# Event regulations and consent

During registration you may need to accept **event regulations**, privacy terms, or custom consent checkboxes before your entry is confirmed.

## At registration

Common items:

- **Competition regulations** — rules, cutoff times, disqualification grounds
- **Liability / participation terms** — standard DistantRace or club-specific wording
- **Marketing consent** — optional emails from the organizer (separate from DistantRace system mail)
- **Health or age declarations** — self-certification for minors or medical fitness

Required boxes must be checked to complete registration. Optional marketing consent can be declined without blocking signup.

## Where organizers configure this

Organizers attach regulation text and questions in competition or challenge settings — see [Competition settings reference](../running-events/competition-settings-reference.md) and [Challenge settings reference](../running-events/challenge-settings-reference.md).

## After you register

- Re-read rules on the competition **Info** or **Overview** page
- Contact the [organizer](contact-the-organizer.md) if regulations changed after you signed up
- Marketing preferences may be updated under [Notification preferences](notification-preferences.md) where applicable

## Minors

Events with age limits may require guardian consent — [Age restrictions and children](age-restrictions-and-children.md).
