It is expected that for these situations, the card holder adds their detail prior to submitting the completed web application form. This does not infer that the duty of care remains wholly with the person conducting the transaction, but rather in their compelling judgment and responsibility in this issue. Nonetheless, the event itself is run under the governing body's sanction (BTF) whose certificate is only issued once the whole event has received a detailed risk assessment and scrutiny. In this way, the duty of care by way of the event organiser and officials is persisted through these measures.

BTF and DAY MEMBERSHIP You must be a member of the BTF (or hold a day membership licence which is issued at registration for non-BTF members) in order to take part in a BTF sanctioned event. For members, you will receive a refund at registration of the day licence levy on production of a current BTF licence. For non-members your day membership is included in the entry fee for the race in question. Day licence/BTF membership provides you with Third Party (Public) Liability insurance, provided by the BTF's insurer which will indemnify the member in respect of a successful Third Party claim made against them. The policy generally has an indemnity limit of £5,000,000. It is the applicant's responsibility to satisfy themselves that such indemnity and cover is sufficient. The typical association statement is as follows: As a condition of your day licence membership, you agree to the details of your name, address, telephone number and date of birth being forwarded to the BTF for the purpose of registering your day licence membership. This forms part of your conditions of entry which you agree to by ticking the "I have read & agree to abide by the conditions of entry" box. You further agree to abide by the conditions of membership and rules of the BTF, details of which are published on http://www.britishtriathlon.org. If you subsequently become a member of the BTF, then on production of your BTF licence at registration, your day licence levy will be refunded and a note of your BTF membership taken. In all cases, BTF licence details will be checked against those supplied during the application process. However, failure to produce a current BTF licence at registration where a BTF licence number has been supplied during the application stage will automatically invoke the day licence levy against the competitor. No exceptions can be permitted. Your DOB In many instances we do not need your actual date of birth, but asking you for it allows us to: fulfil a requirement for Day Licence conditions (see 'how we use your information' section) ensure that we meet our obligations with regards to running a BTF sanctioned event in so far as to detect where an applicant does not meet a minimum age requirement set by BTF rules enable grouping of finishers into an age related result category ensure that the parent/guardian has given permission where the applicant is under 18 years of age at the time of application
