7.1.6 The prize money described is guaranteed as stipulated above unless Force Majeure is declared.
- Force Majeure
8.1 In this clause, "Event of Force Majeure" means an event beyond the control of the organisers or the participant, which prevents either party from complying with any of its obligations under this Contract, including but not limited to:
8.1.1 An Act of God (such as but not limited to fires, explosions, earthquakes, drought, tidal waves and floods);
8.1.2 war, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), invasion, the act of foreign enemies, mobilisation, requisition, or embargo;
8.1.3 rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power, or civil war;
8.1.4 riot, commotion, strikes, lock outs or disorder unless solely restricted to employees of the Supplier or of his Sub-contractors; or
8.1.5 boycotting by participants or agents or employees or
8.1.6 pandemics, widespread or localised disease outbreaks, a shutdown of air traffic; or
8.1.7 acts or threats of terrorism; or
8.1.8 veterinary restrictions
8.1.9 A smash race where less than 10% of pigeons returned after the 5th day of liberation.
8.2 Suppose Force Majeure is declared at any time before Race 5. In that case, the participant shall be given the option to be paid a full refund or receive a credit for activations for the following race season.
8.3 In the event of Force Majeure being declared after Race 5, the organisers will pay out the prize money and refund the participants' activation fee as follows:
8.3.1 After Race 5 but before Race 6 – 50% of the prize money will be paid out, and 50% of the activation fee will be refunded.
8.3.2 After Race 6 but before Race 7 – 60% of the prize money will be paid out, and 40% of the activation fee will be refunded.
8.3.3 After Race 7 but before Race 8 – 70% of the prize money will be paid out, and 30% of the activation fee will be refunded.
8.3.4 After Race 8 but before Race 9 – 80% of the prize money will be paid out, and 20% of the activation fee will be refunded.
8.3.5 After Race 9 but before Race 10 (The Final Race) – 90% of the prize money will be paid out, and 10% of the activation fee will be refunded.
- Auctions of Pigeons
9.1 All pigeons returning from the final race will be sold by live, virtual, or online auctions. After the auction commission has been paid, the auction proceeds and expenses will be split 50% to the participant and 50% to the organisers unless the participant supplies no pedigrees; the organiser will receive 100% of the proceeds.
9.2 All participants must upload the pedigrees of all their remaining pigeons in their AFRIKAPRO fancier portal before the final race. Any participant who fails to comply with this clause will forfeit any proceeds from the post-race auctions.
9.3 Standard auction rules will apply, and the buyer must pay the auction amount to the organisers within 73 hours of the close of the auction.
9.4 All expenses related to housing and shipping pigeons bought on the auctions will be for the buyer's account.
The above terms and conditions and the application form on the AFRIKAPRO website constitute the agreement between the organisers and the participant. Any dispute will be resolved subject to the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
These Terms and Conditions are subject to change by AFRIKAPRO organizers without prior notice. Entrants are responsible for staying informed about any updates or modifications to these Terms. By entering the Series, Entrants acknowledge that they have read and agree to comply with these Terms.
