CVL are not responsible if the failure:

- is due to Force Majeure.

This assignment is necessary to enable CVL to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to customers and associated costs as a result of a personal injury to customers caused by the negligence of suppliers.
6.3 If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the limits on the CVL's liability, as detailed in these BTC's, are unenforceable, then the Customer agrees that in any event CVL's total liability to the Customer and their party shall not exceed the CVL Deposit Fee.

This does not affect the customer's statutory rights as a consumer, nor does it affect the customer's contract rights (including cancellation rights).

warranties, conditions, duties and other terms of any kind, whether express or implied by statute, 
custom or usage of every nature whatsoever, except any duties of good faith, (including, without limitation, any express or statutory warranties, and any conditions or warranties whether they are implied or not by law of satisfactory quality, non-infringement, compatibility, security, merchantability, accuracy, fitness for particular purpose, timeliness, conditions of completeness, performance, availability, lack of negligence or of workmanlike effort and the use of reasonable care and skill or any implied warranty arising from course of dealing or usage or trade) which but for these BTC's might have effect in relation to the Services provided by CVL.

There may however be occasions when an advertised facility is either modified or not available. The Contract between CVL and the Customer is based solely on the Website.
9.2 General and unlabelled pictures are understood to illustrate an aspect or the region or the country, and not to have any specific connection with any Accommodation featured on the same or other pages. Furniture may sometimes vary from Website pictures due to refurbishment.

10. Swimming Pools and Other Facilities
Where a swimming pool or any other facility is referred to as being available for use, such availability is at the Owner's discretion and is understood to be conditional upon: - (a) seasonality (often mid June to mid September depending on region); (b) favourable prevailing weather conditions as judged by the local Owner; (c) temporary or unavoidable closure necessitated by: - the Owner's essential maintenance programme, accident, damage or malfunction of equipment, and in the case of swimming pools: compliance with any water conservation regulations imposed in times of drought, damage or malfunction of the mains water supply. The above are understood to be a result of Force Majeure and not to reflect on CVL's failure to deliver an advertised facility.

11. Behaviour and Accommodation
11.1 The Owner reserves the right in their absolute discretion to terminate the occupation of the Accommodation by the Customer and their party, if the behaviour of the Customer and any of their party, is likely, in the opinion of the Owner to cause distress, damage, annoyance or danger to the Owner, any third party or their property. CVL will not give any refunds and the Customer will be responsible for any expenses CVL or the Owner incurs as a result of the behaviour of the Customer and their party. Furthermore, CVL will be under no obligation whatsoever to pay the Customer compensation or cover any costs the Customer or any of their party may incur as a result of having to make alternative arrangements. CVL reserves the right to refuse any bookings that CVL think will be a nuisance to the Owner.

12. Data Protection
CVL will store and use the information the Customer supplies to CVL and may also use the information for the purposes set out in CVL's Privacy Policy. This applies to any sensitive information that the Customer gives to CVL such as details of disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. The Customer will be/would have been asked to agree to CVL's use at the appropriate time. If the Customer does not agree, CVL cannot accept the booking. The Customer authorises their travel insurers and their agents to disclose to CVL such information as CVL may reasonably request in the unlikely event that the Customer should become involved in some form of emergency. (If CVL cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, CVL cannot provide the Services. In making the booking, the Customer's consents to this information being passed on to the relevant persons).
