MAX TESTA TRAINING LLC RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
I desire to participate in outdoor bicycle rides with oversight and training supervision by MAX TESTA TRAINING LLC. I sign this document in consideration of being allowed to participate in such rides. In connection with such rides, my participation may include, but will not be limited to the following: bicycle training rides and training instruction, riding in support vehicles and transportation to and from rides, transporting, loading and unloading equipment including bicycles, maintenance of equipment including bicycles, and all other ancillary related (directly or indirectly) or associated activities (“Activities”). I am over the age of 18 years and am competent and able to validly contract for myself.
I understand that there is an element of risk in any physical conditioning program and that when engaging in any strenuous activity, I may suffer minor or serious injury, or even death. Riding bicycles also includes risks of injury or property damage to myself or other persons resulting from, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following: excessive speed; falling; falling on uneven terrain; falling as a result of being airborne; collisions with other cyclists, pedestrians, fixed or moving objects; negligence or inexperience of other cyclists or any other persons; equipment failure or inadequate safety equipment; uneven roads or changing road conditions, weather conditions; injuries or damage caused by terrain, facilities, temperature, weather, condition of athletes, equipment, vehicular traffic, and actions of other people. I acknowledge these inherent risks. I agree to follow the conditioning program and the instructions given to me to prevent injuries. I understand that I am responsible for monitoring my own condition while riding a bicycle and that, should any negative symptoms or pain occur, I will cease my participation and inform the instructor or my doctor. I also understand that I am responsible for my own health and safety while riding a bicycle and that I am also responsible for injury or property damage suffered by any 3rd parties as a result of my participation in the Activities. I have had the opportunity to ask questions, and have received satisfactory answers to all my questions, and state that I am in excellent health and physical condition and that I am not taking any medication or suffering from any condition that would prevent me from safely engaging in strenuous physical exercise or that would make such participation potentially dangerous or harmful for me or others.
I understand that Max Testa Training is not liable for mechanical failures of any type on bicycles owned by me or other parties. Mechanical assistance of any kind offered by Max Testa Training on bicycles owned by me or other parties is not under any warranty and Max Testa Training cannot be held liable for any subsequent mechanical failures.
In addition, I hereby irrevocably consent to the use of my photograph by Max Testa Training and others it may authorize, for editorial or promotional purposes in any and all media now in existence or hereafter developed. I hereby release Max Testa Training from any and all claims arising out of or in connection with said photographs.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS: To maintain the price structure of our trips, we must adhere to our cancellation policy. Please do not ask us to make exceptions.
In the event that we cancel your trip: Max Testa Training reserves the right to cancel any trip. You will be entitled to: (a) book any other available trip; or (b) receive a full refund of all monies paid. Max Testa Training will not be liable for any flight or insurance costs you have incurred (it is for this reason that we recommend you delay booking flights and arranging insurance until your trip is confirmed).
We reserve the right to cancel your spot if we have not received your balance payment within one week of your balance due date.
We reserve the right to cancel the trip if the minimum quantity has not registered up to 60 days before the trip starts. We will not be responsible for any flight costs and therefore will not reimburse any flight costs in case of cancellation or otherwise. Trip insurance is required.
Insurance: You must have adequate travel insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance fully covers all of your personal requirements including cancellation charges, medical expenses and repatriation in the event of an accident or illness. Your insurance must also cover you for cycling activities and the associated risks as well as your baggage and cycling equipment. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses arising in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Please purchase travel insurance that covers an unforeseen trip cancellation or misadventure to you or your luggage while in Italy.
