Terms and Conditions Definitions:  The words ‘You’ and ‘Your’ include all those people shown on the Booking Form (or any subsequent amendment to the Booking Form). ‘We’, ‘Us’ and ‘Our’ mean Nell Gwynn Pods.  ‘Owner’ means the owner of the Room.  ‘Booking’ means the contractual agreement you make with the Owner from the time of checking-in to the time of checking-out for the supply by the Owner of the room and associated services and ‘Booking Form’ means the information you supply Us before we make the Booking.  ‘Room’ means the accommodation provided by the Owner under the Booking Form.  You are advised before You book with Us to carefully read these terms and conditions (including any emails which We may have sent You in addition to the information provided on Our website).  1. Nell Gwynn Pods  We arrange Your Booking as Agent for the Owner of the Room. Your Booking creates a legal contract with the Owner.  We accept no legal responsibility for Your Booking including any loss, damage or injury to person or property (howsoever caused) arising as a result of the act or neglect of the Owner or any person employed by the Owner in connection with Your Booking.  2. Terms  These terms will apply for the duration of Your Booking and for the Room as described by Us.  3. Pricing  We reserve the right to alter prices (either upward or downward) at any time. We will advise You of the current price at the time of confirming Your Booking.  4. Booking  You must be at least 18 years old when You make Your Booking. When making Your Booking You confirm that You are authorised to do so for all those who will share the accommodation with You and who will be deemed to accept these conditions. You are responsible for making payment of all monies due to Us. We hold monies as Agent for the Owner.  Provided the property remains available when You make Your Booking and We have received all the required payments, We will provide written confirmation by email as soon as reasonably possible. Our email will confirm Your Booking and any monies that remain due from You. Your Booking is deemed to be binding in law, commences as soon as We have issued Our email to You.  It is Your responsibility to check Your emails regularly and to let Us know about any change to Your email address.  We reserve the right to refuse any Booking. If We do this We will inform You immediately by email and promptly return any monies You have paid to Us. In such case, there will not be any Booking and neither We nor the Owner will have any legal responsibility to You.  When You receive Your email confirmation You should check the details very carefully. If anything is incorrect, You should inform Us immediately by email.  5. Number in Your Party  The total number of people who will use the Room (including You) must not exceed the capacity of the accommodation as advertised on Our website nor must the total number of people staying overnight in the Room exceed the number of people You advised Us would be sharing the Room when You made Your Booking. Babies under two years of age will not be counted as members of Your party.  6. Payment  Should You pay by credit card, We will make a charge of not less than 2.5% for processing Your payment. If Your payment is subsequently declined by Your credit card company, We reserve the right to levy an abortive administration charge of up to £25.00. Should You pay by bank transfer Your Bank may charge you for the cost of transfer. We will deduct the charge made to us by Our Bank (currently £18.00) when We return any monies to you.  By Booking with Us You are deemed to have agreed to and authorised any payment for damage to the Room, furniture or equipment as well as any additional cleaning that may be required when the Booking ends together with any charges for unauthorised late check-out. You agree that such amount will become payable immediately at the end of the Booking and authorise Us to take such payment from Your debit or credit card using the card information You provided to Us when making the Booking.  7. Pricing  Our prices include all charges and any UK taxes applicable at the time You make the Booking.  Our prices are for the Room and not ‘per person’.  8. Website and other information  We do Our best to ensure that the information We provide is presented accurately. However, there may be small differences between the Room and its description. This is normally because the Owner has a policy of continually up-grading the Room, its services and facilities. We might occasionally encounter problems which mean that some facilities or services may not be available (or may be restricted). If this happens We will try to tell You as soon as reasonably practicable after We have been made aware of the problem. However We cannot accept responsibility for any such differences or for changes or closures to local services or attractions described on Our website.  9. Changes by You  Should You need to make a change to Your Booking after We have confirmed it (which will include any transfer of Your Booking to someone else), then We reserve the right to charge an administration fee of £25.00 and, in addition, to require immediate payment of any outstanding monies which may be due from You.  10. Refunds  Once a booking is confirmed, no refunds can be made.  11. Bed Linen, Duvets, Towels, etc  We will provide such bed linen, duvets and towels as We shall deem to be reasonably necessary to provide for the number of people staying in the Room.  12.

We reserve the right to charge for the cost of remedial work to the Room, for replacing furniture and/or equipment. We reserve the right to enter the Room during Your Booking (without prior notice where it is not possible to advise You beforehand) for routine cleaning and housekeeping and also in the case of special circumstances or emergencies.  14. Unreasonable Behaviour  We reserve the right to cancel the Booking if the unreasonable behaviour of You or anyone sharing the accommodation with You is considered likely to spoil the enjoyment, comfort or health of any other guests, residents or people in the same or neighbouring buildings. In these circumstances no refund of the Booking cost will be given.  14. Disabilities  Some Rooms may be unsuitable for dis-ambulant visitors.

In the first instance, this should be by telephone to Our office on +44 (0) 20 7589 1105 during working hours and, where possible, also by email.  Where You feel the problem was not dealt with satisfactorily during Your Booking, You must within 28 days of the end of Your Booking write to Us by email and recorded delivery letter to Nell Gwynn Pods, Nell Gwynn House, Sloane Avenue, London SW3 3AX  Our aim is to resolve complaints as soon as possible.  17. Force Majeure  Neither We nor the Owner accept any responsibility nor will We pay any compensation where the provision of the Room (or any matter connected with such provision) is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances which could not have reasonably foreseen. These might include the destruction or damage of the Room (which then cannot reasonably remedied to a satisfactory standard before commencement to of Your booking) through fire, flood, explosion, storm or other weather damage, break-in, criminal damage, riots or civil strife, industrial action, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather or war, actual or threatened terrorist activity, epidemic and all similar situations which are beyond both Our and the Owner’s control.  18.
