We require a $1500 damage deposit for every snow bike rental that goes out, which covers damage incurred by the renter. You are given time prior to your ride to inspect the machine to note any prior issues / damage.
The damage deposit covers damaged parts, $100/hr labor rate, and any downtime resulting in loss of business if client is found responsible for damaging or losing CSB property. If repair costs exceed the $1500 damage deposit, the Client is responsible for complete cost of repair in such an event.
CSB does not provide insurance for equipment, or first / third party liability. YOU are responsible for the safety of yourself, others around you, other peoples equipment, and our equipment. There is no guarantee of safety for the day, please ride responsibly.
The damage deposit will be used in the event where a client damages or loses CSB equipment. Be it fault or no fault of their own, accidents happen, and the deposit will be used in such an event.
Everyone is at a loss in these situations, and it is a combined effort to avoid this kind of scenario from happening. We want our clients to ride and have fun, but ask them to ride well within their ability level, and make conservative decisions about terrain selection. Personal Injury and equipment damage ruins everyones day and is costly for both parties in the end.
We never desire to use the deposit as it typically means something unfortunate has already happened. Please work with us to avoid these situations, and have a safe enjoyable experience. Reckless and disrespectful riding is not tolerated. We will end a tour pre-maturely if this type of behavior is demonstrated to mitigate risk and potential damage to our equipment or other riders.
