Double Dash Terms and Conditions

By registering for RNIB Double Dash 2019 you are agreeing to the below terms and conditions.

2. You acknowledge the £20 entry fee you have paid is non-refundable and cannot be used towards your sponsorship pledge.

3. You acknowledge this is a fundraising event and you and your Double dash buddy commit to raise the minimum sponsorship pledge of £190, excluding any Gift Aid or employer match giving.

4. When fundraising, you will act lawfully and follow the fundraising guidelines given by the RNIB. You must make it clear you are fundraising in ‘aid of RNIB’ and are not representing on behalf of RNIB. You must not do anything that may harm the reputation of RNIB or act in a manner contrary to our values.

5. For any independent fundraising events that you carry out to raise funds, (e.g. cake sale, pub quiz etc.) you acknowledge that you are carrying such events out in your own capacity. It's your responsibility to organise all aspects of such event and make it clear that such event is run by you "in aid of" RNIB and is not run by RNIB. You also agree to make it clear that such event is not "on behalf of RNIB" and that RNIB will not accept any responsibility or liability for such event. If you wish to use RNIB's logo, please contact the RNIB challenge events team who can provide an "in aid of" logo.

6. You agree to secure a license from the relevant local authority before collecting funds on the street or in a public place. You acknowledge you are responsible for obtaining any such license and this is not the responsibility of RNIB.

9. When fundraising, you will make your donors aware that a proportion of the money you raise will go towards paying for your place in the event. (RNIB carefully budget to ensure that as long as you meet or exceed your pledge, we will make a profit on your participation in the event. However it is critical you make your donors aware of this).

10. If you have to withdraw prior to the event, you must notify RNIB immediately. This means we can re-allocate your place to someone else. Any money raised will be retained as a donation towards RNIB. If you wish to refund your donors in this instance, you must ask your individual donors to make a written request to RNIB, as they will need to be refunded directly.
