Ebay competition - please read.

[lacey]

I have just finished a transaction and came to a page, stating i could apply to go in a competition, to win vouchers, cash and other prices.  I started to fill out the form and then remembered Facebook, or Instagram for some reason saying they were going to use ppl's names, likeness and photos for their own advantage.   please correct me if I am wrong.

So I then decided to read Ebay's rules and conditions and found this

21.   As a condition of entering this promotion, an Entrant consents to, in the event they are a winner, the Promoter using the Entrant’s name, likeness, image and/or voice (including photograph, film and/or recording of the same) in any media for an unlimited period of time without further notification, remuneration or compensation for the purpose of promoting, publicising or marketing the promotion (including any outcome), and/or promoting any products or services manufactured, distributed and/or supplied by the Promoter. The Entrant agrees that, in the event they are a winner, the Entrant will participate in all reasonable promoted activities in relation to the Promotion as requested by the Promoter and its agents.

Of course I stopped filling out the entry.

Please be careful and read all the conditions before you fill out the form, and give them permission to use you in any way, shape and/or form.

This is a standard clause in any contract of this type.  The conditions only apply to winners.  It would not be right for someone to win a competition and refuse to be identified or allow his entry to be displayed.-John

Makes ya think alright and sounds a bit, how's ya father to me as I think you can withhold with lotto but not really sure sorry. But yet another reason for me not to enter anything as I take it this is how they get your info to spam and annoy you with phone calls or junk mail, thank lacey & TW :good:
