 (b) this has been reported to SKAPIT in writing within 48 hours of the relevant End Date; 
15.3 The Home Owner shall take out and maintain throughout the period of this Agreement comprehensive liability insurance to cover all risks relating to the Accommodation and all risks arising out of the performance of this Agreement including (by way of example and not by way of limitation):

 (b) all third party risks including cover for death, personal injury and illness (including legal costs) of Customers and employees, agents and representatives arising, directly or indirectly, from any act(s) and/or default(s) of the Home Owner and/or any person(s) provided or used (directly or indirectly) by the Home Owner (including employees, agents, suppliers and sub-contractors of the Home Owner) and/or any use of the Accommodation, in a sum which would be appropriate if any and all proceedings in relation to any third party claim were brought within the United Kingdom; and 
 (c) the full amount of all sums which may become payable under clause 8. 
15.4 The Home Owner may on demand provide a copy of all insurance policies and schedules to the same to the Agent or the Agents’ representatives together with a copy of the receipt for the payment of the current premium.

The Supplier/Principal shall forward any renewal documents to the Agent upon request. 

16. OWNER FEES AND COMMISSION 
16.1 SKAPIT shall release the Owner fee to the Home Owner the Owner Fee (in GBP) 24 hours (or first working day) after the guest arrives at the property. This rate equates to the price paid by the Guest for the Accommodation as shown on their Confirmation Invoice. From this amount will be deducted the SKAPIT Agent Commission in the amount of 15%. For the avoidance of any doubt, no fees shall be payable: 
 (a) for any period in which the Property is not Booked; and 
 (b) if a Booking is cancelled with more than 29 days’ notice. Please note that there may be a delay with the Owner Fee reaching the Home Owner's account and this can, in some cases, take up to 5/7 days to appear, particularly in the case of international bank transfers. 
16.2 Option 1: In the event a Booking is cancelled by the Guest up to 24 hours before arrival at the Accommodation, no fee and no commission is payable to SKAPIT. If the holiday is cancelled within 24 hours of arrival at the accommodation, 85% of the Holiday Let Fee is payable to the Property Owner, subject to the Accommodation Cost being received in full from the Guest. 
16.3 Option 2: In the event a Booking is cancelled by the Guest within 28 days of arrival at the accommodation, SKAPIT shall pay to the Home Owner within 48 hours of confirmed cancellation 80% of the Owner Fee, subject to the Accommodation Cost being received in full from the Guest. In any case of cancellation, SKAPIT will endeavour to secure a replacement Holiday Let on behalf of the Home Owner. Normal Terms apply to this replacement Booking and Cancellation Terms (16.2) and Commission Payment Terms (Clause 16.1) will apply. 
16.4 In all such cases of cancellation, where a Client payment has been made via Credit Card and as a result, refund fees are payable by SKAPIT, these are chargeable to the Home Owner in the amount of 2.5% of the transaction cost. 
16.5 SKAPIT may deduct from the Owner Fees (and any other sums due to the Home Owner) any sums that you owe to SKAPIT at any time. If such fees exceed the Owner Fees due to the Home Owner, SKAPIT shall submit an invoice which gives details of the services provided and the amount payable for such services. The Home Owner shall pay each invoice submitted by SKAPIT within fourteen (14) days of receipt. 
16.6 In the event of any dispute in respect of any payment the Agent shall be entitled to withhold the sum in question until the dispute is settled. 

17. INTEREST 
If you fail to make any payment due to SKAPIT under this agreement by the due date for payment, then, without limiting SKAPIT's remedies, you shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above Natwest plc’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. 

18. FORCE MAJEURE 
18.1 Neither party shall be liable to the other for any contractual default which they could not foresee or avoid.

Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure. 
18.2 If either party is affected by Force Majeure it shall immediately notify the other party in writing of the matters constituting force majeure and shall keep that party fully informed of their continuance and of any relevant change of circumstances whilst such force majeure continues. The party affected by force majeure shall take all reasonable steps available to minimise the effects of the force majeure on the performance of its obligations under this contract.
