The Promoter

1. All Competitions are operated by the Promoter, and the Promoter is the official sponsor and operator of each Competition. The RaiseHero Partner is, unless specified otherwise, not the operator of any Competition. Where the product is sourced from a RaiseHero Partner, the Promoter is authorised by that RaiseHero Partner to offer their respective Product(s) as Prizes in the Competitions​​​​​

How To Enter​

b. submit a Competition entry via the Free Postal option (see terms 6 and 7 for more details on postal entry).

 

4. Purchases of RaiseHero Tickets shall be processed by the Promoter’s payment solutions provider. This shall be subject to the payment providers' terms and conditions, which are available to view on their website.

​

5. Purchasers of RaiseHero Tickets will be asked to provide their name and e-mail address. This information will be processed in accordance with the provisions below and the Promoter’s Data Protection and Privacy Policy. The Promoter’s relevant payment provider will require the purchaser’s card payment details and may require their postcode.

​

6. Entrants entering into a Competition for free via Postal Entry must mail their full name and a contact telephone number (including area code if providing a landline number) and their e-mail address, as well as the title of the Competition they wish to enter, to RaiseHero, 4 Ravey Street, London, EC2A 4QP. The aforementioned information required must be printed in legible English. This information will be processed in accordance with the provisions in these Terms and the Promoter’s Data Protection and Privacy Policy.

​

​

​​7. Postal Entries must be sent by first or second class stamp, and must be received by the Promoter at RaiseHero, 4 Ravey Street, London, EC2A 4QP before the Draw Date of the relevant Competition or the point that the Competition sells out - whichever comes first - in order to be entered into the Competition. Postal Entries must be sent on an unenclosed postcard or letter. Attempted Postal Entries received on anything other than a postcard or in a letter will not be accepted. The Entrant must specify which Competition they wish to enter. In the case of multiple entries received on a single postcard or within a single envelope, only one entry will be entered into the relevant Competition. If the Entrant cannot be identified from the details provided on the Postal Entry, then the Competition-specific single ticket entry will not be processed. Postal Entries without correct and sufficient postage paid will be invalid and will not be considered. Personal and hand deliveries will not be accepted.

​​

8. The Promoter will store and process the Entrant’s personal information. The personal information must include details of at least one form of contact and will be used for the following purposes:

a. to notify any Winner or Runner(s) Up that they have won a Prize in a Competition;

b. to administer the Website and conduct the Competitions; and

c. after a Draw, to post the Winner and, where applicable, any Runner(s) Up’s first name, town/county of residence and profile image or other provided photo on the Website, and in media communications about the Competitions.

 

9. All Entrants are solely and completely responsible for providing the Promoter with accurate and current contact details.

 

10. The Promoter will be in no way liable for any failure or inability to make contact with any Entrant due to any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the contact details provided by the Entrants or otherwise.

​

11. The Promoter will not accept:

a. responsibility for Entries that are lost, mislaid, damaged or delayed in transit, regardless of cause including, for example, equipment failure, technical malfunction, systems, satellite, network, server, computer hardware or software failure of any kind; or

b. responsibility for Postal Entries that are lost, mislaid, damaged, or delayed in receipt at the specified address until after the earlier of the Closing Date of the relevant Competition or the point that the Competition sells out, and this holds regardless of the cause including, for example, failure of postal service, natural disasters, and water corruption; or

c. any other purported proof of entry to the Competition other than as recorded by the systems of the Website, or by the Promoter upon receipt of a Postal Entry.

​

12. An Entry, and/or a Postal Entry shall be declared void, without any refund being given, if the Entrant engages in, or the Promoter at their sole discretion believes the Entrant is engaging in (with the proviso that if the Promoter was incorrect in their belief, the tickets will remain voided but a full refund will be issued):

a. any form of fraud, whether actual or apparent;

b. fraudulent misrepresentation;

c. fraudulent concealment;

d. hacking or interference with the proper functioning of the Website; or

e. amending, or unauthorised use of, any code that constitutes the Website (for example, utilising any information from the Website's code to gain an advantage over other Entrants).

 

13. Each individual Entrant may submit up to the maximum number of entries specified in total for any one particular Competition. The maximum number of entries applies at the level of the person, not at the level of a person’s email address.

​

Those participants who satisfy the requirements of this term 17 are referred to as Participants in these terms.

