- You acknowledge this is a fundraising event and to the best of your ability, commit to raising the minimum sponsorship pledge as advertised on the Smart Works event webpage.
- When fundraising, you will act lawfully, not put undue pressure on people to sponsor you, or do anything that may harm the reputation of Smart Works or act in a manner contrary to our values. You must make it clear you are fundraising in 'aid of Smart Works' and are not representing that you are raising funds on behalf of Smart Works.
- For any independent fundraising events that you carry out to raise funds (such as a cake sale or pub quiz), you acknowledge that you are carrying such events out in your own capacity. It is your responsibility to organise all aspects of such event and make it clear that such event is run by you 'in aid of' Smart Works and is not run by Smart Works. You also agree to make it clear that such event is not 'on behalf of Smart Works' and that Smart Works will not accept any responsibility or liability for such event.

- You agree to send all sponsorship funds collected or raised to Smart Works as soon as possible and no later than ten weeks after the event. If sponsorship money was given on the condition you complete the event, and the event is cancelled, or you do not complete the event, then you should contact donors and ask if they are still happy for sponsorship monies to go Smart Works.
