Booking Your Accommodation Arrangements
A booking is made with us when a) you ask to book an available holiday accommodation via the Website and b) we issue you with a booking confirmation. A binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as we have issued you with a booking confirmation that will confirm the details of your booking and will be sent to you via email. Upon receipt, if you believe that any details on the confirmation (or any other document) are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes can not be made later and it may harm your rights if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within ten days of our sending it out.
Availability of Arrangements
Our ability to confirm a booking is dependent on the availability of accommodation
deposited by others with RCI Europe and/or other members of the Wyndham Worldwide
group of companies or otherwise procured by us. .We therefore cannot guarantee that
any particular request for an Affiliated Resort, area, travel date, type or size of
accommodation, or otherwise will be met. We will, though, offer you alternative choices
which may be available at the time.
Special Requests
We regret that we are unable to accept, process or action any special requests. Any
such requests (for example for ground floor units or the provision of cots) must be
made direct to the resort which may agree to such requests at its discretion.
Disabilities and Medical Problems
As all bookings take place on line we are unable to accept, process or action any
queries or requests relating to disabilities or medical problems which are made at
the time of booking. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or
disability which may affect your stay, please provide us or the supplier of the resort
you wish to visit with full details before you make your booking so that we can try
to advise you as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements. Acting reasonably,
if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we
will advise you that you should not make your booking. We regret that (as accommodation
is always subject to availability) we cannot accept any liability if you are unable
to find suitable accommodation or if you choose not to contact us as set out in this
paragraph.
Insurance
Adequate travel insurance is vital and we strongly advise that you arrange such insurance
before travelling. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will
not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover
would otherwise have been available.
Accuracy and Prices
We endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices on this website are accurate, however, we reserve the right to alter any of our advertised accommodation prices at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed accommodation. You must check the current price and all other details relating to the accommodation that you wish to book before your booking is confirmed.
We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold accommodation at any time.
We also reserve the right to update and alter details relating to and descriptions
of accommodation on the Website at any time. Accommodation that has not been booked
may be removed from sale at any time.
The price of your confirmed accommodation may be subject to changes arising from government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes; and to changes in currency exchange rates either or both of which may result in a variation of your accommodation price.
Changes by You and Travel
We regret that we are generally unable to make changes to bookings once they have
been made except as set out. Please therefore ensure that all details are correct
and that it is possible for you to travel on the relevant dates before you make your
booking.
You are responsible for making your own travel arrangements.
Change of Dates/Transfer of Booking
We will arrange for a transfer of your booking/ change the date of your booking in
the event that you, your spouse/partner or a close relative of yours begins to suffer
with a severe illness or suffers a severe accident after confirmation of your booking
that prevents travel on the date booked. You will be required to: a) provide documentary
proof by way of valid Doctor's certificate/report before we can authorise a transfer;
b) you, or the transferee must meet all of the terms and conditions of the booking;
and (c) your request must be made at least 48 hours before your planned arrival at
the accommodation. Such requests shall be made by contacting the customer services
number as detailed in your documentation and (d) you may only transfer an original
booking.
We reserve the right (acting reasonably) to determine alternative dates where you
ask for the date of your booking to be changed in accordance with this clause and/or
to provide accommodation at alternative resorts.
Going Home Early
If you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any accommodation
you have not used. If you cut short your arrangements and return home early in circumstances
where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation
provided, we will not offer you any refund for that part of your accommodation not
used, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances,
your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim
is made directly with them.
Cancellation by You
If you or any other member of your party decides to cancel your confirmed booking
you must notify us in writing as soon as you can. Your notice of cancellation will
only take effect when it is received in writing by us at evr@wyndhamworldwide.com.
Since we incur costs in cancelling your arrangements, you will have to pay the applicable
cancellation charges up to the maximum shown below. The cancellation charge detailed
below is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling
excluding any insurance premiums and amendment charges (which are not refundable in
the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling.):-
Period before departure date that the cancellation notice is actually received:
Cancellation Charge:
More than 49 days
€50.00
49-29 days
50% of holiday cost
28-15 days
70% of holiday cost
14-4 days
90% of holiday cost
3 days or less
100% of holiday cost
The cancellation terms applying to products and services not provided by RCI are set
out by the supplier of the product or service concerned.
Occupancy
If one or more member(s) of your holiday party cancel(s) and the occupancy level decreases,
the full price per apartment will nevertheless be payable and no refund will arise.
Insurance
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy,
you may be able to make a claim. You should make enquiries with your insurer in this
regard.
Non Occupation
No refund will be made in the event that you or any member(s) of your party choose
not to make use of your booking and/or if you or any member(s) of your party do not
occupy the accommodation booked.
If we Change or Cancel your Accommodation Booking
Special Note: When two or more consecutive weeks have been booked at an Affliated
Resort you may be required to move from one apartment to another for any second or
any subsequent week.
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your accommodation arrangements,
but occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at
any time. We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your accommodation
arrangements.
Your rights in relation to changes we make depend on whether we make a minor or a major change: Examples of “major changes” include the following when made before departure; a significant change of destination for the whole or a large part of your time away or a change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a large part of your time away. An example of a “minor change” would include a change of accommodation to another of the same standard or classification. We will not have any liability if we make any minor changes.
If we have to make a major change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible
