(f) any person entering via an agent, or using the services of or which is an entity carrying on the business of entering (or advising on entering) prize promotions; and

(g) any person using any application or process to submit an entry on that person’s behalf automatically or by proxy.

3. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

3.1 There is a maximum limit of 1 entry per McDonald’s (UK) app account per day (being any 24-hour period starting from midnight) (a “Day”).

3.2 Each Gift Tag Code is restricted to one use per McDonald’s (UK) app account.

3.3 To participate in the Promotion an entrant must have a McDonald’s (UK) app account accessible via a compatible device. App registrants will be required to accept the terms and conditions of use of the McDonald’s (UK) app (which are available at https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/terms-and-conditions.html) and be aware that the registrant’s data will be held and managed in accordance with the Promoter’s Privacy Statement. It is the registrant’s responsibility to obtain permission in advance from the person who owns or pays for the device and internet-service. The email address used to register for a McDonald’s (UK) app account must be the same email address that the entrant then uses to play and claim prizes in the Promotion.

3.4 To access the Promotion and enter Gift Tag Codes, an entrant must click on the Gift Drop asset within the McDonald's (UK) app (e.g. splash screen, tile or banner), confirm they are 18 years old or over and accept these Terms. Once an entrant successfully enters a Gift Tag Code for game play, a Gift Drop Wallet personal to that entrant will be automatically created and available (“Gift Drop Wallet”). The Gift Drop Wallet can be used to initiate and store selected prize claims. If an entrant creates more than one Gift Drop Wallet by registering for multiple McDonald's (UK) app-accounts using different email addresses, that entrant will not be able to combine the wallets and may be disqualified from participating in the Promotion if the Promoter determines this to be appropriate (in its reasonable discretion).

3.5 Participation in selected aspects of the promotion may require opt-in to the MyMcDonald's Rewards program.

4. HOW TO ENTER

4.1 Once per day of the Promotion the entrant may enter a 5-digit Gift Tag Code to reveal 1x breakfast food offer + 1x main day food offer (see Section 5 for the terms and conditions applying to use of a food offer). In addition, the valid entry of a Gift Tag Code in the McDonald’s (UK) app (an “App Entry”) provides a chance to win a prize from the Prize Pool (see prize pool details in Section 6).

4.2 Upon the recorded receipt by the Promotion servers of an App Entry, the Promotion-servers will either award a winning or losing outcome (each a “App Outcome”). A winning outcome means that the App Entry has been the first valid entry recorded by the Promotion-servers as having been received at one of the pre-determined “winning moments to which one of the prizes stated in section 6 has been pre-allocated or, if no entries were received at that winning moment, received soonest after it. If the award of any prize is declared invalid for any reason, it will lapse and shall not be re-awarded.

4.3 Each App Entry will receive a notification in the McDonald’s (UK) app of one type of App Outcome. The Gift Drop Wallet will only contain the prize pool items allocated to that McDonald’s (UK) app account via a winning outcome. The 1x breakfast food offer + 1x main day food offer received as part of that day’s game can be found in ‘Offers’ or ‘Offers and Rewards’ (as applicable) section of the McDonald’s (UK) app.

4.4 The number of winning moments (and the prizes to be allocated to those winning moments) have been randomly allocated, but proportionately to each corresponding day during the Promotion, subject to due weighting to take account of anticipated rates of game-play at different times of the Day.

6.3 Conditions applicable to all Prizes:

(a) Prizes may not be exchanged, in whole or in part, for any cash or other alternative (unless stated) and prizes or their codes are not transferable, divisible or permitted to be sold, resold or gifted.

(b) The Promoter shall not be under any obligation to enquire whether the person applying for the prize or submitting a code is entitled to make the claim, is eligible to claim the prize or has supplied accurate and true details to ensure that a prize is only claimed by and fulfilled for the benefit of the winner, and no such enquiry or omission to make enquiry shall affect the Promoter’s rights in relation to anyone in breach of the Terms, including the right to disqualify anyone who sells, gives away or discloses (or attempts to do any of these things) a prize, prize-code or other award (such as a discount-voucher).

(c) Call costs of the claims/redemption/other assistance phone-lines for the Promotion depend on the type of number called (see www.gov.uk/call-charges for guidance), duration of call and the access charges payable to the caller’s phone company. Phone-lines are live, not automated, so call-duration will vary and there is no minimum or maximum duration.

