1. These Terms and Conditions

  • 1.1 These terms and conditions (which we will refer to as our “General Terms”) are the overarching general terms and conditions that apply to all the competitions promoted by Aspace Children’s Furniture (which we will refer to as “Aspace”, “we” or “us”). We refer to all these competitions as the “Competitions” in these General Terms.
  • 1.2 In addition to these General Terms, Competitions will also have their own specific terms and conditions (such as the details of how to enter, the opening/closing dates and the sort of prize you may win). Any such Competition-specific terms and conditions will be made available as part of the promotion of the particular Competition in publications and/or online. In these General Terms, we will refer to these Competition-specific terms and conditions as the “Specific Terms”.
  • 1.3 You should therefore read these General Terms in combination with any applicable Specific Terms. Where any such Specific Terms conflict with these General Terms, the Specific Terms will take precedence.
  • 1.4 We may change these General Terms at any time. You should check our website regularly for any changes, which will apply from the date that they are uploaded.
  • 1.5 By entering any Competition you agree that you will be legally bound by these General Terms and also any applicable Specific Terms.

2. Identity Of The Promoter Of The Competition

  • 2.1 The “promoter” of a Competition is the person who is legally responsible for operating it. Unless any Specific Terms tell you otherwise, the promoter of the Competitions will be Aspace.
  • 2.2 Aspace is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 09877304 and with its registered office at No.1 The Old Silk Works, Beech Avenue, Warminster, Wiltshire, BA12 8LX. You can write to us at this address if you have any concern in relation to any of our Competitions, setting out clearly (i) the name of the Competition, (ii)  your issue.

3. Eligibility Rules For Our Competitions

  • 3.1 Unless we impose a particular age limit in relation to any of our Competitions, they are open to all persons resident in the UK at the date of their entry. We reserve the right to require that the parent or guardian of any person aged 18 or less confirms in writing that they agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Competition and will accept any prize on behalf of a prizewinner under the age of 18.
  • 3.2 It will be our sole decision as to whether any eligibility requirement has or has not been met and we may require evidence or confirmation from entrants before awarding prizes. We reserve the right to disqualify any entry which does not comply with these General Terms.
  • 3.3 Employees (and their immediate family and household members) of Aspace, or any company involved in the Competition, or any such company’s subsidiary or associated companies, agents or members of their families or households, or any prize provider, or (if relevant) any advertising agency connected with a Competitor may not enter that Competition.

4. Entry and Entry Methods

  • 4.1 Emails: Where a Competition asks you to enter by email, your email must be addressed to the correct email address and must include the correct subject title, keywords or other answer format as required by the relevant Specific Terms. Entries which fail to do so will be void. Email entries are deemed to be received on arrival, not when they are sent from your email account.
  • 4.2 Social media: Where a Competition asks you to enter by social media including Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, your social media name must be correct and your entry must include a tag for @aspace_kids. Enteries which fail to do this will be void.

  • 4.4 Multiple Entries. Unless otherwise permitted pursuant to any Specific Terms, no person may enter any Competition more than once and persons may not enter or participate as part of a syndicate or on behalf of any other person, syndicate, group, society or company.

5. Prizes

  • 5.1 We reserve in all cases the right to replace the stated prizes with prizes that we consider to be of broadly equivalent value. We offer no cash alternative for non-cash prizes and prizewinners must accept prizes in the form offered.
  • 5.2 All prizewinners will be notified that they have won a prize within twenty eight (28) days of the closing date of the Competition via at least one (1) of the following methods:
  • (a) by telephone; or

