Terms and conditions:

Sponsorship contributions:
ICC require that all prospective sponsors agree to provide the funding upfront and in full in order to fulfil the chosen tier, the sponsor is then valid for up to one year, running the entirety of the “membership term” which in our case is 1st January (of the current year) to 31st December (of the same year).

Sponsors are able to sign up for multiple membership terms however the same duration for the first term applies, no “credit” or “balance” is carried forward from the first membership term.
For example; a sponsor signs up in August of the current year for a term of 2 years, the sponsor term will run August of the current year, renewing for the 2nd term on 1st January of the following year until 31st December of the that year.

Sponsorship appearances:
Any appearance at a club event must be agreed in advance with the club secretary/event co-ordinator to avoid conflict with other sponsors or when exclusive rights are sought for Tier 5 sponsors.

Logos displayed on club kit:
Any alterations made to official club kit only take affect once this is officially accepted by British Cycling, previous kit with current or prior sponsors can still be worn by all members of the club and there are no requirements for club members to purchase new kit following a new sponsor.

Sponsors have the option to provide funding for kit or equipment for specific areas of the club (social/race/youth academy etc) however no requirement will be made for club members to wear the kit or to use that equipment in place of existing fit for purpose kit/equipment without prior arrangement with the club secretary/event co-ordinator.

Exclusive rights to sponsor events:
We are delighted to be able to offer our Tier 5 sponsors the opportunity to exclusively sponsor our high profile events, to ensure fairness with our other sponsors, excusive rights are assigned on a first come, first serve basis and is booked through the club secretary/event co-ordinator.

Exclusive rights do not take priority over other sponsors when a lower tier sponsor has already been approved to be present at an event prior to exclusive rights being requested, in this case, the Tier 5 sponsor is invited to be the headline sponsor however the lower tier sponsor is still welcome at the event under the terms agreed with them and the club secretary/event co-ordinator.

Availability
Whilst Ilkeston Cycle Club endeavours to ensure that the above benefits are available to be utilised, the club offers no guarantees or warranties that such may be possible every time the sponsor wishes to do so.
Ilkeston Cycle Club makes no warranty as to its own continuation or performance as a club, all sponsorships will be agreed upon an “as-is” basis.
