1. CONTRACT

The rental contract you enter into as a lessee with RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA as an agent, is actually concluded with the villa owner as a lessor. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA acts exclusively as an agent and it shall be liable only as an agent. By making an advance payment for the reservation of the desired villa, you unconditionally accept these General Business Terms and Conditions. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA reserves the right to change these General Conditions, which will be published on RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA's website www.rentluxuryvillascroatia.com and will be effective from the date of publication on. All annexes to the Rental contract are only valid if made in writing. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA will send a written reservation confirmation to the guest once the reservation advance payment is received. A written reservation confirmation, together with these General Business Terms and Conditions, make a Rental contract between the guest as a lessee and the villa owner as a lessor. Guests must contact us immediately if any information appears to be incorrect, as changes may not be possible later.

2. PRICES AND PAYMENT

Credit card payments are made in euros (€). If a guest has a credit card in a different currency, a conversion to euros will be made by the guest’s credit card company. The reservation is binding, and an advance payment in the amount of 30% of the agreed accommodation price is required, after which the reservation is confirmed. After the advance payment is done, the contract with the owner is concluded and these General Business Terms and Conditions, which make a constituent part of the villa Rental contract, are accepted. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA will send a written reservation confirmation to the guest by email after the completion of the reservation process and payment, and it represents a Rental contract concluded with the owner. The Rental contract is considered concluded after RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA receives the paid advance amount. Water, gas, electricity, internet, bed linen, towels, kitchen towels, final cleaning of the interior, maintenance of the swimming pool and exterior, registration of stay, residential tax, and value-added tax are all included in the rental price unless otherwise is indicated on the specific villa’s homepage.

The acceptable payment methods for advance payment are credit card (Master Card, Visa, Maestro, American Express, Diners, and Discover cards), Pay Pal, and bank transfer. The amount charged to the guest’s credit card will be in euros (€). If the guest has a different currency on his/her credit card, a conversion to euros will be made by the guest’s credit card company. As a result of this conversion, there may be minor differences between the price shown on our website and the price charged to the guest’s credit card. Payments made via bank transfer and PayPal are charged in euros, with no possibility of exchange rate differences. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA is not responsible for the exchange rate differences or fees imposed by other banking institutions.

All payment methods accepted for the advance payment are also acceptable for the balance payment (70% of the agreed accommodation price). The payment by credit card, Pay Pal, and bank transfer has to be done up to 30 days prior to the arrival date so that RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA has enough time for forwarding the payment to the owner.

The following conditions shall apply to reservations made 30 days or more prior to the beginning of the rental period:

Advance payment (30% of the agreed accommodation price) is required immediately if the credit card or PayPal is selected as a payment option. If the payment via bank transfer is selected, RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA must receive the paid amount within 3 (three) days.

Balance payment (70% of the agreed accommodation price) is required no later than 30 (thirty) days prior to the arrival date if payment is made via credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer. If it is permitted to pay the balance payment in cash (if this option is possible for the guest’s desired villa, the guest will be given the choice when making your reservation) guests are obligated to pay 70% of the agreed accommodation price immediately after arrival, directly to the owner. There is no possibility to pay electronically (credit cards/PayPal) in the villa.

The following conditions shall apply to reservations made 30 days or fewer prior to the beginning of the rental period:

The payment of the total amount is due immediately. The payment can be done by credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer.

If the guest chooses to pay a part of the agreed accommodation price in cash (if this option is possible for the guest’s desired villa, the guest will be given the choice when making your reservation) the advance amount (30% of the agreed accommodation price) should be paid immediately). Guests are obligated to pay 70% of the agreed accommodation price immediately after arrival, directly to the owner. There is no possibility to pay electronically (credit cards/Pay Pal) in the villa.

The guest is obliged to make payments within the time frame and in the manner specified by this clause of the General Business Terms and Conditions. If the guest does not obey the payment due dates, the Rental contract is considered terminated without a notice period. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA is not obligated to inform the guest of this termination because it is considered a severe breach of the contract.

3. CANCELLATION AND CHANGES

Guests can cancel their reservation by writing an e-mail to RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA. The cancellation is effective as of the day RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA received the written cancellation notice and only under the terms of this Clause. If the Rental contract is cancelled, all payments received up to the cancellation date will be retained, and the guest is not entitled to a refund.

In case the guest can find another guest as his substitute for the same reservation (same accommodation, same dates) and under the same conditions, RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA shall transfer the Rental contract to a new guest (after receiving all necessary data about the new guest), and it shall send him/her a written reservation confirmation. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA will retain the previously received payment after the transferred contract, and the new guest is required to pay the balance up to the total accommodation price based on the previously selected payment method, which is an integral part of the contract.

If the guest is prevented from traveling, the reservation can be transferred to another person or period (if possible) in the same villa. If the reservation is moved to a more expensive period, the guest must pay the difference in price. If the newly chosen period is less expensive than the original, the total price remains unchanged. However, guests must notify RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA of any changes no later than 42 days prior to their arrival date. If a guest wishes to make any additional changes to the reservation after it has been confirmed, the guest must notify RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA as soon as possible.

4. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

The guest will receive a reservation confirmation, and 15 days before their arrival date, they will also receive a check-in info e-mail with all necessary arrival and departure information (arrival and departure times, address, coordinates, and phone number of the host), which is non-changeable and must be followed.

In the event of an earlier arrival, the guest will be unable to enter the villa before the specified time of arrival. The guest must always check out of the villa by 10 a.m. on the departure day, and the keys must be returned to the owner. In the event of a later departure than agreed, the guest is obligated to pay the owner all additional costs, directly on the spot.

8. NOISE AND PARTIES

Guests are not permitted to hold parties in the villa or elsewhere on the property.

All potential disputes between the owner and the guest must be resolved between them without the involvement of RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA.

15. LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE

RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA guarantees that the accommodation price listed on the official website www.rentluxuryvillascroatia.com is the lowest, i.e. that the same named villa cannot be found in advertisements at lower prices than ours.

The evidence should have been sent before making a reservation with RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA.

The lowest price guarantee does not apply if the price difference is due to an increase in tax or stamp duty or significant changes in the exchange rate. It is also not applicable if the lower prices on other web pages are not up to date and if the villa cannot be reserved at such prices, as well as in the case of special last-minute offers. The lowest price guarantee is only valid at the time of reservation and cannot be applied later or after the reservation was completed and paid for.

16. SPECIAL REQUESTS

If the guest has special requests that are not included in the accommodation price (such as cooks, waiters, special food, etc.), they will be fulfilled by the owner or a third party, if possible. Additional services must be announced in advance via email in order to be fulfilled in top quality, if possible. RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA neither provides nor charges for additional services, but only assists in their arrangement, and RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA cannot be held liable for the quality of services provided by third parties.

17. ACT OF GOD

In the event that the concluded Rental contract cannot be fulfilled or becomes significantly more difficult to fulfill due to an act of God (e.g. war, natural disaster, environmental disaster, epidemics, border closures, and similar act of God) that could not have been foreseen at the time of the Rental contract conclusion, RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA and the owner may terminate the Rental contract, as neither RENT LUXURY VILLAS CROATIA nor the owner can be held liable in the above-mentioned cases.
