Essential Information
Flight arrangements
Your contract for flight seats will be with the ATOL/ABTA holder that you have booked flights with and subject to their booking conditions, details of which will be sent to you by the operator. We do not have any involvement in flight arrangements.
Television and Internet Access
Not all properties will have Satellite/Cable television and where available it may not include access to all channels. In some instances there may be a very limited number of English speaking channels. Not all properties will have access to the internet, and where it is available it may not be at the same speed/service you are used to at home. If internet access is available it is generally assumed that the customer will bring their own laptop and the internet usage is subject to a ‘fair use’ policy. If the supplier considers you have exceeded the acceptable fair use policy, you may be charged for the internet usage over and above those limits. This may be deducted from your security deposit. Please note that downloading movies, television programmes and/or games may be considered excessive data usage and subject to additional charges.
Mechanical Equipment
As in your own home, we are reliant on machines and equipment for the functionality and running of a property. Whilst owners provide necessary items, inevitably things can malfunction, or at worst break down and need replacing.
We would ask our clients to advise the local office or house managers immediately if they become aware of such concerns that staff may not have noticed, or addressed. Whilst every effort will be made by the local office to find the relevant supplier to repair/replace such items as quickly as possible, allowances should be made for delays in acquiring parts or replacing such equipment.
Maid Service
Maid service is usually between two and five times per week excluding public holidays. The maids will generally make the beds, clean the bathrooms, sweep the floors and wipe surfaces. The washing of dishes and laundering of clothes is not included. Rubbish removal, is generally not part of the maid service.
Air-Conditioning
Whether the cost of any air-conditioning is included in the villa price, or paid for as a supplement, the units must only be used while you are in the property, with all windows and doors kept closed. Under no circumstances must the units be left on continuously while the property is unoccupied. Where the air-conditioning is payable extra, should you elect to use this facility it must be paid for at the advertised rate which is not negotiable.
Check In/Out Times
Access to accommodation is usually after 4pm on the day of arrival and clients must depart their accommodation before 10am on the day of departure. Whilst we will do our best endeavours to accommodate early/late check outs unfortunately it cannot be guaranteed.
Insects
The warm summer months inevitably attract insects such as ants and wasps. The best way of deterring insects such as ants and wasps, or indeed rodents such as mice, is to ensure that no food is left accessible, and crumbs are always swept up from terraces after an al fresco meal. By making sure that food is put away and rubbish regularly removed daily, you will be helping to keep the property free of unwelcome visitors.
Baby Cots and Extra Beds
Most of our villas can provide one baby cot and/or one extra bed. Please check with us should this be required. It should be noted that the extra bed would be of the folding 'camp bed' style. Baby cots are usually of the portable 'travel cot' style. We recommend that you take your own cot linen for your baby's comfort and hygiene.
Villa Check-out
Upon departure from the property it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all keys and remote controls for gates, doors and air-conditioning units are left at the property.
Swimming Pools
In low season months swimming pools may have low water temperature. Therefore if you are booking in low season and water temperature is important to you, we recommend that you select a villa with a heated swimming pool and that you pre-book this facility and arrange for the water heating to be initiated at least 24 hours in advance.
Please note that swimming pools carry their own inherent risks. Upon arrival at the property you and all members of your party must take time to familiarise yourselves with the location, layout, and depths of any swimming pool(s) at the property. Please take note of any pool warning signs, depth markings and other instructions for use, which may be displayed. Young children must not be allowed to wander unaccompanied in the grounds of any property where there is a swimming pool and must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Any gyms, Jacuzzis' and hot tubs are used at the sole discretion of the party. Children under 16 are forbidden to enter and use these Facilities.
The pool sizes in our descriptions are approximate and for guidance only. Some pools are irregular shaped and have been measured at the longest and widest points. Pools are maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. A pool net is provided, and it is normal custom for clients to remove any debris such as leaves and twigs.
Occasionally, due to extensive use of the pool, water in the ears can cause an ear infection, especially with children. This does not necessarily mean the pool does not have the correct level of chlorine but it should immediately be checked out. A simple precautionary measure is to dry your ears well after you leave the pool to ensure you remove any trapped water that may become infected.
