6.1

Curbstone organises automotive events, including but not limited to track days, driver training sessions, and roadbook events, and may provide access to circuits, accommodation, catering, and related services.

The Client acknowledges that automotive events involve inherent risks and may be dangerous if appropriate rules are not strictly observed. In order to ensure safety and proper conduct, Curbstone has established a comprehensive set of rules (hereinafter referred to as the “Rules”), which are available on Curbstone’s website under the PRACTICAL section.

The Rules, including but not limited to Preparation Requirements, Track Day Rules and Behaviour, and Waivers, form an integral and essential part of the Contract. The Client undertakes to review and fully understand the Rules prior to attending the event.

Curbstone is subject to a best-efforts obligation to provide the Client with an appropriate environment in which to participate in the event.

The Client undertakes to comply at all times with:

  • the Rules;
  • any additional rules or instructions communicated by Curbstone prior to or during the event; and
  • all rules, regulations, and requirements imposed by the circuit owner or operator.

Attendance at the mandatory briefing (normally held on the day of the event, with location and timing communicated in advance) is compulsory. Important operational, safety, or organisational information may be provided during this briefing.

Any failure to comply with the Rules, additional instructions, circuit regulations, or failure to attend the mandatory briefing shall constitute a serious breach of the Contract.

As a consequence of such breach:

  • Curbstone may exclude or ban the Client and/or any of the Client’s Participants from the circuit, without any right to refund or compensation;
  • Curbstone shall not be liable for any damage, loss, or injury suffered by the Client or the Client’s Participants;
  • the Client may be held liable for any damage suffered by Curbstone, the circuit operator, or any third party.


6.2

The Client remains fully responsible for ensuring that all Client’s Participants comply with the Rules, additional instructions, and applicable circuit regulations. Any breach by a Client’s Participant shall be deemed a breach by the Client.


6.3

The Client, the Client’s Participants, and the Client’s vehicle(s) must comply at all times with all rules and regulations imposed by the circuit owner or operator, including but not limited to technical requirements and noise limits (expressed in decibels).

The Client and all Client’s Participants shall be required to sign an indemnity and waiver on the day of the event, the text of which is set out on page 1 of this document, or as otherwise required by the circuit operator.


6.4

Curbstone shall not be obliged to offer any refund or compensation if the circuit owner or operator, acting at its sole and absolute discretion, refuses to grant access to the track to the Client, the Client’s Participants, or any vehicle.

7.1

Notwithstanding the Rules established by Curbstone, the Client acknowledges that vehicles travelling at speed involve inherent and unavoidable risks, including the risk of accident, personal injury, and material damage, which cannot be entirely eliminated even when all applicable rules are complied with.

Accidents may occur at any time. Curbstone shall not be liable for any accident, nor for any resulting damage to vehicles, property, or other assets, whether belonging to the Client, the Client’s Participants, or third parties.

The Client acknowledges that participation is at his own risk and undertakes to ensure that his vehicle and any potential third-party liability are adequately insured for track use.

Curbstone shall only be liable in the event of proven gross negligence, fraud, or intentional fault attributable to Curbstone.


7.2

The Client shall be liable for any and all damage, loss, or expense suffered by Curbstone arising from a breach of the Contract by the Client or any of the Client’s Participants.


7.3

Curbstone shall not be liable for any failure to perform, partial performance, or delay in the performance of the Contract resulting from any event or circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to strikes, lock-outs, industrial disputes, system failures, floods, fire, explosion, accident, epidemic, pandemic, or any comparable force majeure event.

In particular:

  • no refund shall be granted if the circuit is rendered partially or wholly unfit for use due to adverse weather conditions or other circumstances beyond Curbstone’s reasonable control;
  • Curbstone shall not be liable for any travel delays or failures resulting in the Client’s late arrival or non-arrival at the circuit;
  • no refund shall be granted if the Client or the Client’s vehicle is declared unfit to access the track in accordance with the Rules or circuit regulations.


7.4

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Party shall be liable to the other for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or loss of goodwill, howsoever arising.


7.5

Except in cases of proven fraud or where liability cannot be limited under mandatory law, any liability of either Party shall in all circumstances be limited to an amount equal to the Price paid for the event.

This limitation shall not apply to damage caused to circuit infrastructure or rented facilities. In such case, the Client shall be fully responsible for all damage caused by himself or by any of the Client’s Participants, including but not limited to damage to guard rails, safety barriers, track surfaces, or other installations, and shall reimburse all repair, replacement, and related costs incurred, based on an invoice or quotation issued by the circuit owner or facility operator.

In the event of an accident with a Client or a Client’s Participant, involving damage to Curbstone or other parties (such as the circuit), the Client is obliged to have a joint accident report drawn up. Until this has been done, the vehicle involved in the accident cannot be released. In the event of damage to the circuit, the Client undertakes to accept the estimated cost of the damage as determined by the circuit, unless, of course, there is evidence that the estimated cost is manifestly excessive.


7.6

Nothing in these terms and conditions shall:

  • limit or exclude any rights the Client may have as a consumer under applicable mandatory law; or
  • exclude or limit Curbstone’s liability for death or personal injury resulting from Curbstone’s gross negligence or intentional fault, where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

These terms and conditions, together with Curbstone’s current prices, the Rules, the Booking form, and the contact details provided by Curbstone, constitute the entire agreement between Curbstone and the Client relating to the supply of services by Curbstone.

The Client acknowledges that he has not relied on any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty, whether oral or written, made by or on behalf of Curbstone, including by any salesperson, agent, or representative, other than those expressly set out in the Contract.

No statement made by any salesperson, agent, or representative of Curbstone shall be construed as a variation of these terms and conditions or as an authorised representation regarding the nature, scope, or quality of the services, unless expressly confirmed in writing by Curbstone.

Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, Curbstone shall not be liable for any statement or representation that is untrue, inaccurate, or misleading.

All notices from the Client to Curbstone must be in writing and must be sent to Curbstone’s contact address at Curbstone N.V./S.A. Woluwedal 46, 1200 Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, Belgium, and all notices from Curbstone to the Client will be sent by email or to the address set out on the booking form.

This Contract shall be governed by Belgian law. The competent courts of Brussels, Belgium, shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
