Payments must be made according to the agreed schedule, and in-kind contributions must be delivered by the specified deadlines to ensure Event preparation.

3. Sponsor Benefits

In return for the sponsorship, the Organiser will provide the Sponsor with the agreed benefits, which may include, but are not limited to:

• Mention in press releases, social media, and other promotional materials.
• Access to exclusive photos and videos from the Event for marketing purposes.

5. Event Cancellation or Postponement

The Organiser reserves the right to cancel or postpone the Event due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., extreme weather, safety concerns).