​

18. In entering a Competition, all Entrants confirm that they are eligible to do so and eligible to claim any Prize awarded in the relevant Competition. The Promoter may require any Entrant, including any Winner and/or Runner(s) Up to provide evidence that they are and were eligible to enter a particular Competition.

a. automatically generated by computer;

b. completed by third parties;

c. paid for using a debit/credit card belonging to someone other than the Entrant;

d. altered, reconstructed, forged or tampered with; or

e. incomplete.

21. The Promoter reserves all rights to disqualify Entrants if their conduct is contrary to the spirit or intention of the Competition entered.

​

22. Entries and Postal Entries and on behalf of another private individual will not be accepted, and joint submissions are not allowed. Participants may not use more than one email address to play under and/or benefit from, whether the additional emails and associated profiles are created under fake names or not. Linked Participants are also prohibited. If the Promoter, in their sole estimation, discovers that Entries and Postal Entries (including cases where individuals are, in effect, referring themselves across different emails and claiming the benefits) are being made by the same individual from more than one email or profile, all such entries or claims will be voided, no refund shall be given, no Prizes won shall be paid out and the Promoter will be entitled to claim back any Prize claim or, in each case, its equivalent value that has already been claimed by any of the Participants in question. If the Promoter, in their sole estimation, believes that one or more Participants are Linked Participants, then those Linked Participants shall have their entries and claims voided with no refunds given, no Prizes won shall be paid out to those Linked Participants, and the Promoter will be entitled to claim back any Prize, in each case, its equivalent value that has already been claimed by the Linked Participants.

 

23. By entering the Competition, Entrants warrant that all information that they submit is accurate, true, current and complete. The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any Entrant (entirely at the Promoter's discretion) if there are reasonable grounds to believe the Entrant has acted in breach of any of these Terms.

​

24. The Promoter reserves the right to suspend a Participant’s profile, and prevent a Participant from using the Website and participating in any Competition (and prevent the Participant from participating in any future competitions under a different email) at any time and for any reason. Without limiting the preceding sentence, the Promoter shall be entitled to prevent a Participant from using the Website and participating in any Competition if:

a. the Participant is writing abusive, misleading, or factually incorrect statements to the Promoter's staff, on social media, review websites, and so on;

b. the Participant has become bankrupt;

c. the Promoter considers that the Participant has used the Website in a fraudulent manner or for illegal and/or unlawful or improper purposes;

f. the Promoter considers that any of the events referred to in ‘a.’ to ‘d.’ may have occurred or are likely to occur; or

25. If the Promoter suspends a Participant’s profile or prevents a Participant from using the Website or entering a Competition for any of the reasons referred to in ‘a.’ to ‘f.’ above, the Participant shall be liable for any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses incurred or suffered by the Promoter arising therefrom and shall indemnify and hold the Promoter harmless on demand for the same. In the circumstances referred to in ‘a.’, ‘b.’, ‘f.’ and ‘g’ above, the Promoter may choose to refund any outstanding entries to the Participant. In the same circumstances in the preceding sentence, the Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any Entries that have already been entered into a Competition for which the Draw has not yet taken place.

​​​

Prizes & The Draw​

​

26. The Winner and any Runner(s) Up for each Competition will be determined and awarded the relevant Competition Prize(s) so specified on the Website in accordance with these Terms.

 

27. The Draw to determine the Winner and, where applicable, any Runner(s) Up will be made on the Draw Date.

 

28. Unless brought about by circumstances outside of the Promoter's control (e.g. a server crash that lasts for a notable period), the Promoter will never extend the Closing Date for any Competition.

​

29. On a Competition's Draw Date:

a. there will be a Draw to determine the Winner, and the Prize shall be awarded to the Winner subject to KYC checks being completed as outlined in term 32;

b. where the Competition provides for one or more Runner Up Prize(s), there will be a Draw or Draws to determine the Runner(s) up, who shall be awarded the associated Runner Up Prize(s) subject to KYC checks being completed as outlined in term 32.

​

30. If any Winner or Runner(s) Up cannot be contacted by the Promoter within 21 (twenty-one) days of being notified of their status as the Winner by e-mail and/or telephone provided in the contact details submitted in their Entry, the Promoter shall be entitled to award their Prize to the Entrant next Drawn, with the effect that the first Runner Up (as applicable) would become the Winner, the second Runner Up (as applicable) would become the first Runner Up, and so on. Any alternate Winner or Runner Up shall likewise comply with the above 21 (twenty-one) day contact requirement.

