In the event of a dispute as to who submitted an Entry, the name of the “authorized account holder” associated with Entrant’s Social Media will be deemed to be the Entrant and must comply with these Official Rules. The authorized account holder of the Entrant’s Social Media is defined as the natural person who is assigned to the account by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses or the domain associated therewith. Sponsor will not verify receipt of Entries. Proof of submission of an Entry does not constitute proof of receipt by Sponsor.

The Entrant’s Social Media may not be shared by multiple entrants for purposes of entry into the Sweepstakes. Use of any automated program or method to enter will result in disqualification of all associated Entries and of the person and the Entrant’s Social Media responsible for such Entries.
PRIZES & APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”): Ten (10) potential prize winner will be randomly selected, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, to receive one (1) set of SmileDirectClub Aligners (ARV: £1,639) (collectively, the “Prize”). Winner will be based on valid entry within the Promotion Period.
Use of Prize is subject to, and requires entrant’s agreement and acceptance of, Promoter’s standard terms and conditions and consent (https://smiledirectclub.co.uk/en-gb/terms/ and https://smiledirectclub.co.uk/en-gb/consent/), which includes a requirement for continued routine dental care (not provided by Promoter but obtained from third party providers). The individualized treatment plan for a winner will be based on the results of either their 3D image completed at the SmileShop or their SmileDirectClub impression kit. TO RECEIVE THE PRIZE, WINNER MUST BE DEEMED ELIGIBLE FOR TREATMENT. If a winner is not eligible, the Prize will be forfeited. Winner is solely responsible for all other fees associated with Prize receipt and use, regardless of whether the Prize is used in whole or in part. Prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied, in fact or in law, by Promoter, except to the extent that these cannot be excluded by law. No transfer, assignment, cash redemption, or substitution of the Prize is permitted except by Promoter, who reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the Prize, or a portion thereof, with a prize, or a portion thereof, of equal or greater value in the event the Prize, or a portion thereof, becomes unavailable. All Prize details are in Promoter’s sole discretion. In no event shall Promoter’s Prize liability exceed the ARV of the Prize for any reason. Prizes will be awarded provided it is claimed properly in accordance with these Official Rules. Prize must be redeemed in accordance with the requirements set forth below, and the SmileDirectClub impression kit or 3D image appointment must be completed no more than thirty (30) days after completing and returning the Winner Documents as set forth below. Scheduling for 3D image appointment at a SmileShop location is subject to availability and may need to be booked several days in advance.
RANDOM DRAW & ODDS OF WINNING: A random draw will be conducted from all Entries received, with the Entrants selected as winners being announced via Instagram Story on Sponsor’s official Instagram account (@smiledirectclub) on or about 8 October 2022. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Each Entrant selected as a winner will be notified within two (2) days of winner selection by direct message on the Entrant’s Social Media.
WINNER NOTIFICATIONS / PRIZE AWARDS / PUBLICITY CONSENT: No entrant is deemed a winner until his/her eligibility has been verified and it is determined that he/she has complied with all terms of these Official Rules. Promoter will issue potential winner, via email, a certification of eligibility and a release of liability and publicity (where permitted) (“Winner Documents”) and potential winner must complete and return the Winner Documents within forty-eight (48) hours of first attempted notification. All deliverable components of the Prize will be sent to winner at the address they provide within approximately two (2) to four (4) weeks of verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Promoter is not responsible for any telecommunications issues or for change of mailing address, or email address subsequent to the date on which an entrant entered the Promotion. If Prize or any notification is returned as undeliverable, Promoter is unable to contact a potential winner, or a potential winner is not in compliance with these Official Rules, as determined by Promoter, the Prize will be forfeited, and, at Promoter’s discretion, an alternate winner will be selected by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. All alternate potential winners are subject to all requirements set forth in these Official Rules. Only three (3) alternate winners will be selected, after which the prize will remain unawarded. Acceptance of the Prize will further constitute and signify winner’s agreement and consent that Promoter and/or Promoter’s assignees may use winner’s name, likeness, city and/or state/province/territory of residence, and/or Prize information for promotional purposes in any media worldwide without limitation and without further notice or compensation, except where prohibited by law.
GENERAL: By participating, entrants agree to abide and be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Promoter, which are final and binding in all matters. To the fullest extent permitted by law, entrants further agree to release, discharge and hold harmless Promoter and its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, distributors, suppliers, and advertising and promotion agencies associated with the Promotion, and all other service agencies involved with the design, execution or fulfillment of this Promotion, and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Agents and Affiliates”) from and against any liability, claims, losses and damages of any kind, including death, to persons or property, arising out of, or relating to, their participation in this Promotion and the acceptance, use, misuse or possession of a Prize (if applicable), including as set out below. Entrants who Promoter determines to have not complied with these Official Rules are subject to disqualification. Promoter reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant from this Promotion or any other promotion conducted now or in the future by Promoter or any of its affiliates if Promoter suspects or finds entrant to be: (a) violating the Official Rules; (b) tampering or attempting to tamper with the entry process, the operation of the Promotion, or the Website; or (c) attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion by cheating, hacking the Website, deception, or other unfair playing practices or intending to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other entrants, Promoter or Promoter’s representatives.
ANY ATTEMPT BY AN INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS PROMOTION MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS, AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, PROMOTER MAY DISQUALIFY ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES (INCLUDING LAWYERS’ FEES) FROM ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND TO BAN OR DISQUALIFY AN ENTRANT FROM THIS AND FUTURE PROMOTIONS.

BINDING ARBITRATION: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Promotion shall be settled by binding arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the ICC. The arbitrator shall apply English law and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In the event that the claimant is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Promoter will pay as much of the claimant’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by ICC, 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. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor Promoter shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties.
THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. DO NOT ENTER THIS PROMOTION IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARBITRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES. BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROMOTION, EACH ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (1) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE PROMOTION, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (2) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (3) TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ENTRANT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES, AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (4) ENTRANT’S REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONETARY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO RELEVANT PORTIONS OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO EVERY ENTRANT.
