6.4 Odds of winning. The odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of Entries received. 

7. How the prize draw works

7.1 Date of prize draw. On or about 11 May 2023, we will conduct a randomised computer draw from eligible Entries received during the Promotional Period. Four Entries will be selected as follows: 

(a) one @Ooni.fr Entry will be selected; 

(b) one @Ooni.it Entry will be selected; 

(c) one @Oonide Entry will be selected; and 

(d) one further Entry (selected from all Entries, other than the Entries already selected pursuant to paragraph (a) to (c) above) will be selected. 

7.2 Winner. Each Entrant that submitted a selected Entry will be declared a winner (a Winner).

8. Notification of the Winner

8.1 Notification & Validation of Winner. Each Winner will be contacted by Instagram direct message within ten business days of selection (the Notification Message). The Winners will have five business days to claim their Prize following the date of their Notification Message (or such longer time as we may allow in our absolute discretion). A Winner must reply to the Notification Message to claim their prize. 

8.2 Verification of Winner. We reserve the right to verify the identity of any Winner by requesting (amongst other things) copies of that Winner's passport or driving licence and/or a proof of their address. 

8.3 Disputes as to the identity of the Winner. If there is a dispute about the identity of a person that has submitted an winning Entry, the Entry will be deemed to have been made by the person in whose name the Entry purports to have been made.

8.4 If the Winner does not collect their prize or is determined to be ineligible. If a Winner (the First Winner):

(e) does not respond within five business days to the Notification Message (or such longer time as we may allow in our absolute discretion); 

(f) rejects their Prize; or

(g) is otherwise determined to be ineligible for a Prize, 

we will select another winner (Reserve Winner) using a randomised computer draw, and the Reserve Winner will be deemed to be the Winner. This process will, if necessary, repeat three times to find an Entrant who is able and eligible to claim the Prize. (Note that the randomised computer draw will only select from Entries eligible for the First Winner’s prize). After that, if no Entrant is able and eligible to claim the First Winner’s Prize, we may determine that the First Winner’s Prize shall be forfeited and left unclaimed. We may carry out each of the randomized draws at the same time, so that the First Winner and each of the Reserve Winners are drawn at the same time and the Reserve Winners held in reserve (in the order in which they are drawn) until they are required (if at all).

8.5 Contact details. It is your responsibility to provide us with correct and complete contact details when submitting your Entry. Failure to do so may result in us not being able to contact you and in your winning Entry being disqualified.

8.6 Prize delivery. Each Prize will be delivered by post or courier within 60 days of us confirming the relevant Winner’s eligibility and the relevant Winner satisfying the verification steps described at Clause 8.2 above.  We may choose the delivery method of all prizes at our sole discretion. Note that Prizes will only be delivered to locations that we ship to (which can be found on our website). 

8.7 Taxes. To the fullest extent permitted by law we shall not be responsible for any taxes, customs charges or other costs required for or related to receiving a Prize (or a portion thereof). We will not compensate any Prize that cannot be redeemed or received by a Winner due to customs or other local regulations or that is damaged, delayed or lost by postal, courier or other mail service. 

9. Limits on our liability

9.1 If your Entry is lost. We are not responsible for any Entry, or other communication with us, that is lost, mislaid, damaged, delayed in transit, stolen, incomplete, illegible, garbled, destroyed, misdirected, not-delivered or not received by us for any reason whatsoever. We will not accept proof of posting or transmission as proof of receipt of an Entry or any other communication with us.

9.2 Promoter not liable. Insofar as we are permitted by law, neither we nor our employees, officers, directors, agents or other representatives will be liable to compensate you for (or accept any liability for) any loss, expense, damage, personal injury or death (Loss) occurring as a result of your participation in this Promotion (including, if applicable, your taking up of any Prize) except where such Loss is caused by our negligence. In these terms and conditions, Loss includes any indirect, special or consequential loss, or loss of profits. Your statutory rights are not affected.

9.3 Force majeure. If we are unable to run the Promotion as planned, (including as a result of viruses, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, legal restrictions or requirements, social media requirements, pandemic, epidemic, war, strikes, acts of God, or any other causes beyond our control), or if this Promotion is compromised or becomes corrupted in any way (whether electronically or otherwise), we reserve the right to modify, suspend and/or terminate the Promotion. If the Promotion is terminated before the end of the Promotion Period, we may select the Winner in a random draw from among all eligible Entries received as of the time and date of termination. Thereafter, we reserve the right to accept no further entries and award no further prizes.
