1. Introduction
1.1 These are the general terms and conditions (“General Terms and Conditions”) which apply to any competition, prize draw or prize promotion which we may run, whether on our website(s), social media platform(s), on-air or otherwise (each is referred to as a “Competition”).
1.2 These General Terms and Conditions may be amended from time to time and you should check this page for changes.
1.3 Each Competition will have its own specific rules (“Specific Rules”) and by entering a Competition you agree to be bound by these General Terms and Conditions along with the applicable Specific Rules (together, the “Competition Terms and Conditions”). Specific Rules might include entry instructions and any other details, rules or conditions relating to a particular Competition, and might be published on our or our Competition Partners’ website, social media platforms, or may be found in any other media which features a Competition. If any Specific Rules conflict with these General Terms and Conditions, the Specific Rules will prevail.
1.4 In the Competition Terms and Conditions, “we”, “us” “our”, all mean Big Canopy Campout. Our address is Smiddy Cottage, Mill Road, Kingussie, Scotland, PH21 1LF .
2. Start and end date/time
2.1 Each Competition will start immediately (i.e., as soon as it is first promoted), unless a later start date/time is specified. The closing date/time for a Competition will be made clear in the Specific Rules or the relevant Competition materials. All times will be based on UK time.
3. Entering a Competition
3.1 Unless the Specific Rules specify a different geographic region or a different minimum age, each Competition will be open to individuals aged 18 or over (at the time of entry).
3.2 Where a Competition is open to individuals younger than 18, the age requirements for the Competition will be specified in the Specific Rules. We reserve the right to request parental or guardian permission for such individuals to enter and may require a release form to be signed.
3.3 Certain Competitions may have additional eligibility requirements, for example, they may be restricted to certain post codes. If applicable, these will be detailed in the Specific Rules.
3.4 Our employees, agencies, freelancers, contractors (and those of any of our Competition Partners, associated companies or prize providers) and their immediate family members or households (whether related or not), and anyone else professionally involved with the relevant Competition, are excluded from entering any and all of our Competitions. (“Excluded Individual(s)”).
3.5 To enter, you must follow the entry process for the Competition, which will usually be explained in the Specific Rules and/or competition materials or announcements. We cannot guarantee entry for (and accept no responsibility for) entries which are mis-spelt, corrupt or ineligible, or for entries which haven’t reached us – for example, postal, telephone, text message, online or social media entries not received because of network incompatibility, technical faults or for any other reason. Entries received outside of the opening and closing times of the Competition will not be accepted.
3.6 When entering a Competition you must provide us with your real name. In accordance with the provisions at 7.3 below, we may publish your name, nearest geographical location and other details. If you do not want your real name to be disclosed to the wider public, please let us know in advance. If you fail to provide us with your real name, you may be disqualified, in our discretion, and we reserve the right to select another entrant to participate in the Competition or withdraw the prize and select another winner, as applicable.
3.7 Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules, you may only enter once or vote once (as applicable) for each Competition and no bulk, automated, machine assisted, third party, syndicate or other group entries will be accepted. We will disqualify any entries which, in our reasonable opinion, appear to have used any of these entry methods, for example, entries or votes from the same IP address, email address, postal address, telephone number, or similar or entries which we, in our sole discretion but acting reasonably, consider to be suspicious or fraudulent. You may not enter a Competition if you have been given the answer(s) or any other relevant information in relation to the Competition, directly or indirectly by any Excluded Individual.
3.8 If you are ineligible to take part in the Competition (e.g. because of age restrictions or previous exclusions), your entry cannot be transferred to anyone else. If we find out that you are ineligible to take part, you may be disqualified and we reserve the right to select another entrant to participate in the Competition or withdraw the prize and select another winner, as applicable.
3.9 Unless otherwise specified, there is no additional charge to enter a Competition.
4. Winner selection/notification
4.1 For each Competition, there will be only one grand prize winner unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules.
4.2 Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules: In the case of a prize draw, winner(s) will be selected at random. This will be done by either (a) an automated process, or (b) a process which will be conducted or supervised by an independent person, or (c) such process as is explained in the Specific Rules. In the case of a competition, where the selection of a winning entry is open to subjective interpretation (for example, in the case of a written submission such as “tell us in 100 words why your fungi is the best fungi in the world”), the prize winners will be selected by an independent judge or a panel of judges that includes one independent judge. The names of the independent judges will be made available on request by writing to hello@bigcanopycampout.com – the judges may vary with each competition, so please ensure you identify the relevant competition when making that request. However, for competitions that involve the selection of winners at random from a pool of eligible entrants, such random selection will be conducted using a random computer process.
