2.4. The Promoter reserves the right to require participants to prove they are eligible and/or to carry out its own investigations (either itself or through a third party acting on its behalf) to verify eligibility. If the winner of a prize is found to be ineligible, the Promoter reserves the right to award the prize concerned to another participant and to require the return of any prize already awarded.
3. How to enter
3.1. There will be a prize draw held each calendar month between February 2025 and January 2026 (each a "Prize Draw""). Each Prize Draw will take place by the 20th of each month.

Closing Date: 23:59 UK time on the last day of each month.

Point of Sale Transactions completed after the Closing Date will not be counted toward your total number of Point of Sale Transactions. Please note that a Point of Sale Transaction will only be complete and count towards a Prize Draw when it appears as an entry on your list of transactions and debits your account (i.e. pending transactions will not be counted). A Point of Sale Transaction does not include any bank to bank transactions, cash machine transactions or any credits to your account.

4.1. Each month between February 2025 and January 2026 we will award 10 prizes of £1,000 each, paid into the Eligible Account of the winner used for the Prize Draw.
4.2. The prize is personal to the winner(s) and may not be claimed by a third party on a winner's behalf. The winners are personally responsible for any VAT and/or local tax liabilities incurred in claiming or using the prizes.
4.3. The prizes are as stated and are non-exchangeable and non-transferable. There are no alternatives to the prizes in whole or in part. By participating in a Prize Draw, participants agree that the prizes are awarded on an "as is" basis, and that neither the Promoter nor any of its subsidiary or affiliated companies, make any representations or warranties of any nature with respect to the prizes.
4.4. In the event of a printing or other error resulting in there being more winners than prizes for a Prize Draw, the Promoter reserves the right at any time to allocate the available prizes through a further draw or to divide the prizes concerned or the value of the prizes concerned between the winners of the Prize Draw.
5. Draw Details and Delivery
5.1. The winners for each Prize Draw will be the first 10 participants chosen at random from all complete, eligible, properly submitted entries received before the end of the applicable Closing Date.
5.2. The Prize Draws will take place by the 20th of each month and each Prize Draw will be monitored by an independent adjudicator.
5.3. The winners of each Prize Draw will be notified no later than the last working day of each month. Winners will be contacted by secure mail in eBanking or by telephone using the number we hold for you in our records, and given details of how to claim their prize if the Danske Bank requires them to do so. Where we cannot contact winners by these means, a letter will be issued. The winners may be required to submit valid identification before receiving their prize. Winners may be required to confirm acceptance of the prize and prizes can only be paid into the Eligible Account of the winner within 30 days from the date the winner supplies the requested details for delivery of the prize. We will update our website to confirm that each Prize Draw has taken place.
5.4. If (a) a winner refuses or is unable to provide eligible details for receipt of their prize within 21 days of being notified, (b) a winner rejects a prize; (c) an entry is invalid; (d) a participant is disqualified or is in breach of these Terms and Conditions; or (e) a winner switches out or closes their Eligible Account before they receive their prize, the Promoter reserves the right to conduct a further random draw to award their prize to another participant.
5.5. Danske Bank will make available the prize winners' surname and county of residence upon request by email at prizedraw@danskebank.co.uk within 3 months after the Closing Date of each Prize Draw. If you object to any or all of your surname and county being published or made available, please email us at the same address or write to us at Customer Prize Draw, 1st Floor Donegall Square West, Belfast BT1 6JS. In such circumstances, we must still provide the information and winning entry to UK regulators (including the Advertising Standards Authority) on request.
5.6. Danske Bank may ask winners to take part in publicity or promotional activities. Winners are under no obligation to do so.
6. Limitation of Liability
6.1. Neither the Promoter nor agencies nor suppliers involved in this promotion may be liable to the winners, whether arising from tort including negligence, breach of contract or otherwise or for any damage, loss, liabilities, injury or disappointment incurred or suffered whatsoever as a result of or relating to participation in the Prize Draws or the prizes unless you suffer personal injury or death as a result of the Promoter's negligence. No compensation for loss of earnings will be paid by the Promoter for participation in any aspect of the Prize Draws.
7. Data Protection and Publicity
7.1. All personal details and/or information given either in the entry process or otherwise must be truthful, accurate and in no way misleading. Any personal information that participants share with the Promoter (including name, address, email or other data) will be kept secure and only used in line with the Promoter's Privacy Policy and these Terms and Conditions. By entering the Prize Draw, participants acknowledge that their information may be used by the Promoter and its suppliers to administer the Prize Draws. The Promoter may contact participants by email, post, phone, SMS or other means in relation to the Prize Draws, but will not send participants any marketing communication unless participants have also agreed to this or the Promoter has another lawful basis for the communication.
8. General
8.1. Promoter reserves the right to disqualify a participant, winner or entry if there is any reason to believe that there has been a breach of these Terms and Conditions or the terms and conditions associated with an Eligible Account, if a participant or winner has supplied untruthful, inaccurate or misleading personal details and/or information, or a participant or winner that in its absolute discretion could bring the Promoter into disrepute.
8.2. We reserve the right to hold void, suspend, cancel, or amend any of these Terms and Conditions, or suspend or cancel the Prize Draws in the event of circumstances that are unforeseen or beyond our reasonable control and where it becomes necessary to do so (including, without limitation, in the case of anticipated, suspected or actual fraud or misleading practices). We can do this without providing prior notice. Where it becomes necessary to cancel the Prize Draws, we will put a notice in our branches and on our website as soon as reasonably possible. Our decision in all matters under our control is final and binding and no correspondence will be entered into.
8.3. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by Northern Irish law, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland. However, as a consumer, if you live in another part of the UK you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish courts or your local courts.
