13. We take the security of our chalets, and of the belongings in them very seriously. However, owing to the nature of chalet holidays, the building may not be locked at all times. Other guests and employees will have access to the main entrance and chalet in general. You must take reasonable precautions for your own safety and belongings and we cannot accept responsibility for the loss of personal possessions.

14. The terms of your booking and any claim relating to it, the provision of services to you by SkiBrev and/or its staff and any other matter arising out of this contract or your holiday will be governed by English Law, and shall fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Any liability of SkiBrev will be limited to the value of any payments already received by SkiBrev from the claimant at the date of claim.

15. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your booking, due to matters within our control, you will be offered a full refund.

16. If we have to cancel, alter or curtail your booking due to matters beyond our control, such as force majeure – including but not limited to war, pandemic, civil strife and inclement weather – we will not be able to offer a refund or accept liability for any loss, damage, injury or claim arising from this.

17. We cannot be held responsible for any delays you incur whilst travelling to resort, even if this shortens your stay with us.

22. Dietary requirements – Please let us know when booking if any members of your party have special dietary requirements. Subject to the local availability of ingredients our chefs will endeavour to cater for any dietary requirements where possible

• Vegetarian meals can always be served, though we do need 14 days notice in writing.
• Other special diets (e.g. vegan, gluten-free, low fat/cholesterol) can often be provided, but should be discussed prior booking. All such dietary requests and/or food allergies must be confirmed to us in writing by email at least 14 days prior to departure. Please note that often breakfasts and dinners can be adapted but not afternoon teas (there will always be cakes containing gluten/diary and eggs)
• We endeavour to avoid any allergic reaction incidents, and shall exercise reasonable care to avoid specified food and drink ingredients if special diets are agreed at the time of booking and confirmed in writing as above.
• However, in choosing to travel with us, you accept the following facts: that no food allergy system can ever provide a 100% guarantee against any contact with a specified foodstuff; that items such as eggs, dairy products and nuts are constantly present in chalet kitchens and dining areas, so cross- contamination cannot be eliminated; that our staff cannot police what snacks third parties, including other guests’ children, may bring into contact with the allergic person; We therefore cannot and do not guarantee the avoidance of specified ingredients, and you accept that in the event of any dissatisfaction with special dietary arrangements, including the occurrence of an allergic reaction, our liability, if any, shall be limited to a refund of the special diet supplement paid.
• Extreme Food Allergies: where a food allergy is so severe that the slightest exposure to the substance in question could cause a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction (for example where a reaction may be triggered other than by actually eating the foodstuff – such as by smell alone), you must advise us in writing of the severe nature of the allergy at the time of booking. We then reserve the right to advise you that, in our considered view, the controls we are able to implement in the ski chalet environment are insufficient to guarantee your or your child’s safety, in which case, should you choose to proceed with the booking, you do so entirely at your own risk, and would be asked to confirm this in writing in order to confirm the booking. If you fail to advise us of a known extreme allergy at the point of booking, you will be in breach of contract, and we will therefore have no liability to you at all in the event of any incident.

23. The cost of your holiday includes:

• 7 nights accommodation
• Breakfast and afternoon tea on 7 days
• 5 days evening meals. Special requirements have to communicated when booking.
• Guests are not allowed to use the kitchen for preparing their own meals.

The same applies to the availability of the Spa, including outdoor hot tub, and sauna.

26. SkiBrev reserves the right to carry out any maintenance and draining/ refilling needed that might render the hot tub and jacuzzi unusable to ensure all health and safety regulations are met.
