The entire Booking Amount shall be paid by the Guests seven (7) days prior to the Check- In by the Guests.

For securing Booking, Guests have to deposit a non refundable amount specified as “Advance” , by specified date, as a security towards protecting Equity Address and/or against loss of revenue and lost efforts in case Guests cancels Booking.

Further, in case such Advance amount is not received by the specified date, Booking Offer and/or Booking on Hold shall stand cancelled and whatever amount received as Advance shall be refunded subject to cancellation policy of Equity Address.

This Security Deposit amount shall be used to cover up any loss or damages caused to Property including but not limited to damages caused by pets, due to any cleaning required on demand of Guests, resetting of furniture, extra service calls beyond duty timings etc. by Guests.

The Guests shall be responsible to check and report any damage to Property or its equipment, appliances, cutlery, crockery, utensils, furniture, fittings, furnishing, finishing, structure, etc. within 90 minutes of Check-In. If the Client fails to report any of the damages after such specified time period, such damage shall be deemed to have occurred during stay of the Guests and Guests shall be held responsible for such damages and resulting charges thereof. Guests shall be responsible to reimburse to Equity Address for any such damage / breakage caused by Guests to the Property or any of things attached to it such as equipments, appliances, cutlery, crockery, utensils, furniture, fittings, furnishing, finishing, structure, etc. during their stay without demure.

Guests shall use the Property, including its equipment, appliances, cutlery, crockery, utensils, furniture, fittings etc. therein with utmost care and without causing any intentional, unintentional or accidental damage to them. At the time of Check-Out, Client shall leave the Property in good order and reasonably clean condition except normal usage.

The Guests shall agree and understand that in case any damage or breakage is caused to a single item forming a set unless an identical replacement can be found. e.g. If a glass in a set of 6 glasses is broken / chipped, Client will be responsible to replace all 6 pieces of the set, if upholstery of a sofa damaged, Client will be responsible for replacement of upholstery of all the sofas. Further, Equity Address shall get such repairs/replacement of damages done on behalf of the Guests.

Without prior consent of Equity Address Guests shall not move or relocate any equipment, appliances, furniture, fittings, furnishing, finishing and artefacts etc. from their original location except for chairs, other furniture like cane / plastic furniture etc. Any act of such nature may result in forfeiture of total Security Deposit without recourse.

The Guests understand and agree that Equity Address cannot immediately inspect Property at the Check-Out time of the Guests as there may be multiple rooms and facilities to be inspected and the same cannot be inspected for damages in such a short time. The inspection for damages shall be done by Equity Address in the intervening time between Client's Check-Out and next Check-In. Thus, refunding of Security Deposit after adjusting any recoverable, if any, cannot be done immediately on Check-Out and refunds against Security Deposit cannot be made at the time of Check-Out. Equity Address shall make an effort to refund the balance Security Advance as soon as possible, subject to a maximum of 30 days from the date of Check-Out. After the inspection, the assessed cost of repairs / replacement shall be communicated to Guests for their information. The assessment cost of repairs / replacement arrived at by Equity Address shall be final and binding on Guests and Guests shall have no say in the matter and Equity Address shall have no obligation to take any prior approval from Guests for its assessment of repair/ replacement to be done.

If the amount of repair/ replacement of equipment, appliances, furniture, fittings, furnishing, finishing and artefacts etc exceeds the amount of Security Amount, the excess amount shall be notified to Guests, and Guests shall be liable to pay the same, without demure, within 7 days of such demand being raised by Equity Address. Any refund due against Security Deposit shall be made through a check or bank transfer in favour of Guests as per the account details provided by the Guests.

The Guests shall understand and agree that they shall leave and Check Out from the Property in a reasonably clean state and make sure that appliances & equipment e.g. air conditioning, heater, lights, fans etc. are turned off and furniture returned to their original locations. Failure to comply with the above shall result in extra cleaning charges plus applicable taxes.
