Any cancellation may be liable to pay cancellation charges. Depending on the reasons for your cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges from your insurance company, if you have taken out travel insurance. We strongly recommend that all clients obtain appropriate travel and personal insurance cover.

In exceptional circumstances we may find it necessary to cancel your booking and if so, we shall make all reasonable efforts to offer a suitable alternative. If this is not acceptable we will refund any sum you have paid to us which shall constitute full and final settlement of any liability we may have to you as a result of such cancellation.

The Company reserves the right to cancel the booking if:
The apartment(s) or part of it is closed due to circumstances beyond its control.
The Company becomes insolvent or enters into liquidation or receivership.
It prejudices the reputation or causes or might cause in the Company’s opinion, damage to the apartments and its common areas.
In any of these circumstances the Company will refund any payments made in advance, but will have no further liability to the Client.

We will not be liable for any delay, loss, damage or expenses incurred if your booking needs to be altered or cancelled or we are unable to perform our contractual obligations as a result of events beyond our reasonable control, which shall include but not be limited to events such as war, civil strife, terrorist activity, labour disputes, natural or man-made disaster, fire, flood, and adverse weather conditions.

If we receive serious complaints or any disputes arise, we reserve the right to terminate your stay without notice.

Alterations
If you wish to alter your booking (e.g. change the dates of your stay or the accommodation requested), we will use all our reasonable efforts to comply with your request, however we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so and we accept no liability for any loss, damage or additional expense that may be incurred in that circumstance. We will always endeavour to sell any apartments you no longer require but cannot guarantee this. In circumstances where the apartments cannot be sold, our cancellation policy will apply.

Security Deposits
Please note: a €300 security deposit may be required upon check-in. This will be refunded within 14 days of your departure, and after inspection of the apartment(s), on the conditions that
(1) no damage to the apartment(s) has occurred, by any guest in the party
(2) no damage to any property has occurred, by any guest in the party
(3) no undue disturbance to other guests or residents has occurred, by any guest in the party.

If damage or disturbance to other guests has occurred, the cost to the manager/owner of the damage or disturbance that has occurred will be retained from the security deposit, and the remainder returned to the guest(s) in the party. If this cost exceeds the value of the deposit, the manager/owner of the property (or stayAmsterdam.com) reserves the right to charge the excess to the guest's (or guests') credit card(s).

We reserve the right to refuse admittance to the apartment if this condition is not complied with.

stayAmsterdam.com will not accept responsibility for the enforcement, amendment or introduction of such laws, and no compensation (beyond refunding of deposits) will be entertained.
