3.9  Customer’s Acknowledgement

By ordering one of our tours, travel and/or rentals, You acknowledge that You understand that riding or driving a motorized vehicle (e.g. motorcycle or car) involves risks and that everyone travels, drives or rides at their own risk and that the organizers and their partners cannot be sued or otherwise held liable for any accident, loss or damage during the associated travel or tour. You also expressly accept and submit to JoyRides’ “Participant Statement and Release Form” (section 14) and “Waiver of Risk” (section 15) and “ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK” (section 16). JoyRides cannot accept tour participants or travelers who do not fully comply with our rental vehicle provider’s “Rental Agreement” and/or JoyRides “Participant Statement and Release Form” and “Waiver of Risk” and “ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK”.

 

3.10 Rental of Vehicles and Deposit

It will be specified in Your order confirmation whether rental vehicles are included in Your tour package. JoyRides rental partners will make available the vehicle class you have booked, but the model may vary. JoyRides reserves the right to provide a substitute vehicle for the one that is confirmed in Your order. This may be necessary due to unexpected and/or unpredictable events. In such a case, JoyRides Tours will provide an equivalent or better model than the one that is requested in Your order.

When You pick up your rental vehicle a security deposit must be “reserved” on your credit card before You get the vehicle assigned for Your order.  The amount of the deposit will vary depending on the coverage you choose, but will normally be in the range of $100 to $2.500 (per vehicle).  Deposits will be refunded and/or released in full if you return the vehicle undamaged. Please note: The rental company does not accept any Debit or Pre-paid cards

One-way fees for rental cars: If you are renting a car that will be returned to a different location than You picked up the car, a one-way fee will apply (the sum charged will vary depending on location & distance). Due to the car rental agency’s terms, we will unfortunately not be able to pre-pay this fee (which is included in your rental price from Us). Thus, when renting a car, please make sure you bring a credit card which holds a minimum of $1.000, to cover your payment of the one-way fee, which must be paid when picking up your vehicle. Once you give Us a copy of the receipt, we will immediately refund the amount to your bank account/card.

 

3.11 Changes in Tour Programs and Cancellations

Tours are organized on a seasonal basis and where seasonal variances and/or weather conditions and/or government regulations and/or travel restrictions require changes in the tour dates, routes and accommodations, the itinerary will be adjusted accordingly with alternate hotels, restaurants and roads being selected.

We normally ride with 10-20 bikes in a tour group. With 12 bikes or more, we will ride with two tour leaders: one on a bike & a van driver in a support vehicle. Within 45 days of Your departure date, You run the risk that the travel dates you have booked in Your order will be canceled or moved up to 2-4 weeks forward or backward, depending on the availability of airline tickets, vehicles, or accommodations. Further, in the event there is an insufficient number of participants on Your tour to make it economically feasible, JoyRides reserves the right to cancel, reschedule or merge Your tour with another tour. In such instances, we also might, at our discretion, decide to ride the tour with only one guide in a support vehicle. In the event your tour dates change, if you are unable to participate, Your order will be regarded as canceled, in which event You will be refunded any installment payments and deposits made.

Final dates for all tours will normally be available by the end of March/April of the same year of Your travel. When we obtain final travel dates & time schedules for tours, this information will be forwarded to all participants. Therefore, We strongly recommend You do not book any connecting flights before the flight schedule to the U.S. or other countries is determined. Any bookings or accommodations that You make before the travel schedule for Your tour is finalized are at Your own risk. We are not liable for any delays, re-bookings and/or cancellations of flights.

 

3.12 Tour cancellations

In the case We have to cancel the tour you have booked, You and all tour participants will be notified by Us, and will either be offered the tour as a Self-Drive Tour (vehicle rental & hotel package) or be offered an alternative guided tour and/or tour dates. In case you do not accept this offer, We will refund Your payment in full, which will constitute the full settlement and JoyRides will be absolved of all liability associated with Your booking. We are not liable for any additional costs or losses incurred by the tour participant due to a tour cancellation. This includes but is not limited to, the cost of pre-paid airline tickets, hotel reservations or automobile rentals. Situations may arise out of our control which makes it necessary for us to cancel, advance or postpone a scheduled tour, change itineraries or make substitutions regarding hotels, cities, tour guides and other travel arrangements. In that event, JoyRides does not assume responsibility or liability for any resulting losses, expenses, or inconvenience.

