1. Rental contract/rental agreement
The rental contract is an agency agreement that regulates the rental of the booked holiday home. The rented holiday home is not owned by Sol og Strand Feriehusudlejning A/S (hereafter referred to as Sol og Strand), but by a third party. The agreement is made directly between the renter and Sol og Strand but it is on behalf of the owner. The agreement is binding. The rental agreement covers the named holiday home and all of the accessories that are stated in the description of the holiday home. The holiday home may not be occupied by more persons than the number of persons stated in the description without prior special permission. By entering into this rental agreement, the renter declares that they are 18 years old or older and are legally competent. If all of the persons who shall stay in the holiday home are aged 15–25 years, they will be considered a youth group, and in some cases this means that the owner must give prior approval before the agreement is binding. The person whose name is stated on the rental agreement must be present during the rental period and is also liable for any damage or misuse of the holiday home.
Neither the owner nor Sol og Strand can be held liable for noise nuisance from building activity, neighbours, traffic or similar. If the holiday home has a pool, spa or in the case of remedying complaints, the owner has agreed that service personnel may enter the house either with or without notification given to the renter.
If the renter, in connection with entering into the rental agreement, enters into an agreement concerning the purchase of other services, for example admission tickets for amusement parks and cultural events or for ferry tickets, these are independent agreements with the suppliers of the services in question. Deficiencies or delays in relation to these services under no circumstances give the renter the right to seek remedy for breach of contract in relation to the rental agreement made with Sol og Strand. The agreement is not covered by the rules on package holidays or combined services.
Agents and internet portals etc. do not have permission to enter into agency agreements with renters that deviate from these rental terms and conditions.
2. Cleaning and damages
The renter is contractually obligated to clean the holiday home and to leave it clean and tidy at the end of the rental period. Any necessary cleaning will be carried out solely at the renter’s expense. The final cleaning of the holiday home can be ordered from Sol og Strand for a payment. Because of liability to the owner of the holiday home, the renter is not allowed to assign their cleaning obligation to a third party.
The renter is responsible for everything that belongs to the holiday home and is also liable for any damage caused to the holiday home or its furniture, fixtures and fittings and inventory during the renter’s stay. However, refer to the terms and conditions in relation to house contents insurance and third-party liability insurance applicable when entering into the agreement, cf. point 9. Should any damage occur to the holiday home, its furniture, fixtures and fittings or inventory during the stay, the renter is obligated to notify Sol og Strand immediately. The renter must report to the nearest Sol og Strand local office, whose address, e-mail address and telephone number is stated on the rental agreement. Damage/defects, which are discovered after the renter’s departure, will be repaired at the renter’s expense, unless the damage/defects are covered by insurance coverage for this, cf. point 9.
3. Insurance of the renter
With regard to this agreement, no form of insurance has been taken out by Sol og Strand to cover personal injury that the renter or the renter’s companions may suffer during the rental period or damage to the renter’s or the renter’s companions’ property that may occur during the rental period.
4. Force majeure and/or other unusual events
