Summary of Terms and Conditions

Pending Reservation

Sonoma Farmhouse is holding the above reservation for you, to be confirmed upon: 1) receipt of a complete Rental Agreement Form, signed and completed by you; and 2) upon receiving payment confirmation for your 50% Rental Deposit from your credit card company. If we do not receive the Rental Deposit or a signed and completed agreement within 24 hours or 1 day, we reserve the right to offer rental of the property to others.

Payment

Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, or AMEX credit card. The initial 50% Rental Deposit is charged to your authorized credit card upon submittal and receipt of this Rental Agreement. The Final Rental Payment (including the refundable Security Deposit) will be automatically charged to your authorized credit card 10 days prior to your arrival, unless otherwise specified.

Security Deposit

A $700 Security Deposit taken from your authorized credit card is provided as security against damage to the house or property, theft, late check-out, and violation of any of the renter’s agreements contained in this Agreement. Final settlement of the Security Deposit will be made as soon as possible, but in no event later than 45 days after departure date. Refund of your Security Deposit will be issued by Check and will be mailed to the address provided on this agreement.

Arrival/Departure Times

Check-in starts at 3 pm on the arrival date and departure must occur by 11 am on the departure date. Early check-in and late check-out times are possible by prior arrangement, but can only be confirmed several days before the arrival date, since they are dependent on the schedules of other guests.

Cancellations

Either party may cancel the rental up to 45 days prior to the arrival date. There is a $50 administrative fee if you cancel your reservation in whole or part. If you cancel the rental in whole or part on shorter notice than 45 days, and if we are unable to re-book the Sonoma Farmhouse for all or part of your confirmed stay at the same rate, we will retain any Rental Deposit as liquidated damages as required to pay such applicable rate.
