BALI VILLA ESCAPES PTY LTD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Bali Villa Escapes Pty Ltd   (BVE) and Bali Villa Escapes ACN 641 939 737 General Terms and Conditions are below. Villa Properties are unique, and Guests should refer to the specific  Terms and conditions in their Booking Confirmation Letter applicable to their individual Villa.

PAYMENT TERMS

The  50% Deposit Payment must be received within 3 business days of receipt of the Confirmation Letter to secure the booking.

Payment of the deposit constitutes confirmation of the Reservation and acceptance of the Booking Terms and conditions.

Guests must instruct their bank to include all relevant fees and charges in the amount transferred to ensure that BVE receives the full payment.  Any shortfall due to bank fees or charges must be rectified before check-in.

50% Balance Payment is to be paid 40 days before the check-in date (Low Season & High Season) and  70 days before the check-in date (Peak Season).

Where the booking is made less than  40 days before the check-in date (Low Season & High Season) or less than 70 days before the check-in date (Peak Season), the deposit AND the balance payment must be paid together within 48 hours of making the reservation (Peak Season: 20 December – 8 January; High Season: Easter Week & 16 June – 15 September; and Low Season: All other dates).

Where the 50% Balance Payment is not received by the due date above, the Reservation will be cancelled and the Deposit Payment forfeited.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AND EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS

Please note that BVE is required by Indonesian law to issue invoices in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).  The invoice guests receive from BVE is based on the median IDR exchange rate and includes a 3% credit card fee. Guests should be aware that when paying by credit card, a guest’s credit card provider buys IDR at rates that may be subject to significant fluctuation, and they may also add significant fees for the transaction.  BVE cannot control these variables. On some occasions, currency fluctuations may favour the purchaser; however, on other occasions, there may be a significant increase from the amount of the invoice issued by BVE to the amount billed to the guest by the credit card provider.

Please also be aware that in assessing exchange rates, guests should not calculate conversions based on exchange rate sites that quote seller rates that are always significantly higher than the buyer rates, which will be charged by a guest’s credit card provider. For an accurate assessment, guests should contact their credit card provider directly.
