Swiss Chalets Ltd is a company registered in the UK referred to below as 'us' or 'we'
These terms and conditions apply to advertisers and are changed and updated regularly

THIS SECTION DEALS WITH ADVERTISING SERVICES, (LINK TO PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES)

Advertising Services Available
1) We create web pages for your property on this web site and set rental prices that are 'fair to all', being comparable with those of other owners
2) The enquiries come to us and we respond as your agent
3) We also deal with enquiries and bookings you receive direct from friends or from other advertising you do if you choose to refer these to us
4) We maintain an online availability calendar for your property
5) We issue invoices to guests for the rental deposit, the rental balance and the damage deposit (they are paid by credit card or bank transfer)

7) We email regular statements to you showing your rental income and expenditure and monies paid to you
8) We buy advertising space on other web sites and place your property online with them

Space on this web site is limited so we are sorry but may have to cancel or refuse to take your advertisement in the following cases

1) If you normally deal with guests direct or if use our high search engine ranking to enable guests to search online for your property then track down your private web page
2) If you display or quote prices that are inconsistent with those on this web site
3) If by your actions you create an impossible working relationship.

Advertising & agency charges

10% commission on the 'total rental' (80 CHF min)
- on rentals dealt with by us
7.5% commission
- on the rental price on this website when guests contact us then deal with you
500 CHF fee
- website setup, normally paid from the first rental monies we obtain
25 CHF fee

The agreements you enter into when advertising on this web site
The agreement to rent is between you and the guest and the rules are as stated on the Rental Conditions page
We are your letting agent for enquiries we receive or that are passed on to us by you
There is no formal contract to sign so you can remove your advertisement at any time and similarly we can withdraw our services at any time

We set your rental prices, see a typical prices page Price_FORGETMENOT_luxury_self_catering_ski_chalet.asp
There are four grading bands on this web site:
Grading band 1 means Practical
Grading band 2 means Comfortable
Grading band 3 means Excellent
Grading band 4 means Luxury
To be 'fair to all' we pitch your prices so they relate to the prices of other owners according to grading, size and location
Please adopt these prices without discount or undercutting when quoting guests that contact you direct or when advertising elsewhere
Prices are split into seasons: Christmas/NewYear, Winter, February Holidays, Spring, Summer, Autumn and dates for these seasons are set by us

Inconsistent pricing is confusing for guests so please use the prices displayed here when advertising elsewhere or on your web site
If you display a lower price elsewhere then to be competitive we will have to reduce the price displayed on this web site
If your 'seasonal price bands' don't match ours it adds to the confusion and we then have to use the minimum price you display
When paying you: If you display lower prices elsewhere we must substitute the price you advertise elsewhere for the 'total rental'

Paying You
1) Payments from guests are deposited with the UBS in a Swiss Franc non interest bearing account. They belong to the guest until the rental ends
2) We email a statement showing the 'total rental' received for each let and expenses
3) The 'total rental' is the payment received from a guest which has cleared in the UBS bank
4) When payments are made they are done by online transfer in Swiss Francs

Things to do
WHEN YOU MANAGE THE PROPERTY YOURSELF:
1) Ensure cleaning & laundry work are to a high standard + items 4, 5 & 6 below

8) Take a damage deposit from all paying guests that you deal with direct

The booking process
1) In order to offer a fast and efficient booking service we do not refer rental enquiries to you before processing them
2) We will process any enquiry if your availability calendar on this site indicates the dates are available
