VERY FLEXIBLE CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY  RISK-FREE REFUNDS

Silver Sands Villas holds your payments in a dedicated Bank Account which is not touched until you complete your stay with us. Therefore, there is no risk that you will not be refunded your payment if it should become necessary.  If the Government of Jamaica closes the country's borders to international visitors for the period of your booking, you will have the following two options:  1. Rescheduling for free for any available period within 12 months. The price of the accommodation will be the posted price for the new dates, whether they are more or less than the price of the original booking.  2. Cancel for a full refund.  If you wish to cancel for other reasons and we agree to release you of your obligations, we will refund your payment less an Admin Fee of one hundred US dollars.  There is no refund under any circumstances for any unused portion of booked accommodation or services. Cancellation of your booking may result in the forfeiture of your payments.  We highly recommend that you obtain travel insurance, including trip cancellation insurance.

In cases of serious misconduct, we reserve the right to terminate the remainder of your stay or that of any member of your party. If we do so, we shall have no further responsibility or liability to you. If you or any member of your party deliberately or negligently cause any loss or damage to any accommodation, property or person, you agree to compensate us for any loss suffered by us, including legal costs, arising from such damage.     

Breakage and Damages   

Save for fair wear and tear, you are responsible for the condition of the accommodation and its contents. While we do not secure a deposit against damage, we reserve the right to charge you for damages and breakage caused by you.     

Check-in and Check-out   

Check-in time is 2:00 PM and check-out time is 10:00 AM. We may allow you to check in earlier or check out later at no extra charge subject to accommodation availability. If you need to check in before 10:00 AM or check out after 5:00 PM and it is possible for us to allow you to occupy the accommodation, there will be an incidental charge of US$50; if you need to check out after 8:00 PM, you will be charged for an additional night.     

Transportation Services  

We can arrange transportation services with local drivers, either to or from the airport or to other destinations. The local drivers we deal with are independent parties who are responsible for their own licenses, insurance and vehicles' roadworthiness. As such when making these arrangements on your behalf we are acting solely as your agent and you accept the transportation service at your own risk. You can place orders with us either prior to arrival or with our host during your stay, however, we cannot guarantee availability at all times and you are therefore recommended to make your bookings as early as possible. If we give any advice on journey times, this is done in good faith but we cannot guarantee that any journey will be completed in the specified time. You are required to pay the costs of the transportation to us in advance of your journey and you will be met by your driver on the date and time requested. In the event that you subsequently make any variations to your journey we reserve the right to alter the costs appropriately. You may cancel any order for transportation up until 24 hours before the pick up time to obtain a full refund; if you fail to do so then you will remain liable for the full cost. We reserve the right to terminate any transport services in the event of riot, civil unrest, war, extreme weather conditions or any other events that in our opinion are likely to be a threat to your safety, if we do this we will refund to you the cost of the service. Drivers reserve the right to refuse to transport passengers where to do so would exceed the vehicles capacity or if they deem them to be intoxicated or abusive and no refunds will be given in these cases. In the event that a driver fails to arrive we will use our reasonable endeavours to arrange a suitable alternative and if this is not possible we will refund you the cost of the transportation and this will be our total liability to you. Parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring that their children are appropriately strapped in and we accept no liability whatsoever resulting from any failures to do so. If requested a booster seat can be provided subject to availability.     

Liability  

We are not responsible in any way whatsoever for any damage, loss or expense arising in connection with the provision of any service or the rental of any accommodation or equipment including water sports equipment, or arising in connection with any airline, vessel or ground carrier, or for the action or omission of any travel agency or tour operator, or their agents. We are not responsible in any way whatsoever for any damage, loss, delay, harm or expense resulting from inclement weather, acts of terrorism, acts of God, labour unrest, monetary crisis, theft, quarantine restrictions, civil commotion, arrest or restraint by any government, the hazards of war, or any conditions outside of its control. The limit of our liability to you is the full price you paid to us. 

Jurisdiction  

These terms and conditions shall be governed by Jamaican law and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Jamaican courts. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you to SilverSands.Villas.
