Rebuilt for Distance
Terms and Sponsorship Conditions
Last updated: 1 June 2026
These Terms and Sponsorship Conditions govern the use of the website www.rebuiltfordistance.com as well as sponsorship enquiries, sponsorship contributions and individually agreed sponsorship relationships around Rebuilt for Distance.
1. Operator
Rebuilt for Distance is a private project operated by:
Rebuilt for Distance / RFD Bufalino
Christian Bufalino
Im Freienstein 8A
8330 Pfäffikon ZH
Switzerland
Contact: contact@rebuiltfordistance.com
Sponsorship and partnerships: sponsoring@rebuiltfordistance.com
2. Purpose of the website
Rebuilt for Distance documents a personal private project around rehabilitation, athletic rebuild, an ultra-trail goal, personal development, a book project, inspiration and public documentation.
The website primarily provides information about the project and supports the search for sponsors and partners who want to support this private project.
Rebuilt for Distance is not an online shop for standardised goods or services and is not a tax-exempt charitable organisation unless expressly confirmed otherwise in writing.
3. Scope
These conditions apply to:
- use of the website;
- contact and sponsorship enquiries;
- sponsorship contributions;
- payments via Stripe or individually agreed payment channels;
- individually confirmed sponsorship agreements;
- newsletters or email communication, where offered.
Deviating written agreements, in particular individual sponsorship contracts or writtenly confirmed performance commitments, take precedence over these conditions.
4. Sponsorship contributions
Sponsorship contributions support the private Rebuilt for Distance project. They may in particular cover costs for training, rehabilitation, equipment, entry fees, travel, accommodation, website, content production, book project, communication, organisation and project-related infrastructure.
A sponsorship contribution is not an investment, not a loan, not an equity participation, not a purchase of shares and not a promise of return.
A sponsorship contribution is also not a tax-confirmed donation to a tax-exempt organisation. Rebuilt for Distance does not ensure tax deductibility and does not provide tax advice.
The tax, social security and VAT treatment of sponsorship contributions is governed by the applicable legal requirements and is not conclusively determined by these terms.
5. No automatic consideration
A payment, enquiry or contact does not create any entitlement without explicit written confirmation to:
- logo placement;
- name mention;
- linking;
- social media mention;
- website mention;
- video or image integration;
- exclusivity;
- reporting;
- reach;
- publication;
- participation in decisions;
- specific sporting results;
- book publication;
- continuation of the project in a specific form.
Visibility, placements, mentions, terms, content, consideration or partnerships arise only if they are confirmed in writing or regulated in a separate sponsorship agreement.
6. Acceptance or rejection of sponsors
Rebuilt for Distance may accept or reject sponsorship enquiries without giving reasons.
Sponsors may in particular be rejected if they do not fit the values, positioning, health context, public effect or character of the project.
Content or sponsor relationships that are unlawful, misleading, discriminatory, extremist, harmful to health, damaging to reputation or incompatible with the project purpose are not accepted.
If a contribution has been paid and the sponsorship relationship is not accepted, Rebuilt for Distance may refund the contribution. Payment fees or technical fees already incurred may be deducted to the extent legally permissible.
7. Payment via Stripe
Sponsorship contributions may be processed via Stripe or through individually agreed payment channels.
For payments via Stripe, Stripe’s terms and privacy notices also apply. Rebuilt for Distance does not store complete credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank details.
Rebuilt for Distance processes only necessary payment references such as amount, currency, payment status, payment time, invoice or transaction references so that sponsorship contributions can be correctly assigned and documented.
8. Receipts and invoices
Rebuilt for Distance may issue a payment confirmation or receipt on request.
An invoice, sponsorship confirmation or service description is issued only if individually agreed or required for correct processing.
A confirmation of tax deductibility is not issued unless there is a corresponding tax basis.
Any VAT is shown only if there is a legal obligation to do so or if Rebuilt for Distance is registered accordingly.
9. Use of funds
Rebuilt for Distance decides independently on the project-related use of sponsorship contributions.
Sponsorship contributions are not held in trust for individual sponsors. Without explicit written agreement, there is no entitlement to detailed proof of fund use, receipts, budgets or accounts.
10. Project development and risks
Rebuilt for Distance is a long-term private project. Its course may change due to health, injuries, operations, professional pressure, family circumstances, force majeure, organisational reasons or other events.
