Membership Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions of All Rentals

1. General
Open House Tours ("the Company") acts as a booking agent. It arranges bookings and reservations of holiday accommodations for the vacationer ("the Renter"), as an agent for the owners of the holiday accommodation ("the Property Owner") .  There are no advertising or setup fees to the Property Owner for our services.  Open House Tours charges a  fee only if we succeed in procuring an acceptable renter for your vacation rental. 18% of the total rental amount before tax is deducted from the rental fee prior to dispersing a check to the Property Owner.

2. Contract:
The issuance of a written confirmation to the Renter by the Company shall complete a binding contract between the Renter and the Property Owner.

3. Payment:
3.1 Bookings shall be confirmed in writing by the Company on payment of a deposit (said confirmation does not refer to the Booking Application Form.  Conformation will be sent in writing by Open House Tours directly to the renter).

3.2 Receipt of any deposit prior to the Company's written confirmation of the reservation shall not constitute acceptance of any booking.

3.3 The balance shall be payable 30 days prior to the commencement of the holiday.

3.4 If the Renter books the holiday less than 30 days from its commencement, the full booking charge shall be payable upon booking.

3.5 All payments shall be made to the Company as stated at the top of the booking application form, by check, money order or in cash only.

3.7 All payments made within two weeks of occupancy must be made by certified check or valid credit card.

4.1 In the highly unlikely event that the Company shall be unable to arrange the holiday accommodation requested by the Renter, the Company shall attempt to arrange alternative holiday accommodation of a similar type and cost and standard and in a similar location as that originally requested by the Renter. If the alternative holiday accommodation and/or rate is not acceptable to the Renter, the Company shall refund, in full, to the Renter all monies paid by him/her to the Company.

4.2 Requests by the Renter for alternative accommodation and/or dates, will be processed only if the original booking property/time can be re- booked, and will result in an additional administrative charge of $25.00 per change.

5. Cancellation:
Any cancellation made by the Renter shall be in writing addressed to the Company at the address stated at the top of the booking application form. On receipt of such notice of cancellation, the Company shall endeavor to re-book the holiday accommodation for the entire period of the original booking.