and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of i)
(for major changes) accepting the changed arrangements or (for both major changes
and cancellations) ii) accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable
standard from us, if available. You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of
our offer. If you fail to do so we will assume that you have chosen to accept the
change or alternative booking arrangements.
The above sets out the maximum extent of our liability for changes and cancellations
and we regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses you may incur as a result of change
or cancellation. The above options will not be available if we make a minor change
or if we cancel as a result of your failure to make full payment on time or where
the change(s) or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking
requested by you.
Very rarely, we may be forced by "Force Majeure" (see below) to change or terminate
your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will
be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any from our suppliers), pay you compensation
or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions we will not be
liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected
by any event which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s) in question could not,
even with all due care, foresee or avoid. These events can include, but are not limited
to war, threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity and its consequences or the
threat of such activity, riot, the act of any government or other national or local
authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural
or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, volcanic and geological
events, and adverse weather, sea, ice and river conditions and all similar events
outside our or the supplier(s) concerned's control. Advice from the Foreign Office
to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure. We will follow
the advice given by the Foreign Office.
Our Responsibility for Your Booking
We have a duty to select the accommodation providers with reasonable skill and care.
We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the accommodation, except
in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has
been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the provider with reasonable care
and skill, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens at the accommodation
or any acts or omissions of the provider or others.
We also have no liability in the following situations:
(i) where the accommodation cannot be provided as booked due to circumstances beyond
our control
(ii) where you incur any loss or damage that could not have been foreseen at the time
of your booking, based on the information provided by you.
(iii) where you incur any loss or damage that relates to any business activity.
(iv) where any loss or damage relates to any services which do not form part of our
contract with you.
(v) where services or facilities do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised on our website. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your accommodation supplier or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.
If we are found liable to you on any basis, we limit the amount we have to pay you
to a maximum of twice times the cost of your accommodation. This limit does not apply
to cases involving death or injury.
Building and Development Work
Although you may be on holiday, life will be going on around you as normal. This may
include noise and inconvenience from building or roadworks and traffic. We will notify
you of any building/refurbishment works which may reasonably be considered to seriously
impair the enjoyment of your stay which we are aware of as soon as possible. Please
note public services and facilities may also be affected by maintenance, bad weather
and other similar factors, all of which are beyond our control. We recommend you contact
the local tourist information office at your destination for the latest details.
Complaints
We make every effort to ensure that your accommodation arrangements run smoothly but
if you do have a problem during your stay, please inform the accommodation supplier
immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint is not resolved
locally, please contact us by 0845 608 6135. Failure to do so will affect ours and
the accommodation supplier's ability to investigate your complaint, and will affect
your rights under this contract. If the problem cannot be resolved and you wish to
complain further, you must send formal written notice of your complaint to us at evr.sales@rci.com
or write to us at Endless Vacation rentals, RCI Europe, Haylock House, Kettering Venture
Park, Kettering, Northants, NN15 6EY, United Kingdom. within 28 days of the end of
your stay, giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please
keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify
your concerns and speed up our response to you.
Guest Behaviour
You must comply with the Affiliated Resort's rules and by-laws. If in our opinion
or in the opinion of any hotel manager or any other person in authority, your behaviour
or that of any member of your party is causing or is likely to cause distress, danger
or annoyance to any third party or damage to property, we reserve the right to terminate
your accommodation arrangements with us immediately. In the event of such termination
our liability to you and/or your party will cease and you and/or your party will be
required to leave your accommodation immediately. We will have no further obligations
to you and/or your party. No refunds for lost accommodation will be made and we will
not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of termination. You and/or your
party may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and
we will hold you and each member of your party jointly and individually liable for
any damage or losses caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any
such damage or losses must be paid directly to the accommodation supplier prior to
departure from the accommodation. If you fail to make payment, you will be responsible
for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result
of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you.
We cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour of other individuals who
have no connection with your booking arrangements or with us.
Passport, Visa and Immigration Requirements and Health Formalities
It is your responsibility to check and fulfill the passport, visa, health and immigration
requirements applicable to your accommodation booking. You must check requirements
for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates
and your own doctor as applicable. Requirements do change and you must check the up
to date position in good time before departure.
Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your
return date. If your passport is in its final year, you should check with the Embassy
of the country you are visiting.
Special conditions apply for travel to the USA, and all passengers must have individual
machine readable passports. Please check with your US Embassy.

because you have not complied with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or
health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses
which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any passport, visa, immigration
requirements or health formalities.
Please note that you are responsible for making your own travel arrangements.

respects by English law. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which
arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or booking will be dealt
with by the Courts of England and Wales only.

about resorts, including without limitation available information about facilities,
amenities and services, published by us is based on information obtained from the
relevant resort. You should be aware that facilities, amenities and services provided
