The contract between Mallorca Farmhouses Ltd and the client will exist once our confirmation invoice has been issued. Any persons staying at the relevant accommodation who have not been declared to Mallorca Farmhouses Ltd as guests, prior to departure, will have no contract with the company, will be asked to leave the premises immediately and have no redress in law. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions and all further information contained in our brochure and on our website and is governed by English law and the jurisdiction of the English courts. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. We will only be bound by representations made or confirmed in writing to us within the relevant time period.
Accommodation Only Bookings
When you book accommodation only, Mallorca Farmhouses Ltd act as booking agents on behalf of hotels, apartments and villas featured in this brochure and on our website www.mallorca.co.uk and your contract will be with the Accommodation Provider. We will send you a confirmation invoice issued by the Accommodation Provider and a binding contract between you and the Accommodation Provider will come into existence. Once the contract is made, the Accommodation Provider is responsible to you to provide you with the relevant property and you are responsible to pay for this on the agreed dates. With each booking you are subject to the Accommodation Provider’s terms and conditions and all other terms and booking conditions specific to the relevant property. Where your contract is with the Accommodation Provider concerned, we can not accept any liability in relation to those services which rests solely with the supplier concerned. Copies of the relevant supplier’s conditions, which will apply to your booking, are available on request. Please note that it is important to check carefully the details of your booking, when you receive it. If you want to cancel or change your booking later, you may have to pay amendment or cancellation charges which may be as much as the whole accommodation costs.

Exchange rates are based on the rate €1.00 = £1.00. Please note all payments made by Visa/MasterCard or American Express are subject to a 2% surcharge. The price of your holiday may vary due to changes in transportation costs including the cost of fuel, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports.

If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you.
