Autism Initiatives reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to refuse your registration in Run for Autism or to disqualify you from Run for Autism for breach of these terms and conditions or for any other reason Autism Initiatives determines appropriate.

Physical Risk Notice

I understand that Run for Autism is a recreational activity that involves physical exertion and may involve activity in bad weather, high temperatures and upon uneven terrain. The risks of participation in Run for Autism are increased if I choose to participate in costume, in novelty shoes, using props, running or if I have, or did have, certain medical conditions.

I acknowledge that the above is not an exhaustive list of all risks inherent in my participation in Run for Autism. I further acknowledge that there may be risks that are not known or reasonably foreseeable at this time.

I acknowledge that Autism Initiatives has not undertaken an assessment of my ability to participate but that Autism Initiatives recommends that I consult a doctor before participating in Run for Autism if I have any condition that may make it dangerous for me to participate in Run for Autism.

I acknowledge that during Run for Autism responsibility for both my person and my property shall be my own.

I agree that by participating in Run for Autism, I am aware of the risks involved and I voluntarily assume those risks.

If Autism Initiatives becomes aware that I am undertaking particularly risky or dangerous activity as part of Run for Autism it may request that I refrain from that activity and I agree that I will comply with that request or have my entry into Run for Autism cancelled.

If I do not wish direct images to be taken of me on my own, or if I do not wish my name to be attached to any image, I understand that I can make this known to the person proposing to take the image at the time.

I confirm that I am the creator and the copyright owner of any images I share, post or upload to the Run for Autism website, or tag to Autism Initiatives or Run for Autism on social media, and that I have the consent of all persons who are captured and identifiable in the images I provide, including parental consent if the subject is under the age of 18.