​

31. The Promoter shall use its best efforts to ensure and preserve the random nature of the Draw. The Draws are currently operated remotely using a True Random Number Generator. In the event that any mechanical defect occurs that relates to the draw (such as an incomplete number being drawn), the draw will be cancelled and re-run once the defect has been remedied, or, failing this, using an alternative random draw method. The result(s) of the Draw are final and the Promoter shall not enter into any correspondence in relation to the same.

 

32. Upon the request of the Promoter, the Winner, and where applicable, any Runner(s) Up will be required to forward personal identification, such as a driver's license or passport, as well as a recent utility bill or other official document confirming their address, to the Promoter to prove their identity and age, that their Entry or Postal Entry was made in accordance with these Terms, and that there is no lawful impediment (pursuant to any applicable UK or international law) to the Winner or any Runner(s) Up being awarded any Prize in the relevant Competition. The Promoter may refuse delivery of the Prize to the Winner and any Runner(s) Up if the requested personal identification is not received. In the event that the Promoter reasonably believes that there may be a lawful impediment to awarding a Prize to a Winner or any Runner(s) Up, the Promoter may suspend making such award until the legal issue is resolved or if, in the reasonable opinion of the Promoter such issue cannot be resolved, to award that Prize in a like manner as set out in term 29.

 

33. In the event that the Winner or Runner Up wins a vehicle, unless the Promoter elects at its sole discretion to deliver the vehicle, the Winner or Runner Up will be required to travel to the Promoter's offices or a mutually agreed location to collect the Prize. 

​

34. The Promoter is entitled to refuse delivery of a Prize to a P.O. box or any other location that may be used to conceal the identity of a Winner, in order to ensure that a Prize is not delivered to a fraudulent Winner.

 

35. In cases where the Promoter reasonably suspects fraud has occurred, and/or an individual has taken steps to gain an unfair and unintended advantage over other Entrants in any Competition, the Promoter is entitled to refuse delivery of any Prizes that the individual under suspicion may have won. The Promoter is entitled to use any legitimate Competition wins to set off an amount owing to it from an individual, howsoever that liability arises.

​

36. In cases where the Prize is an experience, which should be taken to include, for example, domestic and international holidays, day-trips and one-off events or occasions, the Winner of the Prize or any Runner(s) Up will be contacted by either the Promoter or a RaiseHero Partner to arrange delivery of the experience. If the Winner or Runner Up fails to confirm necessary details (e.g. the people who will be attending the experience, the desired date of the experience, etc.) within 14 days from the point of being contacted, then it is acknowledged that, on occasion, certain elements of the Prize may not be available, in which case the Promoter and the Winner/Runner Up will arrange a mutually agreeable substitute experience up to the same value as the original Prize. Where booking with a third-party provider, the Winner or Runner Up must get in contact with the Promoter before booking to confirm all items of the experience (e.g. flights, travel dates, number of people) so that the Promoter can ensure full delivery of the Prize on the desired dates, as often these items are booked with different providers and require coordination. In instances where the Winner or Runner up fails to confirm the details with the Promoter before booking the experience and complications arise, the Promoter will substitute up to the total value of the original Prize where possible, but will have no further liability to the Winner or Runner Up.

 

37. The Promoter does not in any way guarantee or give any warranties as to the value of the Prize, its condition, history or any other matters associated with the Prize.

 

38. In that the event that the Promoter sends the Winner or any Runner(s) Up a Prize that is greater than the value of the Prize advertised in the Competition and noted in the description, then the Winner or Runner Up, upon the request of the Promoter, must return the excess value that was sent in error. For example, if the Entrant has won a £100 Prize, and the Promoter sends the Entrant £1000 in error, then the Entrant must return £900 to the Promoter.

 

39. The Promoter reserves the right to remove a Competition from the Website at any time, and in the rare event that this occurs, will refund all Entries and any Postal Entry (relative to the value of the used stamps) to that Competition.

