2. Entry Criteria and Competition Rules

2.1 All entries must contain all of the information we need, as set out in the competition details. We may not consider, and may automatically disqualify, any entries that do not contain all of this information.

2.2 We will disqualify from the competition any applicant who fails to meet any of the entry criteria, or breaks any of these terms, and consider them ineligible to receive the prize.

2.3 We reserve the right to refuse an entry or refuse to award the prize to any applicant who it has disqualified in line with clause 2.2 and/or who has broken these terms.

2.4 Clause 2.2 will not, however, prevent an applicant from submitting an entry for another competition we run in the future, unless the applicant breaks these terms repeatedly or in a serious way, or for any reason we give otherwise.

2.5 We reserve the right to hold void, cancel, suspend, or amend the promotion of the competition if we need to. If we do change, suspend or cancel the competition, we will, where possible, notify applicants within [seven days] using the contact details the applicants provided in their entry.

2.6 Employees and former employees of Enterprise Nation, and anyone who may be directly associated with the administration of the competition and prize, are not allowed to enter the competition.

2.7 We will share all entries with the competition judging panel (the "panel"). The panel will review entries for the competition and [in conjunction with votes submitted by [external parties]] decide to which winning applicant(s) it will award the prize (the "winner" or "winners").

2.8 Entering this competition does not prevent any applicant applying for another separate competition Enterprise Nation promotes in the future.

2.9 The key dates for the competition, including the opening and closing dates for entries, are as set out in the competition details. Enterprise Nation and the sponsor reserve the right to extend the closing date to a later date. If we do extend the closing date, we will notify applicants via the email address they provided in their entry.

2.10 We must receive all entries by no later than 11:59:59 p.m. (GMT) on the closing date. We will not consider for the prize any entries we receive after the closing date.

2.11 We accept no responsibility for any entry an applicant could not successfully complete because of a technical fault, technical malfunction, failure with computer hardware or software, or any kind of failure with a satellite, network or server.

2.12 If an applicant has any questions about the entry process, they can contact Enterprise Nation at hello@enterprisenation.com.

3. Winners and Prizes

3.1 The panel will choose the winner(s) of the prize(s) on the decision date. The prize(s) may be open to several winners – if this is the case, the competition details will specify this.

3.2 We will announce the winner(s) of the prize(s) on the Enterprise Nation website on the announcement date. We will notify the winner(s) directly by email (using the contact details provided on the entry) or via their member profile on the Enterprise Nation website.

3.3 Our decision regarding any aspect of the prize or competition is final and binding, and we will not enter into any correspondence about it.

3.4 Subject to clause 3.7, the winner(s) will receive the prize(s), if in cash form, no later than seven days from the announcement date. If the prize(s) are (or are accompanied by) a physical item, the winner(s) will receive the physical item no later than 30 days from the announcement date.

3.5 If the prize is, or is accompanied by, a physical item, the winner cannot exchange or transfer it or receive a cash alternative. If the prize is in cash form, the winner cannot transfer it or exchange it for a physical item.

3.6 If, after having been notified, the selected winner(s) does/do not claim their prize by sending an email to Enterprise Nation, we and the panel will consider them to have rejected the prize, and choose another winner from the runners-up list.

3.7 A third party (the "supplier") may supply the prize. In that case, Enterprise Nation will not be responsible for delivering, or overseeing delivery of, the prize (in whatever form it takes) to the winner(s) and will only be responsible for notifying the winner(s) in line with this clause 3.

    3.7.1 The winner should confirm to Enterprise Nation, within seven days of the prize being delivered to their chosen address, that it has received the prize. We have the right to replace the prize provided by the supplier with an alternative award of equal or higher value if circumstances beyond our control mean we must do so.

3.8 Enterprise Nation must either publish or make available information that indicates that a valid competition took place, and that it awarded a prize to a winner. To comply with this obligation, we will publish the name(s) of the winner(s) – whether an individual or a business – on the Enterprise Nation website. If asked to, we may still need to provide the information contained in the winning entry (or entries) to the Advertising Standards Authority.

3.9 When publishing the name(s) of the winner(s) of the competition on our website, we may also publish the logo(s) of the winner(s) (if this applies), and some or all of the names and/or logo(s) of the other competition applicants. When an applicant submits an entry and accepts these terms, they are granting Enterprise Nation a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use their name(s) and/or logo(s) for this purpose.

3.10 The partner will receive an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, copy, edit or modify the winner's (or winners') materials (the "winner materials") in any and all media, forever. The winner(s) will retain copyright, all moral rights (not including the requirement to name winner(s) on usage) and self-promotion rights. The winner (or winners) grants to the partner the right to use and copy its name in all and any media including via social media, online, via email or text or otherwise. The partner will be assigned the rights to the company materials, but the winner's (or winners') image rights will remain the winner's (or winners') property. For the avoidance of doubt, the winner(s) will retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in the winner materials and the winner's (or winners') image rights.

4. Limitation of Liability

4.1 Nothing in this agreement will operate to exclude or limit either party's liability for:

    4.1.1 death or personal injury caused by its negligence
    4.1.2 any breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982
    4.1.3 fraud, or
    4.1.1 any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

4.2 Subject to clause 4.1, Enterprise Nation, its agents or distributors will not in any circumstances be responsible or liable to applicants for any losses arising from their application, nor to the winner(s) for any loss or damage occurring as a result of accepting the prize(s), except where it is caused by the negligence or wilful default of Enterprise Nation, its agents or distributors or its employees. Where applicable, applicants' statutory rights are not affected.

4.3 In any event, subject to clause 4.1 Enterprise Nation's maximum aggregate liability in respect of these terms and the competition will be limited to the value of the prize.

6.2 Events outside the parties’ control. Enterprise Nation and the sponsor reserve the right to hold void, suspend, or amend the entry process (including these terms) where it becomes necessary to do so for reasons outside Enterprise Nation's or the sponsor's control.

6.3 Waiver. No failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy under these terms shall be construed as a waiver of any other right or remedy.

6.4 Notices. All notices and other communications in relation to these terms will be in writing and deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered, e-mailed, or mailed (first-class postage prepaid) to the address of the relevant party, as referred to above or otherwise notified in writing. If personally delivered or e-mailed, all such communications will be deemed to have been given when received (except that if received on a non-working day or after 5pm on any working day, they will be deemed received on the next working day). If mailed, all such communications will be deemed to have been given and received on the second working day following the mailing.

6.5 No partnership or agency.
