I/we, the person/s making this declaration on behalf of the organisation named in the application for funding under the AGL Community Grants Program, declare and agree that:
• the information contained in this application is true and correct to the best of my/our knowledge, information and belief;
• The organisation as at the date of this declaration is not in breach of any of its legal and regulatory obligations; and,
• the decision of the AGL Community Grants panel (Panel) and AGL Energy Limited in relation to the application is final, and that no correspondence will be entered into if the application is unsuccessful.
Further, should the organisation be successful in being awarded funding, I/we undertake to AGL Energy Limited to expend the funding monies in accordance with this application and the terms set out under the AGL Community Grants Guidelines section in this document (which I/we have read and understood), and the provisions below.
I/we agree that the organisation will acknowledge AGL Energy Limited as the source of the funding in any marketing material or public notices or announcements relating to the project, and that such marketing material or public notices or announcements (and the use of AGL Energy Limited’s logo or reference to AGL Energy Limited in any media release or public notice) must be approved by AGL Energy Limited prior to release.
I/we agree that it is a condition of funding that AGL Energy Limited has an unrestricted right to make public announcements about its involvement in the project and grants AGL a non-exclusive, royalty-free and non-transferable licence to use the applicant’s intellectual property solely for the purposes of exercising its right to make public announcements about its involvement in the project.
I/we agree that the organisation will evaluate the project against the objectives and expected outcomes set out in the application, or as otherwise agreed with AGL Energy Limited at the conclusion of the project or, if shorter, the end of the funding period. I/we agree to provide a report including the evaluation to the Panel. For funding that extends over one year, the applicant agrees to submit a report and evaluation at six monthly intervals, for discussion by the Panel.
If required by AGL Energy Limited I/we will arrange for the organisation to enter into a more detailed Funding Agreement and provide evidence of reasonable public liability insurance.
I/we undertake to return to AGL Energy Limited any portion of the funding monies that are not expended on the project. At AGL’s reasonable direction, I/we undertake to take immediate steps to return the funding monies in instances where there has been a deliberate and wilful breach of the organisation’s legal and regulatory obligations.
I/we undertake to provide evidence of the use of any funding monies in accordance with the terms et out under the AGL Community Grants Guidelines section of this document by forwarding to AGL copies of receipts (up to the value of the funding) relating to any purchases made with the funding monies.
I/we acknowledge and agree that AGL Energy Limited has an unrestricted right to make public announcements about its involvement in any project funded or partially funded by AGL Energy Limited, and that I/we will comply with any request by AGL Energy Limited to protect its brand or logo. This right authorises AGL (acting in its absolute discretion) to take a lead role in responding to any instance where it is alleged or proven that the organisation is in breach of its legal and regulatory obligations.
