• You can delete your account at any time from your personal area.
• We may suspend or close accounts used abusively (for example attacks on the service or massive automated use).

Itineraries, routes and road safety

Itineraries, GPX tracks and routes calculated by the Route Lab are indicative information, based on MARCO2WHEELS trips and on open data (OpenStreetMap) that may contain errors or be out of date: closed roads, passes not yet open, restrictions, roadworks, weather and road surface may change.

Prices, times and rules mentioned in the stories refer to the time of the trip. Before setting off always check pass openings, weather and the rules of the countries you ride through.

Riders are always responsible for their own conduct: follow the highway code and road signs, which take precedence over any track, and do not use the site while riding.

GPX files and site content

MARCO2WHEELS texts, photographs, videos and GPX tracks are protected by copyright. You may download the GPX files for personal, non-commercial use; you may not redistribute, sell or publish them elsewhere without written permission.

The routes you create in the Route Lab remain yours: we use them only to provide the service (saving, showing and letting you download them).

Partners, affiliate links and discount codes

Some links and codes on the Partners & Gear page are tied to collaborations or affiliate programmes, shown with transparency labels: MARCO2WHEELS may receive a commission or other benefits. Discounts, prices and conditions are set by the companies, which are responsible for their products and sales.

Availability and liability

The services are free and provided “as is”. We do our best to keep them working, but we cannot guarantee that they are always available or error-free, partly because some depend on third-party public services (maps, route calculation).

To the extent permitted by law, MARCO2WHEELS is not liable for damage arising from the use of the information or routes; consumer rights granted by law and liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence remain unaffected.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms: the date at the top shows the latest version and significant changes will be communicated to members.

Italian law applies. For consumers, the competent court is that of the consumer’s place of residence or domicile.
