7. Registration Fee No-Refund Policy and Liability Exclusion (art. 33-35)

Art. 33 Registration Fee No Refund Policy

Subject to the conclusion of cancellation insurance (see Art. 34 Cancellation Insurance below), the registration fee shall not be refunded if a registered participant does not take part in the Sierre-Zinal Race, regardless of the reason.

The same shall apply if the courses of the Sierre-Zinal Race are modified or shortened due to weather conditions, or if one or more races must be cancelled for the same reasons (see Art. 12 Reservation for Weather Conditions).

In the event of cancellation or modification of the Sierre-Zinal Race due to the health situation, extraordinary circumstances (see Art. 13 Reserve for extraordinary situations), or for any other reason, the Organizer shall decide, at its sole discretion, whether the registration fee will be reimbursed (not at all, partially or in full).

Should the Sierre-Zinal Race be cancelled, the options concluded by the participants (see Art. 30 Options) shall, however, be reimbursed in full.

Under no circumstances shall participants be entitled to defer their registration to a subsequent edition of the Sierre-Zinal Race.

Art. 34 Cancellation Insurance

At the time of registration, the participant may take out cancellation insurance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the official timekeeper of the Sierre-Zinal Race ([Europäische Reiseversicherungs AG – ERV]). Information is available at: [https://datasport.com/fr/erv/].

This insurance is offered exclusively by the official timekeeper of the Sierre-Zinal Race. The Sierre-Zinal Race and the Organizer expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with this cancellation insurance.

The said cancellation insurance is not valid in the event of cancellation or modification of the race concept, in particular for sanitary reasons (see Art. 13 Reserve for extraordinary situations). It applies solely in the event of accident or illness affecting the participant (see the general terms and conditions of the official timekeeper available at [https://datasport.com/en/erv/]).

Art. 35 Exclusion of Liability

The Organizer shall accept no liability whatsoever for any accident, theft or loss occurring in connection with the Sierre-Zinal Race, whether on the course or outside the marked trail.

Each participant shall be solely responsible for any damage or injury caused to third parties and shall have no right of recourse against the Organizer.

Any participant who deliberately leaves the marked course shall no longer be under the responsibility of the Organizer.
