5. HOW TO ENTER: Each Prize Draw will have a starting date and time and ending date and time (the “Entry Period”) specified in the Experience Rules. Only those entries received by Promoter during the Entry Period will be valid. Promoter will be the official timekeeper for all Prize Draws.

1. Grand-Prize Prize Draws: All grand-Prize Prize Draws (each a “Grand-Prize Prize Draw”), will provide the following two (2) methods of entry:
   
   
1. Paid Method of Entry: To enter by this method, visit www.omaze.co.uk and select the “enter now” button on the Prize Draw’s webpage. Choose the applicable entry fee amount(s) to purchase entries (“Entry Fee”). Each Entry Fee amount will come with a set number of entries into the Grand-Prize Prize Draw (and any applicable Secondary Prize Draws, as such term is defined below). Follow the instructions to enter your full, legal name, contact and payment information, and complete your payment. Once your payment is complete, you will automatically receive the number of entries you selected and be entered for a chance to win the Prize Draw. You can enter as many times as you wish so long as you don’t exceed the maximum Entry Limit (as defined below), if applicable. Omaze may, in its discretion, run various Prize Draws in connection with the paid method of entry. For example, it may, for a temporary period during the Entry Period, offer Participants “bonus entries” in connection with the paid method of entry, or it may offer Participants the opportunity to enter multiple Grand-Prize Prize Draws simultaneously, for a reduced Entry Fee. Each entry that is purchased in connection with any special Prize Draw (a) will constitute a single, independent entry in the applicable Prize Draw(s), (b) will be treated exactly the same as any other entry to the Prize Draw(s) (including being subject to any applicable Entry Limit), and (c) will have the same chance of winning as any other entry.
   
   
2. Alternate Method of Entry: Write or type your full, legal name, home address (no post office box addresses accepted), city, post code, phone number (optional), email address and which Full Name of the Prize Draw you want to enter (for example, “Omaze Million Pound House Draw- London”), on either a postcard or letter. Post the completed entry to Promoter’s third-party prize draw vendor identified in the Prize Draw’s applicable Experience Rules, at the postal address provided within such Experience Rules. All entries must be received via post (hand delivered entries are not eligible and will be void) before the applicable entry period end time/date to be valid. Limit one (1) entry per outer mailing envelope or postcard. Each eligible entry received via the Alternate Method of Entry will be equivalent to a single entry into the Grand-Prize Prize Draw, with effect from the date that an entry is received and processed. No mechanically reproduced entries are permitted. Illegible entries are void. Omaze is not responsible for lost, late, mutilated, delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, postage due, misdirected entries or entries not received by the last day of the applicable Entry Period. You can enter by the Alternative Method of Entry as many times as you wish so long as you don’t exceed the applicable, maximum Entry Limit.
2. Secondary Prize Draws: From time to time, Omaze may, in its sole and absolute discretion, host other, secondary Prize Draws on the Website (each a “Secondary Prize Draw”). Secondary Prize Draws are those Prize Draws where the only method of entry is through entry into a specific Grand-Prize Prize Draw within a specific timeframe. Participants who enter the specific Grand-Prize Prize Draw during the specific timeframe will also be automatically entered into the Secondary Prize Draw. Unless otherwise stated in the Experience Rules of the applicable Secondary Prize Draw Participants will receive the same number of entries into the Secondary Prize Draw as Participant acquires in the eligible Grand-Prize Prize Draw(s) during the specific timeframe, up to the Secondary Prize Draw’s Entry Limit (if applicable), regardless of method of entry(ies) used to enter the eligible Grand-Prize Prize Draw(s).
   
3. SUBSCRIBER-ONLY FLASH DRAWS: From time to time, Omaze may, in its sole and absolute discretion, host subscriber-only Prize Draws on the Website (each a “Subscriber-Only Flash Draw”). Subscriber-Only Flash Draws are those Prize Draws where Participants must: (a) have an active subscription on the Website when entering the Subscriber-Only Flash Draw and at the time the Subscriber Draw Winner is selected; and (b) in addition to the automatic set number of entries into any Prize Draw received as a result of the Participant’s payment of Membership Fees for the Subscription Services (as defined in Section 5 of the Subscription Terms of Use), enter into a specific Subscriber-Only Flash Draw within a specific timeframe.

