The RNLI is
very grateful to everyone who signs up to the Llandudno RNLI 5km and 1km. To protect the RNLIās good name and to protect those who support the
RNLI, you must agree to and comply with the following:
1. In these
terms and conditions references to an activity includes all types of
fundraising events and activities.
2. In
relation to events organised by the RNLI:
2.1. To
secure your place you must pay the registration fee by the date specified
unless the event is free;
2.2. All
participants must act responsibly and take care for their own safety and that
of those around them;
2.3. You
must not participate in the event whilst under the influence of alcohol or
drugs nor consume alcohol or drugs during the event;
2.4.
Photographs and films may be taken throughout each Event by the RNLI or its

interest as a lawful basis to use photographs and films featuring event
participants for marketing, publicity and fundraising purposes by means of
print, broadcast, social media or any other media now or in the future.
2.5. The
RNLI may request consent from a participant to feature in a specific media for
marketing, publicity or fundraising purposes. In the event the RNLI makes such
a request it will seek the consent from the Participant (or the Participant's
parent or guardian in the event the Participant is under 18) on a separate
consent form. The Participant may at its sole discretion choose to grant the
RNLI consent. It is not a condition of the Event that such consent is granted.
2.6. All
Participants and the parents or guardians of any under 18ās acknowledge and
agree that no payment will be made to any Participant for the use of any
photographs, images or films in which they may feature.
2.7. The
RNLIās use of the Participant's photograph and/or personal information
contained in a marketing feature will be in accordance with the RNLI's privacy
and cookies policy which can be found at
https://rnli.org/footer/privacy-and-security.
2.8. Please
note that participating in certain RNLI events may involve a real risk of
serious injury or even death from over exertion, dehydration, accidents with
other participants, spectators or road or sea users and other causes.
The
following provisions apply to all activities (whether organised by you, the
RNLI or someone else):
3. You:
3.1. Agree

any criteria published by the activity organiser (e.g. minimum age,
height/weight or health restrictions etc.) and agree to comply with any safety
guidelines or other activity rules;
3.2. Accept
that the onus is on you to ascertain whether there are any risks associated
with you taking part in the activity and confirm that you are not aware of, or
have disclosed when prompted, any medical condition or impairment that may be
detrimental to your health if you participate in the activity. If you become
aware of any such medical condition or impairment you will withdraw from the
activity. If you are in any doubt as to your physical ability to take part in
the activity you must consult your doctor before arranging to take part;
3.3. Accept

agents liable for any loss, injury, damage or costs that may result from the
activity or your participation in it caused in any way, save death or personal
injury due to the negligence of the RNLI or fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation by the RNLI. We recommend that you obtain personal accident
insurance cover for any activity involving risk of injury.
4. If a
claim is made against the RNLI in relation to the activity (except where the
activity has been organised by the RNLI) or arising out of any breach by you of
these terms and conditions, you agree to reimburse the RNLI for any sums which
the RNLI pays as a result of that claim including, but not limited to, any
associated legal or other costs and expenses.
5. You agree

paid by you to the RNLI or to offer you a place for an alternative activity.
Any refund will be made via the original method of payment and will be
processed within 30 days of request by you for a refund. Where an activity
organised by a third party is cancelled for any reason, the RNLI is unable to
offer a refund or alternative activity.
7. You must
only use any sponsorship forms, posters, banners, leaflets, badges or other
RNLI materials provided to you by the RNLI (whether in hard copy or electronic
form) (āRNLI Materialsā) in connection with the specific activities which you

you to raise money in aid of the RNLI (āNotified Activitiesā). You must not use
any RNLI Materials in connection with any other activities without first
obtaining the RNLIās written approval.
8. The RNLI
provides pre-designed fundraising materials for you to fill in with your
activity details and use to promote your activity. You must not use the RNLI

beach lifeguard units (āRNLI Imagesā) on materials created by you without the
RNLI's prior approval (see - Request to use RNLI Trade Marks or RNLI Images in
fundraising materials).
9. You
agree:
9.1. To
comply with any guidance issued to you by the RNLI or made available on its

have made this clear to sponsors and other donors before asking them to sponsor
you/make a donation/buy a ticket etc.

promote fundraising in aid of the RNLI.
11. You
agree that you will not do anything to harm the RNLIās good name and
reputation.

you must not use the RNLI Trade Marks, RNLI Materials nor RNLI Images on or in
relation to any of your products or services or on the packaging, advertising
or promotional materials for your business, products or services nor as part of
any domain name.

of the RNLI Materials.
14. Please

event you have applied for and not authorised to fundraise in aid of the RNLI,
until we have emailed or written to you to say that your application has been
accepted. In some cases, we may first have to request further information

15. These
terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of England and Wales and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the English Courts.
