Holiday Island Lets treats the personal information of site users with the utmost respect and confidentiality and takes reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is stored securely and accurately.
In order to process your enquiry we need to collect certain personal details from you. These details will include, where applicable, the names and contact details (including email address). We need to pass your details to the third parties who need to know them so that your chosen accommodation can be provided or your enquiry can be dealt with. The owner of the accommodation you have booked or enquired about may contact you direct using the details you have given us. By submitting your enquiry to us, you agree to your personal details being processed in this way.
We may need to disclose our customer database, including any personal data relating to you contained therein, to a third party who acquires or attempts to acquire all or substantially all of the assets or stocks in our company or our website whether by merger, acquisition, reorganisation or otherwise.
Except where expressly permitted by the Data Protection Act, we will only deal with the personal details you give us as set out above unless you agree or tell us otherwise. We have appropriate security measures in place to protect this information.
You are generally entitled to ask us (by letter or e-mail) what details of yours are being held or processed, for what purpose and to whom they may be or have been disclosed. We will charge a fee to respond to such a request. We promise to respond to your request within 30 days of receiving your written request and fee. In certain limited circumstances we are entitled to refuse your request.
If you believe that any of your personal details which we are processing are inaccurate or incorrect please contact us immediately.
This privacy statement covers websites owned and controlled by us only. Links to other websites and any information collected by these sites are not covered by this privacy statement. As our privacy statement may change due to developments in the law, we would encourage you to reread our privacy statement from time to time so that you are aware of any changes in how we gather and use personal information.
9. How we use your information and who we share it with:
We reserve the right to use and share information concerning our advertisers, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, with law enforcement authorities and/or other companies in the same industry as Holiday Island Lets for the purpose of fraud prevention.
10. Multiple properties:
A property advertisement on Holiday Island Lets pertains to one holiday unit, not multiple units, nor example of properties in a certain region. Only one unit should be represented in an advertisement unless the prior permission has been given to the advertiser. Holiday Island Lets reserve the right to amend any property adverts not adhering to this policy.
11. Exchanging properties:
A property advertisement on Holiday Island Lets relates to a specific property, and this property can not be substituted for another by way of changes to the text and photographs unless prior permission has been given to the advertiser.
12. Termination of a property page:
If Holiday Island Lets receives substantiated complaints from any number of site users about a specific Property Page misrepresenting the property, or its surroundings, then we reserve the right to remove the Property Page without notice, and retain payment. Holiday Island Lets reserves the right to refuse or remove any Property Page from its web site that it considers unsuitable, incomplete or misleading, and will not be liable for any expense in so doing. Holiday Island Lets reserves the right to refuse any Property Page from its web site where the content fails to meet our minimum requirements. If advertisers wish to have their Property Page removed from the web site before the end of their subscription, this will be done as soon as we receive formal notice from the subscriber by email or using the 'contact us' page, quoting their property reference number. No refunds will be given.
13. Contactability:
In the interest of maintaining a high level of service to holidaymakers using the site, we require all advertisers to be available to respond to enquiries by telephone or email. Should advertisers be unavailable for a period of more than 1 week, we ask them to leave an answerphone message to that effect or set up an out of office response on their email account. If neither of these options is viable, we ask that advertisers contact us so we can temporarily suspend their advert. We reserve the right to refuse advertisements at our discretion. Should a property advertiser fail to respond to our request for information within a reasonable amount of time, we reserve the right to remove the advertisement without notice.
We can be contacted by telephone, email or post using the information from our contact us page.
14. External links:
Holiday Island Lets reserves the right to remove from adverts both email addresses and links to external websites which either do not conform to the guidelines provided, or which we feel are not appropriate, or act against the interests of the company or its advertisers. The ultimate responsibility and authority for determining the aforementioned rests solely with Holiday Island Lets.
15. Changes to pricing and conditions:
Holiday Island Lets reserves the right to change the rates and conditions without notice. Any new rates will be applicable immediately for all new adverts and renewals for both new and existing customers.
17. Tee times, car hire and other services:
These services are largely dependant on third parties and as such we can not guarantee the availability or quality of service relating to these products or services.
18. Refund Policy
We provide an advertising service rather than a physical product. We offer a 'cooling off period' of seven working days wherein an Advertiser may cancel the requested advertising by email to info@apartments-villas-rentals.co.uk or by use of the 'Contact Us' form on our site. The 'cooling off period' applies to the initial advertising period only; it cannot be applied beyond the first year of advertising. A full refund will be made for any orders cancelled within the seven working day cooling off period.
With "pay on results" advertising: If as an owner, you have confirmed to us, in writing, that your own cancellation policy provides the client with a full refund in the event of cancellation, then we are happy to refund to you any payment you have made to us for that booking. If you offer a partial refund, for example 50%, then we will also refund the same proportional percentage of any fee you may have paid to us for that booking. We may need to contact the client to verify the cancellation /refund. If you do not have a clear refund policy then we reserve the right to not provide refunds for any disputed payment you have made to us.
