All items offered as prizes must be authentic, legally sourced, exactly as described in the competition listing, and meet all UK safety and compliance standards. Physical prizes must be brand new and unused with full manufacturer warranties where applicable (luxury watches must include original box & papers, vehicles must have full UK registration, MOT, and inspection reports).
