Booking Conditions

Please read the Booking Documents (Booking Form and Terms and Conditions) carefully as they are legally binding and constitute the terms and conditions of your agreement with our suppliers.

Chalamar Luxury Escapes acts exclusively as an agent for all bookings we make and process on your behalf.

All bookings are subject to each provider’s own booking conditions, which are available on request.

If you make multiple bookings through us, this will never constitute a package as defined in the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992, nor the Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organiser’s Licensing) Regulations 1995, Amended 2003. This is because the price for each booking individually will always be the same as the total sum of multiple bookings combined.

Chalamar Luxury Escapes cannot be held liable for errors or omissions in bookings made by one of our providers. Our responsibilities are solely limited to making bookings as per your instructions. For any irregularities or mistakes that appear on your booking confirmation documents contact us immediately so we can contact the service provider regarding these.

Bookings are only confirmed when a deposit has been paid as outlined in the providers term of booking. Additional fees may be charged to those paying by credit cards and these will be stated at the time of booking. We usually will invoice in on behalf of the provider unless otherwise stated by their booking conditions and will provide receipts when we have copies.

We advise that clients should always have Travel Insurance. All our providers offer financial protection please ask for details that apply to your booking. Prices are determined by our providers we reserve the right to amend and edit advertised prices as well as other website information. We endeavor to always display accurate property information to the fullest extent possible, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of ALL property information.

Any deals or special offers will have conditions set by the provider within their booking conditions and cannot be altered unless authorised by the provider. Multiple special offers usually cannot be used in conjunction with each other unless otherwise stated.

NO 14 VERBIER BOOKING CONDITIONS

Guest responsibilities As part of this contract you as signatory hereby agree to guarantee payment for any chargeable services requested by any member of your group both before and during your holiday. You will be presented with a summary of any such charges at the end of your stay and will be required to make full payment before departure or it will be deducted from the damages and incidentals deposit submitted with this booking form.

No.14 Verbier regrets that dogs or other pets are not permitted to stay in the chalet. Guests are asked to treat the property and all its fixtures and fittings with care and respect. No.14 Verbier will be entitled to recover the cost of any damage caused by any member of your group. Behavior deemed unacceptable will result in the termination of your holiday and you shall have no right to a refund for your holiday or any expenses incurred as a result of the termination.

No.14 Verbier requires a security and expenses deposit of CHF 15,000, which can either be blocked off a credit card, or paid by bank transfer. This deposit is fully refundable within 7 days after your departure from the chalet, less any repair/replacement costs as a result of damage caused by anybody in your party. If costs exceed the damage deposit you will be liable for any outstanding balance. Insurance As a condition of booking you must have appropriate insurance. Your signature on the booking form confirms that you have done so. Medical treatment overseas and the cost of repatriation in the event of an emergency can be very expensive and it is therefore vital that you and your party are adequately insured.

Cancellation by No.14 Verbier In exceptional circumstances, No.14 Verbier reserves the right to cancel your holiday for the dates you have reserved. This is exceedingly unlikely, but should this occur, you will be refunded in full. Should we be forced to cancel or change your holiday due to circumstances out of our control (e.g. war, riots, strikes, terrorism, natural disasters, fire, any technical problems to transport, closure or congestion of airports or similar events), you will be expected to claim on your insurance for a full refund of all monies paid.
No.14 Verbier reserves the right to decline a booking and in such instance will refund any deposit received.
