Cancellation policy:
. CANCELLATION BY THE CUSTOMER AND COMPENSATION 5.1 The customer can withdraw from the contract at any time. In the interests of the customer, it is strongly recommended to advise Oliveta of the cancellation in writing, thereby also providing proof. 5.2 Cancellation becomes effective on the day the customer's declaration of cancellation is received by Oliveta. The compensation claim will be estimated as a fixed amount, at a percentage rate of the rental price according to the cancellation date as per the following scale: 30% of the total rental cost if the cancellation occurs from the first day after the booking has been made until 154 days prior to the beginning of the rental period, less bank fees. 50% of the total rental cost for cancellations occurring between the 153rd and the 34th day prior to the beginning of the rental period, less bank fees. 100% of the total rental cost for cancellations occurring between the 34rth and the day of your arrival. Refunds on cancellations for any reasons whatsoever are not provided beyond that which is covered in the cancellation policy as stated above. 5.3 If the customer fails to arrive at the holiday property and has not expressly made a declaration of cancellation, the rental payment is still payable in full. The customer cannot claim a refund if they arrive later or depart earlier. 5.4 The customer is entitled to provide a substitute to come in their stead and who will assume all the rights and obligations in the contract concluded with the original customer. Oliveta must be informed of this immediately and sent the personal details of the replacement tenant (surname, first name, address, gender, date of birth and nationality). 5.5 There can be no reduction in the price for a retrospective reduction in the number of people once the booking has been finalised. 5.6 If the accommodation or booking date is changed after the reservation confirmation has been issued, this is considered as a cancellation followed by a new booking. 5.7 The customer is strongly recommended to take out insurance covering the costs of cancelling the booking.
