GENERAL RULES FOR DRAWS
General Rules ("Rules") For McDonald's Advantage Club Free Prize Draws
1. Participants
You must be a UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands resident and be 18 years of age or older. The following are not eligible to participate: (i) Employees and immediate family members of employees of any of McDonald's Restaurants Limited ("McDonald's "), its franchisees, licensees, subsidiaries, agents and advisors, (ii) other persons assisting with this promotion, (iii) any person not being an individual person, (iv) any syndicate or collection of persons acting in concert, (v) any person using the services of an entity carrying on the business of entering (or advising on entering) prize promotions and (vi) any such entity.
2. The Promotion
Individual McDonald's Advantage Club ("the Club") Free Prize Draws (each a "Draw") will be promoted from time to time on McDonald's website at www.mcdonalds.co.uk (the "Site").
Specific details for each Draw will be provided on the Site as the "Draw Rules" and shall include (i) the date of the Draw, (ii) the last date for qualifying to be entered into the Draw (but if none is stated then it shall be the day immediately prior to the Draw), (iii) the number and type of prize(s) to be won in the Draw and (iv) any additional conditions attached to the prize and/or any other terms which are specific to that Draw and are to prevail over these Rules.
Entries for each Draw shall comprise all of those persons who are registered as members of the Club on the working day immediately prior to the day the relevant Draw takes place.
Draws will continue to be promoted until such time as McDonald's elects (in its discretion) to suspend or terminate the conducting of any further Draws and without anyone having rights of notice thereof.
3. How To Enter
By registering via the Site as a member of the Club you will be entered into each subsequent Draw after the date on which McDonald's accepts your application to join the Club submitted via the Site. Entry will be automatic for such time as you remain a Club member and have not notified us of your wish not to take part in this promotion. You may unsubscribe from the Draws by responding to the email link provided with each monthly Club newsletter. Please note that we will not unsubscribe you from any other McDonald's services unless you provide a specific request in accordance with the particular service or in accordance with the privacy policy at www.mcdonalds.co.uk.
Limit of 1 prize per household or family.
4. Conduct Of Each Draw
All valid entries for a Draw will be collated and will compete for the prize or prizes described in the Draw Rules for that Draw. The prospective Draw winner or winners will be the first valid entry or entries drawn at random on the date the Draw is conducted. Where there is more than one prize available, the number of winners will be determined by the number of prizes available for that Draw and where there is more than one type of prize, the prize-types will be allocated in descending order from the first prize-type down through the runners up prize-types (the order being determined by McDonald's in its sole discretion).
5. The Prize
The prize descriptions are illustrative and not definitive. Further details are available on written request sent by pre-paid post to McDonald's at the address below marking your envelope "MAC prize description". Your request will be assumed to be deemed to relate to the prizes for the then current promotion unless you state otherwise.
Prizes may not be exchanged, encashed or transferred. All cash prize amounts are stated in sterling.
Winner's prizes will be dispatched by post to the address provided on registration with the Club or as updated from time to time within 6 weeks of the Draw. Each prize is awarded conditionally upon the acceptance by the winner and (if relevant) his or her companions sharing the prize of the terms and conditions (if any) of the prize provider or, in the case of more than one contractor being involved in the provision of a prize, the providers. Details of such terms and conditions for a particular Draw may be obtained during the calendar month of the Draw and (wherever practicable) in both the calendar month immediately preceding and that following the month for the Draw, by sending a stamped self-addressed envelope to McDonald's at the address below marking your envelope "MAC Prize Conditions").
All unawarded or unclaimed prizes will lapse if not awarded (whether due to problems with delivery or otherwise) within 2 months of the Draw.
Any costs incurred additional to the prize package elements advertised on the Site are at the expense of winners and/or their companions unless expressly and specifically stated otherwise on the Site.
6. Responsibility
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (but not otherwise) McDonald's and its agents assume no responsibility and are not liable for (i) the accuracy or otherwise of the prize description or illustration, (ii) any representation, warranty, condition or guarantee in respect of a prize (other than those warranties or conditions implied by statute and which cannot be excluded), (iii) the non-availability, loss, late receipt, damage, illegibility or non-readability of a prize, any application to join the Club, notification, or other communication (iv) verifying whether the person awarded a prize is the person entitled to claim that prize, (v) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs which winners may be required to pay any time in connection with a prize, (save to the extent that McDonald's has expressly and specifically accepted responsibility on the Site).
7. McDonald's Rights
McDonald's may (i) extend any time limit or waive any of the Rules where a person might otherwise have been disqualified (without obliging McDonald's to relax the Rules in any other case whatsoever), (ii) terminate, suspend and/or extend any Draw or this promotion at any time due to supervening circumstances beyond McDonald's control including (but not limited to) technical or operational problems with the Site or for any fact, matter or circumstance which (in McDonald's opinion) adversely affects, or may adversely affect, the proper, fair or secure conduct or operation of any aspect of this promotion or its administration and (iii) substitute a product deemed to be an appropriate replacement and of equal or greater value in the place of any of the prizes. McDonald's decision in the exercise or interpretation of any of its rights or discretions in connection with these Rules and the Draw Rules shall be final and binding.
8. Assuarance
McDonald's will observe the British Codes of Advertising and Sales Promotion Practice when extending any deadline or otherwise exercising or relying upon any of its rights and remedies in these Rules.
9. General
A list of the names and counties of each prize winner may be obtained after the relevant Draw by sending a signed hand-written request along with a stamped self-addressed envelope to McDonald's at the address below. McDonald's may also wish to publicise on the Site statements made by or attributed to prize winners relating to McDonald's or this or any other promotion or offer, unless otherwise requested.
McDonald's may require such information (in addition to the information required to be given on applying to join the Club) as it considers necessary or desirable for the purposes of verifying eligibility or the validity of any entry and any prize may be withheld unless and until McDonald's is satisfied with the verification. The Draw Rules shall form part of these Rules and prevail over them in the event of any conflict of interpretation. All instructions, rules and conditions on the Site (other than the Draw Rules), together with any advertising or promotional materials, notification letters or Liability Release Forms relating to this promotion, shall also form part of these Rules although, in the event of conflict, these Rules shall prevail.
By applying to join the Club you agree (i) that McDonald's may use all information given in the application for McDonald's' general reference and in-house news communications without requirement as to any additional notice, any consent or any entitlement as to payment or other compensation and (ii) to be bound by the Rules and to their interpretation under English law and by the English courts.
Any entry will be void if it is deemed (in McDonald's discretion) to have been made by an ineligible person.
Nothing in these Rules shall affect your statutory rights. McDonald's may (in its sole discretion) decline to enter into any correspondence save as otherwise stated in these Rules.
