• we have a reasonable belief that a donor is in vulnerable circumstances or lacks capacity to make decisions relating to donations.

We record on our database the donor’s name, address, email, telephone, and amount donated. For more details on our practices concerning the collection and use of donors’ personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Fundraising

You must register with UWA prior to commencing any fundraising activity/event on behalf of UWA. You are not permitted to fundraise on behalf of UWA until you have received an official letter of authorisation from us. This letter will be issued once we have assessed and approved your proposed fundraising event/activity.

You agree that you are solely responsible for all aspects of organising the fundraising activity/event, including but not limited to organising necessary logistics, safety considerations, permits, public liability insurance, publicity, prizes and compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

You may use the UWA name and/or logo to promote your fundraising activity/event. However, any promotional material that uses the UWA name and/or logo must be preceded by the words ‘Proudly Supporting’ or words of a similar effect. All promotional material must be approved by UWA before being printed, posted online or otherwise distributed in any format. We reserve the right to reject or withdraw the distribution of any promotional materials that do not align with UWA’s values.

UWA operates under high ethical and moral standards and cannot be associated with certain events or activities. You agree not to align UWA with events or activities including extreme sports, gambling, alcohol or tobacco, X-rated or violent content, proceeds of a crime, games of chance that do not comply with State/Territory legislation or any activity that poses risk to children or young people.

You acknowledge that we reserve the right to withdraw your authority to organise a fundraising activity/event at any time if it appears to UWA that the fundraising activity/event may negatively impact, reflect badly or bring into disrepute the image, reputation or goodwill of UWA or if we believe you have or are likely to not meet any of these Terms and Conditions.

We reserve the right to audit paperwork associated with the event/fundraising activity and reject or withdraw any fundraising activity/event or donation that is deemed by us to be inconsistent with UWA’s values.

You accept that UWA will not be liable for any loss or costs incurred by you as a result of any rejected or withdrawn applications. You further agree to release UWA to the fullest extent permissible under law for all claims and demands of any kind associated with the fundraising event/activity and indemnify UWA for all liability or costs that may arise in respect to any damage, loss or injury occurring in respect of the fundraising event/activity caused by your breach of these Terms or Conditions.
