King: Default terms and conditions for promotions

If specific terms and conditions exist for a King promotion (a “promotion” in these terms refers to random prize draws or judged competitions, collectively referred to in these terms as "Promotions"), such terms shall be identified when we promote the Promotion. If there are no specific terms and conditions, the following default terms and conditions shall apply to you instead:

  1. This Promotion is operated and run by King.com Limited, a company registered in Malta whose address is Aragon Business Centre, Level 4, Dragonara Road, St Julians STJ3140, Malta (also referred to in these terms as ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’).
  2. By entering this Promotion, you agree that you have read and accept these terms and conditions.
  3. You must be at least 18 years of age at the time of entry in order to enter this Promotion.
  4. You must not enter this Promotion if you or any of your immediate family or household (whether legally related or not) is an employee, contractor or sub-contractor of King or its associated companies, agents, professional advisors, advertising and promotional agencies involved in the Promotion.
  5. Only one entry per person is permitted. If more than one entrant enters with the same or similar entry, only the first entry will be valid and entered into this Promotion.
  6. In the event the Promotion is a competition, you must only submit entries that are your own work.
  7. Entries that are incomplete, corrupt or illegible will not be accepted.
  8. We reserve the right to verify any entries and winners. We are entitled to refuse to reward prizes and/or disqualify you if make or attempt to make any entry to this Promotion that is in King’s reasonable opinion contrary to these terms and conditions or by its nature unfair to other entrants. This might include entries that are made by automated means, fraudulent, made in bulk, made on behalf of another person, or made by hacking, cheating or deception.
  9. You must comply with the laws that apply to you in the location where you access our Promotions from. If any laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit you from entering our Promotions, you must comply with those legal restrictions, or, if applicable, refrain from entering any of our Promotions.
  10. How to enter

  11. The Promotion opens at such time as is specified in the first post by King inviting entrants to enter (“Post”) (or if no such time is specified, at the time of such post itself) and closes at the date and, if applicable, time, specified in such post. Any entries outside of this period will not be valid.
  12. You can enter by completing the task described in the Post and submitting your entry in accordance with any specifications and hashtags as set out in that post. Your entry will not be valid if you submit it in any other way.
  13. You do not have to pay to enter any of our Promotions. However, you are responsible for any phone or internet charges you may incur in entering.
  14. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. We do not accept responsibility for entries that are lost or delayed or that we do not receive.

We will notify the winners by direct message on Facebook (if you entered via Facebook), Instagram (if you entered via Instagram), Twitter (if you entered via Twitter), Snapchat (if you entered via Snapchat), YouTube (if you entered via YouTube), TikTok (if you entered via TikTok), or (if none of the above apply) the direct message function on the applicable social media network within 30 days of the Promotion ending.

  38. We may wish to transfer all or a part of our rights under these terms to someone else without your consent. You agree that we may do so provided that the transfer does not significantly disadvantage you.
  39. This Promotion and its terms and conditions shall be governed by the laws of England. Additional rights which you may have as a consumer remain unaffected by these terms.
