Any such modification will be effective immediately upon public posting. Your continued use of our Service and this Site following any such modification constitutes your acceptance of these modified Terms.

Party Policy: Zero Tolerance
NOTE: MaisonNets follows best practice policies to ensure the properties we represent for short-term accommodation are safe, secure and protected and not damaged. As these properties are not in commercial areas Government regulators and Councils also have strict rules and requirements for holiday letting and will prosecute those who book properties for holiday/short term who dont abide by the short term holiday letting regulations. Reasons such as: noise, disturbance, parties and overcrowding etc... MaisonNets has fair yet strict guidelines also. We require an undertaking from guests and clients who book for short term accommodation only not to have parties, events or gatherings and give an assurance that the property rented is for the use of registered guests and for the use of those people. A day/evening visit/luncheon/dinner by a few friends is fine if confirmed with the MaisonNets team in advance.

Party/Disturbance Procedures: In the event an unsolicited event/party ensues at a MaisonNets managed property, then the procedure is as follows:

Our Concierges will phone first and if the issue is not resolved attend immediately (at your cost) and attempt to resolve the concern. If a resolution is not forthcoming they will request immediate eviction as per this agreement. If this is met with resistance the Concierges are instructed to call Private Security (at your cost for a minimum of 4 hrs for 2x Security Personal). Our Private Security team will secure the premises, safeguard from damage and remain indefinitely or until the property is secure (this is at the Security/Caretakers discretion). The Police will also be called and if Councils are alerted further fines to you may arise. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions below you agree to this procedure and all costs being as set out in clause 13. As explained above, this costly, zero tolerance approach is necessary to protect our homes.

We are not unreasonable and encourage guests to talk to us if they are concerned communication can solve anything. We know that 99.9% of our guests are respectful and responsible people who simply wish to unwind in comfort and enjoy their holiday this is what we strive to provide. Please, if in doubt, talk to us as these measures are not designed to prevent our guests from the normal, relaxing use of a holiday home only to prevent those who believe having a party is acceptable.

Welcome:
We welcome you to this property where guests can relax and unwind in comfort and coziness. MaisonNets strives to ensure that each and every guest enjoys an experience beyond their expectations; if you have any special requests please let us know in contacting us. We ask that you please read and abide by the terms and conditions (especially our strictly enforced no party policy) We ask guests to show the utmost care and responsibility as it is expected that the property and furnishings be returned in the exact same condition at the end of a stay as at the beginning. Before booking please understand it is a requirement that any damage and/or accidents, unintentional or otherwise, are a responsibility of the guest and that the guest will meet these costs, small or large. Given its definition we do accept that accidents may occur but any accident is the responsibility of the guest.

Of course MaisonNets will always go above and beyond to repair/replace by the most cost effective means in order to restore the property to the same condition as it was before the guest took occupancy. On arrival our caretaker will always show you through the property and can be on hand for your exit therefore if there are any concerns guests can raise them on the spot.

It is important that guests choose a property to suit their expectations whilst knowing ours, it is our expectation that our properties are solely used for quiet holiday purposes and that guests understand their responsibilities before booking. Of course if there are any questions, please ask and we will be more than happy to explain to ensure you experience your perfect getaway. We thank you and look forward to welcoming you soon.

In the event that repairs are to be made the bond will be kept indefinitely until such point as repairs can be assessed and made. The bond will be kept until the damage is resolved, at which point the money will either be in full or part refunded to the guest or in full or part paid to the owner of the property for the damage caused. Further payments may be required if there is loss or damage exceeding this amount. Agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of this agreement gives MaisonNets permission to deposit these monies into our account and, at the conclusion of this contract, direct monies to be paid to the owner of the property, less commissions, paid to MaisonNets and agents where applicable. Any bond claim will also be subject to a $50 per hour administration charge.

3. Guest Payment Terms & Cancellations:
The guest pays a non-refundable booking deposit equal to 25 % of the total booking amount once you accept the booking request, and pays the remaining balance 28 days prior to arrival (2 - 28 days). The guest pays 100% of the booking amount if their booking request date is within this period. If the guest cancels their booking within 28 days of arrival (2 - 28 days), MaisonNets keeps 100% of the total booking amount. If the guest cancels their booking before this, MaisonNets keeps the booking deposit amount (as per our 'Guest payment terms' settings above). Month to month tenancy can be ended at any time, for any reason, by either side. The only requirement is that the person who wants to end the arrangement must give proper legal notice ahead of time to the other side. The notice must be in writing, and it must give "one full rental period" of notification.

4. House Manager:
The person signing this confirmation will be designated as the house manager and will be nominated as the primary contact. The house manager must be 18 years of age or older, warrants that he/she is authorized to agree to this agreement on behalf of all occupants and takes full responsibility to ensure that all occupants (and any guests or invitees of such occupants) understand and agree to this agreement.

Our property Guest Concierge will meet you at the property at your agreed time from 3pm onwards and hand over keys. We require your arrival time as the Concierge does not live on site. If we cannot meet you at the property, we will organize a way to hand you over the keys (local business, neighbor, keybox, etc). Early check-in or late check-out will be accommodated when possible and charged at half of the daily rate on the day of check-in/check-out. A $100 deduction will be charged with each Concierge callout for key related issues. Additional charges might apply if we need to replace the keys.

Please contact the caretaker the day before your arrival to confirm your arrival time. If you wish an early arrival it is best to contact the Concierge a day before your booking, early arrivals cannot be granted outside of this (as we might have a booking before you). Same policy for late check-out, the Concierge will happily grant a late check-out unless we have an arrival on your departure day and the property needs to be cleaned. Additional charges might apply for early check-in and late check-out. An earlier check and late check is not available during the peak summer season.

7. Telephone & Internet:
Varies from property to property, please refer to property details or ask MaisonNets Guest Concierge. We cannot guarantee phone or Internet coverage at any property.

9. Housekeeping & Maintenance:
There is a cleaning charge for each property, this includes all general cleaning but not extraordinary cleaning if the home is left extra-ordinarily unclean. Extra services can be arranged for an additional fee.

If you happen to be a guest during rubbish evenings it is a guests responsibility to ensure the bins are available for council collection, any questions please ask the Guest Concierge.

If your behaviour or that of your guests causes damage, danger or annoyance we reserve the right to ask you to vacate the property immediately.
