Complaints It is our policy to endeavour at all times to satisfy our clients and to this end we ask that should there be any complaint we have the opportunity to rectify any problems with the property or any service which we may have arranged on your behalf. We would ask you to follow the following procedure, in the unlikely event of a complaint or problem. First of all you should contact the local agent, key holder or representative. At the same time we would ask you to advise the owners in the UK so that we are immediately made aware of and are able to assist with the complaint/problem. On your return from holiday, should you feel that your complaint/problem was unresolved, we would ask you to write to us giving us all the relevant details, within two weeks of your return home. Failure to observe this procedure will make it difficult or impossible for us to rectify the problem at the time of its occurrence and therefore we regret that we will be unable to accept any liability regarding any complaint or claim which is not notified in accordance with this. We would draw your attention to the fact that although we are very sympathetic to any instances of unforeseen building or construction work which may occur in the vicinity of your holiday home, this is completely outside our control and although we will try our best to help you, we have no ability to stop any such work or noise and therefore cannot accept liability. 12. Force Majeure We apologise but regret that we are unable to accept any responsibility or liability for any problems or events which we, or our agent, supplier or sub contractor, could not, even with all due care and attention possibly foresee or avoid. These items may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, flood, fire or disease and all similar events outside our control. 13. Website This website is constantly being upgraded, altered and amended. Thus it is not a brochure which has a beginning and end date, therefore it is possible that prices and information may have changed by the time you decide to book a holiday. We therefore emphasise that it is essential that at the time of booking that you check all details and verify all prices of accommodation. Facilities and local attractions are features which are intended solely as information and we are therefore unable to accept any liability for these being unavailable during your holiday period. All distances and measurements mentioned in the descriptions of properties are approximate. 14. Personal Safety and Safety Standards Please be aware that when travelling abroad you should take greater care than normal when you are visiting unknown destinations. As with all tourist areas, unfortunately, opportune thieves sometimes operate. Therefore we advise you not to carry unnecessarily large amounts of cash with you and to ensure that handbags, wallets and other receptacles are always secured. When parking and leaving any vehicle all articles should be locked in the boot and covered so as to be totally out of sight. We cannot accept liability for any death, injury or loss sustained due to the non-observance of your own safety. Please note that safety standards apply to Spain and may on occasion not be up to the normal expected standard of safety required in the UK. You should take care to check the safe condition of items such as electric plugs, sockets and switches etc. We would ask you to report any defective item to the local agent and also to notify us, however we regret we cannot be liable for any death, injury or loss due to the use of such defective item. |
