Liability/Privacy Policy

MTBSkills Liability Statement.

Limit of our liability - Our liability to you in any circumstance is limited to the amount you have paid to us for your tuition/tour. We take no responsibility for protecting clients' baggage and personal effects while under our tuition/guidance. You should be adequately insured against loss, theft, or damage. We shall not be held liable for any damages caused by the total, or partial failure to carry out the contract if such failure is: a) attributable to the passenger; or b) unforeseeable or unavoidable and attributable to a third party unconnected with or MTBSkills, or c) as a result of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control such as strikes, war, civil or political unrest or government action or d) a result of an event that we with all due care could not foresee or forestall or e) due to the theft of bicycles or injury as a result of cycling on-road or off-road and in particular injuries as a result of either inadequately maintained and serviced personal equipment or failure to wear the correct safety equipment, most notably a safety helmet. 

Your responsibilities - All activity sport involves an element of risk. It is your responsibility to ride with due care at all times. If in doubt you should WALK where you are not confident to ride. A condition of participating in our guided rides and skills lessons is that you agree to wear an approved safety helmet at all times while riding. If you bring your own bike, you are responsible for keeping it in good working order. If you hire a bike from a local provider you must notify the tutor or group leader immediately if you discover a defect. We take no responsibility, except to the extent that is caused by the negligence of us or our employees, for any death or injury caused to or by you, or for damage to or loss of property. You should keep valuables safely with you at all times. Signing our 'disclaimer' form prior to the ride signifies that you agree to abide by the authority of the tour/leader, who represents the company. We reserve the right to terminate the participation of anyone who, in our opinion, is acting in a way that is likely to cause upset, danger, or injury to themselves, employees, customers, or others, or cause damage to property. In these circumstances, we will make no refunds and you will be liable for any costs incurred.
