Therefore, you will not have a legal right to cancel the Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

10.1 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. You can only end the Contract if you have a good reason to do so (i.e. only for a reason set out at (a) to (c)), in which case the contract will end immediately and your payment will be refunded to you in full for the service not provided (i.e. your stay at the accommodation) or have not been properly provided. The reasons are:

(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the services or these Terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 8.2);

14. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

14.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 7 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for services not provided.

14.2 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

14.3 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you cause damage to our Accommodation which exceeds the deposit amount and we do not immediately chase you we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

14.5 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the services in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

14.6 Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint or we fail to resolve a dispute between us in relation to a Contract or any Services you have received, you may want to contact The Consumer Ombudsman, a certified ADR provider with whom we are willing to work. Further information about Consumer Ombudsman is available on their website at https://www.ombudsman-services.org/sectors/consumer. We are also required to provide you with a link to the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform.
