booking you must write to us or email us as soon as possible. A cancellation or amendment will not take effect until we receive confirmation from you. The cancellation policy (“Cancellation Policy”) applies to your Booking and Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd will refund any amounts due to you in accordance with the agreed Cancellation Policy.

4.2 In the event that:

(a) Any Balance required from you is not paid in accordance with the timeframes set out in the Cancellation Policy; or

(b) You do not arrive at the property within 24 hours of your arrival time without notifying us,

then we shall be entitled to treat your Booking as being cancelled by you and the Cancellation Policy shall apply.

 

5. If we cancel or amend your Booking

5.1 We would not expect to have to make any changes to your Booking once it is agreed between you and us, but sometimes problems occur and we do have to make alterations or, very occasionally, cancel Bookings.

5.2 If this does happen, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably practical and inform you of the cancellation or the change to your Booking. If we cancel your Booking, Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd will refund you any fees you have already paid to Saint Pancras Chapel. However, we will not be liable to refund you for any fees you may have paid to any third party in connection with your holiday (including, without limitation, fees for travel, entertainment, activities or insurance).

 

6. Cancellation Policy

6.1 A booking can be cancelled in writing with a full refund up to 60 days before the arrival date; thereafter, no refund will fall due for cancellations. (Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd strongly advises guests take out comprehensive travel insurance. If guests choose not to take out comprehensive travel insurance, they accept responsibility for losses they incur due to cancellation.)

6.2 Cancellations may only be made in writing.

6.3 Only the guest who made the booking can effect a cancellation.

6.4 If the Booking and Damage Deposit have not been paid in full 59 days before the Arrival Date, we may – at our discretion – cancel the booking without refund.

 

7. The Property

7.1 You can arrive at the Property after the time specified by us on the Arrival Date for your holiday and you must leave by the time specified by us on the departure date we give you. We will let you know these times in writing in advance of your stay.

7.2 If your arrival will be delayed, you must contact the person whose details are given on the booking confirmation email so that alternative arrangements can be made. If you fail to do so you may not be able to gain access to the Property. If you fail to arrive by midday on the day after the Arrival Date and you do not advise the contact of your anticipated late arrival we may treat the Booking as having been cancelled by you and we shall be under no obligation to refund you via Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd for fees already paid to us. Please see the Cancellation Policy for further details.

You agree to keep and leave the Property and the furnishings, including items such as kitchen equipment, crockery and glasses clean and in good condition.

8.5 You cannot allow more people to stay in the Property than expressly authorised, nor can you significantly change the makeup of the party during your stay in the Property, nor can you take your pet into the Property unless permitted by us in writing in advance. If you do so, we can refuse to hand over the Property to you, or can require you to leave it. We will treat any of these circumstances as a cancellation of the Booking by you and we shall be under no obligation to refund you for any fees already paid to us in those circumstances. Any refund will be at our sole discretion.

8.6 You agree to allow us or any representative of ours access to the Property at any reasonable time during your stay for the purpose of essential repairs, in an emergency or to ensure you are complying with this Booking Contract.

9.2 If the number of persons occupying does exceed the numbers provided then:

(a) You may be required to pay an additional sum to cover the additional person(s); or

(b) If the maximum capacity for the Property is exceeded, the additional persons will not be permitted to occupy and if they continue to do so, we may enter the Property and require you to vacate the Property.

10.1 You agree not to use the property for any illegal or commercial purpose or to sublet it or otherwise allow anyone to stay in it without agreeing this with Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd.

10.2 We can refuse to allow you into the Property or ask you to leave if we reasonably believe you or anyone you have have invited to the Property is behaving or has behaved illegally or antisocially or that damage has been, is being or is likely to be caused. If we take this step, the Booking shall be cancelled with immediate effect, and no refund to you will be paid.

10.3 You must not hold events (such as parties, celebrations or meetings) at the Property without agreeing this in advance with us. If you do, we can refuse to allow you into the Property or ask you to leave. If we take this step, the Booking shall be cancelled with immediate effect. In such circumstances you will not receive a refund of any monies paid for the Booking and Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd will not be legally responsible or liable in any way to you.

