The reservation fee will not be refunded upon cancellation. If customer has paid the final instalment together with booking fee, the final instalment is refunded when cancellation is made before due date of final instalment. Any payments are not refunded after the due dates. Customers are not entitled to a rent refund if they do not occupy the destination or arrive late for their stay. If a customer interrupts their booking and departs the holiday destination before the end of the lease period, no compensation will be paid for the unused time and the customer is not entitled to a rent refund.

The number of people using the villa must not exceed the number agreed on during booking. Tents and caravans or use of rentable equipment are not permitted at the destination without the permission of the owner or custodian.
Clients are liable for any damages they cause to the destination property. The owner or custodian must be notified immediately of any damages caused. The client is required to pay the owner for any damage caused to the destination or its contents during occupancy. If the customer does not immediately report observed deficiencies to the owner or custodian during the rental period, the destination will be considered to have been in the contractually-required condition. It is impossible to jointly verify deficiencies reported after the end of the rental period, and ownert will therefore not be liable to compensate for them in any way.
The contracting parties will attempt to resolve any disputes out of court. Should they fail to reach agreement, any disputes will be settled by the Oulu District Court. The contract is governed by Finnish law.