  • 5.4 Prizes will only be delivered to an address within the UK. Should a prizewinner’s contact details change, it is their responsibility to notify us or the contact persons for the relevant Competition.
  • 5.5 We reserve the right to request proof of a prizewinner’s identity in the form of a passport or driver’s licence and proof of address in the form of a utility bill. In the event that a prizewinner cannot provide us with proof of identity reasonably acceptable to us, we may withdraw the prize and select another prizewinner.
  • 5.6 All prizes are subject to availability, non transferable and non exchangeable. Where prizes consist of entry tickets, attendance at events, holidays and similar time-specific benefits, they must be taken on the dates specified by us. If a prizewinner does not take any element of a prize at the time stipulated by us (or any relevant third party prize provider) then that element of the prize will be forfeited by the winner. No cash will be awarded in lieu of that prize or part of it.
  • 5.7 Any tax payable as a result of a prize being awarded or received will be the responsibility of the winner. Winners should seek independent financial advice prior to accepting a prize if this is a concern.
  • 5.8 We make no representation or warranty in relation to prizes provided and to the fullest extent permitted by law we shall have no liability to you in relation to any prize, its fitness for purpose, merchantability or otherwise. We reserve the right to disqualify entrants from entering our Competitions or prizewinners from receiving their prizes where any such person engages in unsafe, illegal, unsociable or inappropriate behaviour.
  • 5.9 All stated prize values are at the supplier’s recommended retail price in pounds sterling and are correct at the time of printing. We take no responsibility for any fluctuations in prize values. We award cash prizes in the form of a cheque in the name of the prizewinner. Any other arrangement will be at our discretion.
  • 5.10 No additional, further or other costs or expenses are included in any prize unless stated. For example, the costs of transport to and from a venue or an event are not included and any accommodation prize includes basic room charge only.
  • 5.11 Third party suppliers of prizes may also often stipulate their own terms, conditions or restrictions and all prizewinners agree to be bound by these. Subject to paragraph 19.2, Aspace shall have no liability in relation to any prize provided by a third party provider.

7. Events Prizes

  • 7.1 Where the prize for any of our Competitions involve the winner’s attendance at (or tickets to) an event, the prizewinner acknowledges that we are not liable or responsible if any part of the event is cancelled, varied or rescheduled for any reason. If this means that the winner (and/or any accompanying guests) cannot attend the relevant event, we shall be under no obligation to provide any cash or alternative tickets.
  • 7.2 Entrants proposing to redeem prizes involving, or participating in any Competition where it involves, travel, stunts or physical challenges should notify us of any medical condition and we may at our absolute discretion require entrants as a condition of entering the Competition or receiving the prize to:

  • 8.1 All prizes must be claimed within twenty-one (21) days of our notification of winning unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to award prizes unclaimed after this period to alternative prizewinners or not to award them at all and we shall have no liability in respect of the entry initially selected. Any prize which is returned as undelivered will be used for another Competition or sent to charity.
  • 8.2 We reserve the right to award prizes unclaimed after this period to alternative prizewinners or not to award them at all.

We absolutely love it when you share your photos of our products in your home, so much so that we are delighted to announce the start of our monthly Aspace style competition!

To enter our monthly Aspace style competition, entrants should post a photo that includes an Aspace product on a social media platform either Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. They should tag the photo with Aspace’s account for the relevant social media platform and also use #aspace to tag the photo. At the end of every month, the team at Aspace will pick their favourite Aspace styled photo and the winner will receive a £100 voucher to spend at Aspace.

The winners will be notified of their success through the social media platform in which they entered and the winner’s photo published within 7 days of the competition ending each month.

A minimum of 15 people will need to enter for there to be sufficient entrants into the competition each month. If less than 15 people enter that month then the competition will not run for that month.

By submitting your photo you are agreeing that Aspace may use the image content for marketing purposes. Aspace reserve the right to make reasonable edits to submitted photo content for stylistic reasons.

By submitting your photo, you warrant and represent that (i) you own the rights to the photo or, if the photo is subject to third party rights, that you have all required licenses, rights, consents and permissions to publish the photo and grant the necessary rights, and (ii) you are over 18 years of age.

To the extent permitted by law, you also agree to waive your moral rights in relation to any photos uploaded.

All uploaded photos are moderated by Aspace. We will not select for publication photos that contain any of the following content:

a. Copyrighted and/or Trademarked Material: please do not upload any photos or other content that infringes or might infringe the rights (e.g. copyright or trademarks) of a third party (such as content that contains any third-party content such as trademarks, logos, company names, insignia, photographs or works of art, excerpts of the books, photos/videos of TV or film scenes).

e. People / Facial Recognition: do not upload photos that contain people within the image which have not given you permission to take their photo, whether or not their face can be seen. This includes pictures of people within the photograph (e.g. a photograph within a photo frame on a desk).

f. Comments: make sure any information accompanying your photos are accurate (where they include facts) and are your genuinely held opinions (where you are giving your opinion). Don’t post anything which is in any way defamatory of any person or company.
