TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please note: This is a working competition T&C draft rather than legal advice. The final version should be checked against SoundCast Radio's actual business details, prize arrangements, privacy policy and applicable UK promotional/broadcasting requirements before publication.

1. Promoter

The promoter is SoundCast Radio, operated by SOUNDCAST MEDIA GROUP LIMITED, whose registered/business address is Suite LP68424, 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU ("the Promoter").

2. Competition

The competition is called the SoundCast Radio Summer Song Sizzler ("the Competition").

3. Promotional Period

The Competition runs from 17 AUGUST 2026 until 31 AUGUST 2026, Monday to Friday only.

4. Eligibility

The Competition is open to all eligible persons aged 18 or over, subject to these Terms & Conditions.

5. Minimum Age

Entrants must be at least 18 years old at the time of entry.

6. Geographic Eligibility

Unless otherwise stated, entrants should be resident in the United Kingdom. Those outside of the United Kingdom will win a modified prize due to postage and customs regulations.

7. Excluded Persons

Employees of SoundCast Radio, anyone directly involved in organising or administering the Competition, and their immediate families are not eligible to enter.

8. Daily Competition

A separate Competition round will operate each eligible weekday.

9. Summer Sizzler Song

At approximately 7:35am BST, Gary Walker will play and identify that day's designated Summer Sizzler Song during The Breakfast Show.

10. Reference Play

The approximately 7:35am broadcast is the Reference Play.

The Reference Play identifies the song listeners need to remember.

The Competition does not open during or following the Reference Play.

Entries received as a result of the Reference Play are invalid.

11. Qualifying Play

The designated Summer Sizzler Song will subsequently be played again in full on SoundCast Radio before 2:00pm BST that day.

This subsequent broadcast is the Qualifying Play.

12. Opening of Entries

Entries open when the Qualifying Play begins.

Any entry timestamped before the Qualifying Play begins will not qualify.

13. How to Enter

Once the Qualifying Play has begun, listeners should send:

“SIZZLER” + THEIR NAME

by text message or WhatsApp to:

07396 939000
or +44 7396 939000 from outside the UK numbering format.

14. Valid Entry

A valid entry must:

• be received after the Qualifying Play has begun;
• contain the required entry information;
• be sent to the correct number;
• be received through the designated messaging system;
• come from an eligible entrant.

15. Winner

Subject to verification, the winner will be the eligible listener whose valid entry is recorded as having been received first after the Qualifying Play begins.

16. Authoritative Records

SoundCast Radio's playout/broadcast records and the timestamps recorded by its designated messaging system will be used to determine the timing and order of entries.

17. Simultaneous Entries

If two or more entries appear to have identical timestamps and the Promoter cannot reasonably establish which was received first, the Promoter may use a fair method to determine the winner.

The method used should be documented.

18. Communications Delays

SoundCast Radio cannot accept responsibility for messages delayed, lost, misdirected or not received because of mobile networks, WhatsApp, internet services, device failure or other third-party systems outside its reasonable control.

19. Entry Costs

Normal text message, mobile data and internet charges imposed by the entrant's provider may apply.

SoundCast Radio does not impose a premium-rate entry charge unless explicitly stated otherwise.

20. Multiple Entries

Recommended rule: Entrants may submit only one entry per daily Competition round.

Multiple messages do not increase the entrant's priority; the timestamp of the first valid message from that entrant will be used.

21. Prize Limit

Recommended rule: A person/household may win only once during the overall promotional period.

22. Prize

Each daily winner will receive:

SoundCast Radio merchandise including hat, summer bag, coffee mug, pens and more!

23. Prize Substitution

If circumstances outside the Promoter's reasonable control make the advertised prize unavailable, SoundCast Radio reserves the right to substitute an alternative prize of equal or greater value.

24. Transferability

Prizes are non-transferable and no cash alternative will be offered unless expressly agreed by the Promoter.

25. Winner Verification

Potential winners may be asked to confirm their:

• Full name
• Age/date of birth
• Country of residency
• Contact details
• Delivery details where necessary
• Compliance with these Terms & Conditions

26. Winner Contact

SoundCast Radio will attempt to contact the potential winner using the telephone number from which the winning entry was received.

27. Failure to Contact

If the potential winner cannot be contacted within 24 HOURS, refuses the prize, or fails eligibility verification, the Promoter may award the prize to the next eligible valid entrant.

28. Accidental Song Play

If the designated Summer Sizzler Song is played accidentally or outside the planned competition sequence, SoundCast Radio will determine whether that broadcast constitutes a valid Qualifying Play.

To protect fairness, the decision will take into account whether the song was played in full and whether listeners could reasonably have understood that entries were open.

Any decision and reason should be logged.

29. Incomplete Play

A partial clip, sting, montage, advertisement, interrupted track or other incomplete use of the designated song does not constitute the Qualifying Play.

30. Technical Failure

If a technical or transmission failure interrupts the planned Qualifying Play, SoundCast Radio may declare that play void and schedule another full Qualifying Play.

Listeners will not be disadvantaged by entries submitted in good faith where reasonably possible.

31. Failure to Play Before 2pm

If the scheduled Qualifying Play does not occur before 2:00pm due to technical or operational circumstances, SoundCast Radio may cancel that day's round or implement an alternative fair procedure.

Any material change will be communicated to listeners as soon as reasonably practicable.

32. No Valid Entries

If no valid entry is received, no prize need be awarded for that day's round.

The Promoter may choose to carry the prize forward, provided doing so is communicated clearly.

33. Fair Play

Entrants must participate personally and fairly.

Automated entry systems, bots, scripts, manipulation of messaging systems or other methods designed to gain an unfair advantage are prohibited.

34. Disqualification

SoundCast Radio may disqualify an entrant where it reasonably believes they have:

• breached these Terms;
• supplied false information;
• attempted to manipulate the Competition;
• used automated entry methods;
• acted fraudulently or unfairly.

35. Personal Information

Personal information collected in connection with the Competition will be used to administer the Competition, verify winners, fulfil prizes and meet applicable legal obligations.

Information will be handled in accordance with SoundCast Radio's Privacy Policy and applicable UK data-protection law.

36. Publicity

By accepting a prize, a winner agrees that SoundCast Radio may announce their first name and general location in reasonable competition publicity, unless there is a legitimate reason not to do so.

Any additional interview, photograph or promotional participation should be separately agreed with the winner.

37. Changes

SoundCast Radio reserves the right to amend, suspend or cancel the Competition where circumstances outside its reasonable control make this necessary.

Any change will be implemented in a manner designed to maintain fairness to entrants.

38. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

Subject to that provision, the Promoter is not responsible for losses caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control.

39. Decisions

The Promoter's reasonable decisions concerning administration of the Competition and application of these Terms will be final.

Nothing in this clause removes any statutory rights an entrant may have.

40. Law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer law requires otherwise.

41. Acceptance

By entering the Summer Song Sizzler, entrants agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.
