3.4 To create a ‘My Prizes’ page a customer must download an up-to-date version of the McDonald’s (UK) app on to a compatible device and register for a McDonald’s (UK) app account – the email address used to register this account must be the same email address that the registrant then uses to participate and claim prizes in the Promotion. Once you have created a McDonald’s (UK) app-account you will be able to participate in the CARDS Promotion by accessing the promotional tile on the McDonald’s (UK) app. If you create more than one ‘My Prizes’ page by using a different email address, you will not be able to combine them.

3.5 The registrant will be required to accept the terms and conditions of use of the McDonald’s (UK) app and be aware that the registrant’s data will be held and managed in accordance with McDonald’s Privacy Policy. It is the registrant’s responsibility to obtain permission in advance from the person who owns or pays for the device and internet-service.

Steps may be taken to apply a restaurant-wide maximum limit on numbers of CARDS Meals per order and/or a specific restriction against any order which does not appear to restaurant-servers or managers (in their discretion) to be primarily for the purposes of consumption by the persons ordering and others in their parties. Please view the Promotion news page via the App or via the website at cards.mcdonalds.co.uk/news during the Promotion to check for any announcements about implementation of the Fair Ordering Policy.

(a) Each claim or redemption must be submitted in accordance with these Rules, including in accordance with all instructions and deadlines specified in the Rules (with the deadlines applying to the time of receipt by the Promoter) and any failure to do so will cause the prize and/or Free Food to be forfeited and the claim/redemption and corresponding Card and/or entry to become invalid and void, all without any right to compensation.

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

9. GENERAL

9.1 The acceptance of a Cards pack (which shall be deemed to have taken place in the restaurant) amounts to acceptance of the Rules and to their respective interpretation under English law and by the English courts.

9.2 You understand and accept that the Promoter retains ownership of all Cards, and ownership or control of the trade marks and other intellectual property in and over the Cards, and all Promotion-advertising at all times. You acknowledge and agree that you have the right to use the Cards solely for the purposes of the proper participation in the Promotion in accordance with the Rules and the following shall not be considered proper participation in the Promotion:

(a) any sale, offer to sell, trade, giving away or other dealing with any Card, Card code, or prize;

(b) any use for any purpose whatsoever of any Promotion advertising or any feature taken from it; or

9.3 At the end of the Promotion, all Cards shall be null and void.

9.4 All age limits shall be deemed to be actual age as at the time of acceptance of the Rules, unless expressly stated otherwise in these Rules.

9.5 The Promoter may carry out such background checks and require such information (in addition to the information required to be given on entries or prize claims) as they consider necessary or desirable for the purposes of verifying any entry or claim for a prize or award or an entrant’s/claimant’s compliance generally with the Rules and any prize or award may be withheld unless and until the Promoter is satisfied with the verification.

9.6 Reference to any Card or code printed on a Card being or becoming invalid or void shall mean that the Card and all codes printed on it (as applicable), together with all prize and/or Free Food claims made and rights to make any prize and/or Free Food claim arising in connection with such Card or any code printed on it, shall be or become invalid and void.

9.7 Any communication which an entrant is required to send by post under these Rules must be sent via the Royal Mail alone and, if a "stamped" envelope is required, franking is not acceptable. The Promoter is entitled to treat any communication, however sent, as not received if not sent in the manner directed by the Rules.

9.8 No claim under or participation in this Promotion or any Card or Card code, is valid in combination with any other offer or promotion, save to the extent expressly stated herein.

9.9 Any Card, Card code, prize and/or Free Food 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 or trade by an ineligible person.

9.10 Should the Promoter determine (in the Promoter’s reasonable discretion) based on the evidence in its possession at any given time that any person (a) is ineligible; (b) has disclosed a Card code to another person (other than the Promoter or its agents concerned with the operation of the Promotion as contemplated by these Rules); (c) has failed to comply with any of these Rules; or (d) is misusing or tampering or attempting to misuse or tamper with the proper conduct of the Promotion, then in any of those events the Promoter may adjudge (in its reasonable discretion) that:

(a) every Card, Card code, prize and/or Free Food 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.

9.11 Reference in these Rules 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 Rules to delay, withhold or invalidate any prize-awards. Any waiver of any verification or claims processes stipulated in these Rules for the award of prizes shall only be effective and binding upon the Promoter if communicated by the Promoter in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated in that communication and (whether stated or not) solely applying for the named recipient and no other person or persons.

(c) each entrant understands that the entrant is alone responsible for ensuring that the content of any posting on social media and for sharing any post in other media, is done in a responsible manner and each entrant undertakes to take account before doing so of the suitability of the media and the age and other characteristics of its users for the posting; and

(d) information supplied by any person via a social platform (including taking part in any poll or vote for marketing activity in support of the Promotion) is deemed to have been provided solely to the Promoter and not to the social media platform and on the prior understanding and acceptance that such information may be subject to use by the social platform-provider in accordance with its published terms of use.

(a) decline to enter into any correspondence save as otherwise stated in these Rules;

(b) alter these Rules during the Promotion to the extent it considers (acting reasonably) necessary or desirable to maintain and preserve the integrity and reputation of the Promotion or the fair, effective or secure operation of the Promotion (and altered Rules will be notified and made available for review at cards.mcdonalds.co.uk/news); and

(c) perform any stated function in these Rules via an agent and the entrant shall be required to accept such performance as if it was directly by the Promoter.