 

3.13 Policies Concerning Airfare

Our main policy is that all tours and services are sold with airfare, which also can be purchased as an additional product (for self-drive tours & rentals) for a service fee ($55). If you order us to purchase airline tickets, Our policy is that all flights depart to/from the main national airport of the country where You reside.

If You are a group of at least 20 persons who want to have their own dedicated tour, You will be defined as a special group. We may be able to arrange for Your group from the destinations of your choice. If You so wish, You need to appoint a group leader responsible for providing Us with all necessary info no later than six months prior to departure

 NB: Please note that we normally do not book larger groups on the same flight, but divide these into 2-4 smaller groups, which fly independent flight schedules (normally depart/return at approximately the same time)

 

3.14 Responsibility

We are responsible for providing the services listed in the tour program. Even though we carefully select our tour service providers, we cannot be held liable for any situations that arise while on their premises. We are responsible for conscientious travel preparations. We are not responsible or liable for any accidents and cannot be held liable in any way for any occurrence in connection with the operation or the participant’s actions in connection with the tour, which might result in injury, death, or other damage to the client, his/her property, or his/her family, heirs, or assigns. We are not responsible for any delays or changes in schedule or other or any other conditions that may arise on the tour.

 

3.15 Luggage

Luggage is limited to one medium-sized suitcase/bag and a travel bag/backpack (carry-on) per person (20-22 kg, 44-48 lbs.), depending on the airline serving the tour You have ordered. JoyRides takes no responsibility for any loss, damage or delay regarding the delivery of luggage to travelers. Insurance for Your luggage is recommended.

 

3.16 Insurance and Protection

Beyond the insurance provided through your rental agreement, you are responsible for any damage or loss you cause to the vehicle and others. With your rental vehicle will be provided an insurance policy (“Policy”) that covers motorcycle/automobile liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage to third parties with limits no higher than the minimum amounts stated in the financial responsibility insurance laws of the state whose laws apply to the loss. Coverage under the Policy is void if you give the Vehicle to an unauthorized driver or otherwise materially breach this Agreement; or if you fail to cooperate in a loss investigation or to file a timely and accurate incident report. As an example, reservations in California include the following liability insurance:

  • $15.000 for injury/death to one person.
  • $30.000 for injury/death to more than one person.
  • $5.000 for damage to property.

 

You understand that insurance coverage does not apply when the vehicle is operated by persons other than the Renter or if the Renter operates the vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and the Renter will be personally responsible for all claims and damages resulting from such operation.

You are not insured for vehicle Damage or Theft! We offer several options from upgrading your Liability coverage or Damage Waiver (sect. 3.15 and 3.16). Please carefully check your insurance coverage with your insurance provider and/or from your credit card company. Because motorcycle rentals are considered exotic rentals most credit cards and insurance do not provide the same coverage as they do with normal car rentals.

 

3.17  SUPPLEMENT LIABILITY INSURANCE (SLI)

Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) provides supplemental third-party liability insurance at limits excess of state-required minimum financial responsibility limits. Note: SLI is supplemental and secondary to all other available insurance where permitted by law. Note: SLI does not cover damage to other Explorify vehicles. Note: SLI is only available at participating license US locations. We offer an SLI $300,000 Upgrade Coverage.

 

3.18 Loss/Theft Damage Waiver Coverage (LDW)

All Loss/Theft Damage Waivers (LDW) and Supplemental Liability Insurance options are subject to the specified terms and conditions of the rental contract and do not include coverage for injury, personal property, or damage as the result of negligence such as illegal use or use of rental while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  A Police Report is required for all accidents resulting in damage or injury. NOTE: All damage to a rented motorcycle or car without a police report will be considered to be the responsibility of the Renter.

