We will treat these circumstances as a cancellation by you.
You must not allow more people than the Letting Web-site states to stay in the property. If you do, the On-Site Manager/Landlord can refuse to hand over the property to you, or can repossess it. If the Owner does this, we will treat this as you canceling the booking. In these situations you will not receive a refund of any money you have paid for your booking and neither we nor the On-Site Manager/Landlord will be legally responsible to you as a result of this situation (including, for example, any costs or expenses you have to pay due to not being able to stay in the property, such as the cost of finding other accommodation).

Disabilities and medical problems
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability that may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking and give us full details in writing as early as possible before you travel.

Special requests
If you have any special requests, you must let us know when you make a booking and confirm them in writing. Although we will try to pass any reasonable requests on to the Owner/On-Site Manager, we cannot guarantee that any request will be met. Confirmation that we have noted a special request or passed it to the On-Site Manager/Landlord, or of the fact it is shown on any written confirmation or any other document, is not confirmation that the request will be met. If we or the Owner/On-Site Manager fail to meet any special request, it will not mean we or they have broken your contract.
Circumstances beyond the control of the Landlord (Force Majeure)
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions (and in the Terms of Use), neither we nor the Owner shall be liable, either jointly or individually, for any changes, cancellations, effect on your holiday, loss or damage suffered by you or for any failure by us to perform our obligations to you which is due to any event(s) or circumstance(s) beyond our reasonable control ("Force Majeure").

Major changes or cancellations by us or the Owner
Neither we nor the Landlord expect to have to make any changes to your booking, however, sometimes problems happen and bookings have to be changed or cancelled or mistakes in brochures or other details corrected. The On-Site Manager/Landlord has the right to do this. If they do, we, on their behalf, will contact you (by phone if reasonably possible in the case of a significant change or cancellation – we will let you know about minor changes by e-mail or post) as soon as is reasonably practical. We will explain what has happened and let you know about the cancellation or change. You should tell us as soon as is reasonably practical whether you wish to accept any change or wish to cancel the booking. In the unlikely event that you fail to tell us that you wish to accept any change, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In the event of a cancellation or a significant change that is not acceptable to you, we will immediately refund all monies paid to us.
If we have to cancel your booking, neither we nor the On-Site Manager/Landlord shall be liable, jointly or individually, for any other changes, cancellations, costs, expenses, effect on your holiday, loss or damage suffered by you or for any failure by us to perform or properly or promptly perform any of our obligations to you.