If you have any concerns about your pool, contact the property representative or our offices immediately.
Some pools now have salt-water filtration systems as opposed to using chlorine.
Please ensure that the property that you book is suitable for your requirements regarding children and non-swimmers.
For many people the swimming pool is an essential part of holidaying, but remember that, misused, it can be dangerous. However, by applying just a few simple common sense rules you can be sure of thoroughly enjoying your time in the pool.
· Make sure you know the depths of the pool
· Please observe our strict no diving policy
· Do not run around the pool side, this especially applies to children with wet feet. Some areas may be slippery when wet.
· Do not go out of your depth and know your own limits.
· Beware of dangerous surfaces, drainage channels slippery tiles or raised edges.
· Always supervise children and non-swimmers in and around the pool area.
· Avoid swimming if you have been drinking alcohol, especially late at night. Do not swim within 1 hour of eating - it can be fatal.

Liability
In consideration of the fact that the Company acts only as a booking agent, the Company accepts no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the arrangements and in particular, accepts no liability for any loss, personal injury/illness or death however incurred. Although the Company uses all reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of all information provided and the quality and facilities of the villas, we cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any problems that occur while guests occupy the villa of their choice. All information has been provided in good faith and no liability is accepted whatsoever by the Company for any misrepresentation of villa material or accommodation.

Payments
Payments can be made securely by either Visa credit/debit card or bank transfer. Card payments carry a 2% processing fee.
Deposit
A deposit payment for all villas and products including any promotional offers is required at the time of booking, once a booking request has been confirmed by the Company. If the booking is made within 7 weeks of the date of arrival then full payment is required immediately. Booking confirmation together with driving directions for the villa will be sent by email or if requested, by post. Where an initial deposit is paid, the balance must be paid within 6 weeks of the commencement date of the booking, whether demanded by us or not. If this is not paid within 10 days of it being due, then we reserve the right to cancel the booking without any refund.
Provisional bookings will only be held for up to 48 hours pending receipt of a cleared deposit or full payment as may be required. Bookings will not be guaranteed until we have received your full payment as required.
Cancellation by you
You or any member of your party may cancel your booking at any time however no refund will be made for any monies paid already paid. In certain cases any loss, if incurred involuntarily, may be covered by insurance that you may have taken out.
Cancellation by the property owner/s
If deemed necessary the Owner reserves the right to withdraw or cancel the property booking. In this unlikely event you will be offered the choice of renting another property through the Company (subject to availability) with the price difference payable/refundable as appropriate, or of receiving a full refund of all monies paid to the Company. No compensation is payable by the Company or the Owner for any other losses incurred as a result of a cancelled booking. It is therefore a condition of booking that customers take out suitable travel insurance to include cancellation cover.
Insurance
The E.C. law dictates that no one should travel without adequate travel insurance. It is a condition of your booking that you take out comprehensive travel insurance as we cannot accept any responsibility for medical expenses, costs of repatriation, loss or damage to possessions, public liability, personal injury or any other costs, losses or damages of the kind which would be covered by a travel insurance policy. It is essential that you have effective holiday insurance cover to ensure losses on flights, other travel and accommodation. None of the aforementioned losses are the responsibility of Sunboundvillas.com
Security Deposits
A security deposit is required to cover the cost of any damages or breakages to, or at the property. We reserve the right to refuse entry to the property should the security deposit not have been paid. For Hotels and resorts with a check-in reception the security deposit will be in the form of a credit card swipe upon arrival.
The cost of any agreed damage caused by you will be deducted from the security deposit and the balance will be returned to you. If the security deposit paid by you is not sufficient to cover the cost of such damage, the owner is entitled to recover any additional costs from you.
Generally we are able to return all or virtually all of a client's security deposit (minus any appropriate charges) within two weeks of departure. Delays may also arise whilst waiting for estimates for repair of damage. We will endeavour to ensure all security deposits are fully returned within 75 days of departure.