Your Tour Guides are there to assist You while on tour and will do their best to ensure that every participant gets the most out of their JoyRides tour experience. It is extremely important for all riders to listen carefully to the Tour Guide’s safety and travel instructions to help ensure the best possible group riding conditions. Should You desire to travel independently for any length of time, Tour Guides may be able to assist You in planning a suitable route.

 

3.23 Weather Conditions

JoyRides strives to schedule its tours at a time of the year when the weather is typically pleasant for motorcycling. Many tours pass through areas where weather conditions can change very rapidly. JoyRides cannot be held liable for unpleasant and/or unsuitable weather conditions, no refunds shall be granted due to such conditions.

 

3.23 Support vehicle

For tours that have a support vehicle, we offer space for Your luggage (one suitcase plus one medium-sized bag per person) and the option to purchase cold drinks. The vehicle also carries tools, a first aid kit(s), and in some cases a spare motorcycle. It will be available to transport tour customers in an emergency such as serious illness or bike breakdown only. It is not meant to be a transport vehicle for temporarily reluctant or tired riders or passengers.

 

3.25 Alcohol & Drugs

JoyRides follows a strict “No alcohol and/or drug policy” during the driving parts of our tours. Furthermore, we encourage responsible drinking when participants are not driving. When participating in one of our tours You accept that tour leaders have the right to demand You submit to performing a breathalyzer and/or drug test before riding.  Furthermore, if You test positive, tour leaders have the right to exclude you from driving with the tour group. In such instances, You will be informed of where to meet up with the tour group.

 

3.26 Failure to Comply with Traffic Rules and JoyRides’ Rules and Regulations

Anyone participating in our tours must accept that the tour guide has the authority to exclude participants who are a danger to themselves or others. If You do not follow the traffic rules or JoyRides’ rules and regulations, We have the right to cancel Your tour and secure Your rental vehicle, and You have no right to claim compensation of any kind.

 

3.27 Helmet (included)

Open half (shell) helmets are provided with motorcycle rentals and tours. We encourage You to bring Your own helmet(s) to ensure comfort and proper fit. Helmets may be purchased at many locations where the bikes are rented.

 

3.28 Storage

For mc tour/rental customers, JoyRides will provide storage for additional luggage at the pick-up location while on tour. You store your luggage at your own risk. JoyRides does not take any responsibility for lost or stolen items.

Fuel and oil costs are included on all Guided Tour riding days. However, JoyRides reserves the right to charge an additional fee if fuel costs significantly exceed the average price per gallon at the time of order confirmation.

 

3.30 Responsibility for Vehicle Damage or Loss; Reporting to Police.

If you are involved in an accident you are obliged to contact the tour leader immediately. In case of personal injury, call the local emergency phone number 911 (US), 111 (New Zealand). Ensure that all persons involved receive the help and/or supervision they need and make sure to get a Police report of the incident. Secure documentation and take photos of the accident, people involved, vehicles, etc. NOTE: All damage to motorcycles/vehicles is automatically considered the renter’s responsibility if a “Police Report” is not obtained from the accident/incident.

 

3.31  Your rights if you damage your rental bike/vehicle

If you are hit by another person or vehicle and the incident is not your responsibility, the rental company will provide you with a new vehicle as soon as possible. If you are at fault, your lease and insurance are immediately terminated and the rental company will secure the vehicle for inspection, repair, etc. If you are at fault, you are responsible for all damage you incur to a third party and/or your own motorcycle/vehicle, provided you have not purchased insurance with adequate coverage (LDW Zero, SLI 300K). If you are at fault, and the rental company can quickly prepare your vehicle for safe & secure driving, you can request to continue the tour in the same vehicle (this is not a right and must be clarified with the tour leader). If your vehicle is no longer drivable, and you want to continue the tour, you will have to rent a new vehicle and buy new insurance, given that the rental company gives you the opportunity to do so. Both the rental company & JoyRides will prioritize safety and a good tour experience for everyone in your tour group.

