LEASE SHARE
  1. A lease provides racehorse and racing experiences for a fixed period of time. For contracts prior to 18th January 2021 a lease provides racehorse and racing experiences for the fixed period of time as noted on the product page. Post 18th January 2021 a lease provides racehorse and racing experiences for the duration of time that payments are kept up to date and paid. Failure to make a monthly payment will terminate the contract. Whilst some racehorses turn out to be brilliant performers and increase in value, the majority do not and therefore the purchase of a share must not be treated as an investment expense. It is an entertainment. Furthermore, because a racehorse is a living creature, there can never be any guarantee that he or she will perform sufficiently well enough to win races or to even make a racecourse appearance.
  2. The lease cannot be sub-divided.
  3. The lease cannot be purchased by a person under the age of 18.
  4. The company alone determines how many leases it permits for each horse or horses.

Lease shares may not be charged or offered or granted as security to anyone other than to the company. Lease shares may not be subject to any third party rights or interests.
  7. In acquiring a lease a Member does not acquire a share in the company or the company’s business. The legal and beneficial ownership of the business shall at all times remain vested with the company absolutely.
  8. A Member must only use his/her lease for personal enjoyment and must not use the Share for any commercial purpose.
  9. Where a lease is being purchased as a gift for someone else, the donor of the gift is required to nominate a recipient (at the time of payment) who shall be a person over the age of 18 and at the point of purchase, the nominated recipient shall automatically become the owner of the lease and shall be bound by Let’s Get Racing / club terms and conditions. All ownership rights shall belong to the nominated recipient of the gift. This means that payments from Let’s Get Racing, including, for example; share of prize money and VAT refunds (where applicable) will become due to the recipient, even though the recipient did not make the purchase. Renewals will be sent to the nominated recipient of the gift.
  10. In the event of the death of a Member, prior to the dissolution of the syndicate, all rights and liabilities attached to that lease shall pass to the personal representatives of that Member’s estate.
  11. The price payable by the Member for the lease covers all costs associated with training the racehorse, for the duration of the term of the syndicate. The price covers no other costs.
  12. Before the lease period is due to expire, the company will give an opinion (a guide) as to whether or not the horse should be retained and a new syndicate formed. Members will then be invited to make a decision whether or not to continue into the next syndicate period.

  17. A Member can request the company to pay the whole or part of any credit held in the Member’s account at any time after 30th November after the completion of a full year of ownership. Such payment shall be made by cheque or bank transfer and subject to the deduction of a £25 fee (plus VAT) to cover the cost of administration, postage and bank charges.
  18. The company reserves the right to offer the horse for sale at public auction for any reason whatsoever and at any time.
  19.  When club horse(s) are leased, if sold, the company will endeavour to find a replacement(s) as quickly as possible
EQUITY SHARE
  1. An equity share provides racehorse and racing experiences for the racing career of the horse. Failure to make a monthly payment will terminate the contract with no refund of the initial upfront fee. Whilst some racehorses turn out to be brilliant performers and increase in value, the majority do not and therefore the purchase of a share must not be treated as an investment expense.

  8. A Member must only use his/her share for personal enjoyment and must not use the Share for any commercial purpose.
  9. Where a share is being purchased as a gift for someone else, the donor of the gift is required to nominate a recipient (at the time of payment) who shall be a person over the age of 18 and at the point of purchase, the nominated recipient shall automatically become the owner of the share and shall be bound by Let’s Get Racing Ltd terms and conditions. All ownership rights shall belong to the nominated recipient of the gift. This means that payments from Let’s Get Racing Ltd, including, for example; share of prize money and VAT refunds (where applicable) will become due to the recipient, even though the recipient did not make the purchase. Renewals will be sent to the nominated recipient of the gift.
  10. In the event of the death of a Member, prior to the dissolution of the syndicate, all rights and liabilities attached to that share shall pass to the personal representatives of that Member’s estate.

PayPal will notify members by email that the company have debited your credit/debit card and that the names member has been granted access to the Service. The email message will constitute our acceptance of your request to access the Service.

