Definitions;

A) Shitbox Rally Director means James Freeman or as otherwise advised

B) “Shitbox Rally Organisers” includes the organisers, directors and sponsors of the Rally and the Cancer Council

1. The Shitbox Rally Director’s decisions are final.  If you don’t like it, organise your own rally.

2. The Shitbox Rally Director may vary the route of the Shitbox Rally at any time.  Don’t fret too much about this one, this is usually if there is a road closure due to weather or something similar.  We do the rally with you and want it to be as much fun as we can, so we will always do our best to keep things interesting.

3. If you pull out of the rally before starting or during, are removed from the rally, breakdown and cannot continue or generally go AWOL we retain all of the fundraising that you have collected and your registration money.  You do not get any refunds and this is non transferable.

4. Entry to the Shitbox Rally is at least $4,275 (can increase depending on the number of participants in each team due to the $275 registration fee per person).  Each participant agrees that this will be distributed as follows,

• Up to 58.5% of the initial $4,000 is used to cover event organising costs (including $1,000 for the car and $500 for fuel) with the remaining going to Cancer Council.

• For all funds raised over $4,000 the Cancer Council receives at least 66.5% of funds raised.

• The percentages going to Cancer Council may increase if the full $1,000 for the car is not needed and/or the car sells in the auction which adds to the total funds raised for the team and other budgeted costs can be reduced or avoided. The percentage that is donated to Cancer Council is based on the minimum fundraising goals and maximum budgeted costs.

5. You agree that you are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with participating in the Shitbox Rally including but not limited to costs or expenses associated with accommodation, food, repairs to the vehicle, transport or personal expenses.

6. The Shitbox Rally starts from the allotted departure time from the departure city.   You will be responsible for ensuring that you are present for the commencement of the Shitbox Rally as directed and any services provided by the Shitbox Rally Organisers do not commence until the Shitbx Rally departs.

7. The Shitbox Rally Organisers hope everyone has a safe journey from our departure city to our destination and home again. It is going to be a great trip. However, there are a number of risks inherent in the Shitbox Rally.  These risks arise from a number of features of the rally but include the nature of the activity, the roads travelled upon, the distances you will be driving and the accommodation.

8. By commencing the Shitbox Rally, you acknowledge and agree that you have been informed of these risks, you have considered and accepted these risks and that you are participating freely in the Shitbox Rally. You further acknowledge that these terms operate so as to exclude, to the fullest extent possible at law, the liability of the Shitbox Rally Organisers in negligence or for breach of contract that might otherwise arise in respect of any acts, occurrences, events or omissions during the course of the Shitbox Rally.

9. You acknowledge and agree that the Shitbox Rally Organisers will not be liable to you for any loss, damage or injury sustained by or to you or your property howsoever arising, including but not limited to, by reason of their negligence, breach of contract or statutory breach.

10. By signing up to the Shitbox Rally you hereby assign to the Shitbox Rally Organisers, NSW Cancer Council, ICON International Communications and Broken Yellow (Shitbox Rally’s official production company), the right to the videotape and sound recordings made of you during, before and after the Shitbox Rally.  You hereby authorise the reproduction, sale, copyright, exhibition, broadcast and/or distribution of said photography, videotape, DVD or electronic files without limitation.  You agree that the Shitbox Rally Organisers, NSW Cancer Council, ICON International Communications or Broken Yellow may use any or all of your name, voice, likeness, acts and statements for the video footage of the Shitbox Rally; as well as my name and likeness for advertising and promotion purposes in connection with the Shitbox Rally; and the sponsors thereof, these rights include the duplication and/or broadcast for public relations, editorial, news and all other purposes.

11. Each participant must sign the “Broken Yellow Release Form” assigning to Broken Yellow, the Shitbox Rally official production company, the right film and capture sound recordings made of the participant during, before and after the Shitbox Rally.

12. You agree that you are responsible for the vehicle you drive in the Shitbox Rally, including any damage to the vehicle or damage caused by the vehicle to any property or person.   You agree that the Shitbox Rally Organisers are not liable for any damage or injury caused to or by your vehicle during the course of the Shitbox Rally and you fully indemnify the Shitbox Rally Organisers for any loss, cost, expense, liability or damage suffered or incurred by any of the Shitbox Rally Organisers as a result of any damage or injury caused to or by the vehicle.

13. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for any claims, demands, causes of action, prosecutions or proceedings against you arising from any acts, events, occurrences or omissions during the Shitbox Rally and you indemnify each of the Shitbox Rally Organisers for any cost, expense, loss, liability or damage suffered or incurred by the Shitbox Rally Organisers in respect of any such claim, demand, cause of action, prosecution or proceeding.

14. Cars – your budget is up to $1,000.  This includes registration and roadworthiness.  If you buy a wreck and do it up the costs for parts is included in your $1,000.  If you do the work yourself, this is not included in the $1,000 i.e. you cannot pay yourself.  If you are not mechanically minded or confident enough you can get a mechanic to work on it for you, but their costs are included in the $1,000 total.  Simply put – anything that costs money (other than safety items such as a spare tyre) is included in the $1,000.  If your car is donated to you and any repairs on it are less than $1000 you are ok unless the car that has been donated is actually worth more.  We will have a group of judges that know a thing or two about cars who will look your car over and decide if it is worth under $1000, if it is not, there will be a penalty.  If you already own a shitbox and want to use it in the rally you will need to prove to us that it is worth what you say.  If it is deemed to be worth more than $1,000 there will be a penalty – you do not want to find out what this is.  If you get parts donated to you free of charge, the value of the parts is included in your $1,000.  It is great that you are getting something for free, but the rules are very simple.  $1,000 value for your car.

15. At any time during the rally the rally director can buy your car from you for $1 and it is at the rally directors sole discretion what to do with it.  Meaning, if you spend a lot more than the $1,000 budget allowed i.e. you cheat, we can take your car from you and you can walk home.

16. $1,000 refund.  When you reach your minimum you qualify to get your $1,000, or whatever the amount is that you have paid out for your shitbox.  Meaning, if it has cost you $800, that is what you get back.  The idea is to keep as much money with the Cancer Council as we can.  You will need to provide us with a proof of purchase document such as stamp duty receipt and any receipts for parts etc along with the refund form.  Once we have this and approve it the funds will be transferred into your account.

17. I understand that acceptance of entries in Shitbox Rally 2011 is at the absolute discretion of Shitbox Rally and that receipt of this Application does not guarantee a place in the Shitbox Rally.

I agree to the above terms and conditions.
