- In the event of force majeure such as weather conditions, our company reserves the right to make final interpretations of the activity and has the right to temporarily change the itinerary. No refunds will be given to those who leave the group or abandon the trip.
- Because cycling activities are quite challenging, they are not suitable for people with chronic or acute illnesses (such as cardiovascular diseases, etc.). Please consider your own physical condition.
- Legally, travel liability insurance only covers "sudden external accidents." Accidents or medical expenses caused by pre-existing or known health conditions (including but not limited to chronic diseases, relapses of acute diseases, pregnancy, etc.) are not covered. If you feel the coverage is insufficient, it is recommended that participants purchase other appropriate insurance before the activity, such as travel accident insurance or overseas emergency medical insurance, and confirm that the coverage meets their individual needs.
- Health Disclosure and Pre-departure Preparation: Travelers must truthfully provide complete health information as required by the travel agency and its staff, and present valid medical certificates when necessary. These are all part of the traveler's legal and contractual obligations. Sufficient physical fitness and health are required to safely complete the entire activity; it is recommended that travelers begin appropriate physical training and adjustments 1 to 3 months before departure to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the activity. If a traveler fails to truthfully disclose health information as required, or fails to make sufficient preparations, resulting in a health or safety incident during the activity, the traveler shall bear all related responsibilities.
- Obligation to Disclose Health Condition: To ensure travel safety and protect the rights of all group members, participants must truthfully disclose their health condition before registration. If any of the following conditions exist, regardless of whether they are currently undergoing treatment or have been cured, they should proactively disclose this information: pregnancy; history of or current cardiovascular disease, brain disease, cancer, musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, respiratory diseases, other chronic diseases, infectious diseases; history of alcohol or drug addiction; physical disability or other serious illness.
Participants should carefully assess their own health condition to determine if they are fit to participate in this activity. If necessary, they should consult a doctor for evaluation and recommend that family or friends accompany them. Given that cycling tours are long-distance and physically demanding activities, if participants conceal or fail to truthfully disclose their health information, or if any accidents occur during the activity due to personal health factors, the participants will bear all related responsibilities and losses, and the company will not be held liable. - I agree to the following guarantee regarding my physical condition and safety: I confirm that I am currently in good health and have no special physical conditions, pregnancy, cardiovascular disease, or other illnesses or symptoms that may affect my safe participation in the activity; if I have any relevant medical history, I have informed the travel agency in advance and have been assessed by myself or my doctor to confirm that I am safe to participate.
I have carefully considered my health and physical condition before registering, and have thoroughly understood the activity content and precautions before the event. I promise to abide by all safety regulations and staff instructions.
If any danger or damage occurs during the activity due to personal behavior, judgment, or health factors, the individual shall bear the relevant responsibility, and the travel agency's legal liability shall not be affected.
In the event of an accident, I will apply for a claim in accordance with the insurance company's regulations; for any part not covered by the insurance or for which the insurance amount is insufficient (such as medical expenses caused by the recurrence or deterioration of an illness, or situations that occur outside the insurance period), I agree to bear all personal and property losses myself. - Insurance Notice Regarding Independent Travel to Meeting Points on Overseas Tours: If participants choose to purchase their own airfare and travel independently from their departure point to the designated meeting point to join the group, the round-trip transportation and safety during this journey are not covered by the travel agency's itinerary or insurance. To ensure personal safety and rights, participants should purchase comprehensive personal travel accident insurance and other necessary insurance at their departure point, and ensure that the insurance coverage is sufficient to cover their independently arranged transportation and activities. Any losses incurred due to lack of insurance or insufficient coverage will be borne by the participant.

• Travel liability insurance (5 million RMB accident insurance and 200,000 RMB medical insurance; for those under 15 years old or over 70 years old: 2.5 million RMB accident insurance and 200,000 RMB medical insurance), 15 million RMB performance guarantee insurance.
• When applying for compensation, you must provide the original or a copy of the diagnosis certificate and receipt (copies are not allowed).
• The coverage of legal travel liability insurance is limited to accidents. Accidents caused by one's own health condition are not covered. If you feel that this coverage is still insufficient, please purchase other insurance, such as travel accident insurance or overseas emergency medical and health insurance.