10.4 You must allow us (or any agent or representative) access to the Property at any reasonable time during the Booking. In the event of an emergency or where any problems need resolving quickly and it is not possible to contact you, Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd, its agents or representatives may enter the Property at any time without giving prior notice to you.

 

11. Smoking

11.1 The Property is completely non-smoking. Any smoking in the Property will incur substantial additional cleaning costs for which you will be liable and which Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd will be entitled to deduct from your security deposit.

12.3 You recognise and agree that no part of the Property (including the gardens and grounds) is ‘escape-proof’ for pets, and it is your responsibility to ensure that your pets do not escape from the Property.

 

13. Damage, breakages and loss

13.1 You will be responsible and account to/reimburse Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd for all damage, breakages or loss caused by you or your pets to the Property.

13.2 Where any breakages, damage or loss occurs you should report the same to us as soon as reasonably practicable and where possible before the end of the Hire Period.

13.3 If during the Hire Period we are concerned about the extent of any damage or breakages then we have the right to enter the Property and require you to vacate the Property. If we do take this step then the Booking shall be cancelled with immediate effect and you shall not be entitled to a refund or any compensation for any reason due to the Hire Period coming to an end early.

14.2 Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd shall be entitled to use the Security Deposit:

(a) If during the Hire Period there are any breakages or damage to the Property or any items otherwise need replacing; or

(b) If after you have vacated the Property this requires cleaning beyond what would be reasonably expected.

14.3 If after deducting these costs any part of the Security Deposit remains this shall be returned to you.

 

15. Complaints

15.1 Every effort has been made to ensure that you have an enjoyable and memorable holiday. If however, you have any cause for complaint, it is important that remedial action is taken as soon as possible.

15.2 It is essential that you contact us if any problem arises so that it can be speedily resolved. It is often extremely difficult (and sometimes impossible) to resolve problems properly unless we are promptly notified. Discussion of any criticisms with us whilst you are in residence at the Property will usually enable any shortcomings to be rectified straightaway. In particular, complaints of a transient nature (for example, regarding preparation or heating of the Property) cannot possibly be investigated unless registered whilst you are in residence at the Property.

15.3 If any complaint cannot be resolved during your holiday, you must write to us or email us with full details within 28 days of the end of your Booking.

15.4 For the avoidance of doubt, you shall always contact Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd if you have any complaint in relation to your Booking or the Property.

 

16. Limit of Liability

16.1 Our maximum liability for losses you suffer as a result of us acting in breach of this Booking Contract is strictly limited to the amounts received by us in relation to your Booking. We shall not be liable for any losses which are not a foreseeable consequence of us breaching this Booking Contract. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your Booking is confirmed by us.

16.2 Your Booking is made as a consumer for the purpose of a holiday and you acknowledge that we will not be liable for any business losses howsoever suffered or incurred by you.

16.3 For the avoidance of doubt, Saint Pancras Chapel Ltd shall not be liable to you or responsible for:

(a) any issue between you and us regarding the Booking;

(b) any failure in relation to any payments due to the failure of a payment solution provided by a third party; and

(c) the rejection of any payment of yours by a third party payment solution provider.

16.4 This does not exclude or limit in any way our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation; or for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or limit, or attempt to exclude or limit, our liability.

 

17. Law and Jurisdiction

17.1 This Booking Contract (including any non-contractual obligations arising under or in relation to this Booking Contract) between you and us is governed by the law of England and Wales and we both agree that any dispute, matter or other issue which arises between us will be exclusively dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales.

 

18. Miscellaneous

18.1 You may not transfer your Booking or any rights and responsibilities under this Booking Contract to any other person, without our prior written consent.

18.2 If at any time any part of this Booking Contract is held to be unenforceable for any reason under any applicable law, that part shall be deemed omitted and the enforceability of the remaining parts shall not in any way be affected by that omission.

18.3 This Booking Contract, together with the Cancellation Policy and our confirmation email contain the entire agreement between us and you relating to the Booking and shall supersede any previous agreements, arrangements or discussions between you and us, whether oral or in writing. No representation, undertaking or promise shall be taken to have been given or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between you and us prior to receiving the confirmation email except as expressly stated in this Booking Contract. Neither you nor we shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other upon which that party relied in entering into this Booking Contract (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and that party’s only remedy shall be for breach of contract as provided in this Booking Contract.
