   5.

9. Winner Selection: If there is one valid entry, received during the Promotion Period, which has guessed the correct number of easter eggs in the car boot, they will be declared the provisional Winner within 5 working days of the end of the Promotion Period. If there are multiple valid entries, received during the Promotion Period, which have guessed the correct number, all of those entries will be entered into a prize draw in order to select 1 provisional winner. If there are no valid entries, received during the Promotion Period, which have guessed the correct number, the valid entry received during the Promotion Period with the closest guess to the correct number will be declared the provisional Winner. If there are multiple valid entries, received during the Promotion Period, with the same closest guess to the correct number, all of those entries will be entered into a prize draw in order to select 1 provisional winner. In either case, the prize draw will be conducted within 5 working days of the end of the Promotion Period. The decision of the Promoter regarding the selection of the winner is final and binding and no correspondence will be entered into about it.
10. Winner Notification: The provisional winner will be contacted via Instagram Direct Message within 7 working days of Winner Selection (in accordance with clause 9 above) and will be asked to email the Promoter (at the email address provided by the Promoter) to provide evidence of their identity and eligibility, their full name and email address, and their acceptance of the Prize. Reasonable efforts will be made to contact the provisional winner. Once eligibility has been confirmed, the provisional winner will be confirmed as the winner. If the provisional winner does not respond to the initial contact within 14 days, the Promoter reserves the right to disqualify that entrant and award the Prize to a reserve selected in the same manner (as selected under clause 9). Reserve winners may have less time to respond.
11. Prize Acceptance: Notification to arrange fulfilment of the Prize will take place within 28 days of acceptance of the Prize. In the unlikely event that a winner has not received their Prize, the winner must inform the Promoter by email. If a winner does not do so, the Promoter reserves the right to not reissue the Prize or limit its value at its sole discretion.
12. Provided no objection is received, if you are the winner, your surname and county of residence will be made available by the Promoter to anyone enquiring by sending an email request to socialmedia@autotrader.co.uk one month after the close of the Promotion, for a period of 8 weeks. You can object to your surname or county of residence being published or request for the amount of information being published to be reduced during the Winner Notification process. Without prejudice, the Promoter will provide this information to the Advertising Standards Authority on reasonable request.
13. The Promoter may request that the winner participates in publicity arising from the Promotion. Participation is at the winner’s discretion and is not a condition of prize acceptance.

14. The Promoter seeks to run a fair and secure promotion and prevent abuse and cheating. If you enter in a way that is not consistent with these Terms & Conditions (including, without limitation, as listed below), your entry/ies (and any of your associated aliases) will be disqualified and any Prize awarded may be void and recoverable, and the Promoter reserves the right to bar you from entering future promotions for a period of at least six months. For this reason, the Promoter reserves the right at any point to:

    1. Verify the eligibility of entrants and/or provisional winners through multiple means by requesting such information it considers reasonably necessary for this purpose. Entry or a Prize may be withheld until verification is completed;

    2. Disqualify entries that are:

       1. not made directly by the individual entering the Promotion;
       2. made using anonymous email services such as, but not limited to, GuerillaMail, Dispostable or Mailinator;
       3. bulk entries from individuals, trade, consumer groups or third parties, and entries submitted by macros or other automated means;
       4. beyond the maximum allowed, or those using techniques such as ‘script’, ‘brute force’, multiple SIM cards for text entries, masking identity by manipulating IP addresses, using aliases or identities other than their own or any other means;
       5. are political in nature or feature content which is likely to be inconsistent with the brand values of the Promoter or which is otherwise considered offensive or derogatory by the Promoter;
       6. illegible, have been altered, reconstructed, forged or tampered with, or are incomplete; or
       7. which, in some other way, do not meet the requirements of these Terms & Conditions;
    3. Disqualify entrants who tamper with the entry process; and/or
    4. Cancel, modify or suspend the Promotion should it not be capable of running as planned for reasons including but not limited to tampering, unauthorised intervention, fraud, dishonesty, technical failures, or any other causes beyond the control of the Promoter which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this Promotion.

The Promotion is a re-run of the “Fill Your Boots” competition which formed part of the Promoter’s livestream event on Thursday 28 March 2024 from 12:00pm (midday) until 14:00pm (the “Previous Competition”), in respect of which the Promoter was unfortunately unable to select a winner. The Promotion is independent from the Previous Competition and therefore, if you submitted an entry(ies) into the Previous Competition, your(ies) entry will not automatically be entered into the Promotion. If you wish to be entered into the Promotion, you will need to resubmit your entry(ies) during the Promotion Period, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

If for any reason any element of the Prize is not available, the Promoter reserves the right, at its sole discretion to substitute another prize for it, of equal or greater value.
17. This Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram. By entering you are providing your information to the Promoter and not to Instagram, and Instagram is not responsible for any element of this Promotion.
18. The Promoter and its associated agencies and companies are not liable for any loss (including, without limitation, indirect, special or consequential loss or loss of profits, or loss of opportunity), expense or damage which is suffered or sustained (whether or not arising from any person’s negligence) in connection with this Promotion or accepting or using the Prize or disappointment or loss of opportunity for not receiving the Prize, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law. Nothing will exclude the Promotor’s liability for death or personal injury as a result of its negligence.
19.
