WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY

​

All riders joining our trips are required to read, understand and sign our Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement electronically during the registration process AND send it signed with the booking email. This document can not be amended prior to signing. Upon registering for a tour and signing our waiver it will form, in part, a contract with MTB Guide XP. You can review and print a copy of our WAIVER anytime.

​

LIFETIME DEPOSIT

​

Our Lifetime Deposit policy allows any of our Riders (i.e. clients) forced to delay a departure the ability to apply their initial deposit towards a later scheduled date or another Ride at no extra charge.

As long as you give us 30 days notice, your deposit will be good forever, whether you use it for the same trip or transfer it to another one. A Lifetime Deposit has no expiration date and can be used once for any departure.

A Lifetime Deposit is also transferable, meaning that you can transfer your deposit to another Rider as a gift. 

There are some important conditions to be aware of regarding our Lifetime Deposits:
Lifetime Deposits, or any portion of them, are not refundable.
In case you weren't able to set a new date once you'll confirm the inability of using your deposit, we'll create a voucher so that when you’re ready to book another adventure with us, simply use your Lifetime Deposit to confirm your new Ride.

A trip booking is not confirmed until we have received a payment (deposit or full balance) and your completed registration. A binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as we have issued a booking confirmation by email confirming the details of your booking. 

Participants can chose to pay the full balance owing at anytime by emailing us. Payment can be submitted until the day of the tour prior to the start of the ride.

The decision for any minor to join a trip is at the discretion of MTB guide XP. 

Given the physical and demanding nature of our tours, we ask all riders to thouroghly complete the Booking Form for profile assessment. For riders 65 or older, the results of this form will be reviewed and discussed with rider registering to ensure fitness and skill are suitable for the trip chosen. The decision to join is ultimately the responsibility of the rider and it is assumed that they have read all information made available regarding the fitness and skills required for any trip.

The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met.
