Eligibility & Entry
- Entry is open to residents in the Competition Area aged 18 years or over or who have the consent of their legal guardian (Entrants). Employees, immediate family members, retailers, suppliers, associated companies and agencies related to the Promoter are not eligible to enter in the Competition.
- To enter the Competition, Entrants must complete the Entry Procedure during the Competition Period. Entries may only be submitted in accordance with the Entry Procedure and will not be accepted by the Promoter in any other form.

- Incomplete and ineligible entries will be deemed invalid. Entries will also be deemed invalid if they breach these Terms as determined by the Promoter or any other content guidelines notified by the Promoter during completion of the Entrant’s completion of the Entry Procedure.
- The Promoter reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of entries and Entrants (including an Entrant’s identity, age and place of residence) and to disqualify any Entrant. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights.
Prize Draw
- The draw to determine the winning Entrant(s) for the Competition will be conducted in accordance with the Draw Details. The Prize(s) will be awarded to the Entrant(s) in accordance with the Draw Details, provided the Entrant has complied with the Entry Procedure.
- Each day during the Competition is deemed a separate competition, and the same entrant may win a Prize across multiple days of the Competition.
- The winning Entrant will be notified by email and/or telephone as soon as practicable after the Prize Draw, using the telephone number or email address provided with the Competition entry.
- The Promoter must either publish or make available information that indicates that a valid award took place. To comply with this obligation the Promoter will send the surname and county of major prize winners and, if applicable copies of their winning entries, to anyone who emails the Promoter’s email address in the Competition Details or writes to the address set out in the Competition Details (enclosing a self-addressed envelope) within 1 month after the End Date.
- If the Entrant objects to any or all of your surname, county and winning entry being published or made available, please contact the Promoter using the address details in the Promotion Details.

- Entrants are responsible for any and all expenses incurred when entering the Competition and accessing, claiming and/or using the Prize (unless otherwise stated on the Site).
- As the Competition is a game of chance, and subject otherwise to these Terms, skill plays no part in determining the winning Entrant and each valid entry will NOT be individually judged. Each entry has an equal chance of winning. The winning Entrant will be confirmed by the Promoter. The Promoter’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into with Entrants regarding the decision.
- In the event that a winning Entrant’s entry is deemed or found to be invalid, the Promoter may redraw or decide on another winning entry.
