Competition Entry

1. These premium rate terms and conditions, together with any specific rules set out in the Competition Notices (defined below) apply to all premium rate competitions and prize draws (together referred to as the "Competitions") offered by us. Anyone who breaches them may be excluded from access to competitions.

2. Please note that these terms and conditions apply to all Competitions that appear in UKTV airtime on our channels.

3. The terms and conditions of any third party supplier may apply and must be accepted and complied with by the Competition winner. These shall include compliance with any health and safety regulations which apply whilst the Competition winner is taking part in any promotional activity (if applicable).

4. As each Competition is different and operates in a different way, there will be some terms and conditions that apply only to the specific Competition and these will be set out in a notice included on the page for such Competition (the "Competition Notice") and are incorporated into these terms and conditions. The following general terms also apply. In the event of conflict between these terms and conditions and the Competition Notice, the Competition Notice shall prevail.

5. You must be a UK resident to enter a Competition.

6. All entrants must be over 18 years of age at the point of entry, unless otherwise stated. Employees (including family members) of UKTV or any prize provider are excluded from entering and their entry will not be considered.

7. All entrants warrant by entering a Competition that all information submitted is true and UKTV reserves the right to verify any information provided.

8. You may enter our Competitions in the following ways:

9.1 Text/ SMS entry

(i) You can enter our Competitions by text/SMS. Entrants are required to send a text to the short code or number as indicated in the Competition broadcast. Text entries will be charged at the standard network rate, which will vary depending on your mobile network provider (entrants should check this with their mobile network operator). When we receive a Competition entry, we (or our representatives) will send the entrant a text message acknowledging receipt of the Competition entry ("Acknowledgement Text"), the entrant will then be charged the premium rate cost stated in the Competition Notice. Charges will be deducted from the entrant's available credit time, if it is a pre-pay customer and if the entrant is a pay-monthly customer the charge will appear on its monthly bill. In the event an entrant has insufficient funds or credit to deliver the Acknowledgement Text, the entry will not be accepted. The entrant will not be eligible for a refund of the standard network rate charged by the entrant's mobile network provider in entering the Competition.

(ii) Subject to any Special Offer, detailed at paragraph 9.2 below, an entrant will only be permitted to submit a total of four (4) Competition entries from the same mobile phone number, any entries in excess of this number will not be counted and the Competition entrant may not be entitled to a refund.

(iii) Any SMS/text Competition entry received after the closing time set out in the Competition Notice will receive a free text from UKTV informing the entrant that (a) the entry was received late and will not be entered into the Competition and (b) it will not be entitled to a refund of the standard network rate charged by the entrant's mobile network provider on entering the Competition by text.

(iv) The Acknowledgement Text may also include information about UKTV, its channels or other services relating to the Competition. SMS/text entrants may opt out of receiving any marketing information in the confirmation message (please see paragraph 30 for further information).

(v) Competition entrants should always get the permission of the person who pays the bills before you use a phone to enter a Competition.

9.2 Special Offer Competition entry promotions

We may, from time to time, run a special offer associated with entering a Competition by SMS/text, such as a 'buy one get one free', '3 for 2' or '6 for 4' special offer ("Special Offer") and Competition entrants may take advantage of this, when available. Details of Special Offers will be set out in the Competition Notice, and, the following conditions shall also apply:

(i) Where, for example, a '3 for 2' Special Offer is available an entrant who submits a Competition entry by text will, together with the Acknowledgement Text, receive an invitation to enter the Competition via SMS a second time using the same mobile telephone number and advising that where they do, they will receive an additional (i.e. a third) entry into the Competition without charge (providing paragraph 9.1(ii) above does not apply and the entrant has not already submitted more than the permitted number of Competition entries). Entrants who then, using the telephone number used for the original message, send a second SMS text with their answer (where applicable) to the premium rate SMS short code stipulated before the Competition closing date and time will be entered into the relevant draw a second and third time for a chance to win the prize but will be charged for only two entries.

(ii) Where an entrant is required to answer a question to enter a Competition, the same answer submitted by the SMS entry on the first or second or fourth entry (depending on the Special Offer), will be submitted for the resulting free entry (i.e. the second or third or fifth and sixth entry respectively).

(iii) If a free SMS entry is randomly drawn as a winner, it will only be valid if one or two or four (as applicable) charged entries have been registered as paid by the entrant and none of those entries qualified the entrant for any other free entry, taking into account the sequence in which the paid entries were received and any other free entry was awarded.

(iv) Entries over the maximum number of entries, set out in paragraph 9.1(ii) above, from the same originating telephone number will not be entered into the Competition.

9.3 Postal Entry
