5.3 The Promoter may carry out checks and/or request information from time to time from Entrants during registration and/or from participants after registration to verify that Entrants and participants, as well as the information and details supplied by them, meet the criteria set out in this rule 5. These checks may include (without limitation) credit reference checks. No Prizes will be given to a participant if the criteria set out in this rule 5 are not met, or if they are ineligible to participate for any reason whatsoever.
5.4 In carrying out the checks referred in rule 5.3 above, the information and details you may have provided to the Promoter may be disclosed to a credit reference agency to perform an identity check. This may be a verification footprint rather than a credit footprint. The checks look only at the existence of the name, address, and date of birth with lenders rather than any current or previous credit information. This will leave a soft footprint on your credit file for 12 months. These checks will also be conducted when a postal claim is made and, in the event our electronic checks cannot verify your information and details, the Promoter may request physical documentation such as a driving licence or passport to prove eligibility to participate in a prize draw.
5.5 The Promoter and/or third parties on its behalf may also carry out checks to verify that an Entrant is entitled to participate and has enough funds to purchase raffle tickets.
6.1 The prize for each competition is as described on the competition entry page on the Website (the “Prize”). Details of the Prize are, to the best of the Promoter’s knowledge, information, and belief, correct.

The Cash Prize value will be displayed on each competition page or available on request. The Prize can be substituted for a Cash Prize in the following circumstances: (a) The Prize, or a reasonable alternative, becomes unavailable; (b) Other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Promoter make it necessary to do so; (c) The Winner opts for a Cash Prize instead of the Prize.
6.6 If the Winner wishes to take a Cash Prize instead of the vehicle, the Promoter will seek the best price from local traders.

The Promoter may make a reasonable deduction from the sale price to cover the time and administration costs required to undertake the task of securing the best price for the Winner. The Winner is under no obligation to accept the cash alternative if they disagree with the amount of the cash alternative. They can accept the vehicle as the Prize and may then sell it privately.

It is the Entrant’s responsibility to ensure that their personal information is kept up to date. If the Winner cannot be contacted, is not available, or does not claim the Prize within 21 days of the competition date, the Promoter will re-run the competition and will select an alternate Winner. The alternate Winner shall have 21 days from notification to accept the Prize. This process shall continue until a Winner accepts the Prize. The original Winner(s) will have no claim to any Prize in this scenario.
