General conditions
Here is the final English version of your General Terms and Conditions, updated with the clauses for long stays, flexible check-in/out times, and the prevalence of specific property rules.
GENERAL BOOKING CONDITIONS
These General Booking Conditions govern the relationship between Searly Srl, with registered office in Porto Cervo, Loc. Farina SNC, 07021 Arzachena (SS), Italy, email: info@searly.com (“Searly”), and the customers (“Client/s”) who book stays through the website www.searly.com.
1. Object of the Contract
Searly acts as an intermediary between property owners and Clients. The rental agreement is finalized directly between the Client and the property owner.
2. Duration of Stay and Contract Type

Short-Term Rentals: These General Conditions apply primarily to bookings for tourism purposes with a duration of less than 30 days, in accordance with current Italian legislation (Art. 4, D.L. 50/2017).
-
Long-Term / Transitional Rentals: Searly is open to inquiries/bookings for periods exceeding 30 days. In such cases, these conditions govern the initial inquiry phase, but the parties commit to entering into a separate agreement and contract for transitional rental (or other legal types), which will be regulated according to current laws.
3. Prevalence of Special Conditions
Any special conditions that deviate from or supersede these general terms may be expressly agreed upon between the parties in writing, or be clearly described and indicated on the specific property page on the Website. In the event of a conflict, the specific property conditions or those agreed upon ad hoc shall take precedence over these general clauses.
