1. Entry
Each team fee paid registers one team slot for the Event.
By registering a team for the Event, you are agreeing to enter the Event and also agree to abide by the Terms & Conditions for TEAM ENTRY and any instructions given to you by the Organisers and officials of the Event.
You are responsible for recruiting the six players for your team. The Organisers recommend having one or two reserve players ready in case needed to make up a full team on the night. Teams of more than six players will not be permitted. Due to the nature of the puzzles, teams with five or fewer players will have their experience significantly impacted – but will be permitted to play.
All team players will have to register separately and agree to separate Player Terms & Conditions that pertain to their participation.
The entry fee is non-refundable unless the Event venue, time and/or date is changed in a material way, or if the Event is cancelled altogether (subject to paragraph 3 below).
The Charity asks that you let them know as soon as possible if you need or want to withdraw your team from the Event for any reason.
2. Fundraising
The Event is in aid of the Charity and any fundraising that takes place is arranged directly with the Charity. This may include communication with you that encourages participation and raising funds.
The Charity will handle all payments from the teams; both team fees and donations.
To help support the work of the Charity, each team is asked to raise at least £22,000.
Companies can choose to cover their donation from a single or multiple sources (including, but not limited to, corporate foundations, individual backers, the business itself and sponsorship from people connected to the players).
The Hall of Heroes fundraising page tracks all participating team donations in a dashboard format. Taking part in the Hall of Heroes is optional.
By agreeing to take part in the Hall of Heroes fundraising page, your company name and totals raised will be published online. Donors to your page will be asked separately if they consent to their names being published.
3. Cancellation by us
The Organisers may cancel the Event if circumstances beyond our reasonable control arise, including, without limitation, war, civil or political unrest, terrorism or inclement weather conditions or pandemics.
In such circumstances the Organisers and Charity will use reasonable endeavours to provide suitable methods of notice including email, mobile phone, and text message.
If the circumstances leading to cancellation are covered by the Organiser’s cancellation insurance, your Team Fee will be refunded.
If the circumstance leading to cancellation is not covered by the Organiser’s cancellation insurance, your fee will not be refunded. However, if it is possible to reschedule the event to a later date or transfer your entry to the following year this will be done at no extra cost.
In the event of cancellation of the Event neither the Organisers or Charity will have responsibility for any costs incurred as a result of cancellation, including travel or accommodation costs. In addition, no refunds will be issued, and registration fees will be considered a donation to Raise Your Hands unless otherwise stated.
4. Privacy and Data protection
The Charity will gather Personal Data in order to promote and administer entry to the Event.
Please read The Charity’s Privacy Policy carefully to understand the Charity’s practices regarding Personal Data and how it will treat it. You agree that the Charity may share relevant Personal Data with the Organiser for purposes of the Event administration.

6. Liability
All participants attend and enter the Event entirely at their own risk.
In no event shall the Organisers or Charity be liable to you whether for breach of contract, any tortious act or omission (including negligence) or otherwise, under or in connection with the Terms & Conditions for TEAM ENTRY for any:
– Injury or death;
– loss or damage to persons or their property;

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause shall limit the Organiser’s or Charity’s liability for any other liability that cannot be restricted or excluded by law.
