Accommodation T&Cs Expand For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, ‘NYMR' means North Yorkshire Moors Railway Trust (Charity Registration Number 501388) whose registered office is at Pickering Station, Pickering, North Yorkshire YO18 7AJ. ‘Visitor’ means the person named in the confirmation letter (the “Confirmation Letter”). 1 Agreement 1.1 The making of a booking (unless cancelled within 7 working days of receipt of the Confirmation Letter) will form an agreement on these Terms and Conditions (the ‘Agreement’) between the Visitor and NYMR for the holiday rental of the accommodation shown in the Confirmation Letter or as otherwise agreed in writing by NYMR and the Visitor (the ‘Accommodation’). 1.2 NYMR permits the Visitor to occupy the Accommodation for the period shown in the Confirmation Letter (“Holiday Period”) together with the use of the furniture, fixtures and effects. 1.3 The Visitor will be responsible for all payments and for any damage whether caused by the Visitor or his or her party. References to ‘party’ in these Terms and Conditions will include the Visitor’s family, servants, agents or guests. The Visitor agrees to make his or her party aware of these terms and conditions” 1.4 The Confirmation Letter will show the holiday price at the time of booking. The holiday price is subject to change in the event that the price is increased during a pricing review of accommodation (which will take place in Autumn each year to take effect in the relevant following calendar year). In the event of a change in the holiday price the Visitor will be informed in writing as soon as possible. NYMR will then ask the Visitor to confirm whether they wish to confirm the agreed new price or confirm that they no longer wish to continue with the booking. Should the Visitor choose not to continue they shall be entitled to a full refund. If NYMR has not heard back from the Visitor within 4 weeks it shall notify them again and if it has still not received confirmation within a further 4 weeks it shall have the right to terminate the booking. In such circumstances, NYMR will only be liable for the return of the deposit. It is important in order for NYMR to correspond with the Visitor that the Visitor keeps NYMR notified of any changes in their contact details by writing to NYMR Customer Services, Pickering Station, Pickering, North Yorkshire YO18 7AJ. 2 Deposit For bookings made 8 weeks or more in advance, the booking for a holiday will become firm when a deposit of £200 has been received by NYMR. Up to that time it will be a provisional booking, and provisional bookings are normally held for a maximum of 7 working days. For bookings made for a holiday less than 8 weeks away, full payment will be required at time of booking. 3 VAT The holiday price includes Value Added Tax (“VAT”). If rates of VAT change from that included in the holiday price, NYMR reserves the right to amend prices accordingly. 4 Payment All payments can be accepted in Pounds Sterling by a credit or debit card, or by cheque made payable to ‘North Yorkshire Moors Railway’. 5 Final Payment The full balance of the total holiday cost (including any increase following a revision of prices in accordance with clause 1.4) will be payable not later than eight weeks before the holiday begins. If the full balance is not paid on time NYMR shall notify the Visitor and the Visitor will have 30 days to pay. If payment is still not received, NYMR reserves the right to cancel the holiday booking, in which case it shall be entitled to damages and any other costs that it suffers under general principles of English contract law. If the sum is less than or equal to the deposit NYMR shall retain the sum owing to it and return any balance as applicable. 6 Cancellation The reservation may be cancelled at any time by the Visitor giving NYMR notice in writing. A 100% cancellation charge will be payable. On receipt of the written cancellation NYMR will endeavour to re-book the Accommodation for the Holiday Period and, if successful for the whole or part of the period, will refund the relevant proportion of the money paid 7 NYMR Right To Refuse/Alter 7.1 NYMR reserves the right to refuse any booking. 7.2 NYMR reserves the right to cancel or alter arrangements made for the Visitor whether before or during the relevant visit (a) in any circumstance which arises from or is attributable to acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond the reasonable control of NYMR or (b) where in the reasonable opinion of NYMR it is necessary to perform or complete essential remedial or refurbishment works. 7.3 If a booking has to be cancelled by NYMR, it will take reasonable steps to offer an alternative booking. If NYMR is not able to offer such an alternative or the Visitor does not accept the alternative offered or the altered holiday arrangements (as the case may be), NYMR will return to the Visitor the relevant proportion of the money paid by the Visitor to NYMR in respect of the Accommodation and will not otherwise be liable for any loss caused by cancellation or alteration if it arises out of circumstances beyond its control. 7.4 Where 7.2 (b) applies NYMR shall offer the Visitor accommodation in the same or a higher price band (at no additional cost) or in a lower band (where the difference will be reimbursed). 8 Change of Booking There will be a fee of £25.00 (twenty-five pounds) for any transferred booking, and bookings may not be transferred within one month of the Visitor's holiday, or from one calendar year to another. A transferred booking is from one accommodation to another, a change in the Visitor, or from one date to another. If the transfer requested also involves reducing the length of the holiday, it will be regarded as a cancellation. 9 Visitor Accommodation Limitation Occupation must be limited to the maximum number of persons for the accommodation stated in the literature or on the NYMR website. 10 Joint Bookings The booking should be made in one name only and that person (the Visitor) shall not, without the written consent of NYMR, assign the booking. 11 Services Unless otherwise stated in writing, the holiday price will include all charges for water, gas, electricity, or oil.

NYMR excludes liability for loss or damage to any belongings, or for death or injury sustained to the Visitor or members of his or her party during their stay at the Accommodation except to the extent that such injury or loss or damage to any belongings is directly caused by the negligence or default or breach of NYMR of any duty. 12.2 The Visitor shall be liable for and indemnify NYMR against any liabilities, damages, claims, costs, losses (whether direct or indirect and including loss of profits) and expenses incurred or paid by NYMR arising from the Visitor’s use or occupation of the Accommodation which arise from any breach by the Visitor of his or her obligations under the Agreement or from any negligence or wilful default of the Visitor and/or the Visitor’s party. 13 Pets Up to two dogs are welcome to join you on your stay, an extra charge of £50.00 per weeks applicable.

Should the Visitor find on arrival that there is a problem, or cause for complaint, the Visitor should immediately contact the local representative, whose details can be found in the welcome pack.
