Ticgetz 10K Run Vizag

By registering for the Ticgetz 5k Run, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the following terms and conditions.

1. Registration and Eligibility

The event is open to participants of all ages and fitness levels. Participants under the age of 16 must be registered by a parent or legal guardian who accepts these terms on their behalf and must be accompanied by a registered adult on race day. Registration is confirmed only upon receipt of full payment. Each registration is for a single individual and is non-transferable unless explicitly approved by the organiser.

1. Fees, Refunds, and Cancellations

All registration fees must be paid in full at the time of booking. Registration fees are non-refundable, except in the event of cancellation by the organiser. If the organiser cancels the event for reasons within its control, registered participants will receive a full refund or the option to transfer their entry to a rescheduled date. No refunds will be issued for cancellations caused by force majeure events, including but not limited to severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics, government restrictions, or civil unrest. The organiser reserves the right to offer partial credit or deferral at its discretion.

1. Event Changes

The organiser reserves the right to modify the event date, start time, course route, venue, or format at any time due to safety concerns, logistical requirements, or circumstances beyond its control. Participants will be notified of material changes via the email address provided at registration. Such changes do not entitle participants to a refund.

1. Health, Fitness, and Assumption of Risk

Participation in the Ticgetz 5k Run involves physical exertion and inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strain, falls, dehydration, heatstroke, cardiac events, and contact with other participants. You confirm that you are physically fit and have no medical condition that would make participation unsafe. You are strongly encouraged to consult a physician before participating. You participate entirely at your own risk.

1. Waiver of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive and release the organiser, its sponsors, partners, volunteers, and affiliates from any and all claims, damages, losses, or liabilities arising from your participation in the event, including personal injury, illness, death, or loss of property, except where caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the organiser.

1. Medical Consent

By registering, you consent to receive first aid or emergency medical treatment from on-site medical personnel if deemed necessary during the event. You acknowledge that any costs for medical treatment or hospital transport beyond on-site first aid are your own responsibility.

1. Code of Conduct

All participants are expected to behave in a respectful and sportsmanlike manner towards fellow runners, volunteers, spectators, and event staff. The organiser reserves the right to disqualify and remove any participant who engages in abusive, threatening, or unsportsmanlike behaviour, tampers with the course, or violates any event rules, without refund.

1. Bib and Timing

Race bibs must be worn visibly on the front of your torso at all times during the event. Bibs are non-transferable. Any participant found running with another person's bib will be disqualified. Official times are recorded via electronic chip timing attached to or embedded in the bib. The organiser's recorded results are final.

1. Course Rules and Safety

Participants must follow the designated course route and obey all instructions from marshals, race officials, and safety personnel. The use of bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, or any wheeled device on the course is prohibited unless authorised by the organiser. Participants using headphones do so at their own risk and are encouraged to keep the volume low enough to hear marshal instructions.

1. Photography, Video, and Media

By participating, you grant the organiser and its authorised media partners a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide licence to use photographs, video footage, and audio recordings of you taken during the event for promotional, editorial, and commercial purposes, including on social media, websites, and print materials, without further consent or compensation.

1. Personal Data and Privacy

Your personal information will be collected and processed for the purposes of event registration, administration, communication, and results publication. Your name, age category, and finish time may be published in official results. Your data will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws and the organiser's privacy policy. Your information will not be sold to third parties but may be shared with timing partners, medical teams, and sponsors for event-related purposes only.

1. Personal Property

The organiser is not responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of personal belongings at the event venue, including items left at bag drop or cloakroom facilities. Participants are advised to avoid bringing valuables.

1. Insurance

The organiser carries public liability insurance for the event. However, participants are responsible for their own personal accident and health insurance. The organiser strongly recommends that all participants hold adequate personal insurance cover.

1. Force Majeure

The organiser shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to adverse weather, natural disasters, epidemics, government actions, terrorism, or infrastructure failure.
