These terms and conditions govern the contract between you and us to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions save for those implied by law, and no variation to these terms and conditions shall be valid unless in writing and signed by you and the company director.

No contract shall arise between you and us until we have received the deposit payable and we have sent to you written confirmation (This can be in the form of an email) of our acceptance of your booking.

The lead name is also responsible for the completion of the online guest list on behalf of all persons on the booking. It is understood that those booking via email or telephone agree to, and accept our terms and conditions.

Deposits are payable at the time of booking and the balance of payments are split into the following phases: An agreed non-refundable non-transferable deposit is payable at the time of booking. The final balance is to be paid no less than 6 Weeks before the date upon which your event is due to start. Failure to pay by this date will result in forfeiture of deposits and monies paid.

Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. 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. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.

Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on the Tour are not part of your contracted arrangements with us. Therefore, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the local operator.

We endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices on our website are accurate; however occasionally changes and errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances.

Our Tours are run by a Tour Leader. The decision of the Tour Leader is final on all matters likely to affect the safety or well-being of any Participant, including the motorcycling competency of any Participant, any change in itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances or the removal of a Participant from the Tour. If you fail to comply with a decision made by the Tour Leader, or interfere with the well-being of the group, the Tour Leader may order you to leave the Tour immediately, with no right of refund. In such a circumstance, where a Participant is removed from the trip, BB Shipping Limited accepts no responsibility for their return home or to the start point, or any other costs incurred therein.

We may cancel the event or any part of it: for safety reasons if we or our supplier(s) regard adverse weather conditions or other safety concerns as unacceptable and which cannot reasonably be overcome; If we reasonably believe that you may cause harm or damage to our reputation or to the reputation of our suppliers or to property belonging to our suppliers; If a supplier or suppliers are unable to host the event for any reason; If changes you wish to make to the booking mean it is uneconomical or impractical to hold the event.

Save as above we shall be under no further liability to you for cancellation of the event or any part of it..

You may cancel your booking after you have paid the deposit however the initial deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel your booking more than 12 weeks in advance of the travel date then the cancellation fee is a minimum of 50% the remaining booking cost, or the total amount paid to us at that time on the booking (not including the deposit). If you cancel your booking within 8 weeks of the travel date then the cancellation fee is 100% of the total cost of the booking.

If, due to reasons beyond our control, an event is unable to take place due to (but without limitation); closure of premises, the ceases of trading, a change in supplier management, weather restrictions, we will provide you and your group with an alternative event and if this is does not prove possible, a refund to you of the cost to us of the event.

The type of breakfast you will receive will be confirmed upon arrival at your accommodation (this may be hot or cold regardless of your quotation). Restaurant meals may require a pre-order to be completed by the lead name of the group. This should be completed and returned to us, or the venue as required. If a pre-order has not been completed, we accept no liability for meals not provided or delays in providing the meals for you. You will not automatically be sent any menus and menus may be of limited choice from a set-menu for groups. We will endeavour to meet any specialist dietary requests for any member of your group, but can not guarantee these requests. We accept no liability if our suppliers are unable to meet these requests in advance, or once at the venue. If your group arrives late then we accept no liability.

If due to circumstances beyond our control it becomes necessary to substitute an alternative supplier, or make any other alterations to the event (including accommodation) we shall inform you of the changes as soon as possible. You must pay any additional cost due to such changes. If the changes are, in the view of BB Shipping Limited, so substantial as to materially alter the event and you are unwilling to accept them then you may cancel the event and we will give a refund of the cost of the event to us. Surcharges may be applicable where an event requires a minimum number of participants to proceed, and the group does not meet this minimum number. This could lead to the cancellation of the event of which we are not held responsible and alternatives may be offered of an equal or greater value. If this value is greater, then you must pay us the difference in price. If the final number of a group is an odd number, then a single supplement surcharge will apply if the booking or an event (including accommodation) which is number dependent.

We shall try to accommodate any reasonable changes you wish to make to the event. Alterations and amendment requests should be made with us and not end suppliers and should be made in writing to us by the lead name. These changes shall not be deemed accepted until we have confirmed in writing to you. If you wish to increase or decrease the number of persons participating in the event you may do this up to six weeks prior to the date upon which your event is due to start. Amendments after that date will incur our administration charge of 25% per person. Changes such as arrival / departure dates and destination changes will also be subject to our administration charges. We cannot guarantee that the change to the price will be pro-rata, but will depend upon the arrangements we are able to make with our suppliers.

Our insurance only covers your bike and kit whilst in transport. Once in country or at the hotel you must have adequate insurance cover for your rider kit ( usually covered by your holiday insurance provider) and also insurance against theft or 3rd party damage.
