Any changes to the booking (e.g., dates, guest names, etc.) may incur administration or cancellation fees, which would be the responsibility of the winner.

Entrants agree and confirm that, should they win tickets to the F1A Grand Prix:
Their personal information and that of their guest including, but not limited to, their names, titles, date of birth, email addresses, mobile numbers, country of residence, nationality, passport/identity documentation numbers and where you have a disability or limited mobility, and additional personal data relating to your accessibility requirements, will be processed by Unilever and Unilever’s third party agencies in order to provide the agreed tickets and arrange flights / trains and accommodation to the winners and selected guests. The Promoter will process personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and the Promoter’s privacy notice, a copy of which is available here: https://www.unilevernotices.com/privacy-notices/united-kingdom-english.html (“Unilever Privacy Notice”).
They will obtain the permission of their guest for providing the same sets of personal data.
They will (and will procure that their guest will) comply with any instructions or guidelines communicated by Unilever, or by a third party on behalf of Unilever, and any request to enter into additional terms and conditions and provide such personal information as is required.
They will (and will procure that their guest will) comply with the F1A Ticketing Terms and Conditions. Entrants acknowledge that a breach of the F1A Terms and Conditions may result in their ticket being revoked, entry to Circuit Zandvoort refused or being asked to leave Circuit Zandvoort. The Promoter will not be liable to the winner or guest of the winner for any losses incurred as a result of such cancellation.
Where winner and/or their guest have notified the Promoter of a disability or limited mobility, the Promoter will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate any accessibility requirements necessary to enable the winner and their guest to attend the F1A Grand Prix, including any related hospitality, travel and accommodation requirements. While the Promoter strives to ensure accessibility for all, the winner acknowledges that the Promoter cannot guarantee that third-party providers of F1 Academy Paddock passes, hospitality, travel and accommodation will always meet specific accessibility requirements. These services are managed independently, and their policies and practices may vary. The Promoter will not be responsible for any failure to meet accessibility requirements by third-party providers.
Selection of Winners
All valid entries received on or before the closing date will be entered into a random number generator. The first entry drawn at random will win the prize.
If, after a winner has been selected, the Promoter reasonably determines that the winning entry was made, generated, or assisted by automated means (including but not limited to AI systems or bots), or otherwise in breach of these terms and conditions, the Promoter may declare that entry invalid and select an alternative winner in accordance with these terms and conditions. The Promoter’s decision in this regard shall be final and made in its sole discretion.
The winner(s) will be notified by direct message within 4 days of the closing date via the platform (Instagram or Facebook) on which the winning entry was submitted. For the avoidance of doubt, where an entrant submits entries on both platforms, they will be contacted via the platform associated with the winning entry. The winner must claim their prize by responding to the direct message confirming their name, title, date of birth, email address, mobile number, country of residence, nationality, passport/identity documentation number (and the same for their guest) within 2 days of the notification. If the prize is unclaimed after this time, it will lapse, and the Promoter reserves the right to offer the unclaimed prize to a substitute winner selected in accordance with these terms and conditions.
The winner’s(s’) details (initials or first letter of Instagram handle) may be made available on request by emailing ukicare@unilever.com within 5 days of the closing date.
