3. The Prize

3.1 The prize is as specified in the interaction information. Unless otherwise stated in the interaction information, each entrant is limited to winning one prize per Competition.

3.2 The prize is subject to availability and to winner confirmation, i.e., the Promoter has managed to contact the winner and confirm eligibility. The prize is also subject to the terms and conditions of the prize provider, their agents, and where applicable to the terms of the venue and/or the manufacturer.

3.3 Any prize elements including travel and/or accommodation will be subject to availability. Certain dates may be excluded when the winner may not take up the prize. Where the prize involves travel or accommodation on a date and/or to a destination to be chosen by the winner, the Promoter reserves the right to determine a final date by which the prize must be taken. Where the prize necessitates travel and/or attending an event on a specific date, the winner must be available on the date(s) specified by the Promoter in the interaction information and no alternative dates will be available.

3.4 Unless otherwise specified, all elements relating to a prize including travel and/or accommodation, must be taken up during one period, and not on non-consecutive dates. The winner (and their companion(s) if applicable) will be required to hold a valid passport, any required visas and/or other necessary travel documentation. Where the prize relates to travel for more than one person, the winner and their companion(s) must travel together, departing from and returning to the same location at the same time and on the same itinerary. The prize provider and/or their agents cannot guarantee that seats will be adjacent to each other.

3.5 Any cash prizes will be sent via PayPal in pounds sterling unless the Competition terms specify otherwise. In these cases, the user will receive an email from PayPal with instructions on how to claim their prize. The Promoter will aim to upload the prize to PayPal to be paid within 7 days of the prize being claimed by the individual. Where the prize includes a cheque, voucher or gift card, such prize will also be made payable in pounds sterling in the name of the winning entrant only and such cheque, voucher, or gift card cannot be made payable to any third party. No other form of payment than that indicated in the interaction information will be provided to the winner.

3.6 The Promoter, prize provider, the issuer of the vouchers or gift cards and their agents reserve the right to refuse to accept vouchers and/or gift cards which are deemed to have been tampered with, defaced, duplicated, damaged or which otherwise are suspected to be affected by fraud or which have been lost or stolen following delivery.

3.7 The winner (and where applicable, their companion(s)) is (are) required to comply with all instructions and requirements as may be specified by the Promoter or any authorised third party to receive and/or take up the prize, including but not limited to providing responses within specified time frames, adhering to the itinerary, completing any required forms, and delivering any required documentation. The Promoter will not be liable to the winner or any other persons where they fail to comply with such instructions and such failure may result in forfeiture of the prize

3.8 The winner (and where applicable, their companion(s)) may be required to provide their signature as proof of their agreement to relevant waivers, releases and/or consents when taking up the prize. Failure to sign any relevant documentation may result in forfeiture of the prize.

3.9 The prize excludes all other costs and arrangements not expressly included in the prize (as stated in the interaction information). Additional charges and expenses incurred for goods, services, attractions, facilities, upgrades, activities, and events not expressly included in the prize are payable solely by the winner (and where applicable their companion(s)). The Promoter will not be held liable where such charges and/or expenses are incurred, and no refund or reimbursement will be made. The Promoter will accept no responsibility where the winner is unable to pay in full any such charges and/or expenses.

3.10 For delivery of the prize, you may be required to be available at a specified time and place.

3.11 No cash equivalent (where applicable) or alternative prize will be given at the request of the winner and the prize is non-transferable and non-exchangeable. If the winner decides to take up and then sell on the prize (where such onward sale is permitted) the Promoter will not be required to provide any guidance on such sale, and the winner acknowledges that the onward sale price may be lower than the retail or advertised price. However, the Promoter reserves the right to change the prize or any part of the prize to an alternative of equal or greater value for any reason at its’ sole discretion including without limitation due to circumstances beyond its control or if any part of the prize becomes unavailable. If for any reason the winner chooses not to take up the prize or any part of the prize, the Promoter reserves the right to ask the winner to confirm this in writing and, whether such confirmation is received or not, the Promoter will be able to retain or dispose of the prize (or part of the prize) at its own discretion.

