Terms & Conditions

The StartChalet website (www.startchalet.com) is owned and operated by StartChalet, a private company operating from the Netherlands.

Holiday-maker section

These terms and conditions apply in addition to any other terms, conditions, notices and disclaimers contained elsewhere on www.startchalet.com. Your use of the website constitutes your agreement to all such terms, conditions, notices and disclaimers.

StartChalet operates the website as a referral medium which allows property owners ("Suppliers") to advertise one or more holiday rental properties for rent to potential guests. We are not an agent for property owners or managers that advertise properties on StartChalet.

The website provides a venue for users to interact, and StartChalet is not, and does not become, party to any contractual relationship between a guest and a Supplier, and does not mediate between guests and the Suppliers in the event of any dispute arising between them.

Information provided on the website about goods and services offered by a Supplier is provided by that Supplier. We do not monitor, verify or endorse information submitted by Suppliers for posting on the website and you should be aware that such information may be inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date. Facilities, activities or other services that form part of your booking may be subject to change.

We do not make any representation as to the safety, quality, condition or description of any goods or services provided by Suppliers that are advertised on the website. Any issues regarding safety, quality, condition or description should be dealt with directly with the Supplier with whom you have made the booking. StartChalet is unable to provide refunds in these instances.

Suppliers may impose their own terms and conditions in relation to their goods and services. You acquire goods and services from Suppliers subject to those terms and conditions, so you should check that you agree to the terms and conditions before you confirm your booking.

You agree that you will use the enquiry forms and other contact information on the website for no other purpose than genuine booking enquiries or reservations.
