Directors, management and employees (and their immediate families) of the Promoter or the agencies or companies associated with this Postal Service are ineligible to enter. The Promoter reserves the right to verify Participants and ask for proof of identity, age and address and to withdraw entitlement in this Postal Service where there are reasonable grounds to believe there has been a breach of these Terms and Conditions. This campaign will be available online only at: www.secretsanta.cadbury.ie
2. How to Enter: Participants must locate a Cadbury Secret Santa Postal Service digital or static poster in the Republic of Ireland (selected locations) and scan the QR code when it is available. Participants will be directed to a microsite and notified if the daily limit of free giveaways is reached, with alternative options to take a paid route (products subject to availability) or enter a random prize draw (details at clause 4). To send a chocolate bar, Participants must fill in their personal details (including their full name and valid email address & mobile number) and the ROI postal address of the recipient. If the participant takes longer than 10 minutes to fill out the form, they will be provided with an error message asking them to take part when the Postal Service is open again. SMS verification may be required to validate participant entry. Participants will need to verify their identity before entering the Postal Service journey. When entering their mobile phone number, the number is checked to see if the person has already sent 1 x chocolate bar. Users will then have a code sent to their mobile number which they will enter to continue onto. As part of completing the form, Participants must choose a Cadbury 100-120g chocolate bar (includes Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Wonderland, Cadbury Dairy Milk (original), Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo, Cadbury Dairy Milk Whole nut, Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Plant Bar) (‘Participating Product’) to send anonymously to a recipient (‘Postal Service’). Participants may only take part in this Postal Service once. The Cadbury Secret Santa Postal Service digital poster is a video experience only available online. During the video experience a text option to communicate with the Postal Service worker will be available. Only ROI postal addresses can be provided for a free bar selected to be sent to. The Promoter reserves the right to block people who are abusing the system by participating many times via fraudulent mobile number and sending more than 5 free bars to the same postal address.
The Promoter reserves the right to use a 'Postal Address Finder' (PAF) tool which will restrict the input of addresses to those pre-registered in the Eircode postal address system and will not be editable as a free-text field. If an address is not registered within the Eircode Address finder’s database it will not be available and the Participant will not be able to send a bar to that address if it is not listed. The Promoter reserves the right to switch this functionality on and off as required.
3. Delivery to recipient: It’s your responsibility to provide the full and correct delivery details of the recipient. There is no ability to change recipient address or details once submitted.
