Pledge Disclaimer

Effective date: 1 September 2025

• How pledges work. Pledges are linked to performance tiers. The suggested final amount is calculated from the athlete’s official race result or a verified tracking source (e.g., event results or Strava).
• You pay the charity directly. PaceItForward (Jaco Els Services Pty Ltd) does not receive or handle funds. Donations are made straight to the charity chosen by the athlete.
• Receipts and tax. For Section 18A tax receipts, please contact the charity directly. We do not issue tax certificates or provide tax/financial advice.
• Corrections. If there’s an error in the reported time or tier calculation, we may correct the pledge summary and notify supporters.
• Event changes. If an event is postponed, cancelled, or the athlete withdraws (DNS/DNF), supporters may choose to:
  • carry the pledge to the new date or a replacement event,
  • convert it to a once-off donation to the same charity, or
  • cancel the pledge.
• Voluntary nature. Pledges are voluntary expressions of support. The final amount and payment remain at the supporter’s discretion when donating to the charity.
• Data use. We may share pledge summaries with the relevant athlete and/or charity to help them manage their campaign. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
• No guarantees. We do not guarantee athlete performance, event timing/availability, or collection of any pledged amount.
