6.3. The Promoter makes no representations and gives no warranties about the Prize, its value, its condition, or any other information provided on the Website. The Promoter makes no representations and gives no warranties that the information provided on the Website is accurate, complete, or up to date.

6.6. Prize Warranty Disclaimer: The Promoter does not provide any warranties on the prizes. Where applicable, the original manufacturer’s warranty may apply to the prize, and any such warranty is provided solely by the manufacturer of the prize and not by the Promoter. The Promoter is not responsible for fulfilling any terms under the manufacturer’s warranty.

6.10. Competition Validity and Cash Alternative: The competition will proceed with the draw and winner selection process regardless of the total number of tickets sold. However, in the event that the total ticket sales fall below 50% of the available tickets, the Promoter reserves the right to offer a cash alternative.

The decision to introduce a cash alternative will be made at the sole discretion of the Promoter.

Winners

7.1. The decision of the Promoter is final, and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into.

7.2. The Winner’s full name will be announced during the live draw. If you wish for your name to be censored during the live draw, please contact info@megaglitch.co.uk with reasonable time left before the prize draw takes place.
