Rules
- The following rules ("Rules") together with Global Radio's ("Global Radio") general and competition terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") (which can be found at (http://www.capitalfm.com/terms-conditions) apply to (with exception of rule 2.1) The Biggest Secret Santa radio competition ("the Competition") which will run from 7th November to 25th November 2011 at midday ("the Duration"). The "Radio Station" is the Capital Network. The promoter is Global Radio Services Ltd, 30 Leicester Square, London, WC2H 7LA.
- Anyone who participates in the Biggest Secret Santa Competition (a "Participant") will be deemed to have understood these Rules along with the Terms and Conditions and will be bound by them. The Terms and Conditions are available on request from the Radio Station.
- Entering
- To play the Biggest Secret Santa a Participant must go to www.facebook.com/capitalfm and click on 'The Biggest Secret Santa' tab on the left hand side of the page. Online entry will open on 7th November 2011 and close on 25th November 2011 at midday.
- Participants must allow access via the Facebook authorization pop up box and read and agree to the Terms and Conditions to be able to play. If Participants do not allow access or don't tick the box to agree to the Terms and Conditions then they will not be able to proceed.
- Being 'Secret Santa'
- Facebook users (Participants) who allow the application access to their profile then have the opportunity to select seven (7) friends to whom they would like Capital to give a gift. These Participants will be referred to as 'Secret Santas'. The gift that each of the 7 chosen friends will receive will range from a selection of gifts grouped into 3 tiers: top, middle and lower tier. 'Secret Santas' can only select 7 people; they will not be able to proceed until the full 7 have been chosen.
- Secret Santas can have the opportunity to select a further 7 friends if they find and input a secret code which has been generated by Capital FM. There will be a field which will allow Secret Santas to enter the secret code and select another 7 friends to receive gifts. There will be 30 secret codes and they can be found on the following platforms:
- Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/capitalfm) x3
- Twitter profile (http://www.twitter.com/capitalofficial) x3
- Capital FM Street Star promotional team x4
- On the Capital FM website www.capitalfm.com x1

- 'Secret Santas' Recipients
- Facebook users who have been selected to receive a gift from their friends (Recipients) will be alerted by a notification for an application request on their Facebook page. By clicking this Recipients will see that they have been given a gift.
- Before clicking 'unwrap your gift', Recipients must read and agree to the terms and conditions. They have to allow access to the application via the Facebook authorization screen to proceed. Once accepted the Recipient will be able to view the gift they have been given, and will have the option to claim it. They in turn will have the opportunity to become Secret Santas and nominate 7 friends to be Recipients.
- Recipients will have 48 hours to open the notification and claim their gift. If the Recipient fails to claim their gift within the 48 hours it will return back to the pool and be redistributed.
- The promotion will end at midday on Friday 25th November 2011. After this time, Secret Santas will no longer be able to select friends to receive gifts. However, Recipients selected before this time will still have their 48 hours to claim their gift, even if this period ends after midday on 25th November 2011.
- If they have been given a top or medium tier gift Recipients will be asked to complete and submit a form, giving their address and / or other relevant information. The form will contain the email address connected to their Facebook account.
- Please note: It's really important that Recipients provide accurate information. The Radio Station is not responsible for any failure to receive a gift due to inaccurate information being provided. For security purposes, gifts will only be sent to the address/email address provided during the claim process.
- Eligibility
- If a Recipient is not based in the United Kingdom they will not be able to claim their gift.
- If a Secret Santa is not based in the United Kingdom but they have chosen friends who are based in the United Kingdom to be Recipients, those Recipients based in the UK are eligible, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
- Members of staff, casual staff, contractors and freelancers for Global Radio, Microsoft and Holler may take part in the promotion as Secret Santas, but may not redeem any top or medium tier gifts allocated to them as Recipients. They are eligible to receive lower tier gifts.
- There is no age limit for participating. However if a Recipient is aged 14 or under, and their gift includes Capital Guest List tickets they will be required to have an adult 18 or over present. If a Recipient is given Snow Zone or Jingle Zone tickets and they are 16 and under, then they will need to be accompanied by an adult 18 and over.
- Multiple Entries
- There is no limit on how many times a user maybe selected as a Recipient. However, once a Recipient has claimed one top tier gift, they will not be eligible to redeem any subsequent top tier gift, though they may still redeem middle and lower tier gifts.

'Stream stories are restricted for this application'
Ditto, I receive the following invalid comment when submitting:
'Stream stories are restricted for this application.'
Yet it does appear to go through so hopefully the entries are submitting correctly.0 -
I was told it was too late to claim my gift , although it had only been sent 7 hours earlier overnight!0
-
I have left a query on the fb wall asking as to why it is presenting an error...will update if i get any reply.
Just to note though when the error box comes up it just tells me that its "unable to stream to friends walls" and then it does say that all 7 have been sent a gift - so i do think its working.
Mine are no longer being posted to my wall and i have to go into the Apps on the left hand side of my newsfeed to find any that people have sent me
Hope that helps x0 -
