Rental Terms for Guests

By booking through Your.Rentals guests agree to act in accordance with our Terms of Use

Last updated 17 November, 2021.

 

Your.Rentals is a short-term rentals service provided by Your.Rentals A/S.

This Agreement defines the terms and conditions (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”) for Guests when booking rental properties offered by Your.Rentals for rental on third party websites (“Sales Channels”).

By making a booking, you (“Guest”) are entering into an agreement with the owner or licensed rental agent of the rental property (“Property Manager”). YOUR.RENTALS acts as an intermediary between you and the Property Manager and shall be only liable as such. Where reference in these booking conditions is made to YOUR.RENTALS taking an action, that action is taken on behalf of the Property Manager.

The booking of rental properties shall always be subject to these Rental Terms, which, together with the Booking Receipt form an agreement between you and the Property Manager. Any amendments to the Rental Terms shall only be valid if they are made in writing. If you choose to order or buy additional services or products from the Property Manager, or should you be provided with any additional services or products not included in the Rental Terms, such as transfers from the airport, entrance to a tourist attraction or similar, these additional services or products will represent a separate agreement between you and the Property Manager of the rental property or the facilitator of the service/product.

Upon confirmation of your booking, you will receive by email a Booking Receipt which contains travel directions and contact details of the Property Manager to arrange check-in and key collection.

1. Rental Period

The booking receipt contains information regarding the time at which the rental property is ready for check-in on the first day and check-out on the final day. The key will only be provided if the full rent has been paid in accordance with the booking conditions and upon presentation of the booking receipt and valid photo ID.

2. Guests

2.1 Age of Guests

When booking a rental property, the Guest making the booking must be at least 21 years old.

Youth groups, meaning parties of 4 persons or more who are primarily under 21 years of age must notify the Property Manager that they are a youth group at the time of booking. The Property Manager shall be entitled to reject a group before or upon check-in if such notification is not made.

2.2 Number of Guests

At any time, the rental property and the grounds of the property may be occupied by no more than the maximum number of Guests stated on the booking receipt. Children between 2 and 12 years old is counted towards your Number of guests (guest maximum), while Infants (under 2 years of age) is not counted toward your guest maximum. If you have paid for additional Guests, then the maximum Guests is the sum total of maximum Guests, excluding infants, plus paid for additional Guests.

If the house or the property is occupied by more than the maximum number of Guests allowed, the Property Manager shall be entitled to request the additional people to vacate the rental property without notice. If the Guest does not comply with this request within 12 hours, the Property Manager shall be entitled to terminate the rental agreement with immediate effect and to oblige all occupants to vacate the rental property without further notice and with no refund.

3. Bookings and Payments

3.1 Instant Bookings

When your payment is accepted for a property on Instant Booking, the booking shall be immediately “confirmed” and binding.

3.2 Request Bookings

Some rental properties are available on Request Booking where it will be stated that “the Property Manager requests 24 hours to confirm your booking”. In such a case, your payment card will be authorised for the full booking amount for a period of up to 24 hours. If the Property Manager accepts your booking request, your card will be charged and the booking shall thereafter be “confirmed” and binding. If the Property Manager declines your booking request, the payment authorisation on your card will be immediately canceled. Depending upon your bank, this payment authorisation may be removed from your account immediately or it may take up to 7 days.

3.3 Payment Instalments

Depending upon the payment policy of the Property Manager, the payment policy of the website where you made your booking and the number of days before check-in, you may be required to pay the full amount to confirm your booking, or you may be offered to pay in two instalments.

When making payment by instalments, your card will be charged the first instalment upon booking and the second instalment will automatically be charged to the same card at a time before your check-in date. The due date for your second instalment is determined by the cancellation policy of the Property Manager and communicated to you at the time of booking. In the event that we cannot charge your card the second instalment amount, we will notify you so that you can ensure we can charge your card. In the event that we are still unable to charge your card after repeated attempts, your booking will be cancelled and your deposit forfeited according to the cancellation policy applied to your booking.

Your.Rentals or the website where you made your booking will securely store your card details at the time of booking in order to charge the second instalment. Your.Rentals is a PCI DSS certified merchant and uses a world-class payment processor to securely store your card details. Your card details are never exposed nor stored on Your.Rentals servers.

3.4 Booking Receipt

When your booking has been confirmed by the Property Manager, either by way of Instant Booking or by the Property Manager’s acceptance of your Request Booking, YOUR.RENTALS will send to you by email a unique confirmation page for your booking (“Booking Receipt”). This confirmation page contains important information such as your Booking reference number, contact details for the Property Manager, exact address of the property, travel directions and optional extras and services that you may order from the Property Manager.

3.5 Rates, Taxes and Currency

Unless otherwise stated, all prices are in Euro (EUR) and payments for bookings will be made in Euro (EUR). Some third party websites and sales channels may convert the price into your local currency, however when the payment is processed by YOUR.RENTALS it will be charged to your card in Euro (EUR).

The rate charged includes all sales taxes and VAT. However some localities require the Property Manager to collect “tourist taxes” which are shown when you make your booking and on your Booking Receipt.

Should you be required to pay the Property Manager upon check-in for tourist taxes or for optional services that you have ordered, you will be required to pay for these in the local currency.

3.6 Payments for optional services

It may be possible to order optional services from the Property Manager from the Booking Receipt page. If you place an order for optional services, e.g. a boat, extra bed, airport transfers or internet, directly with the Property Manager and beyond the agreement which has been entered into with YOUR.RENTALS as the intermediary, you may be charged an additional amount which should be settled directly with the Property Manager. 

4. Cancellations

4.1 Cancellation terms

The Cancellation terms, including your entitlement to a refund when cancelling your booking, form part of these Rental Terms and Conditions. The cancellation terms are provided prior to booking on the booking details page and also after booking on your Booking Receipt page.

4.2 Cancelling your booking

Cancellation can only be made by you from the Booking Receipt page, where you must click the Cancel Booking button and successfully submit the requested information on the cancel booking form. Your cancellation shall only apply from the time at which this is successfully submitted.

Your right to a refund when cancelling your booking is determined by the cancellation terms to which you agreed when making your booking. The refund amount to which you are entitled, if any, may be based upon submitting your cancellation at least a certain number of days before check-in. The check-in time is taken to be the earliest check-in time as specified on your Booking Receipt regardless of whether you have agreed another check-in time with the Property Manager, and the check-in time zone is the timezone of the Property, and not the time zone in which you reside.

If you need to cancel a booking due to Extenuating Circumstances (Force Majeure), you are required to provide documentation as proof that such circumstances apply. Your.Rentals is under no obligation to provide refunds without adequate documentation.

In the event that you are entitled to receive a full or partial refund, YOUR.RENTALS will send your refund to the same payment card that you used to pay for your booking. Refunds are processed within 24 hours of cancellation and may take 5-10 bank days to reach your bank account.

4.3 Cancellation by Property Manager

In the event that the Property Manager cancels your Booking, you will receive a full refund. Refunds are processed within 24 hours of cancellation and may take 5-10 bank days to reach your bank account.

In case of a Problem, you shall grant the Property Manager a reasonable time limit to remedy the Problem or repair any defect or damage.

In the event that you are not able to find a suitable resolution directly with the Property Manager, YOUR.RENTALS may choose to mediate a solution.

The Problem is considered resolved when you click the “Problem solved” button from the Booking Receipt page, or when you tell YOUR.RENTALS that the problem is solved by email.
