Employees, contractors and agents of Zilch, their immediate families and household members, and anyone professionally connected with the giveaway are excluded. Internet access and a valid public Instagram account are required. Entries made through agents, third parties, organised groups or automated means are not permitted.

To enter, during the Promotional Period participants must:

a. take a picture with their physical Zilch card being used “out in the wild”; and

b. email the picture to [email protected]

Multiple entries are permitted. Each different picture emailed in will count as one entry.

No purchase is necessary. Standard internet and data charges may apply.

Participants may be encouraged to share their pictures on Social Media but this is not a requirement to enter the giveaway.

5. Entry Requirements and Conduct

Entries must not contain any content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate, or that promotes third-party brands, products or services.

Zilch may, at its sole discretion, disqualify any entry that breaches these terms, appears to manipulate the entry process, or is otherwise unfair to other participants. Ensure that your submission does not show a child; wherever reasonably possible, no other person is identifiable in the photograph; and any person who is identifiable in the photograph has been informed about the submission and has agreed to appear in it.

Submitted photographs will be treated in one of the following ways:

Identifiable Images: photographs containing an identifiable person or other personal data will be used only to administer the giveaway, assess the entry and, where relevant, verify or evidence the winning entry. They will not be used for Zilch’s advertising or general marketing and will normally be deleted within three months after the end of the Promotional Period.

Non-Identifiable Images: photographs that do not contain personal data may be retained and used by Zilch for the marketing and promotional purposes described in clause 10.

6. Prize

10 winners will each receive £50 in Zilch rewards, credited to their eligible Zilch account. Zilch rewards are not cash, have no cash value, and are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and non-refundable. No cash alternative is available. Rewards are subject to the applicable Zilch account terms, reward terms and any restrictions notified to the winner. A winner must have an eligible Zilch account and complete any required verification to receive the prize. If they do not, the Promoter may withdraw the prize and select an alternative winner. Each entrant may win a maximum of one prize. The Promoter may substitute a prize with an alternative of equal or greater value where necessary. Prizes will be credited within 7 days of successful verification and acceptance.

No physical prize will be delivered. Winners must have an active and eligible Zilch account to receive the prize. If a winner cannot receive Zilch rewards, the Promoter may withdraw the prize and select an alternative winner.

7. Winner Selection and Notification

At the end of the Promotional Period, ten winners will be selected at random from all valid entries using a verifiably random computer process via a third-party random selection tool. Zilch will notify the provisional winner as soon as practicable by email to the email account used to enter. The provisional winner must respond within 5 days of the notification with their full name (as associated with their Zilch account) and age confirmation. If the provisional winner does not respond in time, fails verification, or declines the Prize, Zilch reserves the right to disqualify that entrant and select an alternative winner using the same process. Zilch may request reasonable proof of identity and eligibility (for example, a copy of a passport or driving license and proof of UK address).

8. Publicity and Winners’ Details

The winner’s surname and county may be made available on request for 1 month after the end of the Promotional Period by emailing [email protected], subject to the winner’s right to object or to request limited disclosure. If you object to your surname and county being made available, please inform Zilch when you claim the Prize. In such circumstances, Zilch must nevertheless provide the information and winning entry to the Advertising Standards Authority on request. The winner may be asked, but is not obliged, to participate in reasonable publicity relating to the giveaway.

The lawful basis for processing of the personal data of participants is Zilch’s legitimate interests in administering and protecting the integrity of the giveaway, verifying eligibility, preventing fraud or misuse, responding to complaints or regulatory requests, and maintaining appropriate records. Personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Winner records: information required to evidence the draw, award and fulfilment of the Prize may be retained for up to six years after the end of the Promotional Period where reasonably required for legal, accounting, audit or regulatory purposes.

Zilch may retain a record that verification was successfully completed without retaining the underlying document.

Exceptions: where information must be retained in connection with a legal claim, regulatory request, investigation or legal obligation, Zilch will restrict its use to that purpose and delete it when continued retention is no longer necessary.

Individuals have rights under data protection laws in relation to their personal data, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions.

By submitting a Non-Identifiable Image, the participant grants Zilch Technology Limited and its group companies a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferable and sublicensable licence to use, copy, store, edit, publish and share the image for advertising, marketing, promotional, social media, website, app, email, public relations and internal communications purposes.

Consumer statutory rights are not affected.

Zilch may refuse to award the Prize or withdraw entitlement where it reasonably suspects an entrant of breaching these terms, engaging in fraud, dishonesty, or any unlawful or improper conduct, including creating multiple or fake accounts, using bots or scripts, or interfering with the operation of the giveaway. Zilch’s decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into.

13. Cancellation and Variation

Zilch reserves the right to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the giveaway or these terms on reasonable notice where practicable. Any material changes will be communicated via Zilch’s Instagram account.

14. General

By entering, participants agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
