General Conditions

Article 1: Definitions
1.1. In these standard terms and conditions, the following definitions apply:
a. Event: the CPC Run The Hague running event organised by SportMarketing Consultancy B.V. (Trade Register no. 24314794) in any given year.
b. Participant: the individual who has registered to participate in the Event in a manner permitted by the Organiser.
c. Agreement: the agreement covering participation by the Participant in the Event.
d. Organiser: the legal person with which the Participant enters into an Agreement.

1.2 These standard terms and conditions apply to every Agreement.

Article 2: Participation
2.1. Participation in the Event is open only to individuals who have reached the minimum age stipulated by the Organiser for the Event.

2.2 The Participant may participate in the Event only if he/she has filled in the required registration form fully and truthfully, if the registration fee has been paid in full, and if the participant has agreed to the standard terms and conditions.

2.3 The Participant shall participate in the Event in person. It is therefore not permissible for another person to participate in the Event instead of the Participant.

2.4 The Participant is not permitted to transfer his/her rights arising from the Agreement to a third party without the prior written approval of the Organiser.

2.5 If the Participant is unable to participate in the Event, the registration fee that has been paid will not be refunded. There will also be no refund of the registration fee in the event of a change in the distance for which the participant is registered. If a T-shirt that has been ordered and paid for is not collected on the day of the Event, all rights to that T-shirt will lapse. No other payments made on the basis of the Agreement will be refunded either.

2.6 The Organiser may decide that due to exceptional circumstances the Event will not go ahead. The Participant will then be given the opportunity to participate in the same edition of the Event on a substitute date. If the Organiser does not set a substitute date, the Participant will be given the opportunity to take part in a subsequent edition of the Event. There will be no refund of the registration fee in either case, not even if the Participant is unable to participate on the substitute date or on the date of the subsequent edition. If no substitute date is set and no subsequent edition is organised, the registration fee will be refunded subject to the deduction of an administration fee of 25%.

2.7 The Organiser is not liable for costs incurred by the Participant if the Event has to be cancelled for reasons of force majeure.

Article 3: Liability
3.1 Participation takes place at the Participants own risk. The Organiser is not liable for any loss, however it is described, that the Participant may incur as a consequence of Participation, unless that loss is the direct consequence of intent or gross culpability that is attributable to the Organiser. This exclusion of liability also applies to serious forms of loss, such as all possible kinds of loss resulting from injury or death.

3.2 If, despite the provision contained in the first paragraph of this article, the Organiser must be assumed to be liable for the losses of the Participant, the Organiser's obligation to compensate those losses will be limited to no more than the amount that the Organiser's insurer pays out in relation to those losses.

3.3 The Participant must be sufficiently insured against the risk of the losses that he/she or a surviving relative may incur as a result of his/her death, injury or sickness resulting from his/her participation in the Event.

3.4 The Participant declares that he/she is aware that participation requires good health, both mentally and physically, that he/she complies with this requirement and that he/she has prepared sufficiently for the Event by means of training and otherwise. The Organiser expressly urges the Participant to undergo a sport-medical examination in connection with participation in the Event.

3.5 The Participant indemnifies the Organiser against any losses that third parties may incur resulting from any act or omission attributable to the Participant in relation to the Event. The Participant must be sufficiently insured against the risk of liability for such losses.

3.6 Sponsors of the Event and the municipality or municipalities in the which the Event takes place are excluded from liability on the same basis as the Organiser.

Article 4: Portrait Right
The Participant grants consent to the Organiser in advance for the publication of photographs, images etc, taken/made during or in connection with the Event, in which the Participant is visible.

Article 5: Personal Data
The personal data provided by the Participant will be stored in a file by the Organiser. By entering into the Agreement the Participant grants consent to the Organiser for the use of the personal data to send information to the Participant and for the passing on of that personal data to third parties for the purpose of sending information to the Participant. The Participant may at any time object in writing or by e-mail to the sending of information by the Organiser or to the passing on of personal data, following which the Organiser will desist from sending or passing on the data. By entering into the Agreement the Participant grants consent to the Organiser for the publication of his/her name and competition results, for instance by means of publication in newspapers and on the internet.

Article 6: Resolution of Disputes
Disputes between the Organiser and the Participant shall, to the exclusion of the civil courts, be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the arbitration regulations of Atletiekunie (Dutch Athletic Federation) or, in the absence thereof, the regulations of the Dutch Arbitration Institute. A dispute shall be deemed to exist if one of the parties declares this to be the case.

Article 7: Competition Regulations
Participation in the Event by the Participant shall be governed by the Fortis City-Pier-City Run Competition Regulations, which form part of these standard terms and conditions, in the understanding that the provisions of i. to k. incl. apply only to participation in sections where times are recorded and the provisions of l. t/m n. incl. apply only to the Dutch Championchip Half Marathon section.

In the event of differences in translation or interpretation between the Dutch and the English version of this document, parties will be bound to the Dutch version which prevails.
