This bit always makes me :huh::huh:

" The prize cannot be sold or auctioned"

Really? I'd have thought that once it belongs to the winner they could do what they wish with it? I mean, I wouldn't sell it but some might - it's not really up to anyone except the actual owner of the thing is it?

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. It's the only reason why I try to win these things - people will pay hundreds for them on ebay and I'd much rather have the money. Obviously no point in me entering this comp.

But yes, it does seem odd that once it's yours, they're trying to claim that they have some power over what you do with it . . . can that be legal?

Absolute Radio have very similar terms in their competition rules

MimiJane

How on earth are they going to find out if you decide to sell it?

CheCazzo

I don't think it can possibly be legal - otherwise one would have to assume that they retain some degree of ownership over the item once you have won it and that would be absurd. I think it's just a 'frightener' - in my opinion a bit naughty because it's essentially unenforceable.

i think The Times are just copying & using the same T&C for all their comps.. because it makes much more sense when talking about prizes like the cinema pass they were giving away yesterday (the card would of been in your name & could of caused some problems when trying to sell it)

i cant imagine they care if you sold any other prize. anyway rival newspapers would rip them to bits if The Times tried to claim back prizes or take winners to court. :rotfl:

Enforcement is another matter but by entering you agree to the T&C's and if they include "The prize cannot be sold or auctioned" you have agreed to it, a recent ITV one had a prize that included a car owned by some known "person" and one of their T&C's did not allow you to mention the previous owner if you later sold the car.

It's a bit like a restrictive covenant you sometimes see when buying a house, the house maybe yours but you cannot do certain things with/to it.

A restrictive covenant is a promise by one person to another, (such as a buyer of land and a seller) not to do certain things with the land or property - See more at: http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/public/faqs/what-are-restrictive-covenants#sthash.CClID9jl.dpuf
