1.2 When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these Terms, this will include email unless we say otherwise.

2.1 The law and how we have to operate the Aparthotel may change from time to time. If this happens then we may need to update our Terms. You will be able to find the latest version on our website or at front desk.
2.2 If we make any significant changes to our Terms after you have requested a Booking which have a materially adverse effect on your Booking, we will give you at least 14 days’ written notice of the change. You can choose to cancel your Booking if you do not accept these changes and will be given a full refund.
3.1 When you submit a Booking Reservation to us this does not mean that we have accepted it. We may or may not do so. If we are unable to supply you with the Accommodation, we will inform you of this and we will not accept the Booking and refund payments you have already made.
3.2 Subject to clause 3.3 below, these Terms will become binding on you and us when we send you a Booking Confirmation, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. Please check your Booking Confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it and inform us of any discrepancies. If any are our fault, we will do our best to remedy the situation.
3.3 We may have to refuse your Booking after you have received an automated Booking Confirmation in instances where the Booking has been accepted in error. In such instances, we will inform you within 72 hours and refund any payments you have already made.
3.4 If you have made a specific request when making the Booking Reservation which we are unable to accommodate (such as accessible apartments, party size, dogs etc.) occasionally we may have to refuse your Booking even after you have received an automated Booking Confirmation. If we are unable to accept your Booking for any reason, we will inform you of this as soon as possible and refund any payments you have already made. This might be because Accommodation or essential facilities are unavailable, or we have identified an error in the price or description of the Accommodation.
3.5 These Terms apply whether you make a Booking via our website, by email, post, telephone or in person.
4.1 The full Booking Price must be paid before the Arrival Date.
4.2 The Booking Price will be set at the time we issue the Booking Confirmation. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect Bookings already confirmed with you.
4.3 All prices are calculated per apartment per night based on the maximum amount of people sharing the apartment as set out during the booking process. Full details can be found on the Website.
4.4 We reserve the right to charge a Deposit. The value of the Deposit required will be shown at the time of making the Booking Reservation and further confirmed in the Booking Confirmation.
4.5 We use a tokenised card system, operated by our payment provider. Card details are taken at the point of making the Booking Reservation online, or submitted via a link sent by us where the Booking Reservation is taken over the phone. We use an automated system to take payment of the Booking Price (including Deposit where applicable) directly from your card in accordance with the payment scale as confirmed at the time of making your Booking and in your Booking Confirmation. A tokenised version of your payment details are held by;
(a) us until your Departure Date and
(b) the third party in accordance with their terms. For further details on our third party provider, please contact us at hello@sea.space.
4.6 If we accept your Booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
4.7 Our prices include VAT.
4.8 We take payment via Visa and Mastercard only.
5.1 You may cancel your Booking at any time. This clause explains when you are entitled to a refund and how that is calculated. We recommend that you obtain travel insurance.
5.2 If you need to cancel your Booking, please contact us as soon as possible in writing using the email address you provided when you made your Booking.
5.3 The amount we agree to refund you is dependent on how close your cancellation is to your [original] Booking Arrival Date. This is because we are less likely to recover the cost of your Booking by re-selling the Accommodation. The amount of any refund due therefore decreases as your arrival date approaches. Our cancellation policy can be found on our Website, and as confirmed in the Booking Confirmation.
5.4 If you cancel your Booking, we will try and re–let the Accommodation. If we are able to re-let the Accommodation, we will be able to offer you a refund subject to any difference in price between the Booking Price and the re-let price.
5.5 If you decide to vacate the Accommodation before your Departure Date for any reason other than as a result of us breaching our obligations under these Terms or our negligence, we are not liable to offer you a refund.
5.6 Once we have confirmed your Booking, you may cancel it at any time and receive a full refund of all the payments you have made to us by giving us notice if any of the following occur:
(a) we break this contract in any material way and we do not correct or fix the situation within a reasonable period; or
(b) we change these Terms and you choose not to agree to the new Terms.
You may make a change to your Booking by contacting us prior to the arrival date of your stay, subject to availability. If you wish to change your Booking the following will apply:
a. We will only accept requests to amend the Booking by the person who made the Booking using the email address provided in the original Booking.
b. Where accepted, your amended Booking must commence within 12 months of the date [of your original] Booking, once a booking commencement date has been changed it cannot be refunded.
c. You will have to pay us the difference in price if the altered Booking is one for which we ordinarily charge an additional amount at the date we receive notice from you that you wish to change.
d. Booking amendment requests are dependent on how close your request is to your arrival date. This is because we are less likely to recover the cost of your Booking by re-selling the Accommodation. If the amended booking is one for which we ordinarily charge a lower price at the date we receive notice from you that you wish to change, the following terms apply:
i. Notice of amendment received 60 days (75 days for bookings of 3+ rooms) or more before arrival date: Refund of the difference in price
ii. Notice of amendment received 30 – 60 days (45 – 75 days for bookings of 3+ rooms) or more before arrival date: 50% refund of the difference in price
iii. Notice of amendment received less than 30 days (45 days for bookings of 3+ rooms) before your arrival date: no refund, no amendment – see clause 5. Your rights to cancel and receive a refund
7.1 We may have to cancel the Booking due to the unavailability of key personnel or key facilities without which we cannot provide the Accommodation, including in circumstances of an Event Outside Our Control. If this happens:
(a) we will promptly contact you to let you know;
(b) we may cancel the Booking and refund your payments, or offer alternative Accommodation and refund any payments for Accommodation not yet provided to you less the cost of alternative accommodation;

8.3 We will endeavour to supply specific Accommodation on request, but this cannot be guaranteed, and we may supply different Accommodation of an equivalent or higher standard.

In such circumstances we will always make every effort to provide alternative facilities; however, we do not offer refunds in the event of any facilities or services being temporarily withdrawn.

(a) the number of people for whom the Booking is made, their names and age if they are under 18;
(b) whether you wish to bring any dogs; and
(c) any special requirements, such as a need for easy access to Accommodation.
8.9 If you do not, after being asked by us, provide us with this information, or if you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we may make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to cover changes to Accommodation, any extra items or services supplied or alternatively we may cancel the Booking.
