Terms & Conditions

When you book with Corfu Villas and Apartments (Mrs D Giannoulis), you agree to the terms and conditions stated here. Please ensure that you read them.

1. Definitions and Interpretations
In these Booking Terms & Conditions, Corfu Villas Apartments means Mrs. Diana Giannoulis, t/a Corfu Villas and Apartments, 64 Sky Apartments, Hackney Wick, London E9 5FA, and includes agents or employees.

“The Client” shall mean the person in whose name the booking is made and shall include the person or persons on whose behalf the same is made;

“Force Majeure” shall mean any event outside Corfu Villas Apartments’s control which prevents the prompt performance of its obligations, including war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural disaster, fire, epidemic, outbreaks of illness, or adverse weather conditions.

2. Booking and Deposit
When you book a holiday you must pay the deposit as advised (or full amount if departure is within 6 weeks). When you make a booking, you are confirming that you understand, and have accepted our terms & conditions on behalf of yourself and all members of your party. A confirmation invoice will be issued by us. TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCLUDE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING OUT HOLIDAY INSURANCE, INCLUDING COVID 19 COVER, SO THAT YOU ARE COVERED IN THE EVENT OF NECESSITY TO CHANGE/CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION.

The deposit shall only be refundable in accordance with Booking Terms & Conditions No. 5 or 6. Corfu Villas Apartments has the right to refuse to accept any bookings at their discretion.

3. Terms of Payment
The full balance of the holiday price (including any charges made by any supplementary invoice) must be paid by the due date shown on the initial confirmation/invoice (either 9 weeks prior to date of departure or by return within this period). Corfu Villas Apartments has the right to send the Client a supplementary invoice to cover any of the subsequent charges which Booking Condition No. 4 allows the Company to pass on to the Client rather than absorb them.

These charges become part of the holiday price and are payable by return. The Company reserves the right to treat the booking as cancelled if any part of the balance of the holiday price remains unpaid by the due date.

If cancelled, the cancellation terms as per Booking Condition No. 8 will apply.

Any additional or newly imposed government taxes or charges are not included in your arrangement with Corfu Villas Apartments and are payable locally.

4. Alterations by the Company
Whilst we endeavour to ensure that the most up to date and correct prices are shown on our website there may on occasion be an incorrect price shown, due to an unfortunate error. When we become aware of any such error, we will ensure that we act promptly and will endeavour to notify you within 7 days of the time of booking, or as soon as reasonably possible. We must reserve the right to cancel the booking and you will be given the choice to amend your booking to an alternative holiday, at the correct price.

i) The arrangements featured on our website are planned many months in advance and amendments do occasionally become inevitable. In the majority of cases such changes would be considered by Corfu Villas Apartments to be minor, in which case the Company shall have absolute discretion as to whether the Client is or is not notified.
ii) If a change which the Corfu Villas Apartments considers to be major becomes necessary, Corfu Villas Apartments will inform the Client or his travel agent as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before departure. A major change to the holiday arrangements might involve offering accommodation of a lower standard than that booked.

You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling your holiday booked and receiving a full refund of all monies paid.

The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so. Compensation will not be payable if we are forced to cancel, or in any way change your holiday due to circumstances which can be described as Force Majeure. For the avoidance of doubt, flight delays are not considered to be alterations by the Company.

5. Cancellation by Corfu Villas Apartments
Corfu Villas Apartments has the right to cancel a Client’s holiday in the following circumstances:
a) At any time owing to Force Majeure, in which case the Company shall offer alternative dates to be chosen by the client.
b) At the due date if the Client has failed to pay the full balance of the holiday price in accordance with Booking Condition No. 3, in which case cancellation charges as per Booking Condition No. 8 will apply.
c) At any time, at Corfu Villas Apartments’s discretion, in which case the Company shall make the offer as mentioned in paragraph (a) above, but should this be within 8 weeks before the date of departure, compensation will be paid in accordance with the scale shown in Booking Condition No. 5.

6. Alterations by the Client
a) Once your booking has been confirmed any changes to accommodation, any request for changes must be in writing from the person who made the booking or their travel agent. 
b) If a Client chooses to change their booking by transferring it to another person, the Company will arrange for such a transfer, provided that:
b i) The reason for the transfer of the booking is that the Client is prevented from travelling. In this event the Client will need to provide documentary proof (such as a doctor’s certificate) of the reason before the Company will authorise a transfer and:
b ii) The Client or the transferee, pays any balance due before the transfer is authorised by us and;
c) If a Client chooses to modify or abandon the arrangements after commencement of the holiday (e.g. change accommodation or the duration of the stay), they will be deemed to be breaking their contract with the Company and the Company cannot accept liability for any loss, damage or additional expenses resulting therefrom and no refunds for unused services or arrangements will be made unless the Company is at fault and has been given the opportunity to rectify the problem.

