3.2 The Entrant shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms in full by entering a Competition. The Entrant must therefore read these terms in full prior to entering a Competition.
3.3 We may update or replace these Terms at any time and without notice. Any change to the Terms shall not apply to any Competition on Our Website which has commenced at the relevant time unless (i) We have not received Entries to such Competition at that time or (ii) the change is minor or purely administrative.
4. COMPETITION ELIGIBILITY
4.1 Our Competitions are open to individuals aged 18 and over.
4.2 Although our Competitions are marketed to Entrants within the United Kingdom, Entrants who reside outside of the United Kingdom are not prevented from entering Competitions, subject to any controls which are imposed by our e-commerce provider and any legal restrictions on dealing with sanctioned countries. However, Entrants from outside the United Kingdom:

5. COMPETITION & PRIZE DETAILS
5.1 The Prize for each Competition shall be as described on the Competition Page.
5.2 Whilst We shall endeavour to describe each Prize as accurately as reasonably possible, the Entrant acknowledges that opinions which We express about the quality, performance and value of a Prize are subjective. If any specific details about a Prize are particularly important to an Entrant, they must make their own enquiries to satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the Prize before entering the Competition.
5.3 In some cases, We shall offer the option of a Cash Alternative. However, the Competition Winner shall have no entitlement to a Cash Alternative unless We have advertised its availability on the Competition Page or otherwise offered it at our entire discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cash Alternative shall not necessarily be identical in amount to the advertised value of a physical Prize.
5.4 When publishing the details of a Competition, We shall specify the Entry Fee, the total number of available Entries, opening Date, opening Time, closing date and closing time of the Competition.
5.5 Whilst the standard Entry Fee shall be fixed for the term of a Competition, We may offer early bird discounts, special offers and multi-buy discounts at any time. Any such discounts and offers shall not apply retrospectively.
5.6 We may change the opening date or closing date of the Competition where we consider it reasonable to do so and any such variation shall be published on the Competition Page. In particular, We may (i) bring the closing date of a Competition forward once We have sold all of the available Entries for that Competition or (ii) delay the closing date of a Competition by up to six weeks if We have not reached the Threshold for that Competition.
5.7 If We do not reach Our Threshold for a Competition, We shall decide whether or not to extend the Closing Date. If We decide not to extend the Closing Date or if We extend the Closing Date but still do not reach the Threshold, We may then withdraw the Prize and any Cash Alternative which We have advertised. In such circumstances, we shall offer a substitute prize, which shall be a cash payment equivalent to 80% of the net revenue which We have earned from the Competition after deducting our card processing/transaction fees and any taxes.
6. REGISTERING FOR AN ACCOUNT
6.1 Entrants must have registered for an account on Our Website to enter a Competition. Entrants shall not be charged for registering for an account.
6.2 Entrants are responsible for ensuring that they provide the correct email address and contact telephone number when registering with Us. We shall not be liable for any failure by an Entrant to provide the correct contact information.
7. PAID ENTRY METHOD
7.1 To enter a Competition through the Website, an Entrant must answer the Competition Question, select the number of Entries which they wish to purchase and complete the online checkout process by paying the Entry Fee for each Entry. The Entry Fee must be paid by credit or debit card using the card payment service on Our Website. Payments by cash, cheque, postal order, electronic funds transfer or by another other method are not acceptable.
7.2 Following an Entry, We shall email the Entrant to confirm receipt of their Entry and to notify them of their Ticket Number(s). For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of a ticket number does not necessarily mean that the Entrant answered the question correctly but, if a ticket is drawn and the question had been answered incorrectly, the provisions of clause 10.4 will apply. If an Entrant does not receive an email with their Ticket Number(s), they should check their Spam or Junk folders before contacting us.
7.3 We may specify an upper limit on the number of Entries which an individual Entrant may purchase for a Competition. Any such limit shall be specified on the Competition Page.

7.5 Ticket Numbers are allocated immediately upon completion of the checkout process on our Website. Entrants shall have no right to cancel their Entry or any entitlement to a refund of their Entry Fee unless We close a Competition without holding a Draw.
7.6 Entrants must not attempt to avoid any maximum Entry number which We specify for a Competition by using multiple accounts, multiple addresses or by entering a Competition in someone else’s name.

8.3 Any non-compliant, incomplete, damaged, defaced or illegible Postal Entries shall be deemed to be ineligible and discarded.
8.4 A Postal Entrant may submit one Postal Entry per Competition. Duplicate submissions and bulk submissions within the same envelope or package shall not be accepted.
8.5 Postal Entrants must not use multiple accounts to submit multiple Postal Entries. If We identify any such behaviour, We reserve the right to cancel all relevant Postal Entries.
8.6 We shall not acknowledge Postal Entries upon receipt but shall allocate ticket numbers to properly submitted Postal Entries as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event at least once every seven Business Days. To prevent manipulation of the Draw odds through the deliberate submission of incorrect answers, We shall only allocate a Ticket Number to Postal Entries which have the correct answer to the Competition Question. When We allocate a Ticket Number, the Postal Entrant shall be sent an automated email from Us.
8.7 We shall not be liable if any Postal Entry is lost in the post, if the Postal Entrant fails to pay the correct postage for the Postal Entry, or if it is received after the Competition has closed. In particular, Postal Entrants must note that we may bring forward the Closing Date of a Competition under clause 5.5. Postal Entrants should therefore submit their Postal Entry at the earliest opportunity.
