This process will be repeated up to three times before the prize is withdrawn.

9.6 Winner publicity.The Promoter may publish the winner's first name and county of residence on its website and social media channels, but only after the winner has been contacted and has given explicit consent. If the winner does not consent, a text-based announcement referencing the winning Entry Reference Number only will be published. In-venue photographs or video will only be posted to social media if the winner has given consent before the content is published. The winner may opt out by notifying quackcomps@gmail.com at any time before or within seven (7) calendar days of notification.

9.7 Finality.Subject to the complaints procedure in clause 13, the Promoter's decision on all matters relating to the Competition and the Draw is final, subject to entrants' statutory rights under applicable Irish law and the right to seek independent legal redress, including through the procedures described in clause 13.

10.1 Cancellation by the Promoter. If the Promoter cancels the Competition due to circumstances outside its reasonable control (see clause 15), a full refund of all Paid Entry fees will be issued within 14 calendar days.

10.2 Rescheduling. If the Competition is rescheduled rather than cancelled, entrants who do not accept the new date may request a full refund within 14 calendar days of the rescheduling notification being issued.

10.4 Failed payments. A Paid Entry is created and confirmed only on successful completion of payment. If a payment fails, no entry is created. No refund is due in respect of a failed payment.

10.5 Wrong-answer attempts. The Stripe checkout is only presented after a correct Skill Question answer has been validated. Entrants who answer incorrectly are not directed to checkout and no payment is taken.

10.6 Disqualification refunds. Where a Paid Entry is disqualified after payment for fraud, misrepresentation, or attempted manipulation, no refund is payable. Where disqualification arises from ineligibility through no deliberate fault of the entrant, a full refund will be issued within 14 calendar days. Disqualification for failure to produce age verification at the venue does not attract a refund, as this requirement was clearly stated at entry.

11.1 Leisure-activities exception. Competition 1 is a contract for a service related to a leisure activity taking place on a specific and fixed date (the evening of 19 June 2026 at The Killarney Grand). The Promoter's position is that Paid Entries fall within the exception for contracts relating to leisure activities at a specific date or period of performance under s.17(1)(l) of the Consumer Rights Act 2022. On this basis, the 14-day right of withdrawal that would otherwise apply to distance contracts does not apply to Paid Entries for this Competition.

11.2 Immediate performance consent (independent mechanism). In addition to and independently of the leisure-activities exception in clause 11.1, at Step 3 of the entry flow, before payment is processed, the Promoter requests your express prior consent to immediate performance of the entry contract (i.e., your entry being added to the draw pool without delay) and your acknowledgment that, once your entry has been processed, your 14-day right of withdrawal under s.17(1)(c) of the Consumer Rights Act 2022 will be extinguished. A record of this consent is created at the time of entry. If you do not wish to lose your right of withdrawal, do not proceed to payment.

11.3 Other rights. In all cases, entrants retain the refund rights set out in clause 10. Nothing in these Terms removes or restricts any statutory right that cannot be excluded by law.

12.1 Controller. Quack Competitions Ltd (company registration pending) is the data controller in respect of personal data collected in connection with this Competition. Data queries: quackcomps@gmail.com.
