12. Media Coverage and recording for promotional and security purposes.

12.1 All Attendees (which for the purposes of this Condition includes Attendees with horses and Attendees with children) are reminded that many races and fixtures are given coverage and made publicly available on television, radio, on the internet and in print and various other forms of media throughout the world. By entering the Racecourse you accept (for yourself and on behalf of any horse or children in your care) that you/they may appear in such coverage, as well as in printed or electronic material consisting of moving and/or still imagery used for the promotion and marketing of the Racecourse and horseracing in general, and for entertainment, editorial and training purposes, by the Operator, its business partners (including Racecourse Media Group (RMG)) and other media organisations. If you do not wish to be included in such coverage or other material, please do not attend the Racecourse.

12.2 Accordingly, you shall have no right to or demand any payment in respect of, your, your horse's or your children’s inclusion in any such coverage whether produced by the Operator or by RMG or other third parties authorised by the Operator. Furthermore, by entering the Racecourse you accept (for yourself and on behalf of any children in your care) the passing of still or moving images of you/them to third parties authorised by the Operator (including RMG) for the purposes of the production of printed or electronic material to be used as set out above.

12.3 You acknowledge that, on request, you may be asked to give additional consents or waivers required for the unrestricted lawful use of any coverage (if any) without request for payment or imposing any other conditions.

12.4 You acknowledge that the Racecourse is, by its nature, a public place, and you should have no expectation of privacy as regards your actions and conduct at the Racecourse. If you are identifiable in any coverage or printed or electronic material as a result of your attendance at the Racecourse, the Operator (and/or its business partners, including RMG) will process your personal data in accordance with its, and RMG's, legitimate interests for the purpose of making, exploiting and promoting its, and RMG's, business and the Racecourse.

We will not be responsible for any loss, injury or damage, howsoever caused, to any Attendee or their property (“Loss”) except where and only to the extent that any such Loss is caused by our negligence or other breach of duty, or the negligence or other breach of duty of our employees or authorised agents.

14.4 If you leave any property at the Racecourse, we will endeavour to retain such property for a period of two months during which time you may contact us to arrange a time to collect it. Any property left unclaimed at the Racecourse for longer than this period will be disposed of.

14.5 Attendees must accept that, by its very nature, attending race meetings is not without risk. Attendees must therefore remain vigilant and exercise a reasonable degree of caution and care for themselves and those around them (including, in particular, any horses and children in their care) at all times.

14.6 You are responsible for any damage you cause (or a child or horse in your care causes) to the Racecourse, any fixtures and fittings or goods or equipment owned by or in the possession of the Operator at the Racecourse and for any damage caused to the property of any other person or business present at the Racecourse.

17.2 Attendees acknowledge that an Ancillary Event may be scheduled to take place outdoors and an Ancillary Event may be delayed, cancelled or re- scheduled at any time by the Operator due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (including, without limitation due to adverse weather conditions).

17.3 In the event that any Ancillary Event is delayed, cancelled or re-scheduled, the refund policy as set out in 16.2 shall apply.

17.4 In the event that a refund is due to an Attendee pursuant to the Operator’s refund policy, refunds cannot be made on racedays.

17.5 We give no guarantee that any Ancillary Event will take place. Where an Ancillary Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, where practicable, we will take reasonable steps to notify you using the details you provided us with at the time of purchasing your Ticket. However:

(b) it is responsibility of the Attendee to check whether an Ancillary Event has been cancelled or rescheduled and the date and time or any rescheduled Ancillary Event.

17.6 Save as set out in these Conditions, we will have no further liability in relation to any cancelled, delayed or re-scheduled Ancillary Event.

24. SPECIAL CONDITIONS B - MEDIA CONTRACTORS AND LICENSEES

3. Scope of Special Conditions B

3.1 We (and or our duly authorised agents and sub-licensees) may from time to time enter into agreements with third parties under which those third parties, their sub-contractors and licensees are permitted to enter the Racecourse for the purpose of producing still images or audio/visual/data coverage of races and fixtures and/or transmitting, broadcasting or otherwise distributing such coverage from the Racecourse (a Third Party Media Agreement). These Special Conditions B apply to all Attendees who are presenton the Racecourse under the terms of a Third Party Media Agreement (Media Attendees).

3.2 These Special Conditions B apply whether or not a Media Attendee holds a badge, PASS Card or other entitlement to enter the Racecourse.

We reserve the right to refuse entry to, or to expel, any Media Attendee admitted underthese Special Conditions B who does not produce satisfactory evidence of such insurance on demand or within such period as we may determine.

4. Your Rights

4.1 Ordinarily the rights which Attendees have to produce audio/visual/data coverage of races and fixtures is limited under Condition 10. However, where Media Attendees are present on the Racecourse under the terms of a Third Party Media Agreement it is likely that the scope of the rights which the relevant third party enjoys in respect of, or to produce and exploit, audio/visual/data coverage of races and fixtures will be wider than that permitted under Condition 10.

4.2 To the extent that the rights granted under a Third Party Media Agreement are widerthan the rights granted under the General Conditions, including (but not limited to) Condition 10, Media Attendees will be entitled to exercise and exploit those rights granted to the third party under the relevant Third Party Media Agreement.

4.3 Please note, however, that save where we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing the rights granted a third party under a Third Party Media Agreement will be personal to that third party. Accordingly, Media Attendees' rights to attend the racecourse will be strictly as an employee or sub-contractor to the relevant third party and Media Attendees will not be entitled to exercise any rights to, or to produce and exploit, audio/visual/data coverage of races and fixtures on their own behalf or for any purpose other than that permitted under the relevant Third Party Media Agreement.

4.4 Media Attendees must comply with the terms of any applicable BHA Instructions which may be relevant to their activities on the Racecourse. Particular attention is drawn to BHA Instructions 5.1 and 5.2.

5. Third Party Media Agreements to Prevail

If and to the extent that there is any conflict between these Conditions and the terms of any Third Party Media Agreement, the terms of the Third Party Media Agreement shall prevail.

3.6 Any mobile camera designed to be carried by horse or rider must be authorised by the PJA. A protocol for its use will then be developedby the BHA with racing’s associations and the television companies.

3.7 Cameras at the start are not to be placed in such position that they will upset the horses or impede the starting procedures.

3.8 If cameras are positioned at the winning line, they must be sited so as not to interfere in any way with the photo finish mirror or the integrity cameras, or be attached to the winning post. Where facilities for cameras are limited, the integrity cameras must be given priority.

3.9 Broadcast cameras must not restrict the view of the Racecourse Stewards, Officials or integrity cameras.

3.10 The siting of any cameras which encroach onto the track is to be agreed beforehand with the Inspector of Courses and the Racecourse.
