TERMS & CONDITIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

You must understand the risks involved in participating in this type of event. It is an adventure and can therefore be dangerous. You are responsible for everything you do and we accept NO responsibility whatsoever.
The Funball Rally (the ‘Event’) is NOT A RACE or time trial. Participants must not compete at any level with each other or other road users. Anyone found doing so will be removed immediately from the Event and no refund will be issued. You must drive with care and attention for your own safety and the safety of others at all times.
The Event is not a guided tour – it is a navigational road trip where you will be given a daily finish point and be expected to navigate to it with your own map/Sat Nav system.
Where a Group Booking is made all persons booked under the lead name of the booking agree to the Terms & Conditions set out here.

AGE RESTRICTIONS

All participants must be 18 or over on the first day of the Event.

ENTRY FEES

A deposit is paid at the time of registration, the balance is due 3 months before the event start date. If you fail to pay the balance on time this will result in your team being removed from the Event. The entry fee does not include any personal expenses during the Event, such as fuel, tolls, food, drink, fines, repair costs or any other expenses of any kind.
If for any reason, you decide to withdraw either before or during the Event, your deposit, final balance and Eurotunnel booking is neither transferable nor refundable. We advise you to take out suitable insurance if you think this will be a problem.
The Event organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to the Event.

    b) Vehicle insurance – for all drivers
    c) MOT certificate – as the condition of a vehicle may deteriorate within the period of an MOT, it is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition for the event.

    It is the sole responsibility of the participants to ensure that their documents are in order. They must be valid from the beginning up to, and including, the last day of the Event. You will be required to sign to this effect at the Event launch.

DECALS

By paying the entry fee you agree to have the Funball Rally decals and all official Event sponsors’ stickers placed on your vehicle at all times during the Event. All stickers are non-permanent, are easy to remove and will not leave any damage to your vehicle.
