2. Opening/Closing Dates & Times
General
The weekly competition entry period runs from midday Friday to midday Friday each week until further notice. This is a digital entry to a weekly competition with the first entry being made in the draw on the next falling Friday. Confirming an entry on this site implies consent to and acknowledgement of this fact. One winner of each weekly featured prize will be drawn within 28 days of the closing date, once all entries have been collated and verified. All subscribers who do not send stop to the billing shortcode (or are not otherwise stopped by our Customer Services Team) will automatically be entered and billed each week other than those instances where a stop request is received before the first billed message is sent. (For the avoidance of doubt, the billing shortcode is the five-digit code that appears in the ‘from’ line on each text received from the competition). The featured main prize is unique to PrizeNut and will not be promoted under any other brand. From time to time, PrizeNut reserves the right to replace the prize offered each week with one of a similar or higher value (See further details on the prizes offered in the Prizes section of this page). To UNSUBSCRIBE just reply 'stop' to any of the competition messages or visit the Contact Us section of this website.
3. Unsubscribe
To UNSUBSCRIBE, just reply ‘stop’ to the 5 digit shortcode number that you are receiving messages from on your handset. This text message is not case sensitive, however any other variation of this text may not be accepted (E.G. Please stop). Please only consider the subscription successfully stopped once you have received a FREE reply text message from the same shortcode, to the effect of “All services on this shortcode are now stopped. Customer Services 0818000087”. If you have not received a text message to this effect, then please contact us to confirm your subscription has been cancelled. If you are subscribed to more than one shortcode, you must send a stop request to each shortcode to end all subscriptions. Standard rate charges may apply to messages sent.

5. Premium SMS Weekly Competition - General Terms & Conditions
5.1. By giving your mobile number to us through the internet, or any other promotions, you will gain entry to the selected competition, plus any other featured bonus draws from PrizeNut.com. You agree that any information you provide through our website or otherwise is true, accurate and complete, and that you will ensure that this information is kept accurate and up to date at all times. We reserve the right to request verification of your age, identity and contact details.
5.2. If you have entered via the internet; after submitting your mobile number to us via one of our online promotions, you can validate your entry by one of the following routes: You will either receive a text message asking you to validate your entry by responding via text message and answering a general knowledge multiple choice question, or a PIN will be sent to you via text in order to confirm that your mobile number is correct. You must then type the PIN into the indicated panel on the online promotion to validate your entry. It is very important that you respond as indicated, as it is at this point that you will be entered into the first competition for a chance to win the selected prize. If you do not validate your entry in the correct manner you will not be entered into the competition or draw and therefore will not be considered for any prizes.
5.3. You may enter one of our competition services by texting a ‘Keyword’ to us after viewing one of our advertisements on the television or the internet. In this instance, the message we receive from you containing the keyword specified in the advert is the equivalent of an entrant responding to our initial text messages or confirming the 4-digit PIN number as set out above. This text message serves as the confirmation from the entrant that they would like to enter the competition service, and will therefore be followed by a ‘Thank you for your entry’ confirmation message. Please only consider your entry successful if you have received a confirmation message from us.
5.4. Once you have responded to the text message and validated your entry, you can send “STOP” prior to receiving your billed message, which will opt you out of the ongoing subscription and receiving premium rate charges, but will keep you in the main draw for that week’s selected prize. A free ‘cost reminder’ message is sent to the handset prior to billing. This will reconfirm the service you have joined, the costs involved, and remind you how to cancel your subscription so that you no longer take part in any of the draws. Please ensure that you save this message on your phone for future reference.
5.5. The first week’s billed message will be sent to your phone shortly after you send the initial message confirming your subscription. Some promotions will send your first week’s billed message the same day that you have confirmed your entry, some will delay the first week’s billing message until 24 hours after receipt of your subscription confirmation message, and some of our promotions provide your first week’s entry free. In such cases where the billed message is not sent on the same day that your entry is confirmed, the promotion will clearly state if you have either 24 hours or 7 days free of charge. This information will be provided on the advertisement for the service. If you have entered a service which has either a 24 hour or 7-day free period, if you send ‘STOP’ within that time you will not be charged for entering the competition, but your entry will remain valid for that week only, even if these draws take place after the successful receipt of a stop request.
5.6. Shortly after the cost message, you will receive this week’s general knowledge question. This will be delivered to your mobile within a billed text message, you will receive three billed messages per week charged at €2.50. The weekly question may sometimes be accessed via a link contained within the weekly billed message. The weekly cost of our competitions is €7.50, unless otherwise stated on the promotion where you made your online entry. The advert you responded to would have contained information confirming the weekly cost for the service you entered and if any free period applies. For clarification, please refer to the cost reminder message that was sent to your phone after you confirmed your entry, prior to billing. You must answer this question correctly within 7 days of receiving it in order to be entered into that week’s competition. Each competition starts at midday on a Friday and ends the following Friday at 11:59:59. For users entering competitions where the first seven days are not billed, the first week's competition message will be sent to entrants free of charge.
5.7. You will then receive the billed message containing each week’s general knowledge question once every seven days (using the day of your original entry into the competition as the starting point) until you send a stop request. Each text message sent by the subscriber may be charged at the standard network rate, according to your provider.
5.8. All single entry prices for one-off entries into our competitions are promoted individually.
5.9. Each week, one mobile number will be randomly selected from all the correct entries and will be contacted by the Quiz Manager. Only users who have correctly answered the week’s question and have been successfully billed in full for that current week will be eligible for the competition draw (other than those who entered during the seven days prior but stopped within the first 24 hours as described above). The winner of the weekly competition will be contacted on the number they have used to subscribe to the service. If there is no answer on the first attempt to call, the customer care team will leave a voicemail and send a text message to the winner. These attempts to contact need to be responded to within 28 days to claim the prize. If there is no response after the 28 days, the featured prize will be forfeited.
5.10.The prize for this competition is a choice between 500 euros, a 500 euro gift card or an iPhone 7, you may see other, promotions for the same competition featuring one of the prizes on offer. You can enter the same competition via these other promotions if you wish. Any additional answers you give to the same weekly question via your other entries will still be counted and will give you additional entries to the draw.
5.11.Where credit is not available to successfully bill the premium rate charges, for example Pay As You Go (Pre-Pay) mobile users, the weekly quiz question may not be delivered to the phone at the promoted time; however further attempts will be made to deliver the message up to the date of the relevant draw. Users understand that this situation may cause the relevant quiz question being delivered too late for entry into that particular week's draw.
5.12. Should a mobile network operator encounter failed delivery attempts of a premium message prior to a user sending in the STOP command, the network may still attempt to re-deliver the failed message even after the STOP command has been sent to the promoter. Users understand and accept that the promoter has no control in this matter, however the promoter will ensure that no NEW premium messages are generated by the promoter after receipt of a valid stop command. All STOP commands are answered by a free text confirming the STOP command and the cancellation of the subscription as explained in the Unsubscribe section of this page.
5.13. For a list of winners please write to the address below, or go to the Winners page on this website. No correspondence will be entered into regarding winner’s selection.