(d) Responsibility and costs of obtaining and using internet-enabled equipment and broadband or other internet services (whether for a landline or via a mobile network) needed in connection with the Promotion (including without limit for the purposes of participation, prize-claims and utilisation of prizes requiring such equipment and/or services), is solely that of entrants in all cases.

(e) All advertisements depicting the prizes and prize descriptions are illustrative rather than definitive. Any advertisement of the cash value of the prize-pool represents the Promoter’s best estimate of the normal retail-price for all prizes which are available to win; it does not thereby imply that any prize will be awarded in the absence of a corresponding valid claim. Reproduction of any prize-imagery does not thereby imply any endorsement or association by the producer of that prize-type nor by the owner of any brand associated with that prize-type. The featuring of selected prizes in any advertisement does not imply all of those prizes are representative of, or all available to be won within, a prize pool; those prizes may be selected from more than one prize pool, unless otherwise stated.

(a) All unawarded or unclaimed prizes will lapse if not the subject of valid claims and the award of which has been completed within the time limits as prescribed by these Terms and in any event by 23:59 on 23rd December 2024 at the latest (unless otherwise specifically stated).

7. HOW TO CLAIM PRIZES

(b) It is the entrant’s responsibility to contact the Promoter in the event of non-receipt of any communication stated in these Terms – all deadlines and time limits shall continue to apply regardless of such non-receipt.

(c) If disconnected for any reason prior to receiving the message that the claim form was successfully received then you should find the prize-notification in your Gift Drop Wallet and you should attempt to resubmit it by the deadline in case the previous attempt to submit the claim-form was not registered by the Promotion servers. Upon the attempt to initiate the further opportunity to submit a claim-form, you will receive an on-screen message from the Promotion servers stating that the award is confirmed or the claim is invalid with such decision being final and binding and resulting in the entry and prize-claim becoming void and the prize withheld. Any reason for non-award stated in the on-screen message that the claim is invalid shall not entitle the claimant to contest the basis of the stated decision, irrespective of whether that given reason is incorrect.

(d) Calls relating to prize claims may be recorded for the purposes of promotional security, in which event callers will be notified of this at the outset of the call.

7.2 Prize Claim Process

(ii) If the winner is not a member of MyMcDonald’s Rewards at the time of prize award, the winner will need to opt-in to Rewards via the McDonald’s (UK) app and re-visit the Gift Drop promotional tile in the app before 23:59 on 23rd December 2024 to receive the prize points. If a winner opts in and revisits the promotional tile by that date, the prize points will be added to the winner’s Rewards account within 24 hours. Failure to opt-in and visit the Gift Drop promotional tile by that date will result in the prize lapsing.

8.2 All time-based determinations in this Promotion shall be made by the Promoter after reference to the Promotion clock on the Promotion servers and in accordance with the audited procedures and shall prevail irrespective of any variation with other sources of timekeeping or error having (or claimed by an entrant to have) an adverse effect upon any entry.

12.3 Any Gift Tag Code, App Entry and other voucher/prize code, entry, prize claim, offer claim and/or communication (including any marketing material or communication) made or received by the Promoter or an agent, will be invalid and void for all purposes if it is deemed by the Promoter or by any other third party involved with prize-redemption or offer award to be (a) damaged, (b) counterfeit, (c) copied, (d) misprinted, (e) incomplete, (f) illegible, (g) reproduced/transmitted incorrectly, (h) the result of a technical malfunction or (i) handled, used, disclosed, offered for sale by an ineligible person.

(a) every entry, prize, prize claim, offer claim and/or communication made by that person to the Promoter or any of its agents, will be invalid and void for all purposes, and

(b) such person shall become (with retrospective effect) ineligible to take part in this Promotion with the effect that every entry, claim and request by that person then in process or still to be made shall be void, invalid and have no force or effect so that the Promoter is entitled to disregard them all without incurring any liability therefor.

12.5 Reference in these Terms or any promotional advertising, material or communication to any person as a “winner” or which otherwise expresses or might imply that a prize has been won, shall not thereby imply a waiver of any verification or claims processes for the award of prizes and any related rights of the Promoter arising in accordance with these Terms to delay, withhold or invalidate any prize-awards.

12.8 Any person with a disability preventing compliance with any stated requirement in these Terms should contact the Promoter by means of the McDonald’s Customer Services Hotline or, if on mcdonalds.co.uk, by reference to the “contact us” feature.