There is no guarantee for:
- achieving sporting goals;
- participation in specific events;
- specific training performance;
- publication of specific content;
- publication of a book at a specific time;
- media reach;
- social media reach;
- economic benefit for sponsors;
- continuation of individual website functions;
- permanent availability of all content.
Rebuilt for Distance may adjust, pause or end the project, content, goals, schedules, formats and communication channels.
Existing writtenly confirmed sponsorship obligations will be handled as fairly and proportionately as possible. Any further entitlement exists only if agreed in writing or required by mandatory law.
11. Refunds
Sponsorship contributions are generally not refunded unless there is a mandatory legal obligation or Rebuilt for Distance confirms a refund in writing.
A refund may in particular be refused if the contribution has already been used for project-related purposes, agreed visibility has already been provided or the sponsor has breached these conditions.
In the case of obvious erroneous payments, Rebuilt for Distance may review a refund. Payment service provider fees may be deducted to the extent legally permissible.
12. Sponsor materials and rights
If a sponsor provides logos, images, texts, brands, links or other materials, the sponsor confirms that it holds the required rights to them.
The sponsor permits Rebuilt for Distance to use these materials within the agreed scope for the sponsorship relationship, in particular on the website, in social media, in presentations, in videos, in media documents or in project-related communication.
Rebuilt for Distance may technically adapt, crop or format materials where necessary for display and where this does not distort their meaning.
The sponsor remains responsible for ensuring that its details, brands, claims and content are lawful and not misleading.
13. No unauthorised use of the Rebuilt for Distance brand
Sponsors may use the name, logo, images, texts, content or statements of Rebuilt for Distance, Christian Bufalino or the project only if this has been permitted in writing.
Without written consent, no sponsor may create the impression that it is an official partner, main sponsor, supplier, medical partner, strategic partner or exclusive sponsor.
14. Editorial independence
Rebuilt for Distance remains independent in its content, sporting, personal and editorial direction.
Without explicit written agreement, sponsors have no entitlement to influence content, demand publications, control statements or participate in project decisions.
15. Website content
Website content is created carefully. Nevertheless, Rebuilt for Distance does not guarantee completeness, timeliness, accuracy or permanent availability.
Content about training, rehabilitation, nutrition, mindset, leadership or personal development serves personal documentation, inspiration and information. It does not replace medical, physiotherapeutic, psychological, nutritional, legal, tax or financial advice.
16. Health and personal responsibility
The website may contain personal experiences about surgery, rehabilitation, training and athletic rebuild.
This content is not a medical recommendation. Anyone with health questions, pain, injuries, limitations or uncertainty must seek medical or therapeutic advice.
Any implementation of training, movement, nutrition or motivation impulses is done under personal responsibility.
17. Copyright and intellectual property
Texts, images, videos, logos, brands, designs, structures, concepts, content and other elements of Rebuilt for Distance are protected.
Without explicit written consent, content may not be copied, published, edited, sold, automatically scraped, commercially used or presented as one’s own offer.
18. Website availability
Rebuilt for Distance strives for stable website operation. Maintenance, updates, technical disruptions, security measures, hosting problems or external service providers may temporarily restrict availability.
There is no entitlement to uninterrupted access.
19. Privacy
The processing of personal data is governed by the Rebuilt for Distance Privacy Policy.
20. Liability
To the extent legally permissible, Rebuilt for Distance is not liable for indirect damages, consequential damages, lost profit, data loss, reputational damage, lost business opportunities, training consequences or damages arising from the self-responsible implementation of content.
Liability for slight negligence is excluded to the extent legally permissible.
Mandatory legal liability, in particular for intentional or grossly negligent damage, remains reserved.
21. Changes to these conditions
Rebuilt for Distance may adjust these conditions if the offer, project, technology, payment processing, legal requirements or organisational processes change.
The current version is available on the website.
Material changes affecting already writtenly confirmed sponsorship agreements will be communicated appropriately.
22. Severability
If any provision of these conditions is invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
The invalid provision will be replaced by a legally permissible provision that comes as close as possible to the economic and factual purpose.
23. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
Swiss law applies unless mandatory legal provisions provide otherwise.
The place of jurisdiction is, to the extent legally permissible, the domicile or registered office of the operator of Rebuilt for Distance.
