1. Disclaimer: I agree that I am taking part in this event ("Event") at my own risk and that Terrence Higgins Trust shall not be held liable for any accident, injury, loss or damage incurred as a result of my participation in the Event, unless such accident, injury, loss or damage is caused by the negligence of Terrence Higgins Trust.

If I am unsure about whether I am physically able to participate then I will obtain medical advice prior to the Event. I agree that if I need to drop out of the Event I will let Terrence Higgins Trust know as soon as possible.

4. Entry: I agree to pay the registration fee for the Event, which, subject to completing the registration process and subject to clause 5 below, will secure my place in the Terrence Higgins Trust team and which is non-refundable or transferable. The £100 registration fee for the TCS London Marathon must be paid within 2 weeks of receiving our offer email or Terrence Higgins Trust reserve the right to offer the place to someone else. On payment of the registration fee, Terrence Higgins Trust will advise me about the registration process for the Event. I agree that I must complete the registration process with the event organisers in order to secure my place. I also agree that I must comply with all conditions of the Event as set out by the Event organiser. If the Event is cancelled or postponed, I understand that Terrence Higgins Trust will do everything they can to transfer my place to the following year. However I acknowledge that this may not always be possible, and a that a place is not guaranteed. Please advise us if you move address, change contact number of email address after you have registered with for an Event.
5. Sponsorship: I agree that acceptance of my place in the Terrence Higgins Trust team confirms my commitment to raise as much money as possible over the minimum pledge target for Terrence Higgins Trust by my participation in the Event. Each charity place in a challenge event costs the Trust money, so we ask that you have a realistic plan of how you will reach the fundraising target before you accept the place. If you don’t raise the total amount, this may restrict you from being given a charity place for any event in the future. I further agree that I will start fundraising using an online fundraising platform for the Terrence Higgins Trust not less than two months before the Event date (four months for the TCS London Marathon) and that if I fail to do so the Terrence Higgins Trust may cancel my participation in the Event. For the TCS London Marathon, we ask that you raise a minimum of £500 three months before the date of the event, a minimum of £1,000 within a month before the event and £2,030 by a month after the event. Terrence Higgins Trust retains full control over its charity places in events and may withdraw your place at any time if necessary. For example, if fundraising milestones are not met, if you fail to respond to our communications, or if we learn of unlawful or unethical fundraising method. We will inform you of our concerns and attempt to resolve the situation where possible.
I understand that the pledge target does not include Gift Aid and I agree to encourage my sponsors to Gift Aid their sponsorship (which will incur no extra cost to them). I agree that I will not bring Terrence Higgins Trust’s name into disrepute and that I will fundraise responsibly and legally. If I have to pull out of the Event for any reason (including injury) I agree that I will submit all sponsorship raised by then to Terrence Higgins Trust, subject to informing my donors that I am no longer participating in the Event and that they may, if they wish, have their sponsorship money returned to them.
6. Payments to Terrence Higgins Trust: All funds raised via my online sponsorship page will be transferred to Terrence Higgins Trust automatically. I will pay any offline sponsorship via cheque made payable to ‘Terrence Higgins Trust’, or bank transfer or by using a paying-in slip, available from Terrence Higgins Trust, at my local NatWest. I will forward all outstanding donations to Terrence Higgins Trust no later than four weeks after the date of the Event. If I require any further information about transferring my offline sponsorship I will email the fundraising team at [email protected].
7. I agree that I will comply with any instructions or guidance provided by Terrence Higgins Trust relating to my fundraising activities in connection with the Event and to my participation in the Event, but I acknowledge that I remain responsible for organising and carrying out my fundraising activities in connection with the Event and my participation in the Event.
8. I acknowledge and accept that Terrence Higgins Trust’s insurance policies do not cover my participation in the Event.
9. I will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the Event.
10. I will not do anything that may damage Terrence Higgins Trust's reputation or name. I agree that, in the event that Terrence Higgins Trust reasonably believes that my participation in the Event may damage Terrence Higgins Trust’s name or reputation, I will withdraw from the Event immediately at the request THT.
