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) transaction. 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 transferred 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 responsibility 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 necessary. 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, The July 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. Before 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 The July have been damaged or taken from the accommodation/hotel, by any guest in the party.

7. Clients´ personal details

The client has to provide the company with correct personal details. The client is to provide this information in all honesty. In any case that wrong information is apparently deliberately provided, the company reserves the right to cancel the reservation and hold the client responsible for any costs that may arise because of this wrong information. Purposefully providing wrong personal details is classified as identity fraud and the authorities will be notified in any case of identity fraud.

The company will always treat your personal details with confidentiality. Your personal information will not be shared with third parties unless the client has given his/her consent. 

8. Occupants
