Promotions may also be subject to additional terms and conditions and/or promotional materials of which we notify you (“Specific Promotion Terms“), which form a part of, and may override, these Promotion Terms & Conditions in respect of the relevant Promotion. Please read Specific Promotion Terms carefully. By entering a Promotion, you agree to be bound by the Promotion Terms & Conditions.

1.2. We may change any part of the Promotion Terms & Conditions at any time with immediate effect.

1.3. All entrants to a Promotion must:

  • be, at the date of entry, at least 18 years of age;
  • resident in Great Britain or Northern Ireland;
  • comply with any other age and/or eligibility requirements (for example only, the requirement to hold a valid passport, visa and/or driver’s licence where a prize includes travel outside the United Kingdom and/or car hire) that are set out in the Specific Promotion Terms,

unless stated otherwise in the Specific Promotion Terms.

1.4. Proof of age may be required before a prize-winner can claim a prize. The eligibility of any entrant is at the sole discretion of ICR.

1.10. We will aim to notify prize-winners in writing within 30 days of the applicable closing date (or such other timeframe as is indicated in the Specific Promotion Terms).

Unless cancelled within the Cooling-Off Period or in accordance with any other term of these Subscription Terms & Conditions, all subscription contracts (including subscriptions which begin with introductory rates) are for a minimum term of 12 months (“Minimum Term“), commencing on the Commencement Date.

Unless agreed otherwise by us in writing, if you seek to cancel your subscription during the Minimum Term outside of the Cooling-Off Period, you will still owe the subscription fee for the Minimum Term (and/or for the remainder of any Renewal Period, if you are not a consumer) and for any notice period that applies to your cancellation (see clause 6 of these Subscription Terms & Conditions for details of notice periods that apply). Consumers shall be entitled to claim refunds for cancellations made after the Minimum Term (during any Renewal Period) in accordance with clause 6.
