Nevertheless the Organization will not be responsible for the possible non-acceptance of the new name by third providers of the services.

CANCELLATION OF THE JOURNEY
The Association Sole&Bike can cancel the holiday if the minimum number of participants is not reached within 20 days before the departure (organized tour), with the only obligation to give back the amount of money paid.

In case that the minimum number of participants is not reached, Sole&Bike could propose an addition of the share in order to face the larger fixed costs or a self-guided tour (if it is possible).

The participants will be free to accept or give up without losing anything of the eventual anticipation given.

The Association Sole&Bike intends, with no obligation or responsibility, to repay eventual sums recovered for not obtained services in consequence of renunciation.

OBLIGATION OF THE PARTICIPANT
He has to observe the rules of normal caution and diligence; during the tour he has: to follow the instruction of the guide scrupulously; to respect the way code, people, animals, nature and things!

The Association Sole&Bike intends to change times and ways for technical or metereologic requirements; it declines every responsibility for that is out of its competence, for physical or material damages suffered or caused by the participant to people/animals/things, before, during and after the course of the trip.
It declines every responsibility for lack or limited sanitary assistance in distant area owing to a cause beyond control or for causes which couldn’t expect or solve, according to the professional care.

ARRANGEMENT OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
If at the time or after the departure, an essential part of the services is not given to the participant, owing to causes beyond control ( for instance: not expected atmospheric or meteorologic events), the Association Sole&Bike will propose, if possible, an alternative solution, in accordance with the participant, without any additional charge of the costs of the holiday; when this is not possible for the protraction of the meteorologic event and/or other, the Organization will give back the participation share moderately: difference between the expected services and the provided ones, it keeps from the difference the share paid for the guarantee of the turistic hotel structures.

Strikes and interruptions for unfavourable atmospheric conditions – war events – civil and military disorders – rebellions – earthquakes – sacks: these facts are considered as events owing to causes beyond control, so they aren’t imputable to the Organization.
For this reason, in such occasions any possible additional charge made by the participant or not given or not recoverable services, will not be repaid.

BIKES
Those who want to hire bikes for the tour, have to regularise the hire on delivery.
Together with the bike we will deliver a helmet, an air tube in reserve and an antitheft padlock.
The rules are regulated by contract apart that will be submitted on delivery of the bike.


LAST TERM FOR THE INSCRIPTION, except different indication, 10 days from the departure and except exhaustion of available places, very probable hypothesis in the most famous destinations and in the period in which everybody is on holiday.

For every legal controversy the Forum of Acireale will be competent.
