The Promoter cannot be held responsible for participants failing to supply accurate information which affects verification or delivery of the Cashback.

Whilst the Promoter will take all reasonable steps to ensure that its obligations in relation to running of the Promotion, processing and delivery of Cashback are met, the Promoter shall not be liable in any way for its inability to meet these timeframes resulting from its own business or its supply chain (including third party processors) being affected by Covid-19 infections or related restrictions, or for any other reason outside the Promoter’s reasonable control.

Should Covid-19 infections or related restrictions or any other reason outside the Promoter’s reasonable control affect the Promoter’s ability to meet any of its obligations, the Promoter reserves the right to extend the closing date and/or any other deadlines and/or make any other necessary modifications to the Promotion but will use reasonable endeavours to resume the Promotion and fulfil its obligations as soon as is reasonably possible after its and/or its third party processors resume business as usual.
