CHANGE OF CHALLENGE/PARTICIPANT
ARTICLE 5
BIDEBIKE offers a range of challenges for which a participant can register via the website www.lacannibale.com.
Participants can exchange their challenge for another challenge, either a downgrade or an upgrade. A switch between cycling and walking or between walking and cycling is also possible. The registration can also be transferred nominally, meaning it can be put in someone else’s name.
An administrative fee of 25 EUR is charged for changes. Requests for changes must always be made in writing via info@lacannibale.com.
In case of a downgrade, there is no refund of the difference in the participation price. In case of an upgrade, the cost of that specific challenge must be paid. Exchanging a challenge or participant is possible until June 27, 2025, at the latest. For changes after April 30, 2025, it is no longer possible to exchange the originally ordered walking or cycling jersey (as well as the frame plate and bib number).
CANCELLATION BY THE PARTICIPANT
ARTICLE 6
In case of cancellation of participation, a refund is not possible. An exception to this is cancellation by participants who have taken out the optional cancellation insurance mentioned in Article 4.
CANCELLATION BY BIDEBIKE
ARTICLE 7A
If BIDEBIKE cancels one of the rides, walks, or the climb before or during the event due to force majeure or an external cause, the participant will be informed as soon as possible. Force majeure occurs if BIDEBIKE cannot fulfill its contractual obligations due to circumstances beyond its control that are not attributable to it, such as weather conditions, disasters, decisions imposed by authorities, etc. Weather conditions on and around Mont Ventoux can be accompanied by poorly predictable extremes of wind, rain, cold, heat, hail… Bad weather is part of the sport, but if it endangers the safety of the participants to a high degree, far-reaching measures may be necessary, such as partially or completely prohibiting the Ventoux climb.
In the event of such a cancellation by BIDEBIKE, the participation fee will not be refunded, either in part or in full.
ARTICLE 7B
For all challenges, time limits will be set at various locations, after which further participation in the tour will be mandatorily interrupted. These time limits will be communicated very clearly. Ignoring these limits is entirely at the responsibility of the participant, who will consequently no longer be supported by the organization (supplies, medical and technical assistance, etc.).
LIABILITY OF THE PARTICIPANT
ARTICLE 8
The participant is liable for all damage resulting from failure to comply with their contractual obligations. The participant is liable for all non-contractual damage caused by their actions and thereby (moral and/or material) damage caused to third parties, property of third parties, or property of BIDEBIKE.
If the participant, through their behavior or actions, jeopardizes the safety or integrity of BIDEBIKE, the staff, supervisors/volunteers, or other participants, BIDEBIKE has the right to exclude the participant from further participation with immediate effect without being entitled to any compensation or refund of part or all of the participation price and chosen options. All associated costs are for the account of the participant in question.
LIABILITY OF BIDEBIKE
ARTICLE 9
BIDEBIKE is bound to comply with its contractual obligations unless:
- There is a case of force majeure or an external cause.
- A participant or a third party is responsible for the failure in the execution of the contract.
Unless one of the aforementioned exceptions applies, BIDEBIKE will, in the event of a breach of its contractual obligations, proceed to compensate for the damage insofar as the participant can provide proof of fault – damage – causal link.
COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
ARTICLE 10
Complaints must be communicated in writing by participants to BIDEBIKE at the latest within 8 days starting from the incident to which the complaint relates. The complaint must be submitted either by registered mail to BIDEBIKE, Heiberg 7 at 2200 Herentals (BE), or by e-mail to info@lacannnibale.com. Complaints submitted to BIDEBIKE after this period of 8 days will be declared inadmissible.

WALKING AND CYCLING JERSEY
ARTICLE 14
Wearing the La Cannibale cycling and walking jersey is highly recommended during the event. BIDEBIKE aims to connect participants and radiate unity. Wearing the jersey is an important means to that end. It also produces lovely photos and helps to ensure the participants are easily recognisable and their safety is safeguarded.
Each participant is responsible for the size choice of their walking and cycling jersey. Once the size choice is final and submitted, it can no longer be changed. BIDEBIKE advises every participant to thoroughly consult the size charts on the website of partner Bioracer.
The cycling and walking jerseys must be physically picked up during check-in at the Village Cannibale the day before the event. Only participants who order extra cycling clothing by April 30, 2025, at the latest, will have the walking and cycling jerseys sent to their home for a shipping fee.
In case of a no-show, the right to the cycling or walking jersey expires.
COMPETENT COURT
ARTICLE 15
All disputes regarding LA CANNIBALE will be settled by the competent court of the district of Turnhout (BE).
