14. LITERATURE
OASIS takes every care to ensure the accuracy of the property descriptions. All information in our brochure and on our website is given in good faith and is believed to be correct at the time of going to press, but OASIS cannot be held responsible for changes beyond their control, which may become known after publication of this literature. The description of a barn shows what amenities that property has but generally does not state what is not in the property. Please be aware that if a property is advertised as having an enclosed garden, this does not necessarily mean a secure garden. It may be enclosed by hedging or open style fencing. Further, OASIS cannot accept liability for happenings outside their reasonable control, such as breakdown of domestic appliances, plumbing, wiring, temporary invasion of pests, damage resulting from exceptional weather conditions.

 

15. ACT OF GOD

Natural disasters, unsatisfactory weather or other such 'acts of god' will not result in refunds.

In the event of any dispute between parties it shall be governed by the jurisdiction of the English courts only and any actions shall be heard in the court for the area in which the property is located unless otherwise agreed between the parties. However, it is hereby agreed and declared that all reasonable endeavours will be used to resolve the dispute arising between you and OASIS without immediate recourse to litigation. If not mutually resolved, it is further agreed that all reasonable endeavours will be used to resolve the dispute by a formally recognised alternative dispute resolution process i.e. mediation, arbitration or expert determination. In default of such agreement, the process and appointment of the independent professional will be determined by the President for the time being of the Law Society or the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. In either case, all parties will contribute equally to the expense of such process, and, in default these expenses shall be capable of being recovered in any subsequent litigation.

 

17. AVAILABILITY

In the unlikely event that a property is not available through events arising outside the control of OASIS, then OASIS may be forced to cancel the booking. The Hirer will be advised as early as possible and be entitled to a full refund of all monies due. The Hirer will not as a result have any further claims against OASIS or the Owner. Please note that reservation requests taken via our website are not confirmed bookings until we have contacted you and accepted a payment.

   

18. ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING

OASIS does not have a charging point. If you wish to top-up from a 3-pin wall socket we will charge £2 per hour (which will be deducted from the deposit).  We will rely on your honesty to tell us how many hours charge was used during your stay.
