2 GENERAL

2.1 These Promotion Terms and Conditions shall apply in conjunction with the General Terms of Service (https://fretello.com/terms) and Specific Terms of any promotion. You should therefore read these General Terms in combination with the Specific Terms. Where any Specific Terms conflict with these General Terms, the Specific Terms will take precedence.

3 ELIGIBILITY RULES

3.1 All promotions are open to persons over 18 years of age at the time of entry. Where the Specific Terms state that a person aged 18 years or less is eligible to enter, Fretello reserves the right to require that their parent or guardian confirms in writing that they agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and will accept any prize on behalf of the under-18 year old prizewinner.

3.2 It will be at Fretello’s sole decision as to whether any eligibility requirement has or has not been met and Fretello may require evidence or confirmation from entrants before awarding prizes.

3.3 Employees of Fretello and their immediate families may not enter any promotion, neither may any employees or immediate family members of any third party sponsors, third party companies associated with the promotion, prize providers or agencies assisting with the promotion operation.

4 ENTRY

4.1 Prerequisites

In promotions where purchase of product is necessary, please retain your promotional packaging as it may be required for verification in the event of a win.

4.2 Deficient Entries

Fretello will not be responsible for any entries not received, not recognised, not accepted for any reason or delayed. Proof of sending or entering such details does not constitute receipt.

4.3 Responsibility for Errors

Fretello assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction of or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, or non-receipt of, entries. Fretello is not responsible for any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer on-line systems, servers, or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of any e-mail or entry to be received by Fretello or an entrant because of technical problems, operator problems, social media site problems, traffic congestion on the Internet or at any website, or any combination thereof, including any injury or damage to any participant's or any other third person's, resulting from any participation or downloading any materials in the promotion.

4.4 Automated Entry

The use of any automated entry software or any other mechanical or electronic means that permits any person to enter any promotion repeatedly is prohibited. No bulk, consumer group or third party entries will be accepted. These entries will be disqualified.

4.5 Names

4.6 Multiple Entries

Unless otherwise permitted by the Specific Terms, no person may enter any promotion 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.

4.7 Retrospective Effect

Where an entrant or prizewinner has not complied fully with the generic terms and specific promotion terms, or has been found to be in breach of any of the terms and conditions of a promotion and in particular where a person is in breach of the entry restrictions, Fretello may nevertheless still enforce our right to disqualify that person and require the return or reimbursement to us of any prize even where a prize has already been awarded and/or actually provided to the entrant or prizewinner in question.

4.8 Fees

No fees shall be payable to any entrant in relation to their entry in any promotion. Obtaining time off work and/or study or related activities to participate in a promotion and/or use a prize. All related costs/time off will be at the sole and absolute responsibility of each entrant or person using the prize.

5 PRIZES

5.1 Fretello reserves in all cases the right to replace the stated prizes with prizes that Fretello considers to be of broadly equivalent value. Fretello offers 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, Fretello reserves the right to award the prize to the prizewinner's parent or guardian on behalf of the prizewinner.

5.2 The colour, style, size and model of the prize will be the decision of Fretello unless stated otherwise. Any pictures depicting the prizes on any media or promotional material are for depiction purposes only and in certain instances the actual prizes may differ. The promotion does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the products or services being offered as prizes.

5.3 Fretello will not be liable for any prizes which are lost, delayed, or damaged in the post for reasons beyond our control.

5.4 Where prizes are to be delivered to the personal address of a winner, the prize will only be delivered to an address within the European Union and will only be sent once. Should a prize winner's contact details change, it is their responsibility to notify us or the contact persons for the relevant promotion.

5.5 Fretello reserves the right to request proof of a prize winner's identity in the form of a passport or driver’s license, proof of residence and proof of address in the form of a utility bill. In the event that a prize winner cannot provide us with the proofs mentioned above which are reasonably acceptable to Fretello, Fretello may withdraw the prize and select another prize winner in the same manner as the first.

5.6 All prizes are subject to availability, non transferable and non exchangeable. Where prizes consist of entry tickets, attendance at events, holidays and similar time-specific benefits, they must be taken on the dates specified by us. If a prize winner does not take any element of a prize at the time stipulated by us (or any relevant third party prize provider) then that element of the prize will be forfeited by the winner and no replacement prize will be granted. No cash will be awarded in lieu of that prize or part of it.

5.7 Any tax payable as a result of a prize being awarded or received will be the responsibility of the winner. Winners should seek independent financial advice prior to accepting a prize if this is a concern.

5.8 Winners shall be responsible for obtaining any insurance which may be required or prudent in relation to any prize awarded to them. Fretello makes no representation or warranty in relation to prizes provided and to the fullest extent permitted by law Fretello shall have no liability to you in relation to any prize, its fitness for purposes, merchantability or otherwise. Fretello reserves the right to disqualify entrants from entering our promotions or prizewinners from receiving their prizes where any such person engages in unsafe, illegal, unsociable or inappropriate behaviour.

5.9 No additional, further or other costs or expenses are included in any prize unless expressly stated. For example, the costs of transport to and from a venue or an event, parking charges, gratuities, excursions, spending money and other costs of a personal nature, are not included, and any accommodation prize includes basic room charge only.

5.10 The name(s) and country of all promotion winner(s) will be available during the period commencing one month after the promotion closing date and ending four months after the promotion closing date upon application with a SAE to Fretello’s address.

10 TEMPERING AND OTHER MATTERS

10.1 If for any reason any promotion is not capable of running as planned as a result of any (including but not limited to) technical failures, unauthorised intervention, computer virus, mobile network failure, tampering, fraud or any other causes beyond our control which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the promotion, Fretello reserves the right to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the promotion and/or any draw/s or judging related to the promotion and/or to disqualify any individual who (whether directly or indirectly) causes (or has caused) the problem.

10.2 Any attempt to deliberately damage any website used in connection with a promotion or the information on it, or to otherwise undermine the legitimate operation of the promotion may be a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, whether successful or not, Fretello reserves the right to seek damages to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11 PROMOTION ADMINISTRATION AND EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

11.1 Fretello may vary the terms of, or terminate, a promotion at any time where it has reasonable grounds to do so at its absolute discretion without liability to any contestant or other person. Fretello will not award the prize if the promotion is terminated.
