All entry instructions and any other specific details and/or information relating to the Competition or the prizes shall be deemed to form part of these Terms.

2.5 For Competitions that require you to submit images, videos or other content, the following additional terms apply:

(c) You must ensure that any person(s) whose image has been used in your entry has given their consent for the use of their image and has waived any rights they may have in the images, videos or other media submitted. If such persons are under the age of 18, you must obtain parental consent. (d) If you cannot produce evidence of the consents referred to above, you may be disqualified from the Competition and/or lose any prize.

(a) pornography, nudity, or sexually explicit imagery (b) abusive, offensive or hateful imagery or language (c) harassing or defamatory content (d) content that compromises the privacy or safety of yourself or others (e) content that demeans a particular gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, ethnicity or nationality (f) violent or dangerous behaviour, and/or (g) spam, advertising or other commercial activities, or any other type of content that is indecent, immoral, discriminatory, offensive, or portrays or encourages illegal activities.

Any entry that contains such material will be disqualified.

2.7 Incomplete or indecipherable entries will be void (in Capcom’s absolute discretion).

2.8 Capcom has the right to refuse qualification of any entry to any Competition, withdraw your entry to and/or participation in any Competition or the prize if it believes you to be in breach of any of your obligations, or representations and warranties of these Terms and/or the Competition Rules or you otherwise conduct yourself in a manner which is inappropriate or unsuitable (in the discretion of Capcom). Capcom further reserves the right to withhold prizes from any such person in such circumstances and to reclaim any prize in the event of a breach or alleged breach of these Terms and/or the Competition Rules.

2.9 Capcom may require proof of age or consent of your parent or guardian and proof of identity, which may include a copy of your passport or other recognised form of identification. If this is requested and not supplied your Competition entry may be rejected and/or any prize awarded to you withdrawn.

2.10 Capcom shall not be responsible or liable for any tax, levies and duties applicable in any country and it is a condition of entry that you shall be responsible for your own tax liabilities in respect of entry and any prize you may win.

2.11 The decision of Capcom’s judges is final and conclusive in all circumstances and no correspondence will be entered into.

2.12 Capcom shall be entitled, in its absolute discretion, and subject to the terms of the Competition Rules to cancel a Competition with immediate effect by stating the same on the relevant website without any liability in respect thereof.

3. Prizes

3.1 The decision of the judges is final and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into. Capcom reserves the right to withhold prizes in the event that it receives an insufficient number of entries or entries of insufficient quality. If you win a prize, you will be contacted by the means you provided when entering the promotion (e.g. email, direct messages on social media). Capcom will not amend your contact information once you have submitted your entry. Reasonable efforts will be made to contact you.

3.2 If you win a prize, you will have a fixed time period in which to claim it, as specified by Capcom. Failure to claim your prize by the time or in the manner specified for the particular promotion will make your claim invalid and Capcom reserves the right to offer the prize to the next eligible entrants selected in accordance with the Competition Rules. Where the prize is time critical and a winner needs to be found before the time to take up the prize passes, the Competition Rules may state the date on which the winner will be contacted and Capcom will contact such winner on the phone number (or other method of contact (if appropriate)) they provided. If the winner cannot be contacted or successful contact is not made on the specified date, Capcom reserves the right to offer the prize to the next eligible entrants selected in accordance with the Competition Rules.

3.3 Prizes are not transferable, may not be re-sold and are subject to availability. Capcom reserves the right to substitute any prize with a prize of equal or greater value. Unless otherwise stated in the Competition Rules, no cash alternatives will be offered.

3.4 Prizes are as described in the Competition Rules and, unless specifically stated to the contrary, will not include tax, insurance, transfers, spending money and other expenses (including meals or personal expenses, upgrades etc.) as the case may be, all of which will be the sole responsibility of the prize winner.

3.5 Capcom does not accept any liability for claims or prizes which are lost, delayed or damaged in the post or otherwise not validly received by you.

3.6 If Capcom becomes aware of any fraud, deceit or similar action during or in relation to the Competition which relates in any way to a claim, then that claim will not be met unless it is proven to the satisfaction of Capcom, that you had no actual or imputed knowledge of such fraud or deceit or similar action. For the avoidance of doubt (and without limitation), if you provide an incorrect name, age, address or other incorrect information in relation to the entry, then Capcom reserves the absolute right to treat that entry as invalid (whether or not such information comes to light before or after you have made the claim). If the fraud, deceit or other action is only discovered after the prize has been released, you undertake to return the same (or provide compensation) to Capcom forthwith upon discovery by Capcom
