Insurance

 

French healthcare does not come cheap and at Col Du Peuch we cannot accept a booking unless you have adequate insurance to cover cancellations, accidents and repatriation etc.

 

There are many companies offering sports insurance for activity holidays abroad, cycling specific policies. Once you have made a booking please forward your insurance cover 10 weeks prior to your departure date.

 

Please note that we will not be liable for any injury, illness, or death or consequent losses suffered by you or any member of your party, unless you are able to prove that such injury or illness was caused by lack of reasonable care and skill on the part of ourselves or our suppliers in the performance of our obligations under our contract with you. It is a condition of the payment of compensation that you notify us of any complaint or claim strictly in accordance with clause 10 and, further, assign to us any rights that you may have against any third party in connection with your claim. You must co-operate with us and our insurers in this regard. If you suffer a personal injury, death or serious difficulties as the result of an activity which does not form part of the package you booked with us - including for example any additional services or facilities provided to you by a hotel or any other supplier which was not included as part of the original contract between us – we will not be liable to pay you any compensation but will offer you such advice and guidance as is reasonable in all the circumstances provided we are advised of the incident promptly. We will not be responsible where you do not enjoy the holiday or suffer any other problems because of a reason which you did not make us aware of when the holiday was booked. Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of twice the cost of your travel arrangements.

 

In all claims of whatever nature we will not be liable where the alleged loss or damage results from any of the following:

i. the fault of the person affected or any members of their party or

ii. the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday which we could not have predicted or avoided or

iii. an event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the service in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care

 

The promises we give to you regarding the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of the contract, and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred, shall be used as the basis for ascertaining whether or not the services in question have been properly provided. If the services in question which caused the claim or complaint complied with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at that time, the services shall be treated as having been properly provided. Such shall be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have applied if those services had been provided in the UK.
