RideLondon 2024

Ride London – Essex TOFS Terms and Conditions

1. You confirm that the information on this form is complete and correct, and that you will be 18 years of age or older on 26 May 2024.
2. You recognise that TOFS will retain for a reasonable period the information that you supply by applying on this form, whether you are selected for a TOFS place or not.
3. You recognise that you apply and (if selected by TOFS) ride the event at your own risk in accordance with standard Ride London regulations and conditions, in addition to these TOFS terms and conditions.
4. You confirm that, so far as you are aware, you have no medical or health issues which would mean that it would be unsafe or unwise for you to train for and ride the event.
5. You confirm that (if selected for a TOFS place) you shall diligently undertake the cycling training that is appropriate as preparation for a cycle ride such as the Ride London in the months preceding the event.
6. Should you be accepted to ride for TOFS using a TOFS place, you agree to pay a registration fee of £25 to TOFS. This is to cover some administration costs, and TOFS will ask for a prompt payment. The fee will count towards your fund-raising pledge. If the fee transaction is unsuccessful within 21 days of you being notified of your selection, TOFS may select another person in your place.
7. You confirm that you shall (if allocated a TOFS place) make diligent efforts to contact donors and sponsors and set up fundraising mechanisms, so as to raise at least the amount you have suggested for TOFS and that TOFS shall be the only charity for which you raise funds in this event. You must show at least one month before the ride that your fundraising has commenced for instance by setting up a fundraising webpage and receiving at least an initial donation. TOFS strongly recommends the use of Peoples Fundraising.
8. If allocated a TOFS place, you are pledging to raise your suggested amount for TOFS and agreeing to make up any shortfall yourself or via your own further fundraising efforts to the required minimum, to be received by TOFS by the 31st July 2024.
9. All applications to TOFS are subject to a selection process to ensure that TOFS places are used to best possible fundraising effect commensurat1e with safety for all concerned, at the sole discretion of TOFS. TOFS will wish to give preference in the selection process to riders who are TOFS members or otherwise have a clear connection with the OA/TOF condition: however, TOFS is not obliged to do so.
10. If allocated a TOFS place, you agree to inform TOFS as soon as possible in writing, preferably by email, should you become unable to take part in the 2024 Ride London for any reason. Once this is acknowledged by TOFS, your minimum sponsorship obligation will cease. You understand that, should you so withdraw from your place, the TOFS registration fee is non-refundable and will be retained by TOFS to cover expenses.
11. You agree that, should you withdraw from your TOFS place, you will co-operate and correspond with TOFS and the Ride London organisers such that another rider chosen by TOFS can take your 2023 place. At the discretion of TOFS, and subject to some conditions, you may be re-offered a TOFS place in 2025.
12. If you have been allocated a TOFS place but are unable to participate in or complete the Ride London for any reason, all donated monies collected by you or donated via third parties (such as fundraising websites) in support of TOFS must be forwarded to TOFS. Money which has been pledged to you on condition of your completing the event must be returned to the individual sponsors or donated to TOFS if those sponsors are happy to do so. Monies already received by TOFS will not be refunded.
13. If allocated a TOFS place, you agree that images taken on the day of the event may be used by TOFS to help promote our fundraising efforts.
14. You understand that, if allocated a TOFS place, you will be required to also complete in full (and online) the Official Ride London registration process before cut-off dates yet to be announced and to confirm to TOFS as soon as you have done so. As this will be done via the organisers’ website, you understand you will need to have internet access and access to an email address before this date.
15. You understand that you will need to make your own arrangements at your own expense to get to the start line and return from the finish point.
16. By returning this form to TOFS you accept and agree to the terms and conditions listed above.
