Tour Terms & Conditions

1. Participation and Associated Risks
   I accept and understand that participating in any Grand European Tour brings multiple potentially significant risks. As such any Tour is considered potentially dangerous in nature, and I assume these risks by taking part. Some of the potential dangers include, but not limited to:

• Collisions with other motor vehicles

• Collisions with pedestrians

• Collisions with stationary or moving objects

• Accidents attributed to negligence by other parties or oneself.

 

It is understood and accepted that my participation in any Tour may result in physical injury, whether minor or serious and/or result in the death myself and/or others. Furthermore, I understand and accept that during any Tour undertaken with Grand European Tours, it will require driving on public roads and I am subject to the hazards associated to this in both fair and inclement weather. I also accept that driving for long periods of time is physically and mentally exhausting which can exacerbate the risk of personal harm.

 

2. Personal Risk Acceptance
I fully accept and subsume all aforementioned risks, entering any Grand European Tour voluntarily with full awareness and knowledge, and assume these risks for loss and/or damage, injury or death.

 

3. Terms and Conditions
I understand and accept that Grand European Tours will use all reasonable efforts to ensure participants adherence to the terms and conditions of their Tours, although this is not guaranteed. I will comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Tours I decide to participate in.

 

4. Release of Liability
I, upon agreeing to the terms and conditions set out by Grand European Tours, hereby waive, release, and forever discharge, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, any and all rights and/or claims which I have, may have, or may hereafter accrue to me against Grand European Tours (as the Tour Operators/Organisers), its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and sponsors for any and all damages, injuries (including death), and/or claims which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly arising from my participation in the Tour, inclusive of the application of medical and/or emergency services, irrespective of whether those damages, injuries (including death), and/or claims are caused by the negligence of those persons listed above or otherwise. I understand and accept that nothing in these terms and conditions shall be construed as excluding or limiting Grand European Tours liability for personal injury or death arising from its negligence or the negligence of persons under its control. Moreover, I covenant not to sue or seek legal compensation from the Tour organisers its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and sponsors for any and all damages, injuries (including death), and/or claims which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly arising out of my own participation in the Tour. This release and discharge includes, but is not limited to, claims for personal injury, death, property damage, economic loss, breach of contract, lost wages, contribution indemnity, indemnity, punitive damages, negligence, or any other legally recognisable claim arising from my participation in the Tour inclusive of all associated legal costs from any such claims.

I hereby agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grand European Tours, its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, sponsors, licensees and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, liabilities, suits and/or actions arising directly or indirectly from my actions or otherwise from my participation in the Tour, whether made or claimed during or after the Tour, inclusive of all associated costs and expenses and any amounts which the organisers may pay as a settlement or compromise of any such claim(s) or liabilities.

6. Image Rights
I hereby waive any and all rights of publicity or privacy and grant Grand European Tours complete unwavering permission to utilise and exploit my name, likeness, image, biographical material and voice in any and all manner, and form worldwide and in perpetuity. I hereby release the Grand European Tours, its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, sponsors, licensees and assigns from and against any and all claims I have or may have for invasion of privacy, defamation and/or any other cause of action arising from the production, broadcasting, exhibition and/or distribution of footage, photographs or any promotional material whatsoever.

I confirm that I have read and understand this waiver, and that it constitutes a substantial bypass of rights by accepting the terms and conditions of any Tour organised and delivered by Grand European Tours. I accept that I have done so voluntarily and freely, with no inducement, compensation, coercion or duress. I understand that by booking any tour, these terms and conditions are enacted by law. I intend this waiver to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I agree that, if any portion of this waiver is held to be invalid, that the balance of the waiver shall continue in full force and effect.

By completing the “I have read and accept the Terms and Conditions” box upon initial booking, I am hereby accepting the Terms and Conditions and this Release & Waiver, concluding a legally binding agreement with Grand European Tours to participate in all associated Tours under the quoted terms and conditions herein.
