5. RISKS and LIABILITIES: We accept no liability for illness, injury, death, damage to property or other loss whether arising from accident, cancellation, delay or other event beyond our control. You should have sufficient insurance cover for medical expenses, personal liability, baggage and personal effects, money, trip cancellation and delayed departure. Travel insurance should be arranged at the time of booking. Note that many holiday insurance policies MAY NOT cover you for cycling or mountain biking, particularly for racing, and for climbing, kayaking or walking so please check with your insurer. Note also that many areas of Ogliastra are remote, with no mobile phone coverage or people living there…come prepared! Note also that when we accompany our guests on walks or climbing or on rides, we do this without charge and as co-participants, because we enjoy these activities and we enjoy the company. You remain responsible for yourselves, and for managing the risks of what can be dangerous sports. We’re not guides, we have no professional liability insurance if you or we have an accident, we are not responsible for you, and we don’t teach people how to do these sports. If you want a climbing guide, we suggest UIAA Alpine guides. Under Italian law only UIAA Alpine guides or Club Alpino Italiano instructors during CAI courses can teach people to climb outdoors on natural rock. The Regione Sardegna created in July 2012 the role of “Guida montana – Maestro di Arrampicata” but we are not aware of any such-qualified guides or UIAA Alpine Guides based on Sardinia.
6. RACING LICENCE AND INSURANCE: Most road cycling /MTB events require the participants to hold a racing license from British Cycling or an equivalent body, recognised by the UCI. Even the participants of the Corto races will require a medical certificate signed by your doctor. Your booking is accepted on the condition that you realize and accept the risks associated with a cycling /mountain biking holiday and a cycle / MTB race event if relevant, and for walking, kayaking and climbing if you do these activities. You are responsible for insuring that you have adequate insurance cover.
7. RACE EVENTS: You are responsible for reading and agreeing to the race conditions for any event you have signed up to. We will provide an English translation if necessary.
8. PARTICIPANTS BEHAVIOUR: We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any participant if the behaviour of that person is disrupting the enjoyment of the other members of the group. We are under no liability for any extra cost incurred as a result.
