1 Our service
This website (‘luckylots.co.uk’) facilitates an exciting and convenient way to win and dispose of goods as prizes over the Internet and is operated by Luckylots Limited (company registration number 05802987) (‘Luckylots’,’we’,’us’). We provide an online facility vehicle through which users can dispose of and contestants can win products as prizes ('the Services'). It is important that you read and understand these terms before using the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be legally bound by these terms, as they may be modified from time to time. We reserve the right to change these terms at any time. Amendments will take effect when posted on our website. However, the terms current as at the start of a particular competition will apply until that competition is completed.
2 Our role
Our site is a venue for users who wish to dispose of items (‘Sellers’) to run competitions putting up their goods as prizes (‘Listed Items’) as opposed to selling them and for other users (‘Contestants’) to enter competitions to win them. We do not have and never intend to have any contractual involvement in your transactions and at no stage do we auction, buy or sell or purport to auction, buy or sell or offer as prizes any of the products displayed on our site. You must therefore take the utmost care to screen the parties with whom you deal. We will not screen the parties or prizes on your behalf and this is a feature of the relationship between you and us that you willingly accept. Each prize is offered in a separate competition which must be entered separately. All competitions must be run according to the same rules (the Competition Rules).
3 Disputes
Because we are only a venue any disputes between you and another user of the site must be resolved between you. In the event that you have any right, claim or action against any other user arising from that user’s use of The Site, you agree to pursue such right, claim or action independently of and without recourse to us and you release Luckylots (and our officers, directors, secretary, agents, websites, subsidiaries, joint venture partners and employees) from all claims, liability, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees, known and unknown arising from or in any way connected with such action. the parties.

- your offering the goods as prizes and your disposal of the goods must not infringe any third party rights or be unlawful in any way and the goods must not be on our current prohibited items list.

Once you post the Listing Information, the item becomes 'a Listed Item'. Once an item becomes a Listed Item, you are making an irrevocable offer to dispose of it provided you receive the requisite number of entries into the competition.

- You must not contact any contestants directly in a competition run by you other than to provide additional information about the item when requested to do so by that contestant.
- You must not directly or indirectly enter competitions for Listed Items you offer as prizes or manipulate the number of entries in any other way.

Winners are responsible for any costs of delivery and any insurance costs unless specified on the Listing. Payment for delivery charges and insurance costs must be made direct to the seller by any means specified by them.
