Racing Pride Membership Agreement

The Racing Pride member community has been created as a safe, supportive, and uplifting environment for LGBTQ+ people and allies. This agreement is in place to make sure that it remains so for all members.

As a member of Racing Pride, you agree and understand:

  1. All registration information you provide to us is true, accurate, current and complete. Please help us to maintain the accuracy of the information and promptly update Racing Pride with changes when necessary.
  2. You have the legal capacity and will comply with these terms and conditions.
  3. You will not use your membership privileges for an unauthorised purpose or share your membership privileges with others.

  5. Invites to in-person events do not guarantee your spot. Some events will have a limited capacity, and some venues may have other restrictions on, or requirements for, attendance (for instance regulations to protect the confidentiality of sensitive information from competitors). 
    1. For events with a limited capacity, a ballot system will be used to determine the participants. Members will be given a deadline to sign up, after which a draw will occur.
    2. Members will be informed of any other potential restrictions on, or requirements for, attendance to the best of Racing Pride’s knowledge.
  6. Offered discounts on selected Racing Pride merchandise is subject to item availability.
