Copyright
The content of this website is protected under copyright law. Publication of content and photographic materials from this website is only permissible with the expressed permission of our editorial staff. Information on this website has been presented to the best of our knowledge and has been painstakingly edited for its accuracy. Nevertheless, content and factual errors cannot be completely excluded. The author accepts no guarantee or liability whatsoever for the correctness, topicality or comprehensiveness of information presented. All information is provided without warranty. This also applies to all links targeting other URLs which are cited on our website.

All documents, texts, photos and descriptions, which are available for download, are subject to the copyright of the Vsevolod Shchepanskyi. All liabilities for direct or indirect damages through utilisation are excluded. This involves also data loss and escaped profits.
Vsevolod Shchepanskyi wants to consider the copyrights of the used graphics, audio data, videos and texts of all publications. All mentioned trademarks, offered by the internet, and probably protected by third parties are subject to the conditions of the particular valid trademark law and to the right of possession of the particular owners. Just by mentioning, you can’t jump to the conclusion that the trademark is not protected by third parties.

Liability disclaimer
1. Online Content
The author accepts no responsibility for the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information supplied. Liability claims against the author based on damages of material or emotional nature, caused by the use or non-use of information presented, or through the use of erroneous or incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded, insofar as the author is not guilty of any demonstrably willful or gross negligence. All information presented is subject to change and is non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete, or shut down portions of the site without notice, or to close down this publication in its entirety either temporarily or permanently.
2. References and Links
With regards to direct or indirect references to external Internet sites (“links”) which are themselves outside the field of responsibility of the author, liability for illegal content will only then be assumed if the author has knowledge of the content of those sites and it is technically feasible and reasonable for the author to prevent usage of those. The author hereby expressly declares that, at the time links were installed on this site, no illegal content was apparent on the targeted sites. The author has absolutely no influence on the current or future design, content or copyright of the linked pages. Consequently, the author expressly distances himself from all content on said linked pages which have been altered since installation of the original link. This declaration applies to all references and links within the author’s own Internet site, as well as entries made by other parties in guestbooks, discussion forums and mailing lists which were created by the author. Sole liability for illegal, erroneous or incomplete content, and particularly for damages which might be caused by use or non-use of any such information supplied, is borne by the provider of the target site, and not by the provider who included a link to that particular site.
3. Copyright and Trademarking
The author makes every effort in all publications to respect copyright on all graphics, audio files, video clips and texts, and to make use of self-created graphics, audio files, video clips and texts, or to avail himself of non-licensed graphics, audio files, video clips and texts. All those brand names and trademarks cited in the author’s Internet platform, some of which are, on occasion, protected by third parties, are subject without restriction to applicable copyright laws and the proprietary rights of the registered owners. The conclusion should not be drawn from their mere naming, that trademarks are not protected by third-party rights! Copyrights for those objects published and created by the author himself, remain solely with the author. Duplication or use of such graphics, audio documents, video clips and texts in other electronic or print publications, is not permitted, except with the expressed permission of the author.
4. Data Privacy
As long as the website provides the opportunity to enter personal or business information (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), the user does so on an expressly voluntary basis. The user therefore agrees that his data in this case will be electronically recorded – until written revocation. The user may avail himself and/or pay for all proffered services – insofar as it is technically possibly or feasible – without having to enter such information or by providing anonymous data or a pseudonym.
5. Legal Force of this Liability Disclaimer
This liability disclaimer is to be regarded as part of those Internet pages from which it was referenced. In so far as portions or isolated formulations of the text do not, no longer or incompletely reflect applicable law, the content and validity of the remaining portions of the document remain unaffected.
6. Online-dispute resolution according to Art. 14 Abs. 1 ODR-VO
The European Commission provides under http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ a platform for online-dispute resolution.
Cookies | Advertisements
Our website uses various first- and third-party cookies for statistics, web fonts and marketing. Cookies are small text files that, with the help of the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox,…), are saved on your terminal. They do not cause any damage. We also use Google technologies (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, GA Audiences, DoubleClick, DoubleClick Ad Exchange-Buyer) and Facebook technologies (Facebook Connect, Facebook Social Plugins, Facebook Impressions). If you do not agree, we recommend to delete the cookies in your browser and not to accept any cookies on our page.
Only information, which your Internet browser automatically transmits to the server, will be stored. This applies in particular to: IP address, time of the server enquiry, operating system, browser type/version, name of your Internet service provider, Internet page from where our website is accessed and pages which you access on www.bike-holidays.com and its subpages. This is only for information purposes which do not allow for conclusions about you. The IP address is pseudonymised.
We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly and to show suitable advertisements on various platforms, e.g. Google. Some cookies will remain on your terminal until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. However, we do not use personal data to send you targeted advertisements, unless you have given your expressed consent. If you have disabled the placing of cookies or if you have set restrictions, then the functionality of our website may be restricted.
Web Analysis | Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC with headquarters in Mountain View, United States (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files which are saved on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of this website. The information generated by these cookies will usually be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if the IP anonymisation is activated on our website, Google will shorten your IP address within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP anonymisation on our website is activated. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities and to perform services related to the use of the website and the internet for us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storing of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that you might not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent in that case. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data created by the cookie and data relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
We use Google Analytics with the extension „_anonymizeIp()“. With this, IP addresses are shortened (so-called IP masking). A reference to particular persons is therefore ruled out. Google participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Thus, there is an appropriate data protection level in exceptional cases where Google transmits personal data to the USA. Information about Google: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
