We reserve the right to broadcast the Competition at any time throughout each day during the broadcast schedule.

Please note that the Competition Entry Period as specified in these Competition terms and conditions are final and are not impacted by the time of broadcast of announcements advertising how to enter the Competition, which may in some circumstances be delayed.

ITEM 5: COMPETITION DETAILS

After the start of each Entry Period, the Winning Phrase and prize amount (the “Prize”) will be announced on air. The Winning Phrase will be the only winning answer which the randomly selected entrant must provide in order to win the Prize. The Prize will be a specified cash amount that entrants are trying to win.

We reserve the right to announce the Winning Phrase and Prize at any time during the Entry Period. We may also advertise the Winning Phrase and Prize on the respective Station’s Website, social media or via an SMS marketing message or via any other medium at our absolute discretion.

After the Entry Period has closed, one entrant from all of the valid entries received will be selected by automated random draw (the “Draw”).

In order to play the Competition, the entrant must answer their phone within 5 rings (or if no rings can be heard, within 16 seconds). The 5 rings (or 16 seconds if no rings can be heard) will be judged according to the Station audio recording (for the avoidance of doubt the sound of a “ring ring” shall count as one ring, not two), and the first words they speak must be the Winning Phrase, and this must be stated immediately upon answering the phone (for the avoidance of doubt the entrant must have started to speak the phrase within 5 seconds of answering the phone) in order to be declared the winner.

The entrant selected may be required to talk to the presenter / programming team, and the call may be recorded and played on-air (assuming there is no breach of these terms and conditions).

If they give the correct Winning Phrase, they will win the Prize. We may ask an entrant to repeat or confirm their answer.

The entrant will not win the Prize should they:

• fail to answer the phone at all (including if the call goes to voicemail); or

• fail to answer the phone within five rings (according to the station’s audio); or

• answer the phone beginning with any other words (including other words before the correct words, such as “Hello, winning phrase”); or

• fail to say anything at all; or

• fail to start saying the winning phrase within 5 seconds of answering the phone;

• be disconnected for any reason beyond our control;

• be inaudible for any reason.

For the avoidance of doubt, winners can say other words after the Winning Phrase and they will still win the Prize. However, where any foul or explicit language is used, we reserve the right to disqualify an entrant and any prize previously awarded will be forfeited.

If there are no words spoken (according to the studio’s audio recording) or the call goes to voicemail, even if the pre-recorded voicemail messages starts with the Winning Phrase, this will be judged as a failure to answer and no prize will be awarded. The answer given must be clearly audible to presenters and adjudicators and audible on the studio’s audio recording. If this is unclear or inaudible due to a poor signal, network issues or failure or any other reason, entrants are ineligible to win the Prize. If entrants appear in the judgement of the presenters and/or adjudicators to be driving illegally, they will not be eligible to win. Where there is any doubt in relation to whether or not an entrant has spoken the correct Winning Phrase or the Prize should be awarded, we reserve the right to defer decision making to an off-air adjudicator to check the audio recording with reference to these terms and conditions. All our decisions relating to the Competition and/or awarding of prizes are final and decisions will be made with reference to the audio recording on our systems. No discussions or correspondence with entrants or any other person will be entered into.

Where there has been a winner, a new Prize will be announced on-air. We reserve the right to announce a new Winning Phrase for the next Entry Period and Draw. Entrants will need to enter again to be eligible to win. All previous entries will not be valid for future Draws.

Where there has not been a winner, there will be a rollover and we reserve the right to announce a new Prize and Winning Phrase for the next Entry Period and Draw. The Prize will not be lower than the Prize for the previous Draw. All entries from the completed Draw, and any previous Draws, where no winner was declared, will automatically be eligible for the next Draw. Entrants do not need to enter again in order to be eligible but are able to do so if they would like to increase their chances.

We reserve the right to guarantee a winner for some Draws at our discretion. This will be clearly communicated on air throughout the Entry Period of that relevant Draw. Where a winner is guaranteed, if the first entrant chosen to play is not declared the winner, another entrant will be drawn at random and asked to play. This process will continue until that Draw is validly won.
