Please read these terms and conditions carefully before making booking. They may be amended from time to time but apply to all reservations made using our platform. By making a reservation with us, you are deemed to have read and accepted them. In these terms and conditions, any reference to ‘us’, ‘we’ or ‘the Company’ shall mean The Apartment Network Limited and ‘the Client’ shall mean you/the Client/the agency.
Scope of our service
Through our website and other media, we provide a platform for booking serviced apartments. Providers of serviced apartment accommodation can advertise their accommodation on our platform which can be used for making reservations. From the point that your booking is made, you will enter into a direct and legally binding contractual relationship with the relevant apartment operator at which your reservation is made.
When rendering our services, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by serviced apartment providers who are fully responsible for updating all rates, availability, specifications and other information which is displayed upon our platform. Whilst we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our services, we will not verify the accuracy of the data provided to us by the serviced apartment provider. We cannot therefore guarantee that the information is accurate, complete or correct and we cannot be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our website or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information (including rates and availability) displayed on our website or any other medium we supply to you. Our website does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating of any accommodation made available.
You may not resell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, products or services available on our website for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.
Our reservation service is provided free of charge to you, but we shall be entitled to accept payment in respect of the duration of any reservation.
Booking procedure
Unless otherwise agreed, we require full payment for bookings with a duration of 30 days or less at the time of booking. In addition, a security deposit or credit guarantee may be required to cover additional costs, together with written confirmation of your booking request, which can be sent by e-mail or website link.
For longer stays (over 30 days), payments will be required monthly in advance.
Payment
We reserve the right to cancel any reservation if the requested payment does not reach us within the agreed dates.
We accept payment via credit and debit card, virtual credit card, bank transfer, wire and CHAPS. Please ask us for our bank account details if payment is to be made by the latter. All bank transfer fees will be applicable to the client.
If you are making a payment by bank transfer, wire or CHAPS, please ensure that you include your booking reference when making the payment and please send us a copy of the payment confirmation.
Where the Client pays via international bank transfer, a surcharge may be added to the Agreed Price which the Client will be responsible for paying. The amount of the surcharge will be specified in the Booking.
The Client shall not have any right of set-off against, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any amount payable by the Client under this Agreement.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, for every full or part day the Apartment has not been returned beyond the agreed date of return, the Company may charge a full day’s hire at current hire rates for each part or full day the Apartment is not returned. Payment of any such charge shall be made upon demand and the Client authorises the Company to take such further charges from any credit or debit card used to make the Booking or the Client will pay by another means.
The Client shall pay on demand interest charges (both before and after any judgment) on any sum payable by the Client to the Company under this Agreement and not received by the due date at the annual rate of 5 per cent above the Bank of England base rate in force at the time calculated on a daily basis and compounded on a monthly basis from the due date for payment until payment is received by the Company.
Amendments
Any amendments must be sent as a written request via email. All amendments are subject to cancellation policies.
International reservations
All rates are presented in Sterling Pounds. If there is an adverse fluctuation in the exchange rate, we reserve the right to impose a surcharge and will advise you accordingly in writing.
Owner/operator terms and conditions
It is your responsibility to check the terms and conditions that apply to any reservation in respect of your chosen apartments as they will vary from apartment to apartment. These terms and conditions will apply to your reservation and your stay at the relevant apartment and you must comply with them.
Cancellations
Cancellation charges vary from property to property – it is your responsibility to check the terms that apply to your chosen apartment. If it is necessary to cancel your reservation, please give us written notice of such cancellation as soon as possible, and provided that such cancellation complies with the cancellation policy applicable to your chosen apartment, we will refund your deposit.
If any cancellation you make does not comply with the cancellation policy applicable to your chosen apartment, you will be liable for the full cost of the booking. A refund may be made at the discretion of the apartment’s owner or operator but neither they nor we are under any obligation to do so. No refunds will be in the event of a failure to arrive, any late arrival or any early departure. Clients are recommended to take out adequate travel insurance.
Security deposit
On arrival, guests may/shall be required to provide either a credit card imprint or a cash deposit to the owner/operator of the relevant apartment. Any breakages, damage or additional charges incurred during the stay will be deducted from the deposit or billed to the card for which an imprint has been taken. All charges must be settled in full before departure.
Arrival/departure times
Please note the check-in and check-out times for your apartment. If you require an early check-in and/or late check-out, we recommend making a reservation for the apartment for the previous and/or following night (as relevant).
