Â
7.1.
Curbstone organises car events (e.g. track days, driver training, and roadbook events) and offers the Client a track, accommodation, catering, and so on.
Curbstone also acknowledges that car events can be dangerous if there are no rules and if Curbstone allows people to behave irresponsibly during a car event.
Therefore, Curbstone has drawn up a set of rules (hereinafter the ‘Rules’) which the Client can find on the Curbstone website (PRACTICAL section).
The Rules (including PREPARATION, TRACK DAY RULES AND BEHAVIOUR and WAIVERS) are an essential part of the Contract and the Client is obliged to study them in detail before coming to the event.
Curbstone’s obligation (best effort obligation) is to offer the Client an appropriate environment where the Client can enjoy their car event.
The Client must at all times comply with the Rules and with (1) any additional Rules which Curbstone may communicate to the Client before the event and (2) all the regulations imposed by the circuit owner/operator.
The briefing (normally on the day of the event – exact location and timing will be sent to the Client prior to the event) is also mandatory, since additional information may be communicated during this briefing.
Failure to comply with the Rules or to attend the briefing on the day of the event is deemed a serious breach of contract.
As a result:
Â
7.2.
As previously mentioned, the Client is wholly responsible for the obligation of the Client’s Participants to follow the Rules.
7.3.
In addition the Client, their passengers/Client’s Participants and the Client’s vehicle must comply with any rules and regulations imposed by the circuit (example e.g.: noise limits in dB). The Client, their passengers and the Client’s Participants will also be required to sign an indemnity/waiver containing the following text on the day of the event:

Â
7.4.
Once again, Curbstone will not be obliged to offer any compensation if the circuit, at its absolute discretion, refuses to allow the Client, their passengers, the Client’s Participants or the Client’s vehicle onto the track.
Â
8.1.
Notwithstanding the Rules established by Curbstone, vehicles travelling at speed can be dangerous and cause damage. This risk can never be avoided (even with the Rules established by Curbstone), a fact which must be recognised by the Client.
Accidents can occur at any time. Curbstone cannot be held liable for accidents or for any damage to any vehicle or other property as a result of any accident. Consequently, if the Client is concerned about their vehicle or third-party liability, they must ensure that their vehicle is insured for track use.
Curbstone is liable only in the event of proven fault/gross negligence/fraud.
Â
8.2.
The Client is liable for any damage suffered by Curbstone in the event of a breach of contract by the Client/the Client’s Participants.
Â
8.3.
Curbstone will not be liable towards the Client for any failure to honour the Client’s booking or for any delay to their Booking which is caused by any event or circumstance beyond Curbstone’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems, or flood, fire, explosion, accident or pandemic. In particular, no refunds (either for travel or for the cost of the track day/event) will be given in the event of the track being unfit for use as a result of inclement weather or other circumstances beyond Curbstone’s reasonable control. Likewise, Curbstone will not be liable if travel delays result in failure to arrive at the track on time or at all. No refunds (either for travel or for the cost of the car event) will be given in the event of the Client or their vehicle being declared unfit to use the track. The Client is referred to the Rules with regard to the specific regulations that apply.
Â
8.4.
Unless precluded by law, none of the Parties will be liable towards the other Party for any indirect or consequential loss, damage or expenses (including loss of profits, business or goodwill), however they arise.
Â
8.5.
If one of the Parties is liable in any way, such liability will always be limited to a maximum amount equal to the Price (except in the case of proven fraud).
This limitation does not include potential damage to the circuit or road infrastructure in the event of an accident. In such cases, the Client is fully liable for any potential damage which they, their passengers or the Client’s Participants may cause to the circuit facilities, in particular the guard rails, or any other facilities rented for the event. The Client agrees to reimburse the costs and/or other expenses thus incurred, based on a quote established by the operating company of the circuit or rented facility.
Â
Â
8.6.
Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to limit any rights which one of the Parties may have as a consumer under the applicable local law or other statutory rights which may not be excluded, or in any way to exclude or limit Curbstone’s liability towards the Client for any death or personal injury resulting from Curbstone’s gross negligence.
Â
If any part of these terms and conditions is unenforceable, the enforceability of any other part of these conditions will not be affected.
Â
These terms and conditions, together with Curbstone’s current prices and Rules, the booking form and the contact details, set out the entirety of the Contract relating to the supply of the services to the Client by Curbstone. Nothing said by any sales person on Curbstone’s behalf should be understood as a variation of these terms and conditions or as an authorised representation concerning the nature of the services offered by Curbstone.
Except in cases of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, Curbstone will have no liability in the event of any such representation being untrue or misleading.
Â
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. Boulevard de la Woluwe, 46, 1200 Woluwé-Saint-Lambert, Belgium. All notices from Curbstone to the Client will be sent by email or to the address set out on the booking form.
Â
The Contract is governed by and interpreted in accordance with Belgian law. The competent Belgian courts in Brussels will have jurisdiction to resolve any disputes between the Parties.
