TERMS & CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

(Last updated: December 2025)

These Terms & Conditions of Purchase (“Terms”) apply to all purchases made from Bute Motorsport Limited (“Bute Motorsport”, “we”, “us”, “our”), including:

• Race entries (Full Season or Race-by-Race)

• Registration fees

• Hospitality bookings

• Any other event-related services sold via the GT Cup website or directly by Bute Motorsport

By submitting a Race Entry Form, Registration Form, Hospitality booking, or any other paid order, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

These Terms operate alongside the GT Cup Championship Sporting & Technical Regulations, the Supplementary Regulations, and our Website Terms of Service.

2. Making a Purchase

Purchases are deemed confirmed when:

• we receive a completed Race Entry Form, Registration Form or booking; and

• full payment is received; or

• we issue written confirmation that the entry/booking has been accepted.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to decline or cancel entries where required for safety, event capacity, eligibility or regulatory reasons.
If we decline an entry prior to the closing date for that event, a full refund will be issued.

3. Prices and Payment

Current entry prices, hospitality prices and any other fees are published on the GT Cup website or provided directly by Bute Motorsport.

Prices:

• are subject to change at any time prior to a confirmed purchase;

• may vary by event, season, or promotional structure;

• may include administrative surcharges for late entries (as defined in the regulations).

All payments must be made in full at the time of submitting the entry unless agreed otherwise in writing.

4. Your Contract with Us

A contract is formed when:

• you submit an entry or booking; and

• we accept it by email or confirm receipt of payment.

Entries are purchases of an event participation service, not a physical product.

The contract incorporates:

• These Terms & Conditions of Purchase

• GT Cup Sporting & Technical Regulations

• Supplementary Regulations for the specific event

• Any relevant Motorsport UK rules

In the event of conflict, Motorsport UK Regulations take precedence, followed by the GT Cup Sporting & Technical Regulations, then these Terms.

5. Refund Policy

(This section directly matches Championship Regulations)

5.1 Full Season Entries

No refund of entry fees can be made for Full Season Entries, or entries sold at a discounted rate, for any reason.

5.2 Race-by-Race Entries

For single-event entries, refunds are available only when written notice of withdrawal is received by the Championship Coordinator as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, the reference point for a “race meeting” is 5pm on the Friday prior to the event. A “week” means a full seven days.

5.3 Event Cancellation or Significant Change

If an event is cancelled by the organiser or venue for reasons outside your control:

• we will transfer your entry to the rescheduled event; or

• if no alternative is offered, we may issue a refund or credit at our discretion.

No additional compensation is payable for travel, accommodation or other expenses.

6. Late Entries

Entries received later than 14 days before the event may incur an administrative surcharge.

Entries received after 12:00 noon on the Thursday prior to the event will not be accepted.

7. Admission Passes

• Full Season Entrants receive six permanent Circuit Admission Passes.

• Race-by-Race Entrants or late entrants may instead receive temporary paper passes.

• Permanent passes are the property of MSVR and must be surrendered upon request.

• Replacement passes are available directly from MSVR at £30 per pass.

8. Event Information

For each event, Bute Motorsport will issue:

• Supplementary Regulations

• Event timetable

• Paddock plan and operational instructions

This information is provided by email to all competitors who have submitted valid entries.

Competitors wishing to receive documentation by post must notify us at least 14 days prior to the event and provide a suitable postal address.

9. Your Responsibilities

By submitting an entry, you confirm that:

• all information supplied is accurate and complete;

• you hold the required licences and documentation;

• your vehicle meets the GT Cup technical regulations;

• you accept all responsibilities and liabilities outlined in the Championship Regulations.

You are responsible for ensuring:

• your entry form is completed correctly;

• your payment is made on time;

• any amendments (e.g., driver changes) are submitted in good time.

10. Our Responsibilities

We will:

• administer entries fairly and consistently;

• provide event information in reasonable time;

• liaise with Motorsport UK, circuits and partners to deliver the event safely;

• communicate changes to schedules or procedures promptly.

However, we are not liable for:

• costs incurred by competitors (travel, accommodation, testing, fuel, repairs etc.);

• event disruption caused by weather, force majeure, or safety requirements;

• decisions made by Motorsport UK, MSVR, officials or circuits that are outside our control.

11. Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence;

• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

• any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• our liability is limited to the entry or booking fee paid;

• we are not liable for consequential or indirect losses (e.g. travel, accommodation, lost opportunities, vehicle damage).

Motorsport participation involves inherent risk. By entering, you acknowledge and accept those risks as set out in Motorsport UK regulations.

12. Consumer Rights

Entries and motorsport participation are event-based services with fixed dates.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, there is no 14-day cooling-off period for such services.

Your right to a refund is therefore governed solely by Section 5 of these Terms.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes materially affect your entry, we will notify you using the contact details provided.
