If at any time there is evidence that any of the Participants does not meet the requirements set forth in the Legal Terms or that the data provided for participation is inaccurate, their participation will be considered null and void, and they will be automatically excluded from the Promotion, losing all rights to the Prize (as defined later) granted under this Promotion.

3. What dates will the Promotion run between?
The starting date for entries is 01/10/2024 12:00pm BST (the "Start Date") and the closing date for entries is 31/10/2024 12:00pm BST (the "Closing Date"). The selection of the Winner and alternatives ("Selection Date") will take place on 31st october, 2024.
The Organiser will not change the dates unless forced to do so by unavoidable circumstances outside their control (for example, changes in applicable law or governmental guidance that means the Promotion is prohibited, or supply issues in respect of the Prize caused by circumstances outside of the Partner's control, such as unforeseeable labour shortages or transport delays).
In that case, the Promotion will be cancelled and to the extent possible reopened at a later date. All those entrants who sought to participate within the original terms will be given the opportunity to re-enter the Promotion.

5. How is the Winner selected?
The Winner will be the first correct entry drawn at random through a random number generator from all the Participants correct entries received from the Start Date up to and including the Closing Date. The Organiser’s decision as to the Winner is final and no correspondence relating to the selection of the Winner will be entered into. The Organiser may share the details of the Winner on the Website and social networks.
Two (2) alternative numbers will also be drawn, in the event that the Winner renounces or is ineligible to receive the prize.
The Winner will be notified via phone call or email and once notified, an acceptance document will be sent to the email address registered in the user profile. In the event that the Winner does not sign the prize acceptance document within five (5) days, the first of the two alternatives will be considered the Winner and will be dealt with as indicated in this paragraph. In the event that the first alternative, once considered the winner, does not express his or her acceptance or renunciation of the prize within the period indicated, the second of the two alternatives will be considered the Winner, and will be dealt with as indicated in this paragraph.
In the event that even the second alternative, once deemed the Winner, does not accept or renounce the prize within the specified period, a new draw will be held and a new winner and alternatives will be proclaimed.
The Organiser may also disclose publicly the Winner's surname unless the Winner objects by contacting feedback@hitched.email. The Organiser will give the Winner prior written notice of such disclosure and give the Winner 5 days to object.
