Terms of Use

Welcome to North Croatia Team. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of our website and services. By accessing this website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. User Accounts and Registration

By creating an account, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate, complete, and current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not use another person's account without their permission. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact us immediately.

2. Reservations

Users can reserve merchandise items (such as jerseys) through the website. Once submitted, a reservation will be marked as Pending until confirmed by our team.

You may cancel a Pending reservation at any time through your account page or by contacting us. If a reservation has moved past the Pending status, please contact us directly and we will assist you.

Cancellation Policy

No charges are applied for cancelled reservations, as payments are processed offsite. Cancellations of non-pending reservations are handled case by case — please reach out and we will do our best to help.

3. Payment

Payments are processed offsite through a third-party provider. We do not handle or store any payment information. For payment disputes, cancellations, or refund requests, contact us and we will guide you through the process.

4. Strava Integration

Our website integrates with the Strava API to allow users to connect their Strava account and display personal performance data, statistics, and ride overlays. Connecting your Strava account is entirely optional.

By connecting Strava, you authorise North Croatia Team to access and store your ride statistics, route data, and profile information for the purpose of displaying your personal cycling data on the site and generating visual content overlays (e.g., for social media posts). This data is used solely for these purposes and is not shared with third parties or used for advertising.

You can disconnect your Strava account at any time from your account page, or by revoking access directly in your Strava settings. Disconnecting will remove your stored Strava data from our systems. If new features are introduced that use your Strava data in a different way, you will be notified and additional consent may be required.

5. Privacy and Data Usage

We are committed to protecting your personal data. All data we collect — whether through your account, Strava integration, or other means — is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which describes what we collect, why, and your rights under GDPR.

Your data is never sold to third parties. It may be shared with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, under confidentiality obligations.

6. Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Analytics cookies are only set after you give explicit consent via our cookie consent tool. You can review and update your cookie preferences at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

7. Social Media and Content Sharing

By connecting your Strava account or participating in events and challenges we host, you may be included in visual content such as ride highlights or performance summaries shared on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Strava. You consent to North Croatia Team using your performance data and name in such content.

If you wish to opt out of being included in social media content, please contact us and we will adjust your preferences accordingly.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, images, logos, and design — is the property of North Croatia Team and is protected by applicable copyright laws. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute any content without our prior written consent.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services not owned or controlled by North Croatia Team. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, North Croatia Team, its organisers, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the website or its services, including but not limited to loss of data or service interruptions.

11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms of Use at any time. Significant changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the website. Continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
