Partnership Confirmation

We shall not be liable to you and we reserve the right to defer the date of an event or to cancel an event or reduce the volume of ticketing or partnership opportunities ordered by you if we are prevented or hindered from or delayed in the carrying on of our business due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control including act of God, actions of third parties (including hackers, suppliers, governments or supra-national authorities), insurrection, riot, civil commotion, war, hostilities, warlike operations, national emergencies, terrorism, piracy, arrests, restraints or detainments of any competent authority, strikes or combinations or lock-out of workmen, epidemic, fire, explosion, storm, flood, drought, earthquake, adverse weather conditions, natural disaster, accident, mechanical breakdown, third party software, failure or problems with public utility supplies (including electrical, telecoms or general Internet failure), shortage of or inability to obtain materials, failure of computer equipment, failures or delays of sources from which information or data is obtained) ("Event of Force Majeure"), regardless of whether the circumstances in question could have been foreseen.

In the Event of Force Majeure, we shall have no liability to you and accordingly we shall have no obligation to refund to you the price of the partnership opportunities or tickets purchased.

Payment Terms

Photography

GroceryAid may arrange for photographs and/or video footage to be taken at events and used for promotional purposes.  This may include printed documents or media, editorial coverage, advertising press and use on the internet. By submitting registration details, Delegates agree to their image being used in this manner. If Delegates wish to revoke this consent, please contact GroceryAid’s events team: [email protected]

Data Protection

As part of the programme, we collect data for the following:

  1. Use of our Learning Lab invites, ERG Forums and for event registration. By submitting details, Delegates agree to the following:
      • GroceryAid can hold Delegate details on their database
      • GroceryAid and third party companies associated with the event can contact Delegates as required for the organisation and administration of the event. Data will not be shared with any other third party.
      • The name and company of attendees will be placed on the attendee list for each event. This list may be provided to all delegates for them to see who is at the event for the purpose of networking and meetings.

If Delegates wish to revoke this consent, please contact GroceryAid’s events team: [email protected]

2. Use of our Mentoring Programme.

      • By submitting details as part of the application process, delegates agree to PushFar’s Terms and Conditions and GroceryAid’s Terms and Conditions.
      • Candidates will also be requested to complete a Diversity survey. The purpose of the survey is to understand the diversity of the 2024 mentoring cohort. The survey will measure the current levels of representation across 10 areas (Age, Gender, Sexual Orientation, Ethnicity, Religion, Parental and fostering responsibility, Caring responsibility, Physical disability, Neurodivergence and Social Mobility) to enable us to track annually. The data provided is purely for this purpose and will not be used as part of the matching process between Mentees and Mentors, therefore the survey is anonymous and also provides a ‘prefer not to say’ option to each question. Once reviewed the survey will be deleted and the aggregated results shared with the Mentoring Steering Group on 12th March 2024, the Programme’s Strategy Steering Group for their April meeting and alongside the Mentoring Programme highlight stats in the 2024 Impact Report.

3. Use of our Maturity Model.

      • By submitting details as part of the completion process, The Maturity Model Contact agrees to CM System Designs Software Terms and Conditions, D&I in Grocery Programme Terms and Conditions and GroceryAid’s Terms and Conditions.
