By means of the credit card details in the reservation, the company has the right to charge an amount, or the full amount as a guaran- tee for the booking, depending on the rate.

Once the booking is made the credit card is checked for any dis- crepancies. The card is charged for the full amount of the reser- vation 2 days prior to the arrival of the client. Upon making the reservation the client will receive a booking confirmation via e-mail, and from that moment the cancellation policies in section 4.1 will apply. If the payment cannot be completed, the client is notified that new details must be provided. May we not receive new details within 24 hours after notifying, we are obliged to cancel the reservation in our system.
3.2 Non-refundable rate
The full amount of the reservation will be charged to the credit card on file once the booking has been made. Once the payment is com- pleted, the client will receive a booking confirmation via e-mail, and from that moment the cancellation policies in section 4.2 will apply.

The company accepts VISA, MasterCard and iDeal for remote payments. Payments at the reception desk can be done via VISA, Master- Card and American Express credit cards, and via MAESTRO.

The credit card that is used for the booking needs to be owned by the head booker. The company does not accept payments that have been made by means of a credit card that does not belong to the head booker. A credit card is personal and may not be used by third parties. At arrival the company reserves the right to compare the credit card that has been used for the booking with the actual credit card. In case the credit card is not present as it is from some- body else or the amount equivalent is higher than €1.000, payment can only be arranged via our reservations department.

Lastly, the prices are including 9% VAT, including 10% tourist tax. Important! For the amount of the tourist tax, the time of stay applies and not the time of booking. If the municipality changes the rates in the meantime, this may therefore change.

If any fees are not received in accordance with the paragraph above, the booking may be cancelled by the company and any payments already made, will be forfeited.
All accommodation charges and any “extras” charges must be settled by the guest, prior to checking out and leaving the premises.

4. Cancellations
Cancellation of a reservation will be effective only from the date of receipt in writing. Reservations made through affiliated websites (such as Booking.com, Expedia.com) can only be cancelled if the cancellation is made through the respective affiliated website.

All other cancellations must be made in writing by e-mail to reservations@damrakshortstay.com. Any cancellation may be liable to pay cancellation charges. Depending on the reasons for your cancellation, for instance personal or family circumstances, you may be able to reclaim these cancel- lation charges from your insurance company. We strongly recom- mend that all clients obtain appropriate travel and personal insurance cover.
In exceptional circumstances we may find it necessary to cancel your booking or offer a similar suitable apartment. If this is not acceptable we will refund any sum you have paid to us which shall constitute fully 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:
1. The client is unable to prove that he/she is the owner of the credit card used for payment.
2. The apartment(s) or part of it is closed due to circumstances be- yond its control.
3. The company becomes insolvent or enters into liquidation or receivership.

It 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 lim- ited to events such as war, civil strike, terrorist activity, labor dis- putes, natural or man-made disaster, fire, flood, and adverse weath- er conditions.

5. 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 expenses that may be incurred due to that circumstance. We will always endeavor to sell any apartments you no longer require but cannot guarantee this.

6. Security Deposits
Upon arrival we reserve the rights to charge a security deposit by means of an authorization on the credit card.
6.1 Authorization
An authorization is a request for approval of a (possible) transac- tion. There are always a number of cases that need to be verified for the use of your card. For example, the spending limit, validity of the card or any blockages. The amount is reserved for the company to which you owe a deposit. The amount of the deposit (€ 200) will be temporarily withheld from your spending limit (your balance remains the same, but the availability is less). It will not be trans- ferred to the company where the deposit is issued. The company that issued the authorization has for a certain period of time the entitlement to use (or a part of) the deposit of €200.
The deposit will automatically be cancelled from our side. However, it cannot be indicated when your spending limit will be as it were. From the moment of cancellation by the company, the responsi- bility lies at the bank of the cardholder. They determine, based on the terms and conditions between you and the bank, when they release the €200.
6.2 Credit card details
The Credit Card details will be used as a security deposit when nec- essary. If damage or disturbances to the company or other clients have occurred, the costs 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 the costs exceed the value of the deposit, Damrak Short Stay Am- sterdam reserves the right to charge the excess to the guest’s (or guests’) credit card(s).
6.3 Inspection
The deposit will be released automatically after checking out. Be- fore it is released we inspect the apartment on the following:
(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.
(4) no belongings of Damrak Short Stay Amsterdam have been damaged or taken from the accommodation/hotel, by any guest in the party.
