There are no refunds.

YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE:

Entry fee event credit:

We don't like to come across as rude, but we spend an enormous amount of time planning events, and if you wish to withdraw from an event we no longer refund your entry. You may receive an event credit to a future DCB Extreme Adventures event. You must notify us in writing (email- shannon@dcbadventures.com or 2487 S. Gilbert Road #106-488, Gilbert, AZ 85295) of your intent to withdraw and meet one of the following criteria.

1) If for any reason, you notify DCB Extreme Adventures more than 30 days prior to the event date you will receive a 50% credit towards a future DCB Extreme Adventures Event.. This credit only covers the race entry fee. USAT one-day licenses, processing fees and online registration fees will not be included with your credit.

2) If you have a medical reason, you will need to provide a signed doctors letter advising us that you are not able to participate. DCB Extreme Adventures must receive this letter at least 14 days prior to the event date in order for you to receive your 50% race event credit. This credit only covers the race entry fee. USAT one-day licenses, processing fees and online registration fees will not be included in your credit.

3) Extenuating Circumstances: If you have an injury or a member of your immediate family has a death or a medical emergency and it is within 14 days of the scheduled event and greater than 72 hours prior to the event, you will need to notify us in writing. The race director will consider each request on a case-by-case basis for future DCB Extreme Adventures event credit. No credits will be issued with less than 72 hours of race date.

Please be advised that the sanctioning body considers transferred event entry fraud. If you sell or give your race slot away, both you and the person using the race slot are subject to a 2-year suspension from racing at any USAS sanctioned race. PLEASE contact us if you intend on doing something like this and we will do it the right way.

WE CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE THE EVENT:

Entry fee event credit:

Let me start out by reminding you that there are no refunds. Now, in the unlikely event (in Arizona) that the event is cancelled or postponed and rescheduled to an alternate date you will be provided an option.

a) Participate in the rescheduled event

b) Use the credit (less any sanctioning fees paid, those will be refunded), towards a future DCB event. Credits must be used by the registered participant, and within a 9 month window.

Thank you.
