5. In the event of force majeure such as weather conditions, the 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.
6. Due to the high difficulty of cycling, this activity is not suitable for people with chronic or acute illnesses (such as cardiovascular diseases, etc.). Please consider your physical condition.
7. Legally mandated travel liability insurance only covers "sudden external accidents." Accidents or medical expenses arising from pre-existing or known health conditions (including but not limited to chronic diseases, relapses of acute illnesses, pregnancy, etc.) are not covered. If you feel the coverage is insufficient, participants are advised to purchase other appropriate insurance before the activity, such as travel accident insurance or overseas emergency medical insurance, and confirm that the coverage meets your individual needs.
8. Health Disclosure and Pre-trip Preparations
Travelers are required to provide complete and truthful health information as requested by the travel agency and its staff, and to present valid medical certificates when necessary. These obligations are 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 conditioning 1 to 3 months prior to departure to ensure the safety and smooth running of the activity. If a traveler fails to provide truthful health information or fails to make sufficient preparations, resulting in a health or safety incident during the activity, the traveler shall bear all related responsibilities.
9. Obligation to disclose physical condition
To ensure tour safety and protect the rights of all group members, participants should truthfully disclose their health condition before registration. If any of the following conditions exist, regardless of whether they are currently undergoing treatment or have recovered, participants should proactively disclose this information:
Pregnancy; history of or current cardiovascular disease, brain disease, cancer, musculoskeletal and connective tissue disease, respiratory disease, other chronic disease, infectious disease; 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 suitable for this activity. If necessary, they should consult a physician and recommend that family or friends accompany them. Given that cycling tours involve long distances and high intensity riding, if participants conceal or fail to truthfully disclose health information, or if any accidents occur during the activity due to personal health factors, the participant will bear all related responsibilities and losses, and the company will not be held liable.
10. I agree to guarantee my physical and safety condition:
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 can participate safely.
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.
11. Insurance Reminder for Traveling to Meeting Points Independently During Overseas Trips
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 the journey are not covered by the travel agency's itinerary and 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 self-arranged transportation and activities. Any losses incurred due to lack of insurance or insufficient coverage will be borne by the participant.
12. When filing a claim, you must provide the original or a copy of the medical certificate and receipt (copies are not acceptable).
13. The coverage of legal travel liability insurance is limited to accidents. Accidents caused by one's own health condition are not covered. If you believe that this coverage is still insufficient, please purchase other insurance, such as travel accident insurance or overseas emergency medical and health insurance.
