5. I shall arrive at the Torchbearer collection point on the date and at the time notified to me by LOCOG and be ready to complete the slot of the Torch Relay assigned to me by LOCOG, otherwise my place as a Torchbearer may be withdrawn. I agree to bring photographic identification as requested by LOCOG.
6. I agree it is my responsibility to arrange and pay for my own transport to and from the Torch Relay and to pay for any other costs associated with my participation in the Torch Relay.
7. Throughout my participation in the Torch Relay, I shall wear the official uniform for Torchbearers to be provided by LOCOG in advance of participation (at LOCOG’s cost) and I agree not to wear any other outer clothing (other than my own footwear) (unless for religious reasons or as previously approved by LOCOG) or to carry any item other than the Olympic Torch or to display any visible signage or logos or to promote any commercial product or service or to use my participation to further any cause, including without limitation any political cause, in any way during or in connection with my participation in the Torch Relay.
8. I agree to comply with any direction, rule or guidance given to me by LOCOG with regard to the handling of the Olympic Torch including from a safety and operational perspective.

10. I acknowledge that no other person (including parents, guardians or friends) shall be permitted to participate alongside me in the Torch Relay unless previously approved by LOCOG.
11. I acknowledge that my selection as a Torchbearer in the Torch Relay is personal to me and I shall not allow or ask anyone else to carry the Olympic Flame in my slot on the Torch Relay. If I cannot, or do not wish to, participate in the Torch Relay, I agree (i) to notify LOCOG in writing as soon as possible, (ii) that my place will be given to a different individual, and (iii) to return to LOCOG the uniform provided to me. I acknowledge that I am not entitled to transfer, swap or sell my slot to anyone and that I will not be able to change the date, time or place of my allocated slot. I acknowledge that I shall only be entitled to carry the Olympic Flame in one slot along the Torch Relay.
12. I agree to provide any proof of identity and/or submit to any background and/or other security checks that LOCOG may require prior to or on the day of my allocated slot in the Torch Relay; I agree to cooperate by providing any information or documentation requested by LOCOG and by agreeing to LOCOG carrying out security checks on the day of my allocated slot in the Torch Relay which may include inspecting my personal property. LOCOG reserves the right to disqualify any individual who fails to cooperate with such checks or who LOCOG considers that it would be inappropriate to permit to participate in the Torch Relay.
13. I acknowledge that I am responsible for all property I bring onto the Torch Relay and that LOCOG accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage to such property.
14. I agree to be filmed, televised, photographed and/or otherwise recorded in connection with the Torch Relay, and to make myself available for media and publicity interviews and photographs if required, for the purposes of publicising and promoting the Torch Relay at a time/place convenient to me. I agree that LOCOG, the International Olympic Committee and selected third parties, including the commercial partners of the Torch Relay, the London 2012 Games and future Olympic Games, shall be permitted to use such films, photographs and recordings and my image and likeness for the purposes of promoting and publicising the Torch Relay, the London 2012 Games, future Olympic Games and the Olympic and/or Paralympic movements more generally.
15. I have notified LOCOG of any specific requirements I have in relation to any physical, medical or other condition(s) of which I am aware and of which LOCOG should be informed for the purposes of organising the Torch Relay. In the event I later become aware of any other such condition or requirements or any changes to my condition or requirements, I shall notify LOCOG of these as soon as possible before the date I am due to participate in the Torch Relay. I confirm that to the best of my knowledge and belief, I am not suffering from any condition which may prevent me from taking part in the Torch Relay and I am sufficiently physically fit to participate in the Torch Relay without risk to my health. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to seek my own medical advice in relation to my participation in the Torch Relay and I shall be wholly responsible for acting on all medical advice and for taking all such precautions as may be necessary in relation to any condition or risk to health from which I may be suffering at the time of my participation.
16. In the event I am injured or ill whilst participating in the Torch Relay, I consent to administration of first aid and/or medical treatment by or on behalf of LOCOG, any of its employees, volunteers or agents or any organisation LOCOG arranges to provide such treatment, unless I have notified LOCOG in advance that for religious reasons I will not accept medical treatment. I agree that I shall be responsible for arranging and paying for any personal medical insurance required and for payment or reimbursement of any medical costs incurred in respect of any first aid or other medical treatment (to the extent I am not otherwise entitled to such treatment under the NHS or otherwise) arising out of my participation in the Torch Relay.
17. I agree that whilst LOCOG shall take all reasonable steps to ensure my safe participation in the Torch Relay, I assume all of the risks associated with my involvement, including carrying the Torch in a public space. In consideration of LOCOG permitting me to participate in the Torch Relay, on my own behalf and on behalf of my successors, I release and forever discharge LOCOG, the International Olympic Committee, British Olympic Association and any organising committee of an Olympic and/or Paralympic Games, London 2012 Games sponsors, all of their employees, volunteers and agents from any responsibility or liability (whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), statutory duty or otherwise) for any loss, injury or damage suffered in relation to my participation howsoever caused (except personal injury or death caused by the negligence of LOCOG, its employees, volunteers or agents) and I hereby waive any and all claims or actions in respect thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by law I agree that any condition or warranty implied by law is expressly excluded.
18. I acknowledge that in the event of unforeseen circumstances LOCOG may notify me that my Torchbearer place has been withdrawn and that I may no longer participate in the Torch Relay. Further, I agree that LOCOG may withdraw my Torchbearer place at any time without notice if I do not comply with, or LOCOG believes that I will not comply with, these Participation Terms or any other rules or directions for Torchbearers or if I otherwise do or omit to do anything which, in LOCOG’s opinion, adversely effects LOCOG’s interests or those of the London 2012 Olympic Games or the Olympic Movement.
19. I agree to the information supplied to LOCOG in connection with my nomination being stored and processed under the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998.

Where an individual is successful through the nomination process, personal data provided in the nomination process will be deleted from LOCOG’s database when it is no longer required for the purposes contemplated by these Terms and conditions. I may request to be removed from the nomination process, and my data deleted from LOCOG’s database, at any stage. I will continue to receive other communications from LOCOG if I have specifically requested to do so.
