- DURATION
The Competition runs from the Start Date to the End Date (“Entry Period”).
Entries received before the Start Date or after the End Date will be invalid but the persons submitting those entries may still be charged and we will have no obligation to refund such charges.
We may make on-air announcements regarding the Competition at any time throughout each day during the broadcast schedule.
The Entry Period is final and is not impacted by the time of broadcast of announcements regarding the Competition, which may be delayed.
- HOW TO ENTER AND COSTS
Entrants can enter the Competition by sending an SMS message, starting with the keyword and including the answer to a multiple choice question, both as given on-air, to 57557. If the message does not start with the correct keyword or the SMS message is not sent to the correct number, it will not be entered. Entrants will receive an automated SMS response to their SMS message confirming their entry. The delivery of this message may be delayed at peak times.
Entrants are responsible for all costs associated with entering the Competition. Texts cost €2.50 (from Ireland) plus standard network rate. Entrants must have permission from the bill payer before entering the Competition.
We are not responsible for any network or technical issues an entrant may experience, such as latency of the mobile phone network, which may delay or prevent their participation or cause them to not win the Competition.
- THE DRAW AND WINNING THE PRIZE
During the Entry Period, the prize (“Prize”) will be announced on-air.
We may announce the Prize at any time during the Entry Period. We may also advertise the Prize on any websites and social media channels associated with our stations, via SMS marketing messages and via any other medium.
After the closing of the Entry Period, one entrant from the valid entries will be selected by automated random draw (“Draw”). To win the Prize, the answer to the multiple choice question must be correct. If an entry that has not answered the multiple choice question correctly is drawn, another Draw will be conducted until an entry with the correct answer is drawn. We will call the winning entrant on the telephone number on which they have entered.
If we are unable to contact the selected entrant within 14 calendar days of the Draw, the selected entrant will forfeit the Prize and we will conduct a second Draw to select a second entrant. The second entrant will then be able to win the Prize in the manner described in these terms. That process will be repeated until a selected entrant can be contacted within 14 calendar days of the Draw.
- ENTRANT RESTRICTIONS
The Competition is only open to people aged 18 and over who: (i) live in the Republic of Ireland; (ii) have a bank account registered in the Republic of Ireland in their own name; (iii) have a mobile telephone number registered in the Republic of Ireland with a mobile phone network provider in the Republic of Ireland; (iv) have a registered address in the Republic of Ireland; (v) are not an employee (or immediate family (including live-in partner) of an employee) of ours; and (vi) if the Competition has an associated sponsor or commercial partner, are not an employee (or immediate family (including live-in partner) of any employee) of that associated sponsor or commercial partner.
A person may enter a maximum of 12 times in aggregate across all our competitions, including the Competition, during each period from 3pm Friday to 3pm the following Friday. A person’s network provider may also impose limits on their ability to enter our competitions. For these purposes, a person’s first 12 entries (or other lower limit as imposed by a person’s network provider) across all our competitions during each period will be considered the relevant valid entries.
We may offer bonus chances to win as an incentive to enter. These incentives will be communicated via the automated SMS response confirming the entry. Where we operate an incentive, the entry limit may change. We may withdraw bonus chances to win with or without notice for any reason. We have no liability in the event that bonus chances to win cannot be used.
If an entrant has won the equivalent of €500 or more in any competition conducted by us over the 6 months prior to the Start Date, they are not eligible to win the Prize. If such an entrant is selected, that Draw will be void and we may conduct a further Draw (and the entrant will not be entitled to a refund for their entry).
If we become aware, after the Prize has been awarded, that the entrant was in breach of these terms, we may withdraw the Prize from that entrant. If we become aware, after the Prize has been delivered, that the entrant was in breach of these terms, we may request that the entrant repays the value of the Prize to us and, upon receipt of that request, the entrant must promptly do so. In either case, we will have no obligation to conduct a further Draw or award the Prize to any other person.
We may exclude individuals who breach these terms from entering our competitions.
