Challenge Events Terms and Conditions

By applying for a place in a sporting event with BRACE Dementia Research (“BRACE”) you accept and agree to abide by the following terms:

The following provisions apply to all entrants participating in a sporting event to raise money for BRACE only:

Registration and Fundraising

  1. Event places and event registration fees purchased and booked through the BRACE website are non-refundable and non-transferable. The registration fee paid to BRACE at the point of purchased does not count towards your fundraising target.
  2. Obtaining places in sporting events often requires an investment from BRACE. By applying for a charity place in any sporting event with BRACE, you agree to meet the minimum sponsorship amount as specified on each BRACE event webpage.
  3. Gift Aid is in addition to the minimum sponsorship amount and cannot be counted towards it.
  4. All monies raised as part of your fundraising must be paid to BRACE within 6 weeks of the event date. If a deficit to the minimum sponsorship amount remains after this time, BRACE may work with you on a case-by-case basis to address the shortfall. BRACE may contact you and require you to pay the difference if no resolution is reached.
  5. All donations raised through fundraising on behalf of the individual must be paid directly to BRACE.

Event Organisation

  1. The event is not organised by BRACE, but by a third-party company who are responsible for the operation and management of the event. You must adhere to the rules outlined by the event organisers. BRACE’s liability for (1) cancellation of the sporting event and (2) any loss, damage or injury acquired as a result of taking part and/or as a result of cancellation of the sporting event is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  2. It is your responsibility to read, agree and accept any terms and conditions issued by the event organiser and to comply with these. Failure to do so may terminate your charity place with BRACE. BRACE reserves the right to revoke a charity place if terms are breached, subject to a review of the circumstances.
  3. By taking part in the event you do so at your own risk. Agreeing to these terms and conditions confirms you are aware of the nature of the event and the medical and physical risks involved with taking part. We recommend participants arrange their own insurance to cover potential injuries, losses, or other unforeseen circumstances. BRACE are not responsible for any injury or illness you may suffer before, during or after the event.

Withdrawals/Deferrals

  1. You can withdraw from your place in the sporting event at any point by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0117 414 4831. No withdrawal fee will be payable to BRACE, however we regret that we are unable to refund any registration payment or sponsorship that you may have raised for or paid to BRACE prior to your withdrawal.
  2. If you have purchased a charity place with BRACE but need to withdraw from the sporting event, BRACE will not defer your place to the following year.
  3. Failing to participate in any 3rd party event, for any reason, will not result in that entry being deferred to future races.

General

  1. Any images, videos, audio or quotes we collect from you in connection with your participation in or fundraising for the sporting event may be used by BRACE on social media, the BRACE or third-party websites and in future marketing materials or other publications.

  4. This includes but is not limited to harassment, bullying, discrimination, or other inappropriate conduct. BRACE reserves the right to remove participants who fail to adhere to these standards.
  5. We have strived to ensure that the information provided in relation to the sporting event is accurate at the time of publication, timely, unbiased and useful. However, no information provided by BRACE or any third parties should be treated as medical guidance or professional advice. We are not responsible for errors or omissions in the information provided nor any actions resulting from the use of such information, and BRACE makes no warranty of any kind, either express or implied, with respect to this information.
