1.2 All competitions shall be subject to the terms and conditions set out in these competition terms and conditions ('Competition Terms') unless expressly stated otherwise in the marketing associated with the relevant competition (for example, in the competition e-mail and/or on the relevant page on the Website ('Competition Materials')).

2. ABOUT US

2.1 We, Associated Weavers nv (owner of the Invictus brand) shall be the promoter of any competition unless stated otherwise in the Competition Materials.

2.2 Our details are: Associated Weavers, a company registered in Belgium whose registered office is at Weverijstraat 1, 9600 Ronse, Belgium.

3. OTHER TERMS THAT MAY APPLY

We may also supply additional terms that are specific to a competition, in the Competition Materials or otherwise, in which case those additional terms shall be deemed incorporated into these Competition Terms. We reserve the right to amend the Competition Terms.

4. ELIGIBILITY

4.1 Each entrant shall be notified of the Competition Terms at the point of entering a competition and a copy of any specific terms shall be made available on the Website or on request to us throughout the competition period. By entering the competition, entrants will be deemed to have read and understood these Competition Terms and be unconditionally bound by and comply with them.

4.2 Competitions shall not be open to any person who is:

  • a director or an employee of any of Associated Weavers companies;
  • an employee of an agent or supplier of any of Associated Weavers companies or any other person who is directly connected with the organisation of any particular competition; or

4.3 All competitions are open to the UK and EU countries, unless mentioned otherwise.

4.4 All entrants must be aged 18 or over unless any other age restriction is specified in relation to the specific competition (for example in the Competition Materials). Where the specific competition allows an entrant under 18 years of age to enter, entrants must obtain permission in advance from their parent or guardian. We reserve the right to request proof of age and/or proof of permission (as applicable) before awarding any prize.

5. HOW TO ENTER

5.1 The full details of the entry process for each competition (including any limits on the number of entries) shall be set out in the information provided at the point of entry (for example, in the Competition Materials). There is no purchase necessary and no charge to enter. Entrants are responsible for their costs to access computer networks (including standard data or communication changes for access to the Website if required).

5.2 All entries must be received by the closing date specified in the information provided to entrants for each specific competition (usually in the Competition Materials). If entrants are required to submit an answer to a question when entering a prize draw, entrants will be deemed to have entered upon submission of that answer. All entries received after the applicable closing date are automatically disqualified. No responsibility will be taken for any entry that is misdirected, lost for technical or other reasons or received after the closing date.

5.3 For some competitions, a social media account (such as a Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account) may be required for entry and the entrant may be required to show proof that the registration of their account occurred before the beginning of the competition. Entrants must be the owner of the account from which the entry is received. In the event of a dispute as to any registration or entry, the authorised account holder of the account used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorised account holder for the account. Unless otherwise specified, in the event that an entrant submits multiple entries in a single day via the same social media account, the first entry only shall be accepted. We reserve the right to disqualify any entrant using multiple social media accounts to obtain additional entries in breach of these Competition Terms.

5.4 We reserve the right to remove any offensive, infringing or inappropriate posts on our social media pages and elsewhere in connection with any competition and to exclude those responsible for such posts from any competition.

Entries made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other website or e-mail address, including but not limited to commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified. We reserve the right to disqualify, without prior notice and without liability to any entrant, any entries to any competition which we consider in our sole discretion to have been submitted by improper technical means, in breach of these Competition Terms and/or which we believe to be or have been notified is fraudulent.

16. INVALID PARTS OF THESE TERMS

If any part of the Competition Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Competition Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of the Competition Terms.

17. EVEN IF WE DELAY IN ENFORCING THESE TERMS, WE CAN STILL ENFORCE THEM LATER

Any delay or failure by us in exercising, or any waiver by us of, our rights under or in connection with these Competition Terms will not limit or restrict the future exercise or enforceability of those rights.

18. WHAT COUNTRY’S LAW APPLIES TO ANY DISPUTE?

For each competition, the Competition Terms and any dispute arising therefrom shall be governed by Belgian law and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Belgian courts. This choice of law does not deprive you of any mandatory protection afforded to you under the laws of any other country in which you reside, and this choice of jurisdiction shall not limit your right to bring proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction, including any other country in which you reside (if and to the extent permitted by applicable law).