Conversely, Members are not asked for any additional payments where the company incurs costs greater than the price paid by the Members during each term of the syndicate. The price payable by the Member for the share, covers costs associated with training the racehorse, for the duration of the term of the syndicate, save for any costs involved in racing outside of Great Britain (racehorse transport, farrier, race entry, vets costs, supplements, trainer/jockey/groom/admin costs/racing silks/racing equipment/racing associated medical costs) Let’s Get Racing Ltd representative expenses) and Group/Listed/Graded race entry fees in Great Britain, which shall be deducted (at cost price) from the total net prize money accrued by the horse. In the event that the costs for Group/Listed/Graded races are not covered by overall prize money won by the relevant horse in the syndicate period, the loss will be absorbed by Let’s Get Racing Ltd and therefore no further payment will be required from any Member, in any event.

MISCELLANEOUS
  1. Most racecourses impose restrictions on the number of people allowed into the paddock and winner’s enclosure for health and safety reasons. When the number of Members who want to attend exceed the racecourse’s figures, a ballot will be held to determine place allocation and any complimentary badges supplied by the racecourse will be given away to Members. The quantity of persons permitted to enter the paddock area is controlled by the racecourse and is limited to those persons who have been allocated an ‘owners’ badge’ for that particular race only. Entry costs to the racecourse are normally the responsibility of the Member. Members may not enter the pre-parade ring area, even if they are in possession of an owner’s badge. Note: the pre-parade ring is the area where horses are saddled and then paraded, before they make their way into the paddock area. Persons entering any area of the racecourse on an unauthorised basis may be reported to the Stewards and this could result in a racecourse ban.
  2. Any member who is granted a racecourse ‘owners’ badge’ agrees to abide by the racecourse dress code. Owners’ badges are limited and distributed according to the ballot held by Let’s Get Racing.
  3. Stable visits are organised from time to time and are published in advance in the monthly communications. These can sometimes become oversubscribed, particularly with the top trainers. Early application is therefore advised but no guarantee of a place can be made. A member can bring one guest (more at some visits) but there maybe an entrance charge for each guest. Some stable visits are not entirely suitable for disabled visitors and therefore accessibility needs to be checked prior to booking.
  4. The company may from time to time take photographs or video footage at the racecourse, event or at a stable event. By attending such an event, Members accept that such photography may take place and that it may be used by the trainer and company in the public domain with no payment made to any participant. Members not wishing to appear, need to position themselves behind the camera but there are still no guarantees of exclusion. Members also need to be aware that various television companies will show live or recorded scenes at our events, racecourse or at a trainer’s yard.
  5. Where a declared horse becomes a non-runner in a race, we will endeavour to relay this information to members as soon as possible, but there could be occasions where we are unable to do this. All decisions relating to entries and declarations are made by the trainer, meaning a horse becoming a non-runner and we cannot accept any responsibility or liability in relation to a horse not running in a race. A horse can be withdrawn from a race for a number of reasons, including the health/fitness of the horse, or a change to the ‘official going’ (ground conditions).
  6. All Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights relating to the image and name of any horse, the company name, logo and the racing colours are and shall remain legally and beneficially vested with the company alone.
RACE PRIZE MONEY / TROPHIES
  1. Race prize money (the sum paid by Weatherby’s in accordance with the rules of horse racing) is distributed amongst the Members of the syndicate concerned once a year and the club manager will issue all members a summary of prize money payable, adjusted for months paid in members lease/equity share period.  Where a sum in excess of £ 200,000 accrues, in which case distribution shall be made within a reasonable period from the date of the company’s receipt from Weatherby’s bank.
  2. Where a horse does not live up to expectations on the racecourse, or fails to ever make it to the racecourse, the Members shall not be entitled to any refund. However, where prolonged training is not in the best interest of the welfare of the horse, the company will recommend premature closure of the syndicate.
  3. Coco Starlight – once the trainer, jockey and yard staff, 10% of what is left will be donated to the Brain Tumour charity, and the remaining funds (net of racing expenses) will be paid based on shares.
  4. Surplus prize money is payable annually in November and is net of all racing expenses. (racehorse transport, farrier, race entry, vets costs, supplements, trainer/jockey/groom/admin costs/racing silks/racing equipment/racing associated medical costs)
 
THE TRAINER
  1. Choice of trainer shall be vested with the company alone. The company may decide to change trainer for any reason whatsoever.
  2. All decisions relating to training and racing are normally placed in the charge of the trainer whilst the horse is in his/her care and with the Racing Managers. (Note: the company believes that an appointed trainer will be best placed to make assessments relating to racing and welfare issues. Indeed, the company pays the trainer for his or her professional services and therefore normally does not interfere; however, the company reserves the right to override any decision made by the trainer).
 
ENFORCEABILITY
  1. If at any time one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any law or is held by a court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions
