Booking Conditions
These booking conditions form the basis of your contract
with Kalkan Oasis - please read them carefully. In these
Booking Conditions, 'you' and 'your' means all persons
included in the booking (including anyone who is added or
substituted at a later date). 'We', 'us' and 'our' means
Kalkan Oasis.
Making your booking
All products advertised on this website are subject to
availability. To confirm a booking, a deposit of 10%
(minimum £35.00) of the booking value must be paid by the
party leader who must be over 18 and authorised to make the
booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all
persons included in the booking and their parent or guardian
for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is
made.
If the booking is made within 6 weeks of departure,
the full cost of the holiday must be paid in order for us to
confirm your holiday. Once we have received your deposit, we
will despatch a confirmation invoice by e-mail to the party
leader - at which point a binding contract between us
begins. Your confirmation invoice contains all the details
of your booking and, where applicable, the date that the
balance of your payment is due. Please check this invoice
carefully as soon as you receive it and contact us
immediately if any information in it seems to be incorrect
or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes
later. We cannot accept any liability if we are not notified
of any inaccuracy within 10 days of our sending the
confirmation invoice.
The balance of your holiday cost must be paid in full 6
weeks prior to departure. A reminder will be sent out for
the due balance by e-mail, 1 week prior to the due date. If
the balance is not received in full by the due date, your
booking may be cancelled by us and you could be liable to
cancellation charges of up to 100% of the holiday price,
because in this event we reserve the right to treat the
booking as cancelled by you at any time up to the date of
departure. You must therefore pay the balance by the due
date or advise us in writing of any cancellation.
Security deposit
A security deposit of £50 is payable, refundable on your
return subject to a nil damage report being received. The
costs of any damage incurred during your occupation of the
accommodation, will be deducted from the security deposit
and any balance refunded to you. Should the cost of any
damage incurred during your occupation of the accommodation
exceed the value of the security deposit, you will be liable
to pay us the additional amount arising
The cost of your holiday
We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised
and confirmed prices and we will do so as soon as we become
aware of the error. Should an incorrect invoice be issued we
will issue a new invoice and will not be bound by the price
stated on the incorrect invoice. We reserve the right to
change any prices on our website at any time. We will always
offer the best price available to you at the time of your
booking but if the price subsequently decreases or increases
you will not be eligible for a refund of the difference nor
will we ask you to pay any increase arising after the
confirmation of booking invoice has been issued, subject to
errors in the original invoice. On booking you commit
yourself to the price as quoted and the payment conditions
applicable to your booking and this price is then
guaranteed.
Changes by you
If you wish to make changes to your holiday after the
confirmation invoice has been despatched, you must notify us
by e-mail as soon as possible and we will endeavour to
assist. However, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet
any such requests.
If any changes are made at your request
we reserve the right to charge an administration fee of
£30.00 per booking payable immediately together with any
additional costs incurred by ourselves or our suppliers.
Cancellation by you
Should you decide to cancel your chosen holiday after the
confirmation invoice has been despatched, the party leader
must inform us as soon as possible by e-mail. Your
notification of cancellation will only be effective once it
is received in writing by us and the following cancellation
charges will be payable. Where the cancellation charge is
shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of
the total cost payable, excluding amendment charges.
Amendment charges are not refundable in any circumstances.

Depending on the reason
for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these
cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the
terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly
to the insurance company concerned. Where any cancellation
reduces the number of full paying party members below the
number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any
concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will
recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly. If
any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that
person may transfer their place to someone else (introduced
by you) providing we are notified not less than two weeks
before departure. Where a transfer to a person of your
choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred by us
and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as a
result together with an administration fee of £30.00 must be
paid.
Insurance
We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential.
Please read your policy details carefully and take them with
you on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that the
insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for
your particular needs.
Changes and cancellation
by us
Occasionally, we have to make changes to our products and
services and, although we always endeavour to avoid this, we
must reserve the right to make changes to your holiday. Most
changes are minor but if we have to make a 'significant
change' to your arrangements and if there is time to do so
before departure, we will offer you the choice of the
following options:-
(a) accepting the changed arrangements
(b) purchasing alternative products or services from us, of
a similar standard to that originally booked if available.
A "significant change" in these Booking Conditions means a
change of accommodation to that of a lower official
classification or standard for the whole or a major part of
the time you are away or the closure of all advertised
swimming pools at your accommodation for more than 2 days.
All other changes are treated as "minor" changes.
Occasionally, it may be necessary for the owner or
designated person authorised by us to carry out a specific
task, to enter the accommodation during your holiday for the
purpose of quality control or to carry out emergency
repairs. Wherever possible you will be notified of this
beforehand in the resort, but we are not obliged to notify
you in advance.
Force Majeure
We regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation
where the performance of our contractual obligations is
prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage
or loss as a result of "force majeure". In these Booking
Conditions, "force majeure" means any event which we or the
supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with
all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war
or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened
terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear
disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar
events outside our control.
Complaints and problems
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain
or experience any problems with your holiday whilst away,
you must inform us immediately. Any verbal notification must
be put in writing and given to us as soon as possible. Until
we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to
resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. If you
remain dissatisfied, however, the party leader must write to
us within 28 days of the party's return to the UK giving
your booking reference and full details of your complaint.
We cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the
complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.
