On receiving Your completed Booking Form and Deposit (or full payment if applicable) We will confirm your stay by issuing a Booking Confirmation by e-mail. Please check the details and contact Us immediately if there are any errors or omissions to any information which appears on the Booking Confirmation or any other document, as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within 5 working days of its transmission.

5. Cancellation Policy
5.1 Cancellation by You
Should You need to cancel Your Booking, You must advise Us in writing by email (to info@truffleresidences.com). Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is acknowledged by Us by email. Verbal cancellation will not be accepted. Your Deposit is non-refundable in the event of Your Cancellation.
Please Note that these cancellation charges apply if You have failed to make payment on time and We cancel Your Booking as a result. In addition, Your Booking will be treated as cancelled and the same cancellation charges will apply if You decide to change Your accommodation from one property to another.
The scale of cancellation charges payable by You are as follows:
More than 70 days: Deposit only
69 to 45 days: 50% of the total booking value
44 to 30 days: 80% of the total booking value
29 days or less: 100% of the total booking value
