Prize descriptions are illustrative and not definitive. Further details are available on written request sent within 30 days of the date of the closing date for entries by sending by pre-paid post your envelope to the promotion address stated in the Special Terms and marking it with the name of the promotion (although if none is stated then McDonald’s shall be entitled to assume that the request is in relation to the prizes for the most recent promotion incorporating these Terms).
b) Prizes may not be exchanged, encashed or transferred. Prizes comprising more than one element are not divisible; all elements must be taken at the same time.
c) All cash prize-elements are stated in sterling, no interest is payable and will be provided by means of a cheque. It is the winner’s responsibility to make the necessary arrangements to facilitate payment of the cheque into a suitable bank or other account in the IE. If the Promoter agrees in its discretion to permit payment by bank transfer instead of cheque, the winner agrees that such transfer shall be at the winner’s risk to the extent that the transfer is not received in the winner’s nominated account due to bank error or any other reason that is not directly due to the Promoter.

8) Notification of a Prize Claim or Award
a) McDonald’s will send prizes or emails/letters giving notification of a prize-claim or prize-award by the time stated in the Special Terms or, if none, within 30 days of the closing date for entries. Prize-claim notification is sent where an award of a prize is dependent upon the entrant first providing to McDonald’s additional information. The Special Terms or the notification will direct what information must be returned to McDonald’s, how this should be sent and the deadline by when this must be received by McDonald’s.
b) If McDonald’s chooses to contact the winner by phone in addition to the sending of a notification email, this will be in McDonald’s discretion and won’t affect the winner’s obligation to respond to McDonald’s notification email(s) as stated nor McDonald’s right to treat its notification email(s) as fully discharging all winner-notification obligations under these Terms.
c) If a prize or letter giving notification of a prize-claim or prize-award is sent by registered, recorded or other signed for mail or courier (which McDonald’s will determine in its sole discretion and without prior notice), it is the entrant’s responsibility to enable timely delivery or make timely collection-arrangements from the postal or courier service.
d) Where a prize comprises a trip, the prize claim-notification email/letter will provide:
i) (if applicable to the trip) confirmation whether McDonald’s needs to make further contact to arrange outstanding trip dates or other details (in which event it is the responsibility of the winner to make himself or herself available for such further contact and to ensure that such outstanding trip dates and other details are finalised within any further time limits and as McDonald’s otherwise stipulates), and
ii) (if required by McDonald’s) an acceptance form for the entrant and release forms for the entrant and each companion permitted to accompany the entrant on the trip (for the benefit of McDonald’s, its related companies, franchisees and agencies concerned with conducting the promotion and their respective employees, officers and agents). The release forms which McDonald’s may require will relate to responsibility or liability for claims in respect of the prize and the right to publicise the award and the taking of the trip.
e) Any failure to comply with McDonald’s directions in any emails/letters giving notification of a prize-claim or prize-award or in any other communication by McDonald’s, shall be a breach of the Terms resulting in that winner’s entry becoming void and the prize claim becoming invalid.
f) Each prize is awarded conditionally upon the winner and (if the prize is to be shared by the winner and one or more companions) each companion accepting the terms and conditions of the prize provider or, in the case of more than one contractor being involved in the provision of a prize, the providers. Details of such terms and conditions of the providers for a particular promotion may be obtained within 30 days of the closing date for entries of the relevant promotion, by sending a stamped self-addressed envelope to McDonald's at the address below marking the envelope with the name of the promotion.
g) All unawarded or unclaimed prizes will lapse if not awarded or if awarded but not collected or retained (whether due to failure to sign for delivery or otherwise) within 2 months of the Draw or 1 month from the end of any scheduled delivery date (whichever is later).
