Get competition terms that line up with your entry route, prize and winner process

Usually when the promotion has real moving parts rather than a simple one-line giveaway post. If entrants need to follow a particular entry route, meet age or location criteria, accept prize conditions or rely on a stated winner process, the rules should match that setup closely. Problems often arise when the public-facing post is brief but the underlying promotion is more detailed. A drafted terms document helps record the rules you intend to apply and can cover points like redraws, prize substitutions, claim windows and disqualification scenarios.

The document will normally cover who is eligible to enter, how entry works, when the promotion opens and closes, what the prize is, how winners are selected, how they are notified and what happens if a prize is not claimed. It can also address restrictions on entries, reserve winners, disqualification, cancellation rights and limits around errors or unavailable prizes where appropriate. The exact wording depends on the promotion. The terms need to reflect the actual promotion mechanics and prize structure, rather than relying on broad generic clauses.

We usually need the key promotion mechanics, including where the competition will run, how people enter, whether purchase is involved, any age or location limits, the number and type of prizes, how winners will be chosen and how they will be contacted. It also helps to know whether the promotion is being run through social media, email, a website form or another channel. Promotion rules may depend on the mechanics and location of the competition, so those practical details matter to the drafting.

That is risky if the wording does not match your own promotion. A borrowed template may refer to a different entry method, different prize conditions or a winner process you are not actually using. It may also miss practical points such as reserve winners, prize availability, eligibility checks or how entries submitted through a platform are treated. Templates can be a rough starting point, but a tailored draft is usually more useful where the promotion has branded channels, multiple prizes, specific claim steps or location-based restrictions.

Not within this fixed-fee. We draft the terms and can flag where permit or approval issues may need separate attention, but applications and external approvals are outside the document work on this page. Approval depends on the relevant regulator or authority, and Where an external authority is involved, we will help you understand what may be needed for your situation.. Permit requirements can vary depending on where and how the promotion runs. If your campaign structure raises that issue, we can point it out and discuss separate support if needed.
