Once We have received a 50% deposit from You, and subject to availability, Your booking will be secured until 7 days before the booking date, at which time the balance of payment is due. Payment of the balance by the due date will secure Your booking until the booking date.
You, the Hirer, agree to indemnify the Seller in full against all losses, costs, damages, charges, and expenses incurred by Us as a result of a cancellation by You.
If You do not pay Us the balance by the due date, We will be entitled to regard the booking as canceled and no refund will be payable.

The Hirer is not permitted to cancel this agreement except with the written consent of the Seller. Subject to the Seller giving permission for the contract to be canceled, a refund of the booking fee less the deposit will be payable, provided that the cancellation is more than 21 days before the booking.
The Contract is between the Seller and the Hirer as principals and may not be assigned by the Hirer without the express written consent of the Seller.
These Terms and Conditions form the whole agreement between the Seller and the Hirer and shall not be removed or varied in any way.
If the Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, it shall not be liable where such default is due to any act of God, war, strike, lockout, industrial action, fire, flood, drought, tempest or other events beyond the reasonable control of the Seller. In such circumstances, the Seller shall give notice to the Hirer where possible, and be released from performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent the event of supervening impossibility prevents or restricts the Seller’s performance.
