Cookies

We use cookies to distinguish you from other visitors and to help improve your experience on our site. By continuing to browse, you agree to our use of cookies.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers stored on your browser or device. We use the following types:

Strictly necessary cookies — essential for the site to function, including logging in and using checkout.

Analytical/performance cookies — help us understand how people use our site so we can improve it.

Functionality cookies — remember your preferences when you return, such as language or region settings.

Targeting cookies — track your visits and browsing behaviour to show more relevant content and advertising. This data may be shared with trusted third parties.

Third parties such as advertising networks may also set cookies on your device, which are outside our control. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect your ability to use parts of our site.

Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability where it would be unlawful to do so — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Where you buy products, services, or enter our competitions, separate liability terms apply as set out in our Terms and Conditions.

Our site is for personal and domestic use only. You agree not to use it for commercial or business purposes. We have no liability to you for any loss of profit, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Uploading content to our site

Any content you upload to our site or post via our social media accounts must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. By uploading content, you confirm it meets those standards and accept liability for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of a breach.

Content you upload is treated as non-confidential. You retain ownership of it, but you grant us a licence to use, store, copy, and distribute it as described below. We reserve the right to disclose your identity to any third party who claims your content infringes their rights.

We may remove any content that, in our view, does not comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. You are responsible for keeping your own backups.

Rights you grant us to use uploaded content

When you upload or post content to our site, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, display, and perform that content. This includes the right to share it, quote from it, and use it to promote our brand and services — particularly via social media.

Viruses and security

We cannot guarantee that our site is entirely free from bugs, viruses, or harmful material. You are responsible for using appropriate virus protection software when accessing our site.

You must not introduce viruses, trojans, worms, or any other malicious code to our site. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our site, its servers, or any connected system. You must not carry out denial-of-service attacks. Doing so may constitute a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. We will cooperate fully with law enforcement and may disclose your identity to the relevant authorities. Any such breach results in the immediate termination of your right to use our site.

Linking to our site

You may link to our homepage provided you do so fairly and in a way that does not harm our reputation or imply an association or endorsement where none exists.

You must not frame our site within another website, and you must not link to any page other than the homepage without our prior permission. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission at any time without notice.

For any other use of our content, please contact us at [email protected].

Governing law

These terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Both parties agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over any such disputes.

Acceptable Use Policy

This policy sets out the terms on which you may access and use our website at https://kingcarpcompetitions.co.uk. It applies to all users and visitors. By using our site, you agree to abide by this policy, which supplements the main terms above.

Our site is operated by King Carp Competitions Ltd. To contact us, please email [email protected].

Prohibited uses

You may only use our site for lawful purposes. You must not use it in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation; that is unlawful or fraudulent; to harm or attempt to harm minors; to send or upload material that does not meet our content standards; to distribute unsolicited advertising or spam; or to transmit viruses, trojans, or any other malicious code.

You also agree not to reproduce or re-sell any part of our site in breach of our terms, and not to interfere with or damage our site, its servers, or any connected third-party systems.

Interactive services

We may offer interactive features such as competitions, comment sections, or social media integrations. Where we do, we will explain what is offered and how it is moderated.

We take reasonable steps to assess risks to users — including children — when providing interactive services. However, we are not obligated to monitor every interactive service and are not liable for losses arising from a user's breach of our content standards, whether or not the service is moderated.

Use of our interactive services by a minor requires parental or guardian consent. We strongly encourage parents to speak with their children about online safety.

Content standards

These standards apply to all content you contribute to our site. Your contributions must be accurate where they state facts, genuinely held where they state opinions, and comply with the law in the UK and wherever they are posted from.

Contributions must not be defamatory, obscene, offensive, hateful, or inflammatory; promote sexually explicit material, violence, or discrimination of any kind; infringe intellectual property rights; be deceptive or misleading; breach any duty of confidence or other legal obligation; promote illegal activity; harass, threaten, or invade anyone's privacy; impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity; falsely suggest they were issued by us; or assist any unlawful act.

Suspension and termination

We will determine in our sole discretion whether a breach of this policy has occurred. Where we believe a breach has taken place, we may take any action we consider appropriate — including immediate withdrawal of your access to the site, removal of your posted content, issuing a warning, taking legal action against you, or disclosing your details to law enforcement. The actions listed are not exhaustive.