3.12 The Promoter may refuse to provide a prize, or seek its recovery, in the event of non- entitlement under the interaction terms and conditions or an entrant’s breach of the interaction terms and conditions, fraud or dishonesty.

3.13 Unless the prize is time critical (as set out in section 5.3), the Promoter or prize provider(s) endeavour to deliver the prize to the winner within twenty-eight (28) days from the date of winner confirmation unless stated otherwise in the interaction information. If the prize is time critical the Promoter or the prize provider(s) endeavour to deliver the prize to the winner as soon as reasonably practicable before the necessary time to take up the prize.

3.14 The Promoter, prize provider and their agents will not be liable where a prize has been lost, damaged or stolen following delivery and such prize will not be replaced.

4. Winner Selection

4.1 Where the winner is randomly selected, the draw for the winner will take place within one week of the closing date and time for all entries unless otherwise specified in the interaction information. Unless stated otherwise in the interaction information, the winner will be the first entry drawn at random from all valid entries, subject to eligibility and winner confirmation. Where the winner is not randomly selected, the interaction information will detail the judging criteria on which the winning entry will be selected. 

5. Winner Contact

5.1 General Contact: The winner will be contacted as soon as practicable on or after the draw date or judging date (as appropriate) as indicated in the interaction information. Reasonable efforts will be made to contact a winner via a notification within the App, the email address associated with their account, or such other method of contact deemed appropriate by the Promoter in its sole discretion in the circumstances.

5.2 Unless the prize is time critical or time sensitive, the Promoter will try to contact the winner over a 28-day period. It is not the responsibility of the Promoter if the recipient does not see the email sent.

5.3 Time critical: Where the prize must be taken up within 1 month of the close date of the Competition, the Competition will be considered “time critical”. As a winner needs to be found before the time to take up the prize passes, the interaction information will indicate the date(s) when entrants must be contactable and the Promoter will try to contact the winner via the email address (or other method of contact (if appropriate)) provided during that period and, if none specified, 7 days.

5.4 If the winner cannot be contacted or successful contact is not made within the time periods set out in clauses 5.1 to 5.3 above or as otherwise set out in the interaction information (as applicable) or if the winner fails to meet any of the eligibility requirements or is otherwise unable to comply with the interaction terms and conditions, this may result in forfeiture of the prize and the Promoter reserves the right to disqualify that entrant (without further liability to that entrant) and offer the prize to the next eligible entrant and thereafter until a winner is found. Alternatively, the Promoter reserves the right to repurpose the prize for a different prize or Competition if considered more appropriate.

5.5 Any entrant and/or winner must comply with any directions given to him or her by the Promoter, prize provider(s) and/or their agents and with all relevant laws, rules and regulations, restrictions, and itinerary. Failure to comply with instructions, itineraries, rules, restrictions, requirements, laws, and guidelines may result in an invalid entry and/or forfeiture of the prize.

5.6 Some interactions will enable the winner to claim their prize directly through the App. Entrants should refer to individual interaction information for further details. When claiming their prize through the App, the user must claim their prize within 30 days of the result being published. Any prize which has not been claimed 30 days after publication can be considered “expired” and the individual will no longer be able to claim the prize unless the Promoter decides otherwise.

5.7 The user will claim the prize into their in App ‘Wallet’. The users accumulated winnings in the ‘Wallet’ must be claimed by the end of 6 months, or before the user closes their account. When claiming their prize, the individual is responsible for providing accurate delivery information. If the user does not provide accurate delivery information (including bank details, PayPal email address, or physical address), either the Promoter, or any other prize provider, is not responsible for the prize not arriving with the individual and is not obligated to send a replacement prize. 

6. Manipulation of Services

6.1 The Promoter is committed to operating Competitions, fairly and to prevent abuse of its systems, as well as those of its agents and sub-contractors.

6.2 For this reason, the Promoter reserves the right to disqualify and/or discount entries if they have reasonable grounds to suspect, at their sole discretion, with regard to all the circumstances and information available at the relevant time, any of the following:

6.2.1 Activity has occurred that is designed to excessively manipulate the outcome of a Competition; or

6.2.2 Entries have been made in breach of the interaction terms and conditions; or

6.2.4 The making or disguising of multiple entries or votes by an individual entrant.
