The Big Goal Gala

Event Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to all ticket holders, table hosts, sponsors and attendees (“Guests”) of The Big Goal Gala (the “Event”), organised and delivered by the Street Soccer Foundation (“the Organiser”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a registered charity in England and Wales.

By purchasing a ticket, reserving a table, or entering into a sponsorship agreement for the Event, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

1. Event Details

The Organiser reserves the right to amend the Event date, venue, format, content, speakers, entertainment or programme where reasonably necessary.

While every effort will be made to deliver the Event as advertised, the Organiser does not guarantee the appearance of any particular guest speaker, performer or personality.

2. Bookings & Payment

2.1 Tickets & Tables

• All ticket and table bookings must be paid in full by the stated payment deadline unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• A booking is confirmed only once payment has been received or a written agreement has been signed.

2.2 Sponsorship Packages

• Sponsorship agreements must be confirmed in writing.
• Payment schedules (if staged payments are agreed) will be clearly set out in the sponsorship agreement.
• All sponsorship fees must be paid by the agreed dates.

Failure to meet payment deadlines may result in cancellation of the booking or sponsorship benefits at the Organiser’s discretion.

3. Cancellations & Refunds

3.1 Guest or Sponsor Cancellation

All cancellations must be made in writing.

• Cancellations received more than 60 days prior to the Event may be eligible for a partial refund (less reasonable administrative costs), at the Organiser’s discretion.
• Cancellations within 60 days of the Event are non-refundable.
• Tickets and tables may be transferred to another named guest with prior written notice to the Organiser.

Sponsorship fees are non-refundable once marketing, promotional or production benefits have commenced.

As this is a fundraising event in support of the Street Soccer Foundation’s charitable work, many costs are committed in advance and refunds cannot generally be provided.

4. Event Changes, Postponement or Force Majeure

The Organiser reserves the right to postpone, relocate or reasonably alter the format of the Event due to circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to:

• Acts of God
• Government restrictions
• National mourning
• Public health emergencies
• Venue unavailability
• Security risks
• Industrial disputes
• Insufficient participation

If the Event is postponed, tickets and sponsorships will be transferred to the rescheduled date.

If the Event is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled, the Organiser will determine an appropriate refund policy, taking into account costs already incurred in good faith.

The Organiser shall not be liable for any consequential losses, including travel or accommodation costs.

5. Sponsorship Benefits & Branding

Sponsors grant the Organiser a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use their company name and logo for the purposes of promoting and delivering the Event.

The Organiser will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the agreed sponsorship benefits but reserves the right to make minor changes where operationally necessary.

Sponsors may not:

• Sub-license or resell their sponsorship package
• Share branding benefits without prior written consent
• Promote unrelated events or causes during the Event without approval

All branding materials must comply with UK law and must not be offensive, discriminatory or inappropriate.

The Organiser reserves the right to refuse entry or remove any Guest who:

• Engages in abusive, threatening, discriminatory or inappropriate behaviour

• Acts unlawfully or unsafely

No refund will be provided in such circumstances.

7. Health & Safety

Guests must comply with:

• Venue health & safety requirements
• Fire and evacuation procedures

The Organiser reserves the right to implement additional health or security measures where required.

Subject to the above:

• The Organiser shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss.
• The Organiser’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount paid by the Guest or Sponsor for the Event.
• Guests attend at their own risk and are responsible for personal belongings.

Sponsors are responsible for ensuring they hold appropriate public liability and other relevant insurance for any materials, branding installations or promotional activity they bring to the Event.

The Organiser may request proof of insurance where applicable.

The Event may be photographed and filmed for promotional and marketing purposes.

By attending, Guests consent to:

• Being photographed, filmed or recorded

14. Governing Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
