3.1 accept as final, and agree to be bound by, all of the applicable rules as set out in these terms & conditions and/or as set out in any competition publicity, notices or correspondence;

3.2 agree that the decision of the judges is final and accept that We will not enter into any correspondence regarding the decision of the judges; and

3.3 confirm that you are eligible to enter the competition and are eligible to claim the prize. We may require you to provide proof that you are eligible to enter the competition (such as proof of age).

6. Whether or not purchase is necessary in order to enter a competition will be specified on the competition-specific terms & conditions.

7. Late illegible, incomplete, defaced or corrupt entries or entries sent through agencies and/or third parties will not be accepted. We do not accept responsibility or liability for lost, mislaid, damaged or delayed entries and proof of despatch will not be accepted as proof of receipt and/or posting. We will not be responsible for the non-inclusion of entries as a result of technical failures or otherwise, regardless of cause including, for example, as a result of any postal failure, equipment failure, technical malfunction, systems, satellite, network, server, computer hardware or software failure of any kind.

8. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable competition-specific terms & conditions, the winner for each draw will be drawn at random from all properly received entries in accordance with these terms & conditions and any competition-specific terms & conditions.

9. We will use reasonable endeavours to contact each winner within seven days of the closing date of the prize draw they have won. If We are unable to contact a winner during this time or if a winner is unable to accept the prize, We reserve the right to award the prize to an alternative winner, drawn in accordance with these terms and conditions.

10. We do not accept any responsibility or liability if you are not able to take up the prize.

11. The prizes as described are available on the date of publication and unless otherwise stated will not include transport or accommodation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, We accept no responsibility for any loss, injury, or damage suffered through the acceptance of the prize.

12. One winning entrant in each draw will win the stated prize unless otherwise stated. We may substitute the prizes for a prize of an equal or greater value if, for any reason, the original item is unavailable. All prizes are subject to availability, are non-negotiable, non-transferable and there are no cash alternatives. If you are the winner of the competition, you agree that We may use your name, image and town or county of residence to announce the winner of the competition and for any other reasonable and related promotional purposes.

13. Events may occur that render the prize draw itself or the awarding of the prize impossible due to reasons beyond Our control and accordingly We may at Our absolute discretion vary or amend the promotion without liability to you.
