By registering, the participant agrees with the following general requirements:
Download the general terms and conditions here. These contain important, logical and practical instructions for your Muskathlon trip, so read this! When registering for a Muskathlon, you declare your agreement with the following conditions and act accordingly.
1 Introduction
The Muskathlon is the ultimate challenge in an extreme location and is organized by the Stichting de 4e Musketier (the 4tht Musketeer). The 4th Musketeer works together with one or more 'Proud Partners', this is the charity for which you are fundraising.
The Muskathlon is not a competition or tour. The goal is to bring justice, in which one day of the journey is devoted to the Muskathlon sport goal. In a single case, this may differ. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for the fight against injustice.
In the remainder of these conditions the Muskathlon is also referred to as 'the journey'.
Dutch law applies on all Muskathlons organised by de 4e Musketier. These terms and conditions are applicable for all Muskathlons organised by the 4th Musketeer NL (Stichting de 4e Musketier).
2. Registration
Registration as a participant takes place after registration via the website www.muskathlon.com and a first deposit. After this payment, the personal fund yard page is mentioned in the participant overview on the website. The login details automatically receive the participant by e-mail immediately after registration. (When paying online the page is immediately visible, if the deposit is transferred via bank, the page is visible after manual processing.)
By registering, the participant agrees with the general terms & conditions and privacy policy.
The minimum age for participation in Muskathlon is 18 years. Participants aged 16 or 17 must be accompanied by a parent / guardian as a participant.
Participation in Muskathlon requires a medical certificate. This declaration is obtained by completing a medical questionnaire and a physical examination by a doctor of choice (questionnaire and completion follows via the personal page of the participant after registration). Participant is responsible for obtaining the medical certificate. If costs are involved, this is for the account of the participant.
The 4th Musketeer has the right to refuse the registration of participants.
A minimum number of participants applies to Muskathlon. The 4th Musketeer reserves the right to cancel the trip if there are too few registrations. If this is the case, the participant will be informed about this no later than 6 months before departure. First of all, attempts will be made to have the trip take place to a different date or country. If the participant explicitly declares that he / she does not want to take part in another trip, the prepaid deposit and, if applicable, other travel expenses will be refunded. Costs other than the travel charges made by the participant are at the expense and risk of the participant.
In case of force majeure, the 4th Musketeer has the right to cancel the trip or to adjust it before or during the trip without being liable for any damage by the participant. Force majeure occurs when abnormal and unforeseen circumstances arise that are independent of the will of the person who invokes it and of which the consequences can not be avoided despite all precautions. These include war, natural disasters, political unrest, general scarcity, strikes, epidemics, state of emergency or similar situations. In this case no refund of travel money will take place.
3. Sponsorship money
For 4M NL organised Muskathlons: Each participant is required to make every effort to achieve the objective of raising € 10,000 in sponsorship money. A participant that recruits for Proud Partner Compassion can also find a sponsor for a child. One child counts for € 1,000 in sponsorship money.
The barometer on the website is still updated the same day for online payments. Because processing of the sponsor children takes place at Compassion, these contributions are not immediately visible on the barometer. Other authorizations and bank bookings that have been manually donated outside the fund yard page have a lead time of 1-4 weeks (2 weeks on average).
6% of the sponsor money is intended to cover the costs and promotion of the Muskathlon.
4. Travel sum
In addition to the fundraising objective, the participant must pay the costs of the trip (travel sum, hotels, transfers etc) and the (flight) ticket price. The amount of the travel sum is included on the website of the Muskathlon and will have to be paid according to the payment schedule in article 5. A flight is to be arranged individually in contact with 4th Musketeer project leader or office for the right itinerary.
The 4th Musketier reserves the right to adjust the travel sum if the costs deviate substantially from the costs included in the budget. If the 4th Musketeer makes use of this option, the participant will be informed accordingly.
Possible additional costs that are not included in the fare include:
- Travel costs to preparation or information evenings.
- Material that participants want to purchase themselves (running or cycling clothing, bicycle, running shoes, sports nutrition, etc.).
- Passport costs (this must be valid for at least half a year after arrival in the country of participation).
- Depending on the country: costs for a visa.
- Cost of vaccinations and if desired DEET (anti-mosquito spray) e.d.
- Costs for a sports medical examination, if the in-house doctor does not want to cooperate with this. Tip: there may be additional health insurance policies that cover (partially) these costs.
- Transport of a bicycle.
- When participating for Compassion: requesting a statement about behavior.
- The travel sum is based on double or multi-person rooms. Individual travelers are assigned to someone else, unless a single room is requested for registration. For a single room an additional travel fee is due.
- Dietary requirements can be taken into account in many cases, after prior notification to the 4th Musketeer. However, full implementation can not be guaranteed. Any additional costs are at the expense of the participant and must be paid at the destination.
