2. Initial Payment

3. Balance Payment
The Balance of the Hire will be due for payment six weeks before the holiday commencement date. The Owner reserves the right to cancel a holiday where full payment has not been received less than 21 days before the holiday commencement date.

Once the Owner has issued a Confirmation of Booking, you are responsible for the total published price of the property and extras as shown on the confirmation.
