SWEEPSTARZ LTD – COMPETITION TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“T&Cs”)

THE PROMOTER AND THE T&CS

1. All the competitions on our website (“our Website”): sweepstarz.co.uk are promoted by SWEEPSTARZ LTD of Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk, United Kingdom, IP28 7DE (Co. No. 15392271,"SWEEPSTARZ LTD, we, our, us”). Our email address is [email protected] ("our Email Address"). The address of the Competition Manager for the purposes of paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 is Beth Massey, of Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk, United Kingdom, IP28 7DE . “Paragraph” shall mean a paragraph in the T&Cs.

2. The T&Cs shall apply to all the competitions advertised on Our Website. By submitting a competition entry, you agree to the T&Cs in force at that time. We may occasionally make changes to T&Cs, so please check each time you use Our Website to ensure you are aware of the T&Cs then current.

THE COMPETITION

3. We hold various competitions on Our Website from time to time. Each competition (“the Competition”) is described on its dedicated Competition page (“Competition Page”) on Our Website, which may include information about the maximum number of entries we accept before closure.

HOW TO ENTER

4. The Competition will close at the date and time (“the Closing Date”) indicated on the Competition Page. The term “Closing Date” will refer to the latest possible date.

5. All Competition entries must be received by us by no later than the Closing Date. Any received after the Closing Date will be automatically disqualified.

6. Each Competition entry is assigned a unique number (“Entry Number”) for which a payment must be made (unless the free postal entry route is used), as stated on the Competition Page. There are two ways to obtain an Entry Number:

EITHER

PAID ONLINE COMPETITION

6.1 You may enter the Competition online, via the Competition Page, by paying the stated price per entry. You may either choose or be allocated your Entry Number(s), depending on your preference (each Entry Number representing a separate transaction between us). Note: you will need to register your details by opening a free online account);

FREE POSTAL COMPETITION

6.2 Alternatively, you can enter the Competition without payment by meeting our postal entry requirements set out in Schedule 1 below. We will allocate an Entry Number for each post card received from you (each entry being a separate transaction between us you cannot send in the same envelope). Note: you are still required to open a free online account via the Competition Page and register your details.

In both cases, please review the T&Cs carefully before entering. Entry into the Competition establishes a legally binding contract governed by these T&Cs. We advise that you retain a printed and/or digital copy of these T&Cs for future reference.

7. The winner (“the Winner”) of the Competition—and therefore of the Prize—will be selected from all valid chosen or allocated Entry Numbers through a process of random selection. This selection will be carried out either by:

A random number generator (for example, Google’s random number generator, www.random.org, or similar technology); or
A randomised game of chance conducted to ensure integrity and fairness, broadcast during the live draw.

8. Entries submitted via the paid online route are non-refundable, except in the event that We cancel the Competition (see Paragraph 9 for details).

9.1 cancel any Competition in the event of a force majeure event (as defined in Schedule 2), in which case all entry fees will be refunded; or
