Advertisers are not permitted to place any links, web site addresses, re-directions or pointers to any other site from this site. Nor can any e-mail address or other contact details be place in the advert without prior written permission from Holiday Villa Direct. (Contact can easily be established with potential customers because we provide an e-mail link between renters and owners in every advert. This condition is in place for a variety of reasons. This allows both holidayvilladirect.com and the owner of the rental property to monitor the success of our web site.

It is also a preventative measure to prevent owners receiving spam e-mail.)

Any advert or content deemed potentially illegal, defamatory, offensive or in any other way inappropriate will be removed from this site. The decision as to what material falls in to those categories is entirely at the discretion of holiday Villa Direct.

Holiday Villa Direct reserve the right to refuse any advertising that we deem to be unsuitable. The decision as to what is unsuitable will be based on the condition above and on an assessment as to the adverts suitability and compatibility with the design, functionality, aims and goals of this site i.e. to fairly and honestly promote rental properties abroad to holidaymaker's.

Advertisers may alter adverts at any time. To maintain the integrity of the site we are notified of any changes made to your advertisement. We reserve the right to edit or remove any content that we deem necessary in order fulfil any of our terms and conditions, to enhance the advert or to improve the adverts effectiveness or our sites functionality. Holiday villa Direct are the sole arbitrators of that decision.

Whilst every effort is made to make our web site and your advert appealing, we cannot make any guarantee about the adverts effectiveness.

We will endeavour to fairly promote all rental properties however no guarantee can be given as to where your advertisement will be listed on this site.

Where payment for an advertisement is required this must have been made in full prior to details being uploaded onto the site.

We will try to offer advice and assistance to owners where possible in order to maximize your rental potential. However rentals remain the sole responsibility of the property owners. Ultimately we are purely an introductory body.

Holiday Villa Direct aim to introduce potential holidaymaker's / customers to those offering property for rent. We are not in any way involved in any contract or agreement between the two. We strongly advise both holidaymaker's and property owners to make reasonable enquiries to protect their own interests and to agree to a legally binding contract to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes at a later date. Holiday Villa Direct are a third party and are not subject to any rental agreements or contracts.

We advise all renters and property owners to take every possible step to protect themselves, for example renters should always verify the personal details of the owner and obtain references about both the owner and the property.  Any legitimate owner will be happy to accept payment in a way that can assist you to confirm their identity, location and name, for example a bank transfer into an account in their name at a location geographically close to their home. Any legitimate owner will be happy to let you 'phone them at home, write to them at home and to verify there address by electoral role or any of the multitude of other address verification methods available today. These are the bare minimum checks and we advise that you take as many steps as possible to protect yourself from Internet fraud. It is impractical and virtually impossible for us to check every owner who advertises on our site for a variety of reasons. However the likely hood is that you will only be renting one property, so we wish to make it clear and a condition of using this site that you accept by using the site  that you acknowledge and accept that we do not in any way vet or guarantee advertisers on this site and that you are solely responsible for taking precautions to protect your interests when making a rental. We are simply a media on which people can advertise properties, we are not a rental agency and we can not in any way verify the details of the owner or the advertised property. Obviously if we become aware of a problem we will act immediately and endeavour to protect all of our customers however we wish to stress that we are simply an introductory site and that, as with anything in life, you should take as many precautions as humanly possible to protect yourself.

We advise all owners to take similar steps to those that we have advised renters to take above. While the Internet is a fantastic media to advertise your holiday home and to enable literally hundreds of thousands of people to see your property that unfortunately means that lowlife and criminals also have a means of contacting you. Some people simply won't work for a living, instead they prefer to try and deceive you out of your hard earned money. We try our best to spot fraudsters using our site but in view of the volume of enquires we now receive we can offer no guarantee's as to the genuine nature of the person contacting you through our site.

Holiday home owners are advised to ensure that you are aware of Internet fraud methods by constantly researching freely available sources such as the Internet. Be aware of current scams such as Advanced fee fraud (see the article in our owners section) so that you can recognise problems before it's too late. Make sure that before you release any bank details whatsoever you have verified the customers personal details (see above advise for renters.) Obviously if we become aware of a problem we will act immediately and endeavour to protect all of our owners however we wish to stress that we are simply an introductory site and that, as with anything in life, you should take as many precautions as humanly possible to protect yourself.

We will endeavour to ensure that any technical difficulties with this web site are corrected at the earliest opportunity but cannot be held responsible for situations beyond their control or any ongoing repercussions.
