TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE HIRE OF:

The National Trust for Jersey requires that members of the public or the Trust who make use of their properties observe the following rules:-

  1. That at all times the site must be kept clean and tidy and free from litter or rubbish.
  2. No damage must be caused to the land or building and plants thereon. Any damage caused accidentally or willfully by any person whilst the land is in your use will be your sole responsibility to repair. By accepting the use of the land you will be deemed to accept the liability for any repairs arising during that use. No tents or marquees are permitted at Le Don Hilton or Câtel Fort.
  3. All materials brought onto the Trust property must be removed at the end of the use, including all litter and perishables. The site must be left clean and tidy. If the Trust staff are required to clean the site after your use, the Trust will charge you for the cleaning at the rate of £20 per hour.
  4. The Trust accepts no responsibility or liability for any injury or damage caused to persons or property using Trust sites. By making use of the site you are deemed to accept this restriction.
  5. You will indemnify the Trust in respect of all claims or actions arising out of your use of the site. You are strongly urged to ensure that you have the necessary insurance cover to back this indemnity.
  6. Barbecues are permitted at Le Câtel Fort, Victoria Tower and Le Don Hilton only. Barbecues must be contained in a proper specifically designed receptacle which is free-standing and not placed on the ground. You are responsible for undertaking all the necessary fire precautions. Under no circumstances are barbecues or fires permitted to be lit on the ground or outside the immediate confines of the site.
  7. You will be responsible for the collection and return of all keys to buildings on the site within 24 hours of the end of your booking. A loss of keys or a failure to return them promptly will give rise to a liability in respect of the Trust's loss, costs or expenses.
  8. You must not make use of the site so as to cause any nuisance whether by noise, smoke or otherwise to the other users of the site or neighbouring properties. In the event that any such nuisance is caused you will immediately be required to leave the site. Generators cannot be used without the express consent of the Trust and must always be placed outside the buildings.
  9. You must be 25 years of age or over to hire a National Trust for Jersey site.
  10. The Trust will not accept any bookings taken on behalf of another individual(s) - for example a parent applying to hire a Trust Property on behalf of their teenage child or a Trust Member hiring a property for non-members and thereby sharing their discount. Likewise, an individual whose company holds a Corporate Membership may not use their company's membership for a personal discount.
  11. The window shutters at Le Don Hilton and Le Câtel Fort should not be removed at any time.
  12. PARKING: Le Don Hilton: DUE TO EROSION IN PREVIOUS YEARS THERE IS NOW NO PARKING ON SITE. Le Câtel Fort: one vehicle only can be parked just outside the Fort. Victoria Tower: parking for up to 4 cars in the on-site car- park. The boundary stones and gate must not be moved.
  13. No item whatsoever may be sold on site.

  16. CANCELLATIONS: The Trust is unable to offer refunds for cancellations.
If you have any queries in relation to the matters outlined above please advise accordingly. We trust that you will appreciate the need for these restrictions. Their purpose is not only to protect the Trust's property and its users, but also to maintain and enhance the environment, which is one of the Trust's principal objectives. Finally, we require that you give at least 2 weeks notice if you do not wish to proceed with the event and make use of the Trust's property, we regret we cannot offer refunds for cancellations.
