MEDIA ACCREDITATION TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR NON-RIGHTS HOLDERS

         Set out below are the media accreditation terms and conditions (“Accreditation Terms and Conditions”) for the ICC World Twenty20 Sri Lanka 2012 (the “Event”). The Event is scheduled to be played in Sri Lanka from 12th September to 7th October 2012 (inclusive of official warm-up matches).

         All personnel intending to attend the Event as a media representative MUST complete the relevant Accreditation form online, including an acknowledgement by the Applicant that he/she agrees to be bound by these Accreditation Terms and Conditions. All media Accreditation applications must also include one electronic head and shoulders photograph of the Applicant and, if requested by or on behalf of IDI, a letter of endorsement from the Applicant's employer certifying that the Applicant is attending the Event for legitimate work reasons. The Applicant and his/her employer (if any) acknowledge and agree that separate Accreditation is required in respect of different media (including, without limitation, print media, internet, radio, television and photography) and applications are not transferable, provided that where an Applicant performs a dual function they may apply for Accreditation in respect of each function and these Accreditation Terms and Conditions shall apply in respect of each such function.

         Applicants will be advised whether or not their application for Accreditation has been approved by email or other appropriate method of communication. Neither IDI nor the Host will be responsible for non-notification of Applicants who provide inaccurate email addresses or contact details.

         Accreditations will be issued in Sri Lanka (the locations of the accreditation collection centres will be announced by IDI in due course). No application for Accreditation will be considered unless it is made online on the appropriate form.

         If required, and at the request of the Applicant, the Event office will provide, to the appropriate authority, a letter in support of a visa application for any successful Applicant for Accreditation. However, all Applicants acknowledge that this letter is not, in itself, a guarantee of successfully securing an entry visa to visit the Host Country for the Event. Any visa applications should be made sufficiently in advance of the Event. It is the sole responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that he/she has made the necessary visa arrangements for travel to the Host Country which the Applicant intends to visit during the Event.

         Accreditation, if granted by IDI, will be subject to the Applicant complying strictly with the full Accreditation Terms and Conditions. Failure to abide by the Accreditation Terms and Conditions could result in the Accreditation of the Applicant (and the Accreditation of anyone else employed by or representing the Applicant’s employer) being revoked for the whole or any part of the Event.

         Kindly make and retain a copy of the completed Accreditation form for your reference.
