Motorcycle Use and Responsibility

The motorcycle provided for your tour is your responsibility. You are liable for any and all damage to the motorcycle during the tour, regardless of fault. A security deposit or credit card pre-authorization may be required at the start of the tour to cover potential damages. While a spare motorcycle is available in our support vehicle, its use is at the discretion of the tour leader and is intended for mechanical failures, not for damages resulting from rider negligence.

Safety and Support

For your safety and peace of mind, every tour is accompanied by a trained medical professional. A support vehicle is present on all tours to carry luggage and provide assistance should it be required. While we take every precaution to ensure your well-being, you must ride within your skill level and adhere to all local traffic laws.

Assumption of Risk

All bikers, passengers and tour participants in an Askiwa Motorcycle Tours tour are required to read, accept and confirm their agreement to Askiwa’s Release and Waiver Form which forms part of the online reservation as a condition of proceeding with placing a reservation for the tour. This Release and Waiver takes full legal effect and becomes legally binding upon submitting an online reservation form and confirmation of a reservation. All bikers, passengers and tour participants are further required to execute and sign a written form of the Release and Waiver at the outset of the tour to reconfirm their understanding and agreement that they are bound legally and contractually to the Release and Waiver.

If riding a 2-Up, each biker, passenger and tour participant must each personally complete an individual online reservation form and must each personally agree to the Release and Waiver. All bikers, passengers and tour participants are recommended to please read and review the Release and Waiver prior to clicking the check box. Askiwa Motorcycle Tours is unable to accept bikers, passengers and tour participants without the Release Waiver Form in place prior to the event.

By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, all bikers, passengers and tour participants further give their consent to the collection, release, use, disclosure, and storage of their personal information in accordance with applicable law.

Itinerary Changes

The tour itinerary is a general guide and is subject to change. Factors such as weather, road conditions, and unforeseen events may necessitate changes to the route, accommodations, or schedule. We will make every effort to maintain the integrity of the tour but reserve the right to make modifications as needed for the safety and benefit of the group.

Governing Law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. Any disputes arising from this agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Alberta.
