Terms of sponsorship

Laura Sarson - Terms of Sponsorship

All money paid will go directly to Clipper Ventures to cover the crew berth fee.

The type of sponsorship we are dealing with is regarded by Clipper Ventures as ‘private sponsorship’ with any deal made exclusively between the company and me. This means that the clipper name or logo cannot be used unless permission is given, but any material produced by the crewmember can be used rights-free. As well as free use of official race photographs and video. Clipper covers text transmission costs for PR purposes, and tours of yachts in port are provided.

The sponsorship buys a set space for a logo or advertisement to be displayed on the official Laura’s Clipper Diaries T-Shirt, and it will also be shown on entering my website: www.laurasclipperdiaries.com as well as the Sponsors page, and will also be referenced in my blog: www.laurasclipperdiaries.blogspot.com.

The T-Shirt will be worn at all times possible during the race on board the yacht and in port visits including training to insure maximum exposure. The foul weather clothing sponsor’s of the clipper race are Henri Lloyd, so it will be necessary to be photographed wearing their clothes sometimes but as an individual I can wear what I want most of the time.

There will, of course, be many copies made of the same t-shirt so I will look clean and presentable at times of high media attention. I will carry these on board and have them sent to each port we will visit.

The logo or advertisement displayed on the website when clicked will redirect the browser to your company home page or a web page of your choice.

I will continue to write my blog throughout the race, and upload my blog site at each port as a minimum.

The sponsors will be notified when the media records their name, by being photographed or written about.

I will make a point to learn about your company or product so I have personal experience that I can refer to when I am interviewed during the race.

If I find myself unable to complete the race, I will choose a suitable person to wear the t-shirt to complete the race. If this did happen I am certain it would mean only more media coverage for the company and focus on the sponsors.

A well-known printing company will print the logos on the t-shirt using high quality transfers.

The dates for the clipper event are set by Clipper Ventures. The arrival date of the yachts to any destination cannot be assured as the speed of racing can vary wildly. The race will start in Hull on the Humber River on the 13^th of September 09 and finish roughly ten months after.

Pricing of logo or advertisements depends on area taken and t-shirt position, as follows:

The position gained on the T-shirt is allocated on a first come first come basis. Payment must be received to confirm the booking and secure the space,

After receiving payment send the logo/company name to be presented on the t-shirt and web address to go along with it.

My behaviour while representing my sponsors will be respectable and responsible, there will be no negative publicity associated with me. If proof of this is shown, a company can pull out with their sponsorship money returned.
