These terms are deemed to be in effect the moment a booking deposit is received.


1. To reserve the property the client must complete and return the online booking request, we will then hold your dates for one week until payment of the initial non-refundable deposit of £300 is received by transfer or by sterling cheque. Following receipt of the booking request form and deposit, Ski Diamond will send a confirmation deposit receipt and balance invoice. This is the formal acceptance of the booking.


2. The balance of the rental, together with the security deposit (see clause 3) is payable not less than 56 days before the start of the rental period. If payment is not received by the due date, Ski Diamond reserves the right to give notice in writing that the rental is cancelled. The client will remain liable to pay the balance. Reservations made within 56 days of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking.


3. A separate security deposit is required, in case of damage to the property or its contents, the amount of the security deposit is £500. However the sum reserved by this clause shall not limit the client's liability to Ski Diamond. The £500 damage security deposit is best paid by cheque as cheques are held on file and not cashed unless there is verified damage (normally by photograph). If payment of the damage security deposit is by bank transfer the sum will leave the account of the renter but will be refunded within 14 days of the end of the rental period unless there is damage.


4. Clients must notify all pre-existing damage upon arrival to Ski Diamond, phone photos can be forwarded by email.

7. The rental period shall commence at 4.00 p.m. on the first day and finish at 10.00 am on the last day. Ski Diamond shall not be obliged to offer the accommodation or any of its facilities before the time stated and the client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated.


8. The maximum number to reside in the property must not exceed 4 adults, or 5 persons where the 5th is a child.


9. The client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. No final clean is included in our prices therefore Ski Diamond reserve the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the client leaves the property in an unacceptable condition.