Refunds will be made by either of the following methods: Refund to the card initially used to make the payment or by Bank transfer in GBP or Euro.
In the unlikely event that any dispute as to the amount of final charges to be deducted from the Security Deposit arises, we will, at your request, intervene with the owner to authenticate the claimed damage and mediate the dispute. If we are unable to resolve the dispute we will then put the customers and owner in contact with each other so that they may try and resolve the issue amicably together. Until such time as the dispute is resolved we will continue to hold the deposit monies as agent and will only release them or any part once the dispute has been amicably resolved and we receive written authority to release the agreed funds by both parties.
Access
The owner or their representative has a right to access the property during your stay if urgent maintenance is required. Gardeners and pool maintenance staff may enter the grounds during your stay, normally very early in the morning. Maintenance staff cannot be refused entrance to the villa.
Security & Valuables
Any valuables left at the property are left at your own risk. Neither we nor the Owner are responsible for any loss. When provided, burglar alarms must be activated, safes used and proper care be taken against theft and burglary. It is your responsibility to ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked when leaving the property, or when by the poolside/in the grounds. If theft or damage to the owner’s property occurs through negligence on your part the owner is entitled to seek compensation from you.
Behaviour
You are responsible for keeping the property and all its contents and grounds in the same state of cleanliness, repair and condition as at the commencement of the holiday. You will be responsible for the payment for any breakages, loss or damage to the property caused by you or members of your party. The Owner reserves the right to make deductions from the security deposit (if any) for any extra cleaning, over the number of hours committed to departure cleaning and to claim against you for damage or loss if the cost of which exceeds the security deposit.
The person whose name is on the booking form is responsible for the correct and decent behaviour of all members of the party. Should you or a member of the party not behave in such a manner, the Owner may use their absolute discretion to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation. Neither we nor the Owner will have any further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and neither we nor the Owner will pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.
We act as an agent for the Owner for the private rental of the property. If you intend to organise a function (e.g. party, wedding, cocktail party) at the property, you must seek prior permission from us and the property owner. Additional charges may be applied and/or an increased security deposit may be sought at the Owner’s discretion.
No additional guests are allowed to attend the property for any type of visit/ function (i.e. breakfast, dinner, party, weddings etc.) without the prior written consent. Only the number of guests specified on the booking form are allowed to stay at the property.
In the event that any unauthorised event/function is held at the property without the prior written consent, the Owner may use their absolute discretion to terminate the property rental. In this situation, you will be required to leave the accommodation. Neither we nor the Owner will have any further responsibility toward you including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and neither we nor the Owner will pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination. Any security deposit paid will be forfeited. In the event of no security deposit being held or insufficient amount of security deposit being held, we will be entitled to charge you a fee at our discretion.
Complaints
Sunboundvillas is a marketing agency for owners with holiday rental properties. We are not a key handling or management company and details of who you should contact in relation to any questions or problems whilst on holiday should be referred to the relevant owner/management agency. You will be given the full details of this entity when booking.
If you have a problem whilst on holiday, this must be reported to the villa owner/manager immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint. For that reason we accept no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the property and accept no liability for any loss, personal injury/illness or death however incurred.
We are however very passionate about guest and owner experiences and use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that all information provided is accurate including the quality, features and facilities of the properties.
We do not accept any liability for any problems that occur while guests occupy the property of their choice however we will support owners/ companies and guests to reach mutual agreements should it ever be necessary.
If you wish to complain when you return home, write to the owner. Please also send your complaint letter to us as we would be grateful for all feedback. In certain circumstances, depending on our agreement with the owner, we may be able to mediate between you and the supplier in order to help resolve the complaint; however we cannot accept any responsibility or liability for the complaint as we act as agent only.
Neither we, nor the Owner can be held responsible for noise or disturbance originating beyond the boundaries of the property or which is beyond the Owner's control. In the event that a source of reasonably obvious noise has been in existence prior to your arrival and we are informed of this, we will contact you to inform you of the disturbance.
