The boring, yet necessary, stuff. This is essentially a waiver, ensuring you understand the risk of joining us.
Please read and agree to the following 'Participant Acknowledgment and Release' agreement to continue with your sign up:
By participating in any Elgon Empowerment fundraising event, including the "80km for Elgon" challenge and the Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) climb, all participants acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
Voluntary Participation & Assumption of Risk: Participation in these events is entirely voluntary. Participants understand that physical challenges, especially outdoor activities like mountain climbing, inherently involve risks, including but not limited to those associated with personal health, fitness levels, unforeseen medical emergencies, and variable weather conditions. Participants assume all risks associated with their participation, including the risk of injury, illness, or inability to complete the event.
No Guarantee of Completion: Elgon Empowerment and its event organisers do not guarantee that any participant will be able to complete the chosen event. Factors such as individual health, fitness, preparation, and prevailing weather conditions are beyond the control of the organisers and may necessitate a participant's withdrawal or an event's curtailment.
No Cost Reimbursement: In the event a participant is unable to finish the "80km for Elgon" challenge or the Mount Snowdon climb, whether due to health reasons, adverse weather conditions, personal choice, or any other cause, Elgon Empowerment and its event organisers shall not be liable for, nor obliged to provide, any refunds of any fees, sponsorship funds collected (which remain dedicated to the charity's mission), or reimbursement for any costs incurred by the participant (e.g., travel, accommodation, equipment, medical expenses, lost earnings).
Organiser Discretion: Elgon Empowerment and its event organisers reserve the right to modify, postpone, or cancel events, or to withdraw a participant from an event, at their sole discretion, particularly in situations involving participant safety or extreme weather. Such decisions will be made with the safety and well-being of all participants as the paramount concern.
Fundraising Commitment: Funds raised by participants are considered donations to Elgon Empowerment's charitable objectives. By participating, individuals commit to their fundraising efforts in support of the charity's mission, irrespective of their ability to complete the physical challenge.
By proceeding with registration or participation, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.
