INTRODUCTION
Hello there! These are the terms and conditions that apply if you enter our prize draw for a chance to win one of five tickets to an exclusive, invite-only event with Holly Branson and Simon Sinek on Wednesday 5th June 2024 (the “Promotion” for short).
Acceptance of these terms: If you enter this Promotion, we’ll take that as a thumbs up to these terms and conditions and the entry instructions, so please make sure you read the terms carefully. If something doesn't sit right with you, please sit this one out.
Who can enter?: To take part in this Promotion you must be a business founder or co-founder who has received the promotional email from Virgin StartUp, living in the UK and aged 18 or over when you enter the Promotion. You will not be eligible to enter this Promotion if you have not received the promotional email.
Entry restrictions: We want to keep things fair, so employees of Virgin Start Up Limited, Virgin Red Limited, Virgin Management Limited, Virgin Enterprises Limited, and anyone else professionally connected with this Promotion, along with their immediate families, unfortunately, can’t enter.
When can I enter?: The Promotion opens at 10:00am BST on Wednesday 29 May 2024 and closes at 5:00pm BST on Friday 31 May 2024 (the “Promotion Period” for short). Any entries outside the Promotion Period won’t make the cut.
HOW TO ENTER THE PROMOTION
To be entered into the Promotion, you need to sign up for a Premium Membership Account on the new Virgin StartUp Community Platform (https://virgin-startup.mn.co/).
During the sign-up process you will need to answer all eligibility questions and be accepted onto the platform.
PRIZES AND WINNERS
Now for the exciting bit – the prizes. 5 (five) lucky winners will each win one ticket to attend the live event on Wednesday 5thJune 2024 at a Central London location (near Victoria, with the exact location to be communicated to the winners closer to the event date) from 6.30pm to 9pm.
The winners will be picked randomly from all eligible entries by an automated computer programme within one (1) day after the end of the Promotion Period.
Keep your eyes on your inbox! Winners will be notified by email that they have won within three (3) days after the end of the Promotion Period.
Winners will receive an Eventbrite link to confirm their attendance and register their details for the event including their name (which must match that on their ID document) and email address.
Life happens. If we can’t reach a winner within two (2) working days, if a winner doesn’t accept their prize, a winner isn’t eligible to win or we can’t verify their eligibility, the winner will forfeit their prize and we might award the prize to another winner, selected in the same way we’ve set out above.
Bear in mind: any extra costs and expenses that are not included in the prizes are your responsibility, including any travel, additional costs, insurance and taxes.
WHAT CONDITIONS DO I NEED TO BE AWARE OF?
We have the ultimate say in picking the winners, and our decision is final. We won’t enter into any correspondence, except with the winners.
There are no cash alternatives available. The prize is as described, and that's what you get. No passing tickets on or reselling them for cash. Unless we agree otherwise, the prize will only be awarded to the winners.
If you’re a winner, we want to shout about it! We might publish (or share if we get a request to hello@virginstartup.org) information to confirm that we awarded the prizes – for example, the name and county of residence of the winners. If a winner wants to keep things private, simply drop us a line at hello@virginstartup.org. But bear in mind that we still need to provide these details and the winning entries to the Advertising Standards Authority or an equivalent authority if they ask.
If you’re a lucky winner, we might also ask you to join in on some promotional activities to celebrate your win – think website features and social media posts.
We want to keep things fair and square, so no funny business please. This includes things like entries using erroneous or fraudulent data, or information which is out of date or no longer accurate at the time of entering the Promotion.
We reserve the right to check who's playing by the rules, including by verifying their eligibility to enter, and to disqualify anyone who’s abusing or tampering with the Promotion, entering using fraudulent means or breaking these terms and conditions.
A FEW FINAL POINTS
We can't predict everything, and we're not responsible for any loss or damage that we couldn’t have foreseen or that results from things outside our control – including entries that aren’t registered or are delayed for any technical reason. That said, nothing in these terms is intended to remove or limit our responsibility for fraud or death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
The Promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with any social media platform where it is promoted and those social media platforms don’t have any responsibility in connection with the Promotion.
Sometimes things change, and we reserve the right to extend, withdraw, tweak or suspend the Promotion or these terms, including changing the prizes, if things happen that are outside our control, including, but not limited to, if the event is cancelled or postponed for any reason.
Your data is safe with us. All personal data that is submitted in connection with the Promotion will be used by us to run the Promotion, award the prizes, check eligibility, and make sure everything's above board and will then be deleted. All data will be used in line with current UK data protection laws and our Privacy Policy. We’ll only share data with other parties to fulfil your prize or if we’re required to by law or promotional marketing rules. You can ask us to delete your personal data at any time by emailing hello@virginstartup.org.
English law applies to the Promotion, these terms and any disputes that might happen in connection with them.
