General risk warning

You acknowledge that motor sport is an inherently DANGEROUS recreational activity and that regardless of the precautions which you might take, you are exposed to significant risk of property damage, physical harm, disability or death.

If you do not wish to be exposed to such risks, then you should not participate in the Event.

You acknowledge that the risks associated with attending or participating in the Event include, without limitation, the risk that you may suffer harm as a result of:

Cancellation Policy

Dust Hustle reserves the right at its discretion for any reason and without prior notice to reschedule or cancel the Event.

Your registration will be valid for any rescheduled Event, unless Dust Hustle notifies you otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt your inability to attend any rescheduled Event will not entitle you to any refund. Dust Hustle’s refund policy is set out below in these terms and conditions.

Circumstances that may see the event cancelled or rescheduled include, but are not limited to, acts of god, pandemic (including COVID-19), fire, storm, rain, floods, safety conditions, unsuitability of conditions at the race venue and any other circumstance outside of the control of Dust Hustle.

Refund Policy

You are entitled to a 100% refund if, through injury, illness or unforeseen circumstances, you withdraw more than two weeks (14 days) before the event. You must notify Dust Hustle of such withdrawal and Dust Hustle may require that you show reasonable information or evidence of your injury, illness or circumstances.

If you withdraw less than two weeks (14 days) from the Event and your position can’t be filled with a rider off the rider waitlist then you will forfeit 100% of your entry fee.

Incorrect purchases or change of mind are NOT guaranteed a refund and are at the discretion of Dust Hustle.

Cancellation prior to the Event – Dust Hustle may refund your registration fee or give you a credit note or voucher for a future event if the Event is cancelled before you enter the Event Venue.

Early completion or cancellation during the Event – You acknowledge that one of the risks associated with attending or participating in the Event is that racing could be stopped before the scheduled completion time and/or you may be required to leave the Event Venue before the scheduled completion time, as determined by Dust Hustle at its sole discretion.  Without limitation, this could occur if riding conditions become too dangerous during the race (for example, due to dust, rain, serious injury, illness or death) or if Dust Hustle is required to stop the Event for reasons outside of its control (for example, due to any Government rule or order relating to COVID-19).  In these circumstances, you may not be entitled to a refund.

Dust Hustle accepts no responsibility or liability for any other additional costs incurred by you in relation to any Event that is cancelled. Any payment to you for any cancellation of an Event is limited to a maximum of the amount paid by you to Dust Hustle in relation to the relevant Event.
