Competition Terms and Conditions

These terms apply to competitions run by the station. They are a starting point and must be reviewed, completed and checked before any competition is promoted. Replace anything in square brackets.

1. The promoter

The promoter is [station name], [registered address]. Any questions about a competition should be sent to [contact email].

2. Who can enter

Entrants must be [18] or over and resident in the United Kingdom. Where a competition is limited to a particular area, that area is stated on the competition page. Employees of the station, of any company involved in the competition, and their immediate families, may not enter.

3. How to enter

Entry is free and no purchase is necessary. Enter using the form on the competition page before the closing time shown there. One entry per person per competition. Entries that are incomplete, or that we reasonably believe to be automated or duplicated, may be rejected.

4. Closing date

The closing time is shown on the competition page. Entries received after that time are not counted. If a competition has to be extended or shortened for reasons outside our control, we will say so on the competition page.

5. The prize

The prize is described on the competition page. There is no cash alternative and the prize is not transferable unless we say otherwise. If a prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside our control, we may substitute a prize of equal or greater value. Prizes are provided subject to any conditions set by the supplier, which are stated with the prize where they apply.

6. How the winner is chosen

Winners are drawn at random from all eligible entries after the closing time, using a random selection process. If a drawn entrant does not meet the conditions of entry, or cannot be contacted within [14] days, we may draw a replacement.

7. Telling the winner

We will contact the winner using the details given at entry, normally within [7] days of the draw. Winners may be asked to confirm their eligibility and their identity before a prize is given out.

8. Publishing the result

We will publish the first name and last initial of each winner on the competition page. The name and county of major prize winners is available on request by writing to us at the address above. An entrant may ask us not to publish their details, or to reduce what is published, by contacting us before the draw, and we will comply where we reasonably can.

9. Your information

The details given at entry are used to run the competition and to contact the winner, and for nothing else unless separate consent is given. Entries are kept for [90] days after the competition closes and are then deleted. Full details of how information is handled are in our privacy policy.

10. Broadcast competitions

Where a competition is also run on air, the rules stated on air and the rules on this page are intended to be the same. If they differ, this page applies, and we will correct the difference as soon as we become aware of it.

11. General

We may cancel or amend a competition where it is necessary to do so, and will publish any change on the competition page. Our decision on any matter relating to a competition is final and no correspondence will be entered into. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

This is placeholder text supplied as a starting point. It is not legal advice. Have it reviewed before running a competition, particularly if the competition is promoted on air or involves a paid entry route.