 

3.32 Condition and Return of Vehicle.

You must return the vehicle to the rental office or other location we specify, on the date and time specified in the rental agreement, and in the same condition that you received it, except for ordinary wear.

16. By confirming an order to JoyRides and/or on www.joyrides.no/se/dk/fi and/or www.explorifytours.com, You accept our Terms and Conditions, and declare that You fully commit to the below “Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk”:

 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

EXPLORIFY MOTORCYCLE RENTALS, LLC (“Rental Company/Operator”) has agreed to rent to me and/or has agreed to permit me to operate or ride on a motorcycle owned by Rental Company/Operator (the “Motorcycle”).

I fully understand and acknowledge that operating or riding on a motorcycle is an activity that has its own unique risks and that serious injury or death could result from operating or riding on the Motorcycle through no fault of my own.  I EXPRESSLY AGREE TO ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF ANY ACCIDENTS OR PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, WHICH I MIGHT SUFFER AS A RESULT OF MY OPERATING OR RIDING ON THE MOTORCYCLE. I further agree to assume the entire risk of any property damage that might occur as a result of my operating or riding on the motorcycle.

If I am the operator of the Motorcycle, I possess the skill, knowledge, confidence, and experience on motorcycles the size of the Motorcycle to operate the Motorcycle in a safe manner, and I hold a current valid motorcycle operator’s license in the state in which I reside.

I am not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, other illegal substances, or any medications at this time, which may impair my judgment or ability to operate or ride on the Motorcycle.  I agree that I will not operate or ride on the Motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, other illegal substances, or such medications.

I have examined the Motorcycle and have been given an opportunity to ask questions regarding the operation of or riding on the Motorcycle.  I am satisfied that the Motorcycle is in good operable condition and that I fully understand how to operate or ride on the Motorcycle.

I will not allow any other person to operate or ride on the Motorcycle for any reason unless he is specifically permitted to do so by the Rental Company/Operator.  I agree to operate or ride on the Motorcycle safely, defensively and within the limits of the law and my abilities.  I will only operate or ride on the Motorcycle on public highways and roads.

If I am the operator of the Motorcycle, I agree to personally confirm that all passengers have signed and agreed to the terms of a Motorcycle Passenger Release of Liability and an Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk before I allow them to ride on the Motorcycle.

 

Accurate Head Measurement

I understand that using a tape measure, I should measure around my head just above my eyebrows and ears to obtain my nominal helmet size in inches or centimeters.  Use of the conversion chart below may be necessary to determine the best helmet size for me.  I acknowledge that the accurate fitting of my motorcycle helmet is of utmost importance.  A poorly fitting helmet will give much less protection, or may even part company with my head in the event of an accident.

 

Worth Remembering

I have fastened my chinstrap and ensured that the helmet does not slip from side to side.  I understand that if I bend my head forward to try to remove the helmet with the chinstrap in place, and the helmet moves or slips off my head, I need a smaller size.  Helmet linings almost always compress, so a new helmet on first fitting should feel a little tighter than snug.

I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to determine which helmet size best fits my head and that the Rental Company/Operator is not responsible for determining my proper helmet size.  The conversion chart provided above, and any assistance provided by the Rental Company/Operator in choosing a properly fitting helmet is not a substitute for me determining my proper helmet size by trying on helmets and feeling the fit of the helmet.  If the Rental Company/Operator has provided me with a helmet, I acknowledge that the Rental Company/Operator has provided me with the helmet size I requested and that the helmet fits me properly.  If I am using a helmet provided by me or any person other than the Rental Company/Operator, I acknowledge that the helmet fits me properly.

I agree to wear at all times, and, if I am the operator of the Motorcycle, I will require any passengers on the Motorcycle to wear at all times, a properly fitted motorcycle helmet (my own or one provided by the Rental Company/Operator) that has been approved by the D.O.T. (or, if outside the U.S.A., the appropriate local government authority).