​

​​

​​

Charity

​

​40. The RaiseHero Partner or the Promoter may, for any Competition for which it has provided a Prize, specify a Charity to which a percentage of the total RaiseHero Ticket sales will be donated. The Promoter or the RaiseHero Partner will make the Charitable Donation after the Draw.​

​

Announcement of Winners and any

 

Runner(s) Up

41. The Promoter has the right, with the winner's consent, to announce and publish any of the information outlined in term 8(c) pertaining to any Competition’s Winner and Runner(s) Up on the Website and via email marketing campaigns, as well as on the Promoter’s associated social media pages/sites, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The Promoter may also ask the Winner and/or any Runner(s) Up to participate in further reasonable publicity requests. 

​

Limitation of Liability

​​

42. Insofar as is permitted by law, the Promoter, its agents or distributors will not in any circumstances be responsible or liable to compensate any Entrant or accept any liability for any loss, damage, personal injury or death occurring as a result of submitting an Entry or Postal Entry, or in relation to the use and enjoyment of a Prize by the Winner or Runner(s) Up gained through any Competition, except where death or personal injury is caused by the negligence or fraud of the Promoter, or that of their agents, distributors, or employees. The Winner’s statutory rights are not affected.

 

43. The liability of the Promoter to each Entrant is limited to the aggregate value of the Entry Fees paid by that Entrant.

 

44. The Promoter accepts no liability for errors or omissions contained within the description of any Prize awarded as part of any of the Competitions on the Website or the Prize Value, or any other description or specification or any other part of the Website. It is the responsibility of each Entrant (and in particular the Winner and any Runner(s) Up) to satisfy him/herself as to the accuracy of any such details and/or any content of the Website.

 

45. The Promoter accepts no liability for errors or omissions caused by human error or technical faults within the Promoter's technological infrastructure. This limitation of liability applies in situations such as where errors or faults lead to the system or the Promoter's staff wrongly paying out or promising to pay out Prizes or cash alternatives to Participants, Participants winning prizes in a reasonably unintended manner, such as the system drawing a Competition twice. In such situations, no prizes shall be paid out and, subject to a full refund issued to the Participant, the Promoter shall have no further liability for any reason. Confirmation emails and other communications from the Promoter do not constitute acceptance of any transaction on the Promoter's Website.

 

46. The Promoter accepts no liability for non-receipt or issues with receipt of a Prize due to errors in information provided by the Winner or Runner Up, such as incorrect bank account details or a wrong delivery address.

​

General

​

47. The Promoter shall not be a trustee of any Entry Fees received, unless it is subject to a specific contractual agreement with a RaiseHero Partner or Charity to act as such.

​

48. The Promoter reserves the right to suspend or cancel any Competition at any time, either before or after Entries and/or Postal Entries that have been received. In cases where a human or a technical error has resulted in participants being awarded one or more Prizes in an unfair manner or participants being disadvantaged, the Promoter reserves the right to cancel the Competition, not award any Prizes for that Competition, and refund Entry Fees paid directly to the Entrant. This applies even if the Prizes have already been won, as each participant must have the same chance of winning per ticket in every Competition. Where all the Entry Fees have been returned, the Promoter shall have no further liability to the Entrant or to any other person.

 

49.Without prejudice to the operation of term 48, the Promoter reserves the right to cancel any Competition in the event that an order is made or a resolution is passed for the winding up of the Promoter, or an order is made for the appointment of an administrator to manage the affairs of the Promoter, or circumstances arise which entitle a court or creditor to appoint a receiver or manager or which entitle a court to make a winding up order, or the Promoter takes or suffers any analogous action in consequence of debt or an application to court for protection from its creditors is made by the Promoter.

​

50. The Promoter may occasionally run promotions where customers will receive benefits, such as but not limited to additional tickets or discounts. Unless otherwise stated, such benefits are to be availed of no more than once per Participant, and the Promoter reserves the right not to provide any stated benefit if the Promoter, at their sole discretion, believes the promotion is being availed of beyond the intended limit.

 

51. The Promoter reserves the right to make reasonable amendments to these Terms at any time, with immediate effect upon publishing such amendments on the Website. Any such amendments shall not prejudice any Entries or Postal Entries received prior to the time of such changes.

 

52. These Terms shall not create or be construed as creating any form of contract, joint venture or other agreement between any Entrant and the Promoter.

 

53. All Competitions that the Promoter promotes, their administration and all associated activities shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, and all parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
