5. Non-performance
If one of the parties fails to comply with his/her obligations, the other party is entitled to terminate the agreement in whole or in part, unless the failure to comply is of exceptional nature or minimal significance. Termination gives rise to entitlement to a claim for compensation for any damage, unless the non-performance can be attributed to the party making a claim. If the holiday is wholly or partly ruined by the failure to perform, the Guest is entitled to claim compensation for damages for this.
In the case of termination or partial termination resulting from a failure to perform by the Host he will make repayment of any rental and security deposit paid in relation to the termination and any compensation payable to the Guest.
If the accommodation is not returned on time for use by the Host, then the Host is entitled to the percentage of the rental amount for the period involved divided by the maximum number of booked accommodation days, without prejudice to his full entitlement to complete compensation for damage, as referred to in clause 1.
If the Guest clears up the accommodation later than agreed, then the Host is entitled to an equivalent increase in the rental amount and compensation for the damage arising as a result during the rental period, and the entire rental amount in the case of cancellation by the following Guest due to it being impossible to make the accommodation available to them.
6. Expenses during the rental period
The necessary expenses for normal maintenance and repair are to be borne by the Host. The Guest shall contact and obtain permission from the Host prior to giving any instructions for maintenance or repair of the accommodation, or of assets appertaining to it such as inventory and contents. The costs will be reimbursed upon the presentation and submission of specified invoices drawn up in the name of the Host.
7. Damage
The Guest will consult with the Host in the event of any damage due to loss, seizure and material damage to the accommodation, the inventory and related items. The Guest will adhere to the instructions of the Host.
The Guest is responsible for damage arising during the rental period and related costs such as replacement, unless the damage is covered by the insurance policy entered into for the accommodation, in accordance with this agreement. The maximum amount is the insurance excess plus ancillary costs such as the purchase of new inventory and related items.
If the Host is charged for the insurance excess this will be recoverable from the Guest.
8. Applicable law and resolution of disputes
Dutch law is applicable to this agreement. Only a Dutch court is competent to hear any disputes. If an arbitration committee is competent to hear a matter, the dispute can also be presented to that body, provided that the Host agrees to this.
