In such cases, all payments made will be refunded in full, but JMA is not liable for any incidental costs incurred by the participant, such as flights, visas, vaccinations, or insurance.

4. Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability

Participation in a motorcycle tour inherently involves risk, including but not limited to injury, illness, property damage, or even death. Roads may be remote, unpaved, or poorly maintained, and riding conditions may vary due to weather or local traffic.

By joining a JMA tour, you voluntarily assume all such risks. You acknowledge that JC Motorcycle Adventures is not responsible or liable for any accidents, injuries, losses, or damages that may occur during the tour, whether caused by environmental factors, road conditions, mechanical failure, actions of third parties, or personal negligence.

All participants will be required to sign a Waiver and Release of Liability prior to the start of the tour. Refusal to sign this document will result in exclusion from the tour without refund.

5. Travel Insurance (Mandatory)

All participants are required to carry valid travel insurance with coverage for motorcycle riding (minimum 250cc), personal medical care, hospitalization, repatriation, evacuation, and third-party liability.

Proof of insurance must be presented before the tour begins. JMA reserves the right to refuse participation without refund if proper documentation is not provided.

6. Rider Responsibility

All riders must possess a valid motorcycle license and a minimum of two years of riding experience with motorcycles of similar or greater size than those provided.

Riders are expected to operate their vehicles in a safe and responsible manner and comply with all local traffic laws. Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate removal from the tour.

Participants are financially responsible for any damage to JMA motorcycles or property caused by negligence or improper use.

7. Itinerary Flexibility

Our tours are designed with adventure in mind. The itineraries are subject to change due to weather, road conditions, political situations, or other unforeseeable events. JMA will make every effort to provide an equivalent or improved experience in such cases.

No refunds/compensation will be provided for changes in itinerary beyond our control.
