4. Risks and responsibilities
4.1 The difficulty level of the tours is defined in each programme proposal. If you have any questions, please contact us.
4.2 When a customer books a tour, they are required to inform Stallerbike before the tour of any health issues and/or physical conditions that could be affected by the activity or that could
affect the normal course of the activity.
During the tour, it is mandatory to inform the tour guide of any health issues, e.g. overloading.
The customer(s) are aware of the risks of the booked tour and accept the possible risks associated with an outdoor activity that requires physical exertion and/or takes place in remote locations,
as in our case, cycling. The person responsible for the booking confirms that all participants booked by him/her are physically able to complete the chosen programme.
5. Compulsory insurance and liability
5.1 All activities of Stallerbike Unipessoal Lda. are covered by liability and accident insurance with the legally required coverage.
6. Responsibilities
6.1 Stallerbike is not liable for any damage or accidents that occur during the programmes. We recommend that participants take out private liability and accident insurance.
6.2 All programmes are conducted by qualified staff.
Procedure in the event of an accident: In this case, if necessary, the emergency services will be notified. The costs of transport to the hospital are to be covered by the participants. If the
emergency services do not consider an ambulance necessary, you will have to pay for a taxi, which may not be reimbursed by the insurance. The hospital costs are to be covered by you. Stallerbike
will provide a report to the insurance company.
7. Participation in the tour and responsibility of the CLIENT
7.1 The client agrees to accept the authority and decisions of the staff and representatives involved in the activities offered. If these persons believe that the customer is not in good health
or physical condition or is behaving in a manner that could endanger their own or others' integrity, the customer may be excluded from participating in the tour without entitlement to a refund.
After exclusion from a tour, Stallerbike is not liable to the customer in any way.
7.2 If the customer commits an illegal act (including causing damage to third parties), the customer may be excluded from the tour. In this case, there is no right to a refund for unused
services. When the customer books a tour, they agree to be responsible for any damage or loss caused by themselves or by any person included in their booking/group. In this
case, the full amount for the damage or loss caused (estimated or approximate price if it is not possible to state the exact amount) must be paid as quickly as possible directly to the
responsible person or the owner. If this does not happen, STALLERBIKE is authorised to add the amount to the hotel bill.
The customer is also responsible for settling all claims that are later asserted against Stallerbike, as well as for all costs that Stallerbike incurs as a result of the customer's actions
(including their own legal and other costs).
7.3 It is the customer's decision and responsibility to take out appropriate travel insurance that will protect them in the event of the above situations occurring.
8. Changes to the programme or itinerary
8.1 Stallerbike reserves the right to make any changes it deems necessary. We will endeavour to ensure that any necessary changes do not alter the character of the tour or its structure, duration
and quality.
9. Photographs, images and processing of personal data
9.1 By confirming the booking, the customer accepts that Stallerbike has the right to take pictures, photos and videos during the tours and activities for advertising and marketing purposes only.
No images will be used in which a person occupies more than 50% of the total area of the photo or video.

in the contract. The collected data may be used until further notice for promotional purposes carried out by Stallerbike (e.g. newsletter).
