4. Roadworthiness: Each participant is personally responsible for the 
roadworthiness of his / her vehicle. 
The Club Holiday organizers will not 
be responsible or liable for any defects 
or breakdowns of a vehicle, or the 
registrant’s inability to continue The 
Holiday. - No refunds will be granted 
in the event of a registrant’s inability to 
continue.
5. Liability Waiver: The General 
Conditions published in the road book 
will apply. Please be reminded that by 
submitting an application for participation in The Club Holiday tour, each 
applicant has expressly waived his / 
her right, as well as the right of his / 
her dependents and estates, to any legal 
recourse against the organizer, against 
any other participants and co-drivers of 
third vehicles participating in the event, 
against any authorities or sponsors 
associated with the event, regarding 
any accident, injury, loss or damage in 
connection with The Holiday.
6. Technical Inspection: There will be 
no technical inspection of the vehicles; 
however the Organizer reserves the 
right to disqualify vehicles with obviously major shortcomings.
7. Service: As we will be travelling 
through well developed parts of the 
states of New York and Connecticut 
with service facilities never very far 
away, there will be no service vehicle 
following the tour participants. 
8. Daily Routes and Schedules: Your 
road books will contain details about 
the daily routes, including maps and 
suggested departure and arrival times. 
9. Point-System and Awards: As this 
Club Holiday tour is not being organized as a timed-distance rally, but 
rather a touristic undertaking, there 
will be no demerit points recorded for 
departures or arrivals outside the suggested time windows. 
10. Baggage: Participants are encouraged to plan their baggage around the 
trunk capacities of their tour vehicles. 
If anyone needs assistance with baggage, due to limited trunk space (such 
as in pre-war cars or Z1s), arrangements will be made for assistance from 
participants with larger vehicles. There 
will be no separate luggage vehicle.
11. Additional Information / Clarifications: Prior to the start of The Club 
Holiday additional information and 
answers to Registrants’ questions will 
be issued through a continuing series 
of INFO-Letters.
12. Cancellation Options: As the 
required down payment from the 
participants is going directly to nonrefundable down-payments to hotels, a 
great deal of thought has been given to 
how to best protect your interests with 
regard to your pre-payments in the 
event of a later cancellation.
12.1 Trip Cancellation 
Insurance is available to cover this 
exposure. Click on “trip cancellation insurance” on Google, and 
you’ll find a number of providers. 
(I purchased such insurance for 
a Baltic cruise I booked last year 
for August 2012 from American 
Express.)
12.2 If cancellation due to 
unforeseen circumstances occurs 
prior to Dec.1, 2012 the BMW 
V&CCCA will refund everything 
but $250. If cancellation occurs 
between Dec. 1, 2012 and March 
15, 2013, the BMW V&CCCA 
will retain the $500 down payment. After March 15, 2013 no 
cancellations can be accepted.
12.3 The cancellation risks 
of initially $250 (through Dec. 1, 
2012), then $500 (from Dec. 2, 
2012 through March 15, 2013) 
and ultimately the entire fee would 
be waived in their entirety if the 
registrant who needs to cancel for 
any reason arranges for a qualified 
replacement participant.REGISTRATION FORM
