Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before entering any of our raffles.
In short: every raffle must sell out before it's drawn. If it hasn't sold out by the draw date, it's automatically extended by 30 days, repeating for as long as it takes— never cancelled, and never replaced with a refund. Once it sells out, our team runs the draw.
1. About Us
Horse Power Competitions ("we", "us", "our") is a trading name of Horsepower Comps Limited, a company registered in Scotland under company number SC899189, whose registered office and postal address for free entries is Horse Power Competitions, 13 Wirran Place, Glasgow, G13 4NE. We operate raffles and giveaways at horsepowercomps.co.uk (the "Site"), and you can contact us by email at hello@horsepowercomps.co.uk or via our Contact page. These Terms & Conditions govern every raffle run on the Site. By purchasing an entry, or by submitting a free postal entry, you agree to be bound by these terms.
2. Eligibility
Entrants must be aged 18 or over and resident in the United Kingdom. Employees of Horse Power Raffles, their immediate families, and anyone professionally connected to the running of a raffle are not eligible to enter that raffle. We reserve the right to request proof of age and identity before releasing any prize.
3. How to Enter
Entries can be made by purchasing one or more numbered tickets via the Site for the ticket price shown against each raffle, subject to the maximum tickets per person stated on the raffle page. In accordance with UK prize promotion law, a free postal entry route is also available for every raffle — write your name, address, email, date of birth, and the name of the raffle you wish to enter on a postcard, and post it to:
Horse Power Competitions, 13 Wirran Place, Glasgow, G13 4NE
One postal entry per envelope. Postal entries are accepted at any time up until the raffle sells out (see Section 6), receive one ticket, are entered into the same draw as paid tickets, and carry no lesser chance of winning. See our Contact page for full details.
4. Payment
Prices are shown in GBP and include any applicable taxes. Your entry is only confirmed once payment has been successfully verified and your tickets have been allocated.
5. Refunds
Once a ticket has been allocated a unique number and entered into the draw, we are unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations, except: (a) where we cancel a raffle prior to its draw under Section 9; or (b) where you are otherwise entitled to a refund under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 or other applicable consumer law. A raffle that runs past its advertised draw date under the automatic extension described in Section 6 is not a cancellation and does not itself entitle you to a refund. Entry into a raffle is a service that begins as soon as your ticket is allocated and entered into the draw, so by completing checkout you acknowledge that performance begins immediately and that the standard 14-day cancellation right does not apply once your ticket has been issued. Please choose your ticket quantity carefully before completing checkout.
6. Draw Guarantee
Every raffle must sell out before it is drawn. If a raffle has not sold out by its advertised draw date, it automatically continues and remains open for ticket sales for a further 30 days. If it still has not sold out by then, it is automatically extended for another 30 days, and this repeats for as long as it takes to sell out — this extension is automatic and is never left to our discretion. Once a raffle sells out, our team runs the draw, often live on our social media channels. Except as set out in Section 9, a raffle is never cancelled and never replaced with a refund in place of a draw.
7. The Draw & Winner Selection
Once a raffle has sold out under Section 6, the winning ticket is selected using a cryptographically secure random number generator, so that every issued ticket (whether purchased or received via free postal entry) has an equal chance of winning. Winners are notified by email and/or phone using the details provided at entry, and are also announced on the Site and our social media channels.
8. Prizes & Cash Alternatives
Where a cash alternative is advertised alongside a physical prize, the winner may choose either option and has 7 days from being notified to make their decision, after which the cash alternative will be paid automatically. Cash prizes are transferred by bank transfer within 48 hours of the draw or the winner's decision. Physical prizes are delivered free of charge to a UK mainland address within 14 working days. Holiday and experience prizes (including travel, accommodation, and treatments arranged on the winner's behalf) are booked in consultation with the winner, subject to availability, through reputable, appropriately licensed and insured providers. Where a prize involves travel outside the UK, or any medical, cosmetic, or other treatment carried out by a third-party provider, our responsibility is limited to arranging and paying for that prize as advertised; the provider's own terms and any applicable travel or medical insurance govern the service itself, and winners are strongly advised to take out independent travel insurance before travelling. A cash alternative equal to the advertised prize value is available on request for any prize, including where a prize cannot reasonably be provided as advertised.
9. Our Right to Amend or Cancel
We reserve the right to amend these terms, correct pricing or descriptive errors, or withdraw a raffle prior to its draw date in exceptional circumstances (for example, prize unavailability or suspected fraud). Where we cancel a raffle prior to its draw, entrants will be offered a full refund of that raffle's ticket purchases.
10. Limitation of Liability
Save for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law, our liability to you in connection with any raffle is limited to the greater of (a) the advertised value of the prize for that raffle, and (b) the total amount you paid for tickets in that raffle. We do not exclude or limit our liability for failing to deliver, or pay the cash alternative for, a prize you have validly won.
11. Complaints
If you have a complaint about the running of a raffle, please contact us via our Contact page and we will investigate and respond within 14 days.
12. Governing Law
Horsepower Comps Limited is registered in Scotland, and these terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any dispute arising from them may be brought in the Scottish courts. As a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, and nothing in this clause affects your statutory rights.
