TERMS & CONDITIONS
The below Terms & Conditions applies to all the
charity's advertised events, its participants, donors and/or applicants.
Please note that there are additional T&Cs, other than
the below, which applies specifically to the Virgin Money London Marathon and
the New York City Marathon. For the Virgin Money London Marathon and the New
York City Marathon additional T&Cs please see the relevant application form
or booking form.
As a participant/applicant I agree, accept and understand the
following: Entry Fees, Registration Fees and donations given to the charity are
not refundable.
A guaranteed entry means that the entry is an official event
entry it does not mean that the entry is guaranteed to be allocated, by the
charity, to a participant/s and/or applicant/s. Get Kids Going! reserves the
right to allocate its event entries to participants and/or applicants as it so
wishes.
If the charity has
subsidised a participant’s entry fee for an event and the participant has been
entered into the event and they have received confirmation of this. If then,
after the entry deadline, the participant informs the charity that they are no
longer able to participate in the event for whatever reason and the participant
has not fundraised or given a donation/s to the charity equivalent to the full
cost of their entry amount, the charity reserves the right to take the balance
of the entry fee cost, which the charity has already paid, from the
participant’s credit/debit card. This is to prevent the charity from
being in debt from such circumstances.
The charity reserves the right to advertise any of its
events or supply information etc., either on line or off line, for as long as
it requires and/or to include or exclude specific text, dates etc. within its advertisements,
for as long as it requires so long as the advertisement, information and/or
text given is legal. Please note information on the charity's website is
subject to change at any time.
The charity will, naturally, endeavour to keep any dates, information
etc. advertised up to date, as much as possible, but it should be noted that
the charity cannot guarantee that any/or all of the information it gives,
either on line or off line, will be up to date and/or relevant at the time of
advertising.
Donations kindly given to the charity cannot, under any
circumstances, be refunded or returned either to a participant/s and/or a
donor/s.

participant/s and/or applicant/s who decides to book any travel and/or
accommodation etc. without having received written confirmation from the
charity that the participant/s and/or applicant/s is entered for the event or
has been allocated one of the charity's entries into the event. This also
applies to all non-participant/s connected, in any way, to the participant/s
and/or applicant/s.
The charity reserves the right to request that any overseas
participant and/or applicant (ie. any person living or working outside the UK)
gives their; entry fee, registration fee and/or kind donation/s (in full) to
the charity before the charity agrees to allocate the participant and/or
applicant one of its event entry places.
All participants agree and accept the terms and conditions
of entry and agree that the event organisers, and/or Get Kids Going! shall not

fundraising target/s or taking part in the event.
The charity asks all its accepted participants to kindly
keep the charity updated regarding their fundraising and training progress on
at least a monthly basis, or less if possible, starting from the time the
charity confirms the participant's entry into the event.

participant's entry into the event if it considers that the participant is
failing to meet the charity's minimum fundraising target (if the charity has
set a fundraising target) within the charity's timeframe - i.e. to have donated
or sent all kind donations to the charity within one month after the event day
or before. This excludes entry fees, registration fees and gift aid.
The charity will endeavour to, by its best ability and
working with the information given by the participant, make contact, by email
and telephone, with a participant if it has any concerns about the
participant's fundraising progress prior to withdrawing a participant's entry
from the event.

the event only in aid of Get Kids Going! and when accepted on the Get Kids

and/or applicant/s if the participant/s and/or applicant/s participates or

charity if they intend to use one of the charity's entries to participate in an
event for another charity or organisation other than Get Kids Going!.
