Refund Policy
Effective Date: November 14, 2025
Out of Staters (OOS) Bicycle Club maintains a clear and fair refund policy for all charter fees and event registrations.
Standard Cancellation and Refund Terms
Refunds for charter fees will be issued through June 10, 2025, less a 10% cancellation fee.
No refunds will be given after June 10, 2025. This policy is strictly enforced.
Cancellation Protection Plan
Cancellation Protection can be added to any customer’s cart for an additional $97. This extends the normal cancellation deadline from June 10th to July 10th (one week before we meet riders on the east side of the state).
This protection plan allows you to cancel for any reason up to July 10th and receive a refund less the 10% cancellation fee.