This will always be done in accordance with Omaze’s Privacy Notice. Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any Potential Winner and any Potential Winner’s guest(s) based on the results of such background check (or the background check of Potential Winner’s guest(s), if applicable), if Promoter reasonably determines that awarding the Prize(s) to such Potential Winner and/or Potential Winner’s guest(s) might reflect negatively on Promoter or any of the Prize Draw Partners, or be likely to put Promoter, any of the other Prize Draw Partners, or any other third-party in danger. Promoter is not obligated to clarify, confirm, or share any specific results of a background screening or security check with any Potential Winner or any Potential Winner’s guest(s), whether the background screening or security check resulted in disqualification or not. Factors that could result in disqualification include, without limitation: having been convicted of a criminal or civil offence or being delinquent on a government-ordered payment. When requested, Potential Winner and Potential Winner’s guest(s), if applicable, must provide authorization and/or complete any forms reasonably needed to facilitate such a background screening or security check.

If a Potential Winner is determined to be ineligible and/or disqualified for any reason, an alternate Potential Winner will be selected using a verifiably random process from among all remaining eligible entries. This process will be repeated until the Prize(s) is awarded. Any alternate Potential Winner will be notified as per the procedures outlined in these Official Rules (time permitting). Promoter reserves the right to modify the Potential Winner notification and/or confirmation and verification procedures connected with the drawing of an alternative Potential Winner, if any.

Participant and Omaze agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (or equivalent laws in the jurisdiction in which the Omaze entity that you have contracted with is incorporated) governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Official Rules and that this arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Official Rules.
2. Class Action Waiver: Participant and Omaze each agree that either may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 19 shall be null and void.
3. Limited Remedies: Additionally, except as may be provided for in Subsection 19(D), below, or prohibited by law, Participant and Omaze each agree that, for any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Official Rules or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or Participant’s participation in a Prize Draw, our remedies are limited to a claim for money damages (if any) and we each irrevocably waive any right to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
4. Exceptions and Opt-out: Subject to the arbitration provision and class action waiver in these Terms, notwithstanding Subsections 19(A) and 19(B), above, Participant and Omaze each retain the right to:
   
   1. seek to resolve a Claim in small claims court if it qualifies; and
   2. seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our respective intellectual property rights.

   In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Claim if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Omaze’s Legal Department at the Omaze address set out in Section 22(F), below, within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Official Rules. If Omaze changes any of the terms of this Section 19 after the date you first accepted these Official Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Official Rules), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective” date above. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Claim between you and Omaze in accordance with the terms of this Section 19 as of the date you first accepted these Official Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Official Rules).

5. Dispute Resolution and Notification of Claims: Prior to bringing a Claim Participant and Omaze each agree to notice the other party and attempt, in good faith, to negotiate an informal resolution. To begin this process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, the party seeking to bring a Claim must send a Notice of Claim (“Notice”) by certified mail to the other party. All Notices to Omaze must be sent to the Omaze address set out in Section 22(F), below. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the Claim and the relief sought. If we are unable to resolve the potential Claim within 45 days after receipt of the Notice, then Participant or Omaze may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out below.

The arbitration may be conducted via video-conference or in-person in the county (or other municipality) where Participant lives, unless Participant and Omaze both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement. During the arbitration, both Participant and Omaze may take one deposition of the opposing party, limited to 4 hours. If we cannot agree on a time and location for a deposition, the arbitrator will resolve any scheduling disputes. The arbitrator shall provide a decision explaining his or her findings and conclusions, and the ruling may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties to these Official Rules.
7. Arbitration Costs: Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. Each party shall pay its costs and attorneys’ fees. If you assert a claim against Omaze, you will be responsible for paying the consumer filing fee. Omaze will pay for all other filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses. If any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords a prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitrator will award such costs and fees per the applicable statute or written agreement. The arbitrator shall resolve any dispute regarding the reasonableness of any fee or cost that may be awarded under this paragraph.
8. Confidentiality: To the extent permitted by law, the existence of the arbitration, the arbitration proceedings, and the outcome of the arbitration will be treated as confidential and will not be disclosed by either party. Participant and Omaze agree that an award, and any judgment confirming it, only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and cannot be used in any other proceeding except to enforce the award itself and any post-arbitration action seeking to enforce an arbitration award or action seeking equitable or injunctive relief shall be brought exclusively in the courts in Wilmington County, Delaware, or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (or in the jurisdiction in which the Omaze entity that you have contracted with is incorporated).
9. Severability: If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
