Terms and Conditions
Organising an event requires a considerable amount of forward planning, time, risk and expense. Approximately 9 - 12 months prior to our events taking place, work begins and costs are incurred. These include administrative, insurance, advertising, marketing, equipment, website and staff costs. As an event draws nearer, we continue to incur costs, many in relation to the number of entrants in the event.Whilst we are investing into the cost of staging our events, there is no guarantee of their success, making financial planning an integral part of event management and promotion. For this reason our ‘Terms and Conditions’ are here to ensure we are able to provide athletes with continued safe and enjoyable events.
Conditions of Entry
By entering a Kandoo event applicants agree to abide by our terms and conditions as listed below.
Competitor Withdrawal
With most events (sports, cinema, theatre, concerts, etc), if after paying for them you have to withdraw, you will not receive a refund, regardless of the reason (injury, pregnancy, holiday, business / work, etc). However, if you do need to withdraw from any Kandoo Events and provided we get enough notice, we are prepared to give you an element of your entry fee back, providing you follow our withdrawals policy: You must notify Kandoo Events in writing by post/email.
