1. The prize draw will be open at 17th March 2021 at 10:00 and close at 19th March 2021 at 22:00.
2. Entry to the prize draw is only by texting the keyword CAR to short code 81155. Text messages will cost your standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates – please check with your provider). You will then receive a free bounce-back message from 62345 informing you that a voluntary donation of £10 to Comic Relief will be taken 60 minutes after the entry text was received, unless you reply to 62345 with the word CANCEL before 60 minutes has passed. If you don’t respond CANCEL to 62345 within those 60 minutes, you will then receive a text from 70210 confirming your donation and asking you if you’d like to make a Gift Aid declaration.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, opting out of the voluntary donation will not affect your entry into the prize draw.
4. The prize draw is open to all residents of the UK, aged 18 or over, except staff members of Comic Relief (the organisation behind Red Nose Day), of BBC Group, of any of the prize providers, and their close relatives, or anyone connected with the prize draw. Proof of age, identity and eligibility may be requested.
5. Please ensure you spell the keyword correctly and send your text message to the correct short code, however, if we, acting reasonably believe you are trying to enter, we will still accept the entry even if you entered the keyword incorrectly. Alternatively, we may instead send you a message to let you know that your entry has failed. The message we send to you in this instance is not a confirmation message so, whilst you will be charged your standard network message charge, you will not be entered into the competition and will not be donating to Comic Relief. If your text message is received outside the times and dates specified for the prize draw, you will not receive a bounce-back message but may still be charged your standard network message charge. You will not be donating to Comic Relief nor will you have entered the prize draw. You will not have been added to any marketing databases if we send you a follow up text unless you have expressly requested to be.
6. You may enter the prize draw a maximum of four times a day (midnight to midnight UK time). You will receive a free bounce-back message regarding the donation each time, and if you wish to opt out of the donation you need to respond to each such message received from 62345 by texting the word CANCEL to 62345. If you try to enter into the prize draw more than four times a day, you will still be charged your standard network rate but will not be charged any donation to Comic Relief. Also note that pre-paid customers who are trying to donate £20 or £30 but have insufficient credit, may only be charged £10 or £20 (as applicable).
