Gen X Radio - Competition Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions are relevant to all Competitions and Giveaways we run on GenX Radio Suffolk. We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time.

ENTRY AND ENTRY METHODS
1. Premium rates: Competitions on GenX Radio Suffolk do not run through premium rate calls or texts, however, calls and texts will be charged at your standard network rate – check with your network provider to find out what these costs are. By entering any competition or giveaway, you agree that:
  1. you always have the bill payer’s permission before texting/calling;
  1. we will always state the amount of any additional cost to your normal cost of calling or texting as accurately as possible. However, network providers may charge varying amounts for various types of call/text, so the total cost of your call/text may be more than we can state. We encourage you to check with your network provider;
  1. invalid or unsuccessful entries made via these methods may still be charged. Entries that are submitted before lines open or after lines close will not be valid but you may still be charged for your call or text;
  1. where we ask you to enter using SMS, you need to have a compatible phone and be using a network provider that permits text messages to electronic system’s number. SMS entries are deemed to be received on arrival, not when they are sent from your handset. SMS entries must be sent to the correct number and must include the correct keywords (or other answer format) if required as set out in any Specific Terms (not always applicable). Entries which fail to do so will be invalid; Any data collected from entrants may be used for regulatory purposes but will be stored in conjunction with the Data Protection Act 1998 & the Data Protection Act 2018 (GDPR).
1. On-Air Competitions: In relation to any on-air (live) competitions or draws, time constraints on calling any winner by telephone will mean that we proceed to the next caller if any caller does not answer our call promptly, or if the telephone line drops out or breaks up during our call. We will have no liability to any caller who does not answer our call promptly, for whatever reason, or for the awarding of any prize to a caller whose line dropped out or broke up for whatever reason. In addition, if a contestant or winner cannot be contacted by us to participate or enter any on-air competition or draw, (including where a third party answers the telephone on the contestant or winner’s behalf) we reserve the right to disqualify that person and to select a replacement contestant or winner (whichever is applicable).
1. Deficient entries: In all competitions and draws, we reserve the right to reject any entries that are incomplete, incomprehensible, damaged or otherwise deficient. We also reserve the right to reject entries that are unlawful, indecent, racist, inflammatory, defamatory or which we consider to be otherwise harmful. We accept no responsibility for any late, lost or misdirected entries including but not limited to texts, calls or emails not received due to technical disruptions, network congestion or any other reason. Proof of posting of any postal entry will not be proof of our receipt of that entry.
1. Automated Entry: The use of any automated entry software or any other mechanical or electronic means that permits any person to enter any competition or draw repeatedly is prohibited.
1. Names: Entrants must enter competitions or draws using their legal name once only. We reserve the right to disqualify any entrant who uses multiple names and to require them to return any prize they may have won.
1. Multiple Entries. Unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the applicable Specific Terms, no person may enter any competition or draw more than once and persons may not enter or participate as part of a syndicate or on behalf of any other person, syndicate, group, society or company. If we suspect that an individual has set up a fake email address, fake phone number and/or social media page to circumvent this rule, we reserve the right to disqualify all entries that we reasonably believe were generated by that individual.
1. Prize Limits. There is no limit on the value of a single prize that may be provided to the individual winners of a competition or draw. However, no person or persons at the same residential address may win more than one prize valued at £500 or more via any of our competitions, giveaways or draws in any six (6) month period.
1. Retrospective Effect. Where an entrant or prize winner has been found to be in breach of any of the terms and conditions and in particular where a person is in breach of the entry restrictions set out above, we may still enforce our right to disqualify that person and require the return or reimbursement to us of any prize even where a prize has been awarded and/or actually provided to the entrant or prize winner in question.
PRIZES
1. We reserve the right (when reasonably required to do so) to replace the stated prizes with prizes that we consider to be of broadly equivalent value. We offer no cash alternative for non-cash prizes and prize winners must accept prizes in the form offered. Where a prize is won by a person younger than 18, and only when we run a competition permitting of this being allowed, we reserve the right to award the prize to the prize winner’s parent or guardian on behalf of the prize winner. If a person under the age of 18 wins a prize on a competition only open to over 18’s this win will be disqualified.
1. All prize winners will be notified that they have won a prize within twenty eight (28) days of the closing date of the competition or giveaway via at least one of the following methods:
  1. by telephone;

We will not be liable for any prizes which are lost, delayed, or damaged in the post for reasons beyond our control. Further details will be set out in the Specific Terms and/or given to winners when they are notified that they’ve won.

1. All prizes are non-transferable and non-exchangeable. No cash will be awarded in lieu of that prize or any part of it.
