Giveaway terms

Overview

These are the general terms that apply to every celebrity giveaway coordinated by [Company name] (trading as CelebrityLink; "Celebrity Link", "we", "us"), company number [company number], registered office [registered office address]. By entering a giveaway you accept these terms and the giveaway's official rules.

Which rules apply? Each giveaway publishes its own official rules in the giveaway post or at the address the post gives. They name the promoter and set the prize, the entry steps, the closing date and the countries the giveaway is open to. These general terms fill in anything the official rules do not cover; if the two differ, the official rules apply.

Giveaways we coordinate follow the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct Marketing (the CAP Code), administered by the Advertising Standards Authority, and Instagram's promotion guidelines.

Who can enter

• You must be 18 or over on the day you enter, unless the official rules set a different minimum age.
• You must live in one of the countries the official rules list.
• You must enter from a public Instagram account that you hold in your own name and that was not created to enter giveaways.
• Employees of the promoter, of Celebrity Link and of the agencies and suppliers involved in the giveaway, the celebrity or creator fronting it and their management, and the close family of any of them, cannot enter.
• One entry per person unless the official rules say otherwise. Entries from several accounts held by one person count as one.

How to enter

1. Follow the Instagram accounts listed in the giveaway post.
2. Like the giveaway post and complete any other step the post asks for, such as tagging a friend. Tagging a friend does not enter them; they must enter in their own right.
3. Keep following the listed accounts, with your account public, until the winner has been confirmed.
4. Enter before the closing date and time in the official rules. Late, incomplete or automated entries are not counted.

No purchase is necessary. Entering costs nothing beyond the ordinary cost of using your device and internet connection, and nothing you buy improves your chances of winning.

Instagram

Each giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. By entering you release Instagram and Meta from any responsibility connected with the giveaway. The information you enter with goes to the promoter and to us, not to Instagram, and you must comply with Instagram's terms of use and community guidelines. We cannot help with an entry that Instagram removes or restricts.

The prize

• The prize is described in the official rules. Where it includes cash or a transfer to the winner, the amount and currency are stated there.
• The prize cannot be exchanged for cash or another prize, and cannot be transferred, unless the official rules say otherwise. If a prize or part of it becomes unavailable, we may substitute one of equal or greater value.
• Any tax, customs duty or similar charge on the prize is the winner's responsibility, unless the official rules say the promoter pays it.
• Travel, accommodation and other costs that the official rules do not include are the winner's responsibility.

Choosing and notifying the winner

• The winner is chosen at random from all valid entries within the period the official rules state after the closing date, using a method that an independent person can verify. Where the official rules describe a different method, that method applies.
• We tell the winner by a direct message from the Instagram account named in the official rules. We never ask for payment or card details to release a prize; a message that does is not from us.
• The winner must reply within the time the official rules state (14 days if they say nothing) and provide the details needed to deliver the prize. If they do not, or if they are found not to be eligible, we may choose another winner in the same way.
• Prizes are delivered within the time the official rules state, or within 28 days of the winner's details being confirmed if they say nothing. Delivery outside the countries the giveaway is open to is not possible.

Publishing the winner

We may announce the winner's Instagram username on the giveaway post, in a story or on this website. Where the CAP Code requires it, we will make the winner's surname and county available to anyone who asks within three months of the closing date. If you object to your details being published, tell us when you reply to the winning message; we will still give them to the Advertising Standards Authority if it asks.

Disqualification

We may remove an entry, or withdraw a prize, if the entrant:

• Does not meet the eligibility rules, or gives false information.
• Enters with a fake, duplicate or automated account, or buys followers, likes or entries.
• Unfollows the listed accounts or makes their account private before the winner is confirmed.
• Harasses, abuses or threatens the promoter, the celebrity, other entrants or our team.
• Tampers with the giveaway or acts against the spirit of these terms.

Your information

We process the information you enter with as described in the Privacy policy: your Instagram username and the public details of your account to verify entries and run the draw, and the winner's name, address and contact details to deliver the prize. These details are shared with the promoter and with whoever delivers the prize, and the winner's username may be published as described above. They are not used for marketing unless you opt in separately.

Our responsibility to you

• We are not responsible for entries that are lost, delayed or not received because of a fault with Instagram, your device or your connection, or for a giveaway being interrupted by something outside our reasonable control.
• The prize is provided by the promoter or supplier named in the official rules, who is responsible for its quality. We are not responsible for loss or damage from using a prize, other than loss we cause by our negligence.
• Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

Changes and cancellation

We may change or cancel a giveaway if an event outside our reasonable control makes it impossible or unfair to run, or if Instagram's rules change. We will not change the entry rules or the prize in a way that disadvantages people who have already entered unless we have to. Changes are published where the official rules were published.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in another country you keep the protections of the consumer law that applies there and can bring a claim in your local courts.
