CANCELLATION POLICY

Despite our great weather conditions, the mountains can have sudden weather changes and because of that, Downhill Bikes reserves the right to alter the route or itinerary of any of its tours and arrange alternative
routes to those advertised if necessary. If a decision needs to be made, in terms of changing the itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances, like forest fires, floods, breakdowns, heavy rain, thunder storms or anything
else that cannot be foreseen at this time, it will be at the discretion of the tour guide in charge.
If an excursion needs to be cancelled during the tour, due to sudden weather changes that can put our customers at risk, we will discuss rescheduling options with you. Where it is not possible for you to reschedule the
tour, we will offer a full refund.
If the tour needs to be cancelled by Downhill Bikes right before it starts, for any possible reason, and it is not possible for you to reschedule, a full refund will be given to customer.
CANCELLATION MADE BY CUSTOMERS
Customers cannot cancel a tour based on their own assumption that the weather represents a risk, or simply because they wish to do a tour on a sunny day, and still expect a refund.
If customers cancel the trip right before it starts or less 48 hours prior to the tour date, no refund will be available. In the event of illness or any other type of problem or emergency that may prevent the customer from
participating in the tour, the same rules will be applied.
Where the customer provides more than 48 hours for a cancellation, a full refund will be provided
