Please read these terms and conditions carefully.   Your use of the BINGHAMCUP.COM website (the “Site”) and your participation in the Bingham Cup constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.   If you do not accept the terms and conditions, then you should not use the Site or participate in the Bingham Cup.

Who Are We?

The Site is operated by BC08 Dublin Limited, a guarantee company without a share capital with Company Number 434841 and its registered office at 62 St. Alban's Road, Dublin 8 (referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “our”).

Our Services

Limited access to the Site is available to all Internet users. Only registered users who have been issued with a valid Username and Password (“Members”) may use the members' area of the Site.   To register a team with us, you must properly complete the online registration form and make all required payments.

In return for your payment, we will do the following:

•  enter your team in the Bingham Cup;

•  organise times, venues and referees for your team fixtures;

•  allow Members to input their team data; and

We do not control the content of any data inputted by users of the Site. However, we will aim to rectify errors when they are notified to us.   We do not own or maintain the pitches or facilities where fixtures are played and cannot therefore be responsible for them.   Teams are expected to supply their own kit and footballs.

Insurance

We do not provide insurance for players playing in the Bingham Cup.   All players are required to have their own medical insurance to participate in the tournament.   This insurance is often organised via the player's club policy but ultimately it is the responsibility of each individual player to ensure they obtain appropriate levels of insurance.   We will not be reviewing each individual player's insurance policy.   Your acceptance of these terms and conditions shall constitute confirmation by you that you have obtained adequate medical insurance cover.
