• MTB east CIC, its directors, volunteers, marshals and host landowners accept no liability for injury, loss or damage arising from your participation, except where caused by our proven negligence, and except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded (for example, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977).
• You're encouraged to hold your own personal accident insurance, some cycling body memberships include this; check your own cover.
• In a medical emergency, you consent to reasonable first aid and emergency medical treatment being given on your (or your rider's) behalf if you or they are unable to give consent at the time.
