BOOKING CONDITIONS
1.- RESERVATION AND PAYMENT
Only bookings in the name of a person are accepted (henceforth called client), bookings in the name of a company or an association are not accepted. The client and the persons who occupy the property accept the letting contract for a holiday accommodation; it can never be interpreted as a contract for a main residence. All bookings are made with Cala Marquesa Real Estate S.L. as contracting party (hereinafter called ICM) and are subject to the following conditions
1.1- To confirm the booking, a deposit of 40% of the total rent must be paid, at the time of reservation. The balance (60%) must be paid 2 weeks before arrival. Payment can be made by credit card, bank transfer, or cash as long as they do not exceed 1000 euros, thus complying with current regulations. The person who does the bank transfer has to provide the booking number and the name of the person who made the booking.
1.2- If the deposit or the final balance have not been received within the specified time, ICM holds the right to cancel the booking. There is no compromise between ICM and the client until the deposit has been received and the client has received booking confirmation via e-mail. In case of cancellation, please check point 2 “Cancellation charges”.
