9. S4C reserves the right to verify the eligibility of all entrants to take part a Competition, including the right to request written proof of age of the winner.

12. You may only enter a Competition once unless stated otherwise in the Competition Notice. Where it is apparent that an individual has entered a competition multiple times and only one entry is permitted under the Terms, only one of the entrant's entries will be counted in the Competition.
13. Where S4C discovers or has reasonable grounds to suspect that any entrant has used any software or automated process either to answer questions, enter the Competition or to make bulk entries, S4C may exclude such entries and disqualify the entrant from the Competition.

16. Proof of posting, telephone call, online posting or email cannot be accepted as proof of delivery. S4C takes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect or delay in any communication method used by entrants, entries that have not been received before the closing date or for the theft, destruction, alteration of or unauthorised access to entries, or entries lost, damaged or delayed as a result of server functions, technical issues, virus, bugs or other causes outside S4C's control.
17. S4C does not accept responsibility for the safekeeping or return of any entries. You should ensure that you retain a copy of your entry for your own records.
18. If the selection of a winning entry is open to subjective interpretation, an independent judge, or a panel that includes one independent member will be appointed. In either case, the judge or panel member will be demonstrably independent from S4C, any competition intermediaries or from the pool of entrants from which the eventual winner is picked. Those appointed to act as judges or panel members will be competent to judge the Competition and their full names will be made available in the Competition Notice. In all matters, the decision of the judge(s) or panel shall be final and no correspondence or discussion shall be entered into.
19. Prize winners will be notified in the manner and within the time specified on the Competition Notice.
20. S4C will make arrangements with the winner for the winner to receive the prize. Prizes will ordinarily be sent via post. Proof of postage by S4C will constitute proof of delivery.
21. If arrangements for delivery or collection of the prize cannot be made following reasonable attempts by S4C to do so, S4C is entitled to give the prize to a runner up or to use the prize in any future promotion at its absolute discretion.
22. S4C reserves the right to publish the winner's name and county of residence on the S4C website for 21 days.

23. Prizes cannot be exchanged or transferred and there is no cash alternative. S4C reserves the right to substitute the prize or any part of it for a prize of equivalent or greater monetary value and S4C's decision in this regard is final.
24. When you provide an address with your Competition entry, that address will be used to send out any prizes.
25. All taxes, insurances, travel arrangements, spending money and other costs and expenses (including food and personal expenses) are the sole responsibility of the winner unless otherwise stated in the Competition Notice.
26. S4C does not, unless noted in the Competition Notice, claim any rights of ownership in your entry. As such, you retain ownership of your entry and will be able to use it in any way you choose. S4C will be able to use your entry as set out in the Competition Notice. If S4C are intending to take ownership of your entry, this will be specified in the Competition Notice and you will then be able to choose whether to enter the Competition.
27. S4C does not guarantee to use any entry. S4C may also, in appropriate circumstances, and at its sole discretion, reject, edit, remove or disable access to entries that it considers may be legally or otherwise problematic.