Behaviour during your holiday
The accommodation we provide is only for the use of party
members detailed on your confirmation invoice - sub-letting,
sharing or assignment is prohibited. You accept
responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any
member of your party and full details of any such damage or
loss must be agreed locally before you leave. If you fail to
do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims
subsequently made against us (together with our own and the
other party's full legal costs) as a result of your actions.
We expect all members of your party to have consideration for other people. If in our
reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other
person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves
in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger,
upset or distress to any third party or damage to property,
we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the
holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the
person(s) concerned will be required to leave the
accommodation or other service. We will have no further
responsibility toward such person(s) including any return
travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not
pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the
termination.
Special requests and medical problems
If you have any special request, you must advise us in
writing at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour
to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier,
we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met. You
must notify us within 10 days of despatch of your
confirmation invoice if your special request does not appear
on it. All special requests are subject to availability.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem
or disability which may affect your holiday, please tell us
before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to
the suitability of the chosen arrangements. The property
advertised on this website has facilities which are standard
to the area and lack features such as lifts or ramps for
wheelchairs, the property is not childproof and is built
into a hillside with steep or uneven approaches. Therefore
you must give us full details in writing at the time of
booking of any medical problem or disability and if we
reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the
particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve
the right to decline their reservation or, if full details
are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become
aware of these details.
Safety standards
Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the
country in which any services which make up your holiday are
provided which apply to those services and not those of the
UK. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will
not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.
Delay
We regret we are not in a position to offer you any
assistance in the event of delay at your outward or homeward
point of departure. Any airline concerned may at their own
discretion provide refreshments, meals and accommodation etc
when delays occur. Your insurance policy may cover delays
and claims should be made directly to the insurance company
concerned with evidence of the delay as provided by the
appropriate airline.
Transfers
If you have booked a transfer with us, you must inform us of
your airline, flight number, arrival airport and time of
arrival. Our representative will wait at the Arrivals area
of the named airport with the name of the party leader
prominently displayed. Should your flight be delayed or
cancelled you must endeavour to inform us by phoning our
emergency number stated in your confirmation invoice. If
your flight is cancelled or delayed by more than 3 hours,
your transfer may be cancelled and need to be re-booked. You
should inform us of your new flight details so that a new
transfer can be arranged, this may incur an additional
charge.
Other important notes:
Vacating at the end
of your holiday:
On the last day of your holiday you should vacate your
accommodation by 12:00 noon (local time), but wherever
possible we will allow you to stay longer if you have a late
flight home.
Utilities:
Electricity and water supplies can fluctuate or are
sometimes unavailable due to local problems. Water is heated
by solar power and therefore, especially in early or late
season may be limited by sunlight - not all accommodations
have backup generators. Air-conditioning can fluctuate
together with the power.
Cleaning:
Clean bed linen and towels and a light cleaning are provided
at least once a week. Beach towels are not provided.
Withdrawal of Facilities:
Sometimes facilities have to be temporarily and unavoidably
withdrawn at short notice such as pools (for cleaning),
rooms where emergency repairs need to be carried out etc.
Obviously these things are beyond our control and do not
warrant a refund.
Swimming Pools:
Swimming pools vary in depth and due care must be taken by
all members of your party to familiarise themselves with the
depth of any pool used. The pool at villa Oasis is
approximately 1.8 metres deep throughout. Pool terraces can
be slippery when wet and it is your responsibility to take
due care when around the pool area. Swimming pools are not
heated. Occasionally, due to inclement weather, pools may
not be available for use, when this is known to us we will
try to advise you before you depart, however this may not
always be possible.
Location:
Accommodation advertised on this website and in any other
way may be situated on non-surfaced roads or tracks, built
into steep hillsides and approached by steep or uneven paths
and it is your responsibility to take due care when walking
or driving in the resort.
Meals:
The cost of meals is not included in your holiday. You are
responsible for making your own arrangements for all meals.
Flora and Fauna:
In hot climates, insects and other pests such as rodents,
scorpions and snakes are fairly common and are not
necessarily an indication of poor standards. Whilst property
owners do their best to eradicate these, they are at the
mercy of nature and cannot be held responsible for the
presence of wildlife. Mosquitoes can be a problem and whilst
the property advertised on this website has mosquito screens
fitted and mosquito repellent machines, you are advised to
bring or buy locally sufficient mosquito repellent for the
duration of your holiday.
Building work:
It is usual for properties to be built during the winter
months and left uncompleted for a period of time. In
general, noisy building work is not allowed to continue
after the beginning of May, however, other building work
such as plastering, painting etc., is allowed to continue
throughout the summer. We cannot be held responsible for any
building or road workings carried out at any time.
Data Protection:
We at Kalkan Oasis believe your privacy is of the utmost
importance. Kalkan Oasis will only use the information that
it collects about you in accordance with the Data Protection
Act 1998.
We may collect information about you to provide you with
details of other products and services available. Any
information provided by you will be treated in a responsible
manner and no information will be collected unless it is
given voluntarily. The information may be used by Kalkan
Oasis to provide you with information about our products and
promotions or for our own marketing purposes or research.
You can at any point have your details removed from our
database by sending an e-mail to marketing@kalkanoasis.co.uk
and asking to opt out.
All information stored will be held in a secure environment.
We may pass on your details to companies whose products and
services are deemed relevant to you. You will be asked, on
registering, whether you wish to opt out of this service and
may opt out at any subsequent point by e-mailing
marketing@kalkanoasis.co.uk and asking to opt out.