7. Cancellation by the Client
All cancellations by the Client must be in writing from the person who made the booking. Cancellation applies only from the date of receipt by the Company of the cancellation notification. If the cancellation notification is received 64 days or more before the departure date, only the holiday deposit is forfeit, plus any costs incurred by us for non-refundable or non changeable travel reservations. Thereafter, the following percentage of the total holiday price will be payable as a cancellation charge by the Client (apart from the exceptions below):

The following cancellation charge applies:

Between 63 days and the departure date or later 100%

The above cancellation charges represent a reasonable estimate by the Company of the likely losses resulting from your cancellation. Cancellation charges also apply to partial cancellations (e.g. where a Client books for two weeks but amends to one week. In this case, cancellation charges would apply to the second cancelled week). In the event of a cancellation charge arising under this clause the amount due must be paid by the Client to the Company within 7 days of the charge arising, notwithstanding the fact that the Client’s holiday insurance policy may cover the cancellation charge. It is the Client’s responsibility to claim any insurance monies due as the Company cannot claim on behalf of the Client.

If a Client wishes to change or part cancel accommodation, dates or names of the party, we will endeavour to secure such a change provided the Client pays all costs incurred by us.

We would strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance which provides cover against loss of deposit or cancellation fees.

8. Liability of the Company
Corfu Villas Apartments will accept responsibility if due to fault on our part, any part of your holiday arrangements booked before your departure from the UK is not as described on our website, or not of a reasonable standard. We do not accept responsibility if and to the extent that any failure of your holiday arrangements, is not caused by any fault of ours, or our agents or suppliers; is caused by you; is caused by someone not connected with your holiday arrangements or is due to unforeseen circumstances which, even with all due care, we or our agents or suppliers could not have anticipated or avoided.

Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday rental cost from us. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport Users’ Council on 020 7240 6061 WWW.AUC.ORG.UK.

Our suppliers (such as transport providers) have their own Booking Terms & Conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability to you. 

Operational decisions may be taken by air carriers and airports resulting in delays, diversions or rescheduling. The Company has no control over such decisions, and is therefore unable to accept responsibility for them. Where, as a result of Force Majeure we are obliged to change or end your holiday after departure, but before the end of your holiday, we will not pay compensation or reimburse you for expenses incurred. You must have adequate travel insurance for your holiday, including insurance covering Covid 19, and claim via your insurance company for any loss or damage to luggage and/or personal possessions.

The Company shall not be liable for any noise, nuisance, disturbance or building work arising outside the accommodation supplied by the Company and caused by third parties beyond the control of the Company. A situation may develop, sometimes rapidly and intrusively, with little or no advance warning. The Company shall, however, make every effort to minimise such noise, nuisance or disturbance and forewarn the Client if the Company has knowledge of this.

All “accommodation only” holidays are not governed by the terms and conditions of an Air Travel Organisers Licence (ATOL) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority nor are they covered by the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. Corfu Villas Apartments provides accommodation only holidays and we are not liable in any way for any other aspects of your travel arrangements that you have made.

9. Insurance
It is essential that clients have insurance cover which is adequate for their needs. The Company reserves the right to refuse to accept bookings from clients who are not adequately insured against holiday risks. Clients must provide evidence of adequate insurance.

10. Photographs
These are intended to give an overall impression of properties, rather than of specific accommodation. The Company is not liable for any items of furniture or chattels, which appear in the photographs, which may have been changed or removed from the villa and any aspects of the villa environment which may have changed since the photographs were taken.

11. Complaints
Any dispute or complaint which Clients may have concerning their holiday arrangements, must be reported immediately by telephone, followed in writing to Corfu Villas Apartments’S local representative, on the 24 hour contact numbers provided on the itinerary and other documents) either immediately if urgent, or within 48 hours of the complaint or dissatisfaction arising. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday but to write a letter of complaint on return. If a Client fails to follow this procedure, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify any complaint whilst Client were in resort, and this will affect the way in which we deal with the complaint and it may affect a Client’s rights under this contract.

Any complaint which cannot be satisfactorily resolved in the resort must be reported in writing or via email, within 28 days of the Client’s return from holiday. Upon receipt of a Client’s letter, we will acknowledge it, investigate the points raised, and reply within 28 days. If this is not possible, we will send an interim letter, advising of our progress.

This contract is governed by English law and both parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of English courts. You may however choose the jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if that is where you live.

We reserve the right in our absolute discretion to terminate or curtail your holiday if your behaviour is likely, in our reasonable opinion or that of our suppliers to cause distress, damage, annoyance and danger to our employees or to any third party, or their property. If you are prevented from travelling or have to return home early for this reason, we will have no further responsibility for your holiday, including any arrangements for your return home. We will impose full cancellation charges and will not give any refunds. Furthermore, we will be under no obligation to pay you compensation or cover any costs which you may incur as a result of having to make alternative arrangements.

Corfu Villas Apartments requires clients to guarantee any damage, loss or unpaid local charges at our properties.. Therefore when you confirm a booking with us, you are required to accept full responsibility for any damage, loss or unpaid local charges during your stay. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) or unpaid local charges must be paid directly during your stay to representative of Corfu Villas Apartments. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. Where damage is not identified until after your departure, we reserve the right to subsequently request full payment for this. If you fail to make payment when required, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs).

When we transfer your data overseas
We share your personal data within the Company. This may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission, which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

How we secure your data
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or made available to others. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

How long we retain your data for
How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In addition to the above, by law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: you can contact us and request erasure.

Request access; To your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction; Of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure; Of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing; of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information, which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
1. if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
2. where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
3. where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
4. you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time;Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
