They apply equally to you, the Group Leader, as to all guests staying in the property and visitors you invite to the Property, including staff, friends, and service providers (Occupants).
Your booking concerns a lodging in a furnished property with services to be delivered by Dentdelion Sarl and such other third party supplier(s) as may be requested.
All bookings are governed by a standard check-in time to the property on the day of arrival at 4pm and a check-out at 10am on the day of departure. Early arrivals and late departures will be accommodated where possible only if there is no back-to-back booking in the property on that day and must be agreed in writing prior to arrival.

Unless otherwise agreed, if you do not comply with the check-out time of 10am on the day of departure or otherwise agreed with a member of the Bramble Ski sales team, we reserve the right to withhold your security deposit and charge an amount to it equal to one days extra rental pro-rata.

Any guests under 18 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult and will be unable to check-in to the property without one.

2. Deposits and Confirmation

Any booking will be valid and confirmed only upon receipt of:

    • (i) a properly completed and signed Booking Form (or a booking form of an authorised agent of Dentdelion Sarl). The signatory must be over 18 years of age, present at the check in and a resident at the chalet during the rental.

OR

  • (iii) if the Booking is made less than 12 weeks prior to arrival, payment of 100% of the booking price.
Your receipt of the provisional Booking Form constitutes our provisional offer to book the chalet. If we do not receive the duly completed and signed booking form within 24 hours, and relevant payment within three working days of receipt of the booking contract, our provisional offer will expire and it may cancel your provisional booking. In this instance, we may offer the chalet to a new party.
Dentdelion Sarl reserve the right to cancel a booking until such time that the above conditions are met.
Receipt by Dentdelion Sarl of the deposit payment confirms the booking and you hereby agree to these Booking documents which are legally binding.
When the signed Booking Form and payment has been received, we will send a revised Booking Form showing receipt of the booking payment and the contract then exists between you and Dentdelion Sarl, and this contract in all circumstances is governed by these booking conditions.
In respect of all bookings, a security deposit is required by Dentdelion Sarl (the security deposit for each property is outlined on the Bramble Ski pricing page https://www.brambleski.com/availability/) against any breakage, damage, or deterioration to the Property or any adjacent property (please see SECURITY AND SERVICES DEPOSIT paragraph 5 below ) caused during the rental period.

3. Balance Payment

Full payment of the balance as shown on your Booking Form is due 12 weeks prior to your arrival. If the payment is not received at this point, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and levy cancellation charges as detailed below. Should the balance be received after the date outlined on the booking form, the amount due shall be subject to an interest of 7% p.a.

4. Payment Methods

When due, deposit and balance payments can be made by: (a) bank transfer, (b) Visa/Mastercard, (c) Debit Card. Details will accompany your booking form. There is no surcharge for Visa, Mastercard and Debit Card payments. Please note that we are unable to accept American Express payments.

5. Security and Service Deposit

In the case of all catered, self-catered, and accommodation only bookings, you will be asked to pay a security deposit to cover any damage caused to the Property. You will be liable for any breakages, damage, or deterioration to the Property, adjacent properties or Bramble Ski property during your stay caused by you or any member of the party, your employees, or visitors to the property. These costs will be deducted from the security deposit. If the damages are greater than that of the deposit, you will be responsible for these costs. We recommend that you ensure that your insurance policy covers accidental damage to the Property and its contents.
The security deposit amount is set for each property and detailed on the pricing page of our website.
In addition, if your booking excludes the cost of food, drink, and other services which we will incur the cost of on your behalf, then a service deposit will also be applied in addition to the security deposit. All additional costs will be charged at cost price plus TVA unless otherwise agreed.
Dentdelion Sarl reserves the right to use the Security & Services deposit to pay for any unpaid invoices on behalf of the guests upon departure from the property.
The Security Deposit and Service Deposit (if required) is due two weeks prior to arrival and will be refundable at the latest one month after your departure, less any costs incurred during your stay or cost of damages. The security deposit may be taken as a credit card authorisation.
You agree to accept full responsibility for the damages caused and the costs incurred unless otherwise agreed in writing. Repayment may be delayed if the costs of any repair have to be determined.
Should you wish to pay the security and services deposit by bank transfer rather than by credit card authorisation, Dentdelion Sarl will not be held responsible for any fluctuation in exchange rate, and the amount returned will be returned in the currency according to where the booking is taking place.
