Terms and Conditions of Entry

Parties

The following Terms and Conditions relate to the event listed within the appendix and are organised and promoted by Lincoln Tri Club.

Terms

The above-named organisation from this point forward will be referred to as 'The Promoter'. All applicants both prospective and successful from this point forward will be referred to as 'The Applicant'.

From the moment that the above Promoter starts to organise an event, there is a considerable amount of work, expense and risk. Each event takes many hundreds of hours of forward planning, thousands of pounds of expense, as well as financial risk.

As with all companies incurring overheads such as premises, staff, marketing, equipment, insurance, websites, etc, financial planning is an integral part of event management and promotion. As such we endeavor to ensure that we can cover unexpected ‘on costs’ so as to provide a secure footing for all events promoted. The following 'Terms & Conditions' are set in place to ensure that we continue to provide applicants with safe and enjoyable events, year on year.

1: Conditions of Entry

By entering any events as made available on the www.lincolntri.co.uk website, applicants are agreeing to abide by the following Terms & Conditions' as outlined below.

Cashing of an applicant’s cheque or satisfactory completion of a transaction through the online payment system confirms the applicant’s place in the event.

Please note that details of the event as published on race specific entry forms, provisional race information or FAQ’s are subject to change.

The promoter will hold your race credit details for up to 12 months.

Please note that credits are not transferable between applicants.

6: Attempted Swapping of Entries

Please note that the swapping of entries between applicants is strictly forbidden as it invalidates insurances undertaken by the Promoter to cover the event. The consequences of attempting such an undertaking by any applicant is so serious in jeopardising the continuation of events that any applicant found to have passed their entry to another applicant and any applicant found to have taken up that entry will both be banned for life from all future events organised by the Promoter.

7: Transfer of Entry and Deferral

Under no circumstances are applicants permitted to transfer their entry to either another event, to another individual or defer their entry to the following season.
