When construing the meaning of the Agreement, these Terms shall take priority over any Competition Terms (to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency), unless otherwise expressly stated in the relevant Competition Terms. If you do not agree to the Agreement, you must not use our Website or enter any Competition.

1.4 You should print or save a copy of these Terms for your records. This version 1 of these Terms was last updated on [01/09/2024]. We may revise these Terms from time to time and will post the most current version on this page as soon as possible after the revised Terms become effective. Please check this page periodically (and, in any event, before you participate in each Competition) to ensure you understand the Terms that apply at that time. By continuing to use the Website after the revisions come into effect (including entering into any Competitions), you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. We may also update and change the Website and Competitions from time to time to, amongst other things, reflect changes to our offering, Website, IT systems and/or our users’ needs and/or feedback.

Each Competition has a free entry route available (see section 4.8 below for details of how to enter for free). The availability of a free entry route to enter each Competition means that the Competition does not fall within the definition of an unlawful lottery under the Betting, Gaming, Lotteries & Amusements (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 or of a lottery within Great Britain under the Gambling Act 2005, and can be operated legally in Northern Ireland and Great Britain (respectively) without any need for a licence. All Competitions are also skill-based and require you to correctly answer a Competition question before your Entry is registered.

4.3 Each Competition will run for a specified period. Please see the Competition Terms for each Competition for details of start and end times and dates (Promotion Period(s)).

4.4 Each Competition will have a maximum number of entries which may be purchased (in accordance with section 4.6) or submitted (in accordance with section 4.8) (each being an Entry), as stated in relation to the specific Competition on the Website. Once the last number is taken, no more Entries for that Competition will be accepted.

A random number will be allocated to each correct and valid free Entry, received and confirmed by us, in the same way as for paid Entries. Save as specified in the Agreement or as required by context, all free Entries will be treated in the exact same way as paid Entries.

Where applicable, the Agreement also applies to free Entries and you will be deemed to have accepted the relevant terms when opening an account and again when taking steps to enter the Competition.