We cannot be held responsible for the breakdown of mechanical equipment such as pumps, boilers, swimming pool filtration systems, air conditioning units, nor for the failure of public utilities such as water, gas and electricity.
Pets
Generally, no pets are allowed at properties except with prior written consent.
Occupancy
Only the persons stated on the completed Booking Form and the number of persons including children stated in the booking form may use the property unless otherwise agreed in advance by us and the Owner. The maximum numbers of people, including infants allowed at the property may not be exceeded unless pre-agreed with us in writing. The Owner has the right to terminate hire without prior notice and without refund or compensation if the numbers are exceeded.
Property Descriptions
Although the Company makes every effort to ensure that advertised descriptions and photographs are accurate and correct, it does not own any of the villas and therefore cannot control or prevent changes. Although changes to villas advertised are infrequent, the Company reserves the right to change the description of any villa or service at any time, in which case we will endeavour to notify you of all changes before commencement of the booking date, if it is practical to do so. No compensation will be payable by the Company in such cases. No claims will be accepted for costs or additional expenses incurred as a result of any changes.
Distances given are approximate.
Breakages & Cleanliness
Our accommodation is made available for letting on the understanding that the property will be left clean and tidy at the time of checkout. The customer will be held responsible for any damage or breakages to the property, caused by the customer and in the event of such occurrence, the incident must be reported to the villa owner or their representative immediately and appropriate compensation made. Customers are not permitted to move any furniture or equipment without prior written consent from ourselves or the villa owner. In the event of such permission being granted, it is the customer’s responsibility to return the same to its original position before checkout. Under no circumstances must any property for use inside the property, be moved outside.
Building Work
Any building work which may commence in the local area is outside of our control, and we cannot be held responsible for any resulting disturbance. However, should we become aware of any building work which may reasonably be considered to adversely affect the enjoyment of your holiday we will notify you as soon as possible, and wherever possible, will offer you the opportunity to transfer to an alternative property at the advertised price.
Health & Safety
Our customer safety and well being is of paramount importance.
Please note that it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any property rental are provided which apply to those services and not those of the UK and Ireland. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the same as at home and may sometimes be lower.
Upon arrival at the property please familiarise yourself with the safety features and layout of the property. In particular if you are travelling with children, please take the time to point out to them any areas in which they should take particular care such as the pool or on balconies. If you should have any questions or concerns in this regard, please contact the local property representative.
Care should always be taken, especially round the pool area with supervision being given to children at all times. Diving is not permitted in any of our properties.
Despite our efforts and advice given, it is ultimately your responsibility for the care and safety of the members of your group.
Many of the pools in the area are of the infinity design. These are pleasing on the eye as the water blends into the sky. However please note that beyond the pool boundary there is often a large drop.
Many terrace walls are 90cms to 1 metre high, whilst others may be less. There may also be roof terraces with low walls. If you have any concerns about the safety of the property please contact the local representative immediately. Any genuine problems will be dealt with as quickly as is locally possible, if feasible.
Many single storey villas have several steps inside them and gardens may have some drops or slopes. Several properties have staircases that can be steep and occasionally low head heights.
The ground surface inside and outside the villa may be wet due to the maid cleaning them on arrival, departure and any other day when the maid service is carried out. Be aware of the ground condition at all times and be cautious by taking the necessary steps to ensure your safety and especially that of children and the elderly. At other times, ground areas open to the elements or subject to dousing in water from the swimming pool may be wet and caution is required at all times.
In the event of a fire you should immediately vacate the property ensuring all members of your party have been evacuated and are safe. After accounting for the members of your party call the emergency services and our offices.
Special Requests
If you wish to make a special request, you must do so prior to your booking commencing. We will try to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier but we cannot guarantee that requests will be met. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not under any circumstances be accepted by us as failure to meet our contractual obligations.
Medical Requests
If you or any member of your party has a medical condition or impaired mobility issue that may affect your stay then please advise us in writing prior to confirming your booking so that we may advise on the suitability of the property. If we are not provided with this information we cannot be held responsible if the property you select is not deemed suitable by you.
