Terms of Service
Last updated: February 2026
1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Giveawayz platform ("Platform"), operated by Giveawayz Ltd ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
The Platform enables businesses ("Organisers") to create, manage, and run prize competitions, and enables individuals ("Entrants") to purchase tickets and enter those competitions.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
Individual competitions may have additional eligibility requirements (such as geographic restrictions) set by the Organiser. These will be clearly stated on the competition page.
3. Accounts
To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate.
4. For Organisers
Organisers are responsible for ensuring their competitions comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including UK prize competition law, the Gambling Act 2005, and consumer protection legislation.
Organisers must:
- Provide accurate descriptions of prizes and competition rules
- Include a qualifying question of sufficient skill
- Offer a free entry route where required by law
- Draw winners fairly using the Platform's provably fair draw engine
- Deliver prizes to winners within a reasonable timeframe
- Maintain appropriate terms and conditions for each competition
5. For Entrants
By purchasing a ticket, you are entering a prize competition. Ticket purchases are non-refundable unless the competition is cancelled by the Organiser.
You acknowledge that purchasing a ticket does not guarantee winning a prize. Winners are selected using our provably fair draw engine with cryptographic verification.
6. Payments
All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your payment card details.
Organisers receive payments directly to their connected Stripe account, less applicable platform fees. Platform fees are detailed on our pricing page.
Refunds are at the discretion of the Organiser, subject to applicable consumer protection laws.
7. Platform Fees
Organisers pay a monthly subscription fee and a per-transaction platform fee. Current pricing is available on our pricing page. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice.
8. Intellectual Property
The Platform, including its design, features, and content, is owned by Giveawayz Ltd. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the Platform.
Organisers retain ownership of their competition content, images, and branding. By uploading content, you grant us a licence to display it on the Platform.
9. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to manipulate competition outcomes
- Create fraudulent accounts or use disposable email addresses
- Interfere with the Platform's operation or security
- Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the Platform
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Giveawayz Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform.
We are not responsible for the actions of Organisers, including the delivery of prizes, and act solely as a technology platform facilitating competitions.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms. Organisers may cancel their subscription at any time, subject to their current billing period.
12. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or a notice on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
