Requirements to Participate.
-
Agreement to Terms and Conditions. In addition to agreeing to all of the terms and conditions presented here before you register for the Run on this website, you and anyone else participating in the Run with you as a driver or passenger will be required to acknowledge your agreement with these terms and conditions again before starting the Run.
Responsibility for Conduct. I AGREE THAT I AM SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN BEHAVIOR, CONDUCT AND ACTIVITIES DURING THE RUN, AND THAT MY OBSERVATION OR KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROHIBITED CONDUCT OR MENTION OF ANY PROHIBITED CONDUCT BY CBR OR ANYONE PARTICIPATING IN THE RUN IN ANY WAY IS NEITHER AN EXPRESS OR IMPLICIT AUTHORIZATION THAT SUCH CONDUCT IS AUTHORIZED BY THE RUN.
Minimum Age. Any person riding in or driving a Vehicle entered in the Run must be 21 or over.
Payment. The cost to participate in the Run is $18,500.00 payable in two payments of $9,250.00 each, one at the time of registration and one which will be automatically charged to the credit card you provide 60 days after your first payment. By registering for the Run you authorize the above payments when due and authorize CBR to charge your credit card for both the initial deposit of $9,250.00 and the balance of $9,250.00 60 days after your initial registration.
Limited Places and Availability. Registrations are limited and availability is not guaranteed. You will be notified by email at the email address you provide within 10 business days after your registration if you have been accepted. If through no fault of your own you are not accepted to participate in the Run after you have made your initial deposit, that deposit will be refunded with 10 business days.
No Cancelations or Refunds. Once you have been accepted to participate in the Run, the Run has a strict NO REFUND policy and your initial deposit payment and final payment are not refundable at any time, for any reason, regardless of whether you have participated in any or all of the Run. By registering and submitting payment(s) for the Run you acknowledge that you understand this policy and agree that forfeiting your payment(s) is a reasonable calculation of the damages the Run would face if you cancelled or if you fail to make payment for any balance due after your initial registration, given the nature in which events, accommodations and travel for Run participants are coordinated. You agree that you will forfeit any payment(s) you have made if you cancel your registration or are unable to participate in the Run for any reason after you are accepted.
Valid Driver’s License. Any person driving any Vehicle during their participation in the Run shall possesses at all times a valid driver’s license, with no restrictions the driver cannot comply with at all times during the Run, for the operation of that Vehicle at all times. A valid license shall be a current license issued by (i) any state within the United States, (ii) Canada or (iii) any governmental agency in a country outside the United States with the authority to issue driver’s licenses in that country.
International Drivers Permit. If you are driving with a license issued outside the United States or Canada you must also hold an international driver’s permit (“IDP”). An IDP can only be issued through the agency that issued your original driver’s license. If you will need an IDP, allow enough time to have one issued before you travel to the United States for the Run.
Vehicle Registration. Any Vehicle participating in the Run must be currently and legally registered for operation within the United States. The laws for operating a foreign registered Vehicle vary from state-to-state. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your Vehicle can be legally operated in the states in which the Run will take place.
Vehicle Decals. You agree to allow CBR to attach decals to your Vehicle prior to the start of the Run and during the Run in any location which will not impair the safe operation of your Vehicle. Decals may include but are not limited to those identifying the Cannonball Run and its Sponsors. You further agree that any decals shall be kept on your Vehicle, fully visible and in good condition, until the Run has officially ended. You acknowledge that CBR will not be responsible for any claims of damage to your Vehicle related to or arising from the application or removal of any decal.
Non-CBR Sponsorship. Any sponsorship of you or your Vehicle for the Run, including but not limited to any logo placements on your clothing, person or Vehicle must be approved by CBR in writing, and is at CBR’s sole discretion.
Consent to Use of Images, Likeness and Recordings. By registering for and/or participating in the Run you hereby irrevocably consent to and authorize the use by CBR and its assignees and licensees, of any and all likenesses, images or audio or video recordings created or taken of you in any manner or format during the Run, whether created or taken by you or CBR, and any reproduction of them in any form in any media whatsoever, in connection with the Run in any and all ways, and in any derivative work based thereon throughout the universe, in perpetuity.
