BOOKING

At Tournride we work with a booking system to ensure the availability of all the material to our customers. Tournride S.L. puts at your disposal a simple system of online booking in which you may get a quotation, compare prices and even make a booking. In addition, you can also book via email, via form or by telephone. Nevertheless, please read these conditions and the section of frequently asked questions beforehand.

Booking Process

To make a booking on our website, the customer should create first an account with their personal details, in which it is extremely important for the data to be accurate and be updated.

Upon completing this first step, during the booking process, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide a comprehensive and accurate address for the delivery and collection of the bicycles. The customer should make sure that in both the collection and delivery places the bicycles will be accepted and kept safe, until the arrival of the customer for the delivery address, or until our arrival to the collection point.

If the booking is made directly by our staff, it is the customer’s responsibility to review and check that the information is correct. If the client detect any mistake, they should inform our staff via email as soon as possible.

In the event that the customer wishes to modify the booking, the changes shall be requested via email, until 5 days prior to the start of the booking. Where that time limit is not met, Tournride does not assume any liability if the changes cannot be made.
The customer should take into account that some changes in the booking can imply variations on the price due to modifications on the bicycles, transportation or accessories.

A booking would be confirmed when the payment is made in any of the methods that Tournride puts at your disposal. That payment, either total or partial, will ensure to the customer the availability of the booked material for the selected dates.
