Terms and Conditions of Registration as a Fundraiser on behalf of the Good Friday Appeal
1.These terms and conditions govern both a Registered Project Fundraising Event as described in the Fundraising Proposal and Agreement and an Online Fundraising Page as described on the Good Friday Appeal Online Fundraising Platform, in support of The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal ABN 69 084 797 965 (Good Friday Appeal). The Registered Project Fundraiser agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions by completing and submitting the online proposal form and the Online Event Fundraiser agrees to be bound by and accepts these Terms and Conditions by ticking the relevant box on the Online Fundraising Platform.
2. ‘Fundraiser’ means the individual or organisation holding the Fundraising Event for the Good Friday Appeal as detailed in the Fundraising Proposal and Agreement or on the Online Fundraising Page. Fundraisers do not represent the Good Friday Appeal but are acting on their own behalf to raise funds that will be forwarded to the Good Friday Appeal. A fundraiser has no power to bind the Good Friday Appeal in any manner whatsoever or to take any action or do any act or thing in the name of the Good Friday Appeal. Fundraisers must make this clear in all dealings with the public, sponsors and supporters.
3. The Fundraising Event shall be conducted in the Fundraiser’s name and is the sole responsibility of the Fundraiser. The financial aspects, fundraising, raffles, record keeping and management of the Fundraising Event are entirely the responsibility of the Fundraiser. All costs and debts associated with the Fundraising Event are the responsibility of the Fundraiser. The Good Friday Appeal is not able to take a co-ordination or management role in these activities, however, will aim to provide support and advice where possible. The Fundraiser will not act in any way which impacts adversely on the image, reputation or brand of the Good Friday Appeal.
4. The Fundraiser agrees that it is solely responsible for the organisation, management and conduct of the Fundraising Event and all associated costs and liabilities. It warrants that the Fundraising Event will be promoted and conducted by the Fundraiser in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations including but not limited to registering as a fundraiser if required, adherence to all relevant raffle and promotions laws and record keeping. Without limiting the above:
• the Fundraiser must comply with all applicable legal requirements in relation to the participation of children in fundraising appeals; and
• the Fundraiser acknowledges and agrees that, to the full extent permitted by law, the Good Friday Appeal (including its officers, directors, employees and agents) shall not be in any way liable, whether solely or jointly, for any loss, damage or injury howsoever sustained (including without limitation, for negligence or breach of statutory duty) to any person or property, arising out of or in respect of the Fundraising Event.
5. Any person or organisation fundraising in Victoria, unless specifically exempted, is required by law to ’register to fundraise’. Similar laws may apply in other states and territories. Details of fundraiser registration requirements in Victoria are available via the Consumer Affairs Vic website, www.consumer.vic.gov.au. The Good Friday Appeal may send the Fundraiser a letter of consent to fundraise for it as the beneficiary if:
• A Fundraising Proposal and Agreement has been completed and submitted through the online proposal form;
• The Good Friday Appeal is satisfied that the Fundraising Event will produce an appropriate return after expenses have been deducted.
• The Good Friday Appeal is satisfied that the Fundraising Event fits in with the aims and values of The Good Friday Appeal.
• The Good Friday Appeal is satisfied that the Fundraising Event is not high risk.
