Spanish term

contrato de condiciones particulares

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Seems to be a type of contract used by the holiday rental industry in Spain. Any idea what the English translation would be?

1. Llegada: La propiedad estará disponible desde las 16:00 (4:00 p.m) del día de llegada, salvo que se fije otra hora de entrada en el contrato de condiciones particulares de la reserva.


....

En caso de que la vivienda permita mascotas, será necesario abonar un suplemento que quedará especificado en el contrato de condiciones particulares. En caso de que la vivienda no permita mascotas, el incumplimiento de esta condición será causa de resolución del contrato entre ambas partes, sin derecho a indemnización alguna.

special terms and conditions agreement

I think this is quite possibly a separate agreement - one imposed by the establishment in addition to that of the agency/company with whom the holiday has been booked
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Carter : I agree with you, syntactically, there is no way that the Spanish can be read as "specific conditions of contract". There also seem to be various examples online of special terms agreements, i.e. separate tag-on agreements to a more general one.

Yes, if I book a package holiday, I expect the hotel to have separate terms (e.g. its "house rules") that are not set out in the overall T&Cs

("Special conditions of contract" is also used, both "specific conditions" and "special conditions" in contrast to "general conditions."

Thanks, Phil
neutral AllegroTrans : that would back translate to "condiciones de contrato" // you are making the assumption there is one single contract/agreement; the ST strongly suggests that the the property's T&Cs are separate

Hi, Allegro. In English this type of contract is generally entitled "Specific/Special Conditions of Contract".//No actually I assumed that there were "Specific Conditions of Contract" in addition to "General Conditions of Contract".

Spanish term (edited): salvo que se fije... en el contrato de condiciones particulares de la reserva

unless... is set as a special condition of the reservation within the contract

That clause is poorly worded in Spanish; it's not a special kind of contract, it just refers to conditions set in the contract. A better wording would be:

1. Llegada: La propiedad estará disponible desde las 16:00 (4:00 p.m) del día de llegada, salvo que se fije otra hora de entrada en el contrato en su sección de condiciones particulares de la reserva. (or something to that effect)


Therefore, I would recommend to translate as:

1. ......, unless another arrival time is set as a special condition of the reservation within the contract.


As for references, I think those provided by the other respondents are excellent and just go to prove that "special conditions" are a part of a contract and not a type of contract.
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : I understand your reasoning, but there may well be a separate agreement imposed by the establishment and to which the guest will be bound; the source text seems to say this

I understand your argument, which uses the same assumption as the other answers, but the reason I posted this alternative was because I disagree!
