2. Online Bookings

Please note that different terms, conditions & cancellation policies in relation to all online

bookings via www.YourAmsterdamHousing.com and Online Travel Agencies (for example

Booking.com, WayToStay.com) may apply depending on the accommodation or rate type

selected. Please read carefully the accommodation rate details that are provided before

you make your online booking. You are advised to check through the rate details before

making your online reservation.

3.Payment

By means of the credit card details in the reservation, the company has the right to charge an amount, or the full amount as a guarantee for the booking, depending on the

rate:

3.1 Refundable rate

The moment a reservation is made 25% of the total costs of the reservation will be charged, with the maximum of 25% of the monthly fee, in order to check the validity of the credit card.

The remaining amount has to be paid upon arrival at the apartment. Corporate clients can apply for payment per invoice.

Once the credit card check or deposit payment is successfully completed, the client will receive a booking confirmation via e-mail, and the cancellation policies in section 4.1 will apply.

3.2 Methods of payments

The Company accepts bank transfers, as well as VISA, MasterCard, Diners and American Express credit cards for remote payments. Payments at check in can be done by credit card and cash.

The Company prefers payments made by bank transfer. However, before the payment is done the Company needs to be consulted with regards to time needed for transfer. The Company can not be held liable for a reservation of which it hasn't received payment.

For credit card payments , the credit card that is used for the booking needs to be owned by the head booker. The Company does not accept payments that have been made by means of a credit card that does not belong to the head booker. A credit card is personal and may not be used by third parties. At arrival the Company reserves the right to compare the credit card that has been used for the booking with the actual credit card. In case the credit card is not present as it is from somebody else, the Company needs a written and signed statement from the actual card holder that he or she gives permission to the client to use this credit card. This written statement needs to include a copy of the identification of the card holder and a copy of both sides of the credit card.

3.3 Prices

Prices are fully including (heating & hot water costs, linen & towels, cable TV, Internet

usage, weekly cleaning). Lastly, the prices are including 6% VAT, excluding 5% tourist

tax. Quotes made directly to corporates are made excluding VAT.

If any fees are not received in accordance with the paragraph above, the booking may be

cancelled by the Company and any payments already made, will be forfeited.

All accommodation charges and any "extras" charges must be settled by the guest, prior

to checking out and leaving the premises.

4. Cancellations

Cancellation of a reservation will be effective only from the date of receipt. Reservations made through third party websites (such as Booking.com, Expedia.com) can

only be cancelled if the cancellation is made through the respective affiliated website.

All other cancellations must be made in writing by e-mail to [email protected]

Any cancellation may be liable to pay cancellation charges. Depending on the reasons for

your cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges from your insurance company if you decided to take out travel insurance. We strongly recommend

that all clients obtain appropriate travel and personal insurance cover. In exceptional circumstances we may find it necessary to cancel your booking or offer a similar suitable

apartment. If this is not acceptable we will refund any sum you have paid to us which shall constitute fully and final settlement of any liability we may have to you as a result of such cancellation.

The Company reserves the right to cancel the booking if:

- The client is unable to prove that he/she is the owner of the credit card used for payment, - If the client cannot provide a written permission statement for use of the credit card,

in combination with a copy of both sides of the credit card used for payment and a copy of

an identification document of the credit card holder.

- The apartment(s) or part of it is closed due to circumstances beyond its control.

The Company becomes insolvent or enters into liquidation or receivership. It prejudices the reputation. It causes or might cause in the Company’s opinion, damage to the apartments and its common areas. In any of these circumstances the Company will refund any payments made in advance, but will have no further liability to the Client.

We will not be liable for any delay, loss, damage or expenses incurred if your booking

needs to be altered or cancelled or we are unable to perform our contractual obligations

as a result of events beyond our reasonable control, which shall include but not be limited to events such as war, civil strife, terrorist activity, labor disputes, natural or man made disaster, fire, flood, and adverse weather conditions. Please note that we don't refund your booking due to flight cancellations. If we receive serious complaints or any disputes arise, we reserve the right to terminate your stay without notice.

The cancellation policy is divided in two specific policies in reference to the length of stay. We make a difference in cancellation fees for bookings of up to 1 month and booking of more than a month. The main reason for doing so is the fact that the financial risk on our side is much larger for longer reservations.

Reservations less than 1 month

Time before arrival	Cancellation fee
Less than 24 hours	100% of reservation
Less than 3 days	75% of reservation
Less than 2 weeks	50% of reservation
More than 2 weeks	25% of reservation
More than 2 months	free of charge

Reservations 1 month or more

Time before arrival	Cancellation fee
Less than 24 hours	3 weeks + 1 week per month
Less than 1 week	2 weeks + 1 week per month
Less than 1 month	1 week + 1 week per month
Less than 2 months	1 week per month
More than 2 months	free of charge

5. Alterations

If you wish to alter your booking (e.g. change the dates of your stay or the accommodation requested), we will apply a 14 days notice period. If the booking is less than 1 month stay after the alteration a higher rate might become applicable. We will use all our reasonable efforts to comply with your request but we do not accept liability for any loss, damage or additional expenses that may be incurred due to that circumstance. We will always endeavour to sell any apartments you no longer require, but cannot guarantee this.

6. Security Deposits

Upon arrival we can require a security deposit of €300,- by means of an authorization on the credit card. If you do not possess a credit card we will ask you to voluntarily let us hold

your passport.

The Credit Card details will be used as a security deposit when necessary. If damage or

disturbances to the Company or other clients have occurred, the costs to the manager/owner of the damage or disturbance that has occurred will be retained from the security deposit, and the remainder returned to the guest(s) in the party. If the costs exceed the value of the deposit, Your Amsterdam Housing reserves the right to charge the excess to the guest's (or guests') credit card(s).

The deposit will be released automatically after checking out. Before it is released we inspect the apartment on the following:

(1) no damage to the apartment(s) has occurred, by any guest in the party

(2) no damage to any property has occurred, by any guest in the party

(3) no undue disturbance to other guests or residents has occurred, by any guest in the party.

7. Clients ́personal details

The client has to provide the Company with correct personal details. The client is held to provide this information in all honesty. In any case that wrong information is apparently

deliberately provided, the Company reserves the right to cancel the reservation and hold

the client responsible for any costs that may arise because of this wrong information.

Purposefully providing wrong personal details is classified as identity fraud and the

authorities will be notified in any case of identity fraud. The Company will always treat your personal details with confidentiality. Your personal information will not be shared with third parties unless the client has given his/her consent.

8. Occupants

reserve the right to refuse admittance to the apartment if this condition is not complied

with.
