Insurance
In France, the associaton ALIORE is insured according to « Public liability » or third party insurance with the MAIF.
However, ALIORE, its national and international partners, and the families lodging participants cannot be held responsible for loss or damages affecting the participant throughout the duration of the programme. The participant assumes complete responsibility for travel to the workshop as well as health concerns, accidents or need for cancellation.
For participants of French nationality who are staying in France, public liability insurance («responsabilité civile ») is obligatory.
For all other participants (French citizens in foreign countries and all other nationalities), travel insurance (public liability, medical coverage, repatriation, cancellation) is obligatory. Confirmation of this insurance must be submitted to ALIORE before the programme begins.

Force majeure
Force majeure refers to any outside event beyond ALIORE's control for which ALIORE cannot be held responsible and which may hinder the participant, the association or the service provider (partner) from carrying out all or part of the obligations mentioned in the contract. This can include strikes in transportation systems, hotel personnel, airtraffic controllers, political instability and civil uprising, any governmental public prohibitions, weather, geographical, or sanitary conditions affecting the country where the programme or workshop is taking place. In the case of force majeure, the parties so affected shall be relieved of their reciprocal obligations during the period that such event and its consequences continue, but only to the extent so prevented. In addition both parties are responsible for costs incurred due to force majeure conditions. Consequently in the case of force majeure, travellers are solely responsible for costs necessary for the continuation of their voyage.

Participant's Obligations
Participants must have within their possession all necessary legal documents (passports, visas) for entering and staying in the country where the programme or workshop will be taking place, and that will permit them to carry out the programme in its full duration.
