Also providing false personal details and using fake profiles may result in the exclusion from the Competition. As the case may be, prizes may be denied ex post and/or be claimed back.

    5. Early cancellation or discontinuation of the Competition

    For those like me, who have not been able to enter below, it's their answer:
    Hi Xxxxxxxxx, 

    if you're looking on your computer -- you'll need to delete the cookies/cache on your browser, refresh the page and hit the button on there, then the pop-up will appear. If you're looking on your phone, you'll need to clear the cookies on there before you can see the pop-up—apologies for the slight hurdle here.

    Fingers crossed it works after that!

    Your HolidayPirates team

    I BET NONE OF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT !


    Thanks to those who help us to win !
