‘Brutal10’ is a brand owned by All About Triathlons Limited (Co. No.6363644) whose registered office is at 26 Hillview Crescent, Guilfdord, Surrey GU22 8BQ but whose address for general correspondence is Collaborate, Steward House, 14 Commercial Way, Woking, Surrey GU21 6ET acts in some cases on its own behalf and in others as an authorised agent for and on behalf of relevant event organisers.

In the circumstances any contract for the supply of an event is between you and the relevant organiser, whose details are set out on the relevant entry form.

These booking conditions are in addition to any terms and conditions imposed by the relevant event organiser and any rules and regulations governing participation in any event.

Personal health and fitness
By entering an event you shall be deemed to acknowledge and understand that participation in the relevant event is potentially hazardous, and you should not enter and participate unless you are medically able, properly trained and have appropriate equipment. Please be aware that a number of events are of a “cross country” or “off road” nature and so there are additional risks that are not common to usual triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon and runs.
You should consult your doctor prior to undertaking training for an event. It is your responsibility to make sure you are medically fit and capable of participating in the booked event. The event organiser reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to stop any participant from taking part if the individual is deemed unfit to participate, including mid-event removal where necessary.

Existing medical conditions
It is your responsibility to advise the event officials prior to the start of the event of any pre-existing medical condition, disability, relevant medications being taken and allergies that may be relevant in the administration of any medical assistance required or in your ability to take part in the event.
In particular you are advised that you should not participate in an event if suffering any cold or flu-like systems or if you have any other existing illness or injury which might reasonably be expected to affect your performance and your ability to complete the event..

Mountain bike and running events or events including a bike/run element

Mountain bike and running routes in events often follow a course over rough and undulating terrain. You are responsible for ensuring that your bike has been properly maintained and is of sufficient quality to deal with such terrain.
Route used may also be used by dog walkers, dogs, horse riders and marshals on quad bikes.
Participants should expect to encounter and should take extreme care when encountering livestock, steep drop offs, uphill sections, roots, mud, rocks, obstacles, fellow participants, dog walkers, dogs, horse riders and marshals on quad bikes.
Participants must adhere to the course markers and to any warning signs on the route at all times.
Save to the extent caused by negligence on the part of the event organiser, participants will be entirely responsible for any injury sustained (whether to themselves or others) as a result of any reckless cycling or running, failure to take proper care or pay proper attention or failure to adhere to warning signs or instructions.

Participants and Spectators
Event organisers will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the safety of participants and spectators. Course markers are in place to guide participants and to separate participants from spectators. An ambulance and crew will also usually be in place for both participants and spectators.
Parents of spectating children and adults charged with the supervision of spectating children must ensure their children are supervised at all times. If spectators choose to bring their pets, the pets must be kept under control at all times. Spectators and participants should adhere to the course markers and obey instructions of the marshals.

Medical treatment while participating in an event
By entering an event, you are confirming that should you require any medical treatment during your attendance at the event, whether before, during or after the actual event, such treatment may be administered by the events’ official personnel.

Entry
If you are provided with a race number this must not under any circumstances be given to anyone else without informing the relevant event director. Amongst other potential problems, doing so may cause problems of identification for the event medical services in the case of any accident or injury. Any attempt to do so will result in immediate disqualification of the individual(s) concerned and ejection from the event.

Outfits
Anyone attempting to start or join an event in any outfit that the event marshals deem unsuitable and/or dangerous to yourself, other participants or spectators, will not be allowed to start the event or, if on the course, may be forcibly removed from the event.

Music while participating in an event
For health and safety reasons you must not participate in the event whilst listening to any personal music playing device. This is particularly important in order to allow emergency services and their vehicles to operate safely on the day which they may not be able to do if you are unable to hear what is happening around you throughout the event. Consequently iPods, MP3 Players or similar electronic music players must not be worn.

Event Ejection
Event officials have the right, in their absolute discretion, to refuse to allow you to participate in the event either at the start or to continue participation at any point along the route of the event, should you be deemed to behave inappropriately or give cause for concern that your continued participation may cause offence or injury to yourself, any spectators or other participants. Failure to comply with any instruction from event officials and marshals will result in ejection from the event and may also result in you being reported to the police.

Cancellation of the event
The event organiser reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to cancel, delay or postpone the event due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances out of its reasonable control. In such cases it will endeavour to inform participants as quickly as is possible. Where the event has to be cancelled, delayed or postponed due to circumstances outside of its reasonable control (including for the avoidance of doubt due to adverse weather, water or ground conditions or as a result of instructions from the emergency services) neither we nor the event organiser shall be liable for any inconvenience, expenses, costs, losses or damages suffered by participants. Where the event has to be cancelled, delayed or postponed due to circumstances that were within the event organisers reasonable control, its and our entire liability in respect of any inconvenience, expenses, costs, losses or damages suffered by you as a result will be limited to the entry price you have paid to take part in the event.

Cancellation of Bookings, Transfers and Refunds
If you wish to cancel your booking and provide us with not less than 3 months prior written notice then you will be entitled to a refund of 50% of the price of your booking excluding any transaction costs. Alternatively your place on the event can be transferred at any time up to one week before the date of the event to another person subject to us receiving a transfer form duly completed with full details of the proposed transferee together with confirmation that the proposed transferee accepts these Booking Conditions and Regulations.
