What happens if I cancel my entry?
If you entered within the last 14 days:
Cancellation of your entry can be made in accordance with online selling law up to 14 days after purchase, except where your application is made within two weeks of the event date. Within this time period we will give you a refund minus any transaction fees from SiEntries.
If you entered over 14 days ago:
No refunds of entry fees will be given including in circumstances where you are unable to attend due to illness, injury, pregnancy or a scheduling conflict, unless the Organiser cancels or makes a significant change to the location of the event or the date of the event so that you are no longer able to attend.
What happens if Love SwimRun cancels an event?
Love SwimRun Ltd will offer you a refund (minus any booking/transaction fees from SiEntries), transfer or entry credit for the value of your entry if we cancel or make a significant change to the location of the event or the date of the event so that you are no longer able to attend, except where these changes are made due to unavoidable circumstances beyond our control and we could not reasonably have foreseen or provided against them ((Force Majeure – for example extreme bad weather or other Acts of God) where your safety or health would be put at risk. In the event of event cancellation in these circumstances you will be offered a credit voucher for the value of your entry (no deferral charge will apply) or transfer to a future Love SwimRun event in accordance with the terms set out under ‘Can I defer my entry?’ below.
In the event of cancellation or date changes for any reason, no other costs or expenses incurred by you will be covered by Love SwimRun. We recommend you take out sports event insurance and travel insurance to cover these eventualities.