4.3 If you win a prize:
4.3.1 We will notify you within the timeframe set out in the Specific Rules, (this will be no later than 28 days of the end date of the Competition if no timeframe is set out in the Specific Rules); and
4.3.2 you will need to respond to this notification within the timeframe set out in the Specific Rules (this will be no later than 28 days following the date of our notification if no timeframe is set out in the Specific Rules) and follow the instructions provided to you. You will need to provide proof of your ID, age, and address. Once you have provided all the required information, we will then send you the prize within 28 days of our receipt of this, subject to the provisions set out at 5.3 below. We will not be liable for any prizes which are lost, delayed, damaged, or destroyed in transit.
4.4 If: (i) you are unable to provide us with a valid form of ID and/or proof of age or address; (ii) you provide us with incorrect or fraudulent information; or (iii) you fail to comply with any other instructions or time limits notified to you (including but not limited to the additional requirements with regards to a prize at 5.4 below), you will forfeit your right to the prize and we reserve the right to withdraw the prize and select another winner.
5. Prizes
5.1 The prize or prizes will be as described in the relevant Specific Rules. Imagery is for illustrative purposes only, and colours and other minor details may vary. Anything which is not expressly included in the prize description in the Specific Rules is not included as part of the prize. For example, without limitation, transport/travel, meals, refreshments, accommodation, insurance, spending money, are all excluded from the prize unless expressly included.
5.2 Each prize is subject to availability and is non-transferable, non-refundable and, (unless we offer it), no cash alternative is available. Where prizes consist of entry tickets, events, and other timespecific prizes, they must be taken on the dates specified by us.
5.3 We and our Competition Partners will, of course, try to provide the prize as described and try to provide the prize within the timeframe set out in the Competition Terms and Conditions. Occasionally, circumstances beyond our reasonable control might make this difficult or impossible. For example, if a prize involves a meet and greet with a celebrity they may be unwell or their commitments may change, or if the prize involves travel or tickets to an event, weather conditions or other circumstances (including without limitation local or national rules or official guidance relating to a pandemic) might mean that plans are disrupted, postponed or cancelled. If we consider it necessary or appropriate, a prize or prizes (or part thereof) might be varied or swapped for a suitable alternative of equivalent value which will be decided in our sole discretion.
5.4 You will not be entitled to receive a prize which, for any reason, you would be prohibited by law from purchasing, using, owning or possessing, and you must not enter a Competition to win such a prize. If you are the winner of such a prize, you will be disqualified, and we reserve the right to withdraw the prize and select another winner. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to an alternative prize unless we decide in our sole discretion to grant you an alternative prize (instead of disqualifying you and selecting an alternative winner).
5.5 Any tax or other charge payable in conjunction with the prize will be your sole responsibility. If this is of concern you should speak to a financial advisor.
5.6 The prize cannot be used in conjunction with other offers, Competitions or prizes.
5.7 Third party terms and conditions may apply to certain parts of a prize, where applicable. For example, where the prize contains ticket(s) to an event, you and any guest(s) and/or travel companion(s) will not only be bound by the Competition Terms and Conditions, but also the event organiser and venue owner’s rules and all terms and conditions set out on the ticket.
5.8 Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Rules, you may not win more than one prize per Competition and we reserve the right to withhold or reclaim any second or subsequent prize.
5.9 So that we can ensure the fairness of our Competitions, we reserve the right to prevent you, at our absolute discretion, from entering any of the Competitions for a period of six months (“Exclusion Period”) if you have won more than one prize during the previous six months. If we choose to exercise this right, we will notify you in writing (for example by email). If you enter any Competition during the Exclusion Period, you may be disqualified and we reserve the right to: (i) select another entrant to participate in the Competition or withdraw the prize and select another winner, as applicable; (ii) impose either a further exclusion period of twelve months from the date of your last entry attempt, or a longer or permanent ban, if we deem this necessary or appropriate; and/or (iii) disqualify your mobile phone number(s) and email addresses from future Competitions during this Exclusion Period. If you are disqualified, entry fees (if any) will not be refunded.
6 Additional terms relating specifically to prizes involving an event
6.1 Where a Competition prize involves attendance at or tickets to an event, you acknowledge that we are not liable or responsible if you fail to attend the event for any reason. If the event is cancelled or rescheduled, we will either secure tickets for the winner to attend the rescheduled event if practical (the date and time will be decided solely between us and the prize provider) or, in our discretion, provide an alternative prize.
6.2 Where a Competition prize involves an event, you acknowledge that this prize is subject to the terms and conditions of the venue, the promotor and the ticket agent and you must comply with all such terms and conditions, including but not limited to any relevant instructions and health and safety requirements.

If you do become aware of any confidential information relating to the Competition, including (without limitation) any information that has not yet been made public broadcast and/or information we ask you to keep confidential indefinitely, you must keep this information confidential until we confirm in writing (for example, by email) that it is no longer necessary to do so. If you fail to do this, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect you have failed to do this, we reserve the right to disqualify you from the Competition in our discretion, and/or to withhold the prize from you and award it to another entrant, and/or to take any other measures we consider necessary or appropriate based on the relevant circumstances.
