Third party events terms and conditions
Marie Curie Third Party Events Terms and Conditions
Thank you for joining #TeamMarieCurie!
As someone taking part in a fundraising activity in support of Marie Curie, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
Safety, fitness and injury:
- Before registering for this event, please make sure you feel able to take part health-wise; we recommend checking in with a doctor if you’re not certain. If you have any medical conditions that might affect your taking part, or if something crops up after you’ve signed up, let the event organisers know so they can find the best way to assist you.
- Your safety is of absolute importance to us. Make sure you follow all safety instructions and training procedures when taking part in events.
- Marie Curie, its employees, agents and volunteers can accept no liability to people taking part or those cheering you on when it comes to any loss, damage or personal injury occurring during your event. This excludes any personal injury (including death) caused by our negligence. Something else to bear in mind is that we can’t accept responsibility for any damage, injury or loss that might occur through your own negligence.
- Please be sure to read any terms and conditions issued by the event organisers and make sure to abide by all the advice to ensure you enjoy a safe and fun event.
Age:
- For some events, a minimum age for participation is in place. Please refer to the event organiser’s guidance on this.
- For all events, anyone taking part under 18 years old will need parental consent. It’s up to parents and guardians to decide if the event is appropriate for their child; feel free to contact the event organiser for more information if you’re not sure.
- We do reserve the right to stop people from taking part in an event if someone under 18 is not able to show they have consent from their parents or guardian.
Registration and fundraising:
- Registration fees are non-refundable
- Those who are taking part for Marie Curie through a guaranteed charity place must agree to raise at least the minimum fundraising target for your event. You have until six weeks after the event day to gather those last-minute donations and to reach your target. If you’re not sure what your minimum fundraising target is, check the Marie Curie events pages or contact fundraising@mariecurie.org.uk
- As a Marie Curie supporter, you must ensure you are fundraising legally and safely. You can find guidance on this in your welcome pack and on our website: www.mariecurie.org.uk/get-involved/fundraise/fundraising-made-simple
- Unfortunately, we can’t include the amount raised through Gift Aid when figuring out whether you’ve reached your minimum fundraising target. However, this money is still very important to the charity and the people we help, so we hope you will encourage your supporters to Gift Aid their donations where possible. Please get in touch if you’d like more information about Gift Aid.
- Deferrals: If you let us know that you need to withdraw from an event before the registration deadline and wish to defer/rollover your place, this information may be useful:
- If the event organiser’s policy allows, you can roll your event place over to the same event the following year, depending if they have spaces.
- You can only rollover/defer your place once.
- Any money you may have raised can also be rolled over to count for your fundraising total next time, but you may need to pay a registration fee for the next year’s event on top of that.
Images and audio:
- Any photos, video, audio or quotes taken by us on the event day may be used by Marie Curie to inspire future fundraisers and promote our events. If you don’t want to be in any photos or videos or to be quoted in any way, that’s absolutely fine, just let the Marie Curie team know by emailing fundraising@mariecurie.org.uk
