5. Entry Routes
There are two entry routes: paid online entry and free postal entry. Valid free postal entries are eligible for the same advertised prizes as paid online entries, provided they meet these Terms and the relevant Specific Terms.
5.1 Paid Online Entry
Select the relevant competition on the Website.
Answer the competition question, where applicable.
Select the number of entries you wish to submit, subject to the published entry limits.
Create or log into your WilderGoat account.

the email address used for your WilderGoat account;
the name of the competition you wish to enter;

Postal entry rules:
You must register a WilderGoat account before sending a postal entry.
Each postcard will ordinarily count as one entry. Where the standard single-entry price for the relevant competition is less than the cost of a second-class stamp, each valid postal entry will be allocated the number of entries required to meet or exceed the value of a second-class stamp. The applicable second-class stamp price will be the Royal Mail price in force when the competition opens.
Postal entries are subject to the same maximum entry limits that apply to the relevant competition, unless the Specific Terms state otherwise.
Postal entries must be handwritten and sent by first- or second-class post. Hand-delivered entries are not accepted.
Bulk entries, incomplete entries, illegible entries, unlawful entries, abusive entries, defamatory entries, racist entries or otherwise harmful entries may be void.
Postal entries must be received before the competition’s published closing date and time.
The Promoter does not confirm receipt of postal entries.
The Promoter accepts no responsibility for postal delays, lost post, misdirected post or entries received after the published closing date and time.
Valid postal entries will be manually validated and added to the relevant competition.
If the competition includes instant wins, valid postal entries are eligible for those advertised instant prizes on the same basis as paid entries.
If the competition includes a main prize, valid postal entries remain eligible for that main prize.
5.3 All entries must be in English.
5.4 Once submitted, entries cannot be withdrawn or amended except where the Promoter agrees that an obvious administrative error has occurred.
5.5 Paid entries are confirmed by email and/or within the entrant’s account. Valid postal entries will be manually added where they meet these Terms.
5.6 All entries become the property of WilderGoat and will not be returned.
6. Maximum Entries
6.1 The maximum number of entries available for each competition will be stated on the relevant competition page.
6.2 The Promoter may also set a maximum number of entries per person, per household or per competition where stated in the Specific Terms.
6.3 Attempts to exceed the stated entry limits may result in associated entries being voided and, where applicable, a prize being withheld or a main prize being redrawn.
6.4 Once the overall entry cap is reached, no further entries will be accepted.
6.5 Unless stated otherwise, a person may win more than one advertised instant prize where different valid entry numbers qualify. Any separate main-prize eligibility is stated in the Specific Terms.

The Promoter may void entries, suspend accounts, ban entrants and/or
withhold prizes where it reasonably believes there has been:
fraud, attempted fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
identity misuse or entry on behalf of another person;
use of multiple accounts to avoid entry limits;
automated, scripted or bulk entry methods;
hacking, tampering, code manipulation or interference with the
Website;manipulation or attempted manipulation of a draw;
abusive, threatening, racist, defamatory or otherwise
inappropriate behaviour;any breach of these Terms or the Specific Terms.

these Terms, the Promoter may retrospectively void entries, withdraw a
prize and require the return of a prize where legally permitted.
7.2 No refunds will be issued where entries are
voided due to misconduct, fraud, abuse or breach of these Terms.
8. Main Draw Process
8.1 This section applies where a competition includes a main prize selected after the competition closes.
8.2 Only valid entries with correct answers, where applicable, will be entered into the main draw.
8.3 The main-prize winner will be selected at random from all valid entries using the drand publicly verifiable random number generator and a computer process designed to produce verifiably random results. See the how it works explanation.
8.4 Main draws may be live-streamed, recorded or otherwise documented for transparency.
8.5 If the primary random number generator or draw method is unavailable, the Promoter may use an alternative fair and verifiable method.
8.6 If a technical or administrative error affects a main draw, the Promoter may void the affected result and re-run the draw fairly.
8.7 The main draw will take place within 7 days of the Closing Date unless the Specific Terms state otherwise or circumstances outside the Promoter’s reasonable control prevent this.
8A. Instant Wins

WG Site Credit is non-cash credit held against the customer’s WilderGoat account.
WG Site Credit cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash.
Credit may only be used on competitions or products identified by WilderGoat as eligible.
If the eligible order value is less than the available credit, only the amount needed is deducted and the balance remains on the account.
If the eligible order value exceeds the available credit, the full available credit may be used and the customer pays the remaining amount.
Where a coupon or discount is valid, the discount is applied before WG Site Credit so that only the remaining eligible amount is deducted from the credit balance.
Current Website rules may prevent WG Site Credit from being used to enter an instant-win competition. Eligibility is shown at checkout.

Full Refund & Cancellation Policy
The complete refund and cancellation wording, including change of mind, cancellation, suspension, invalid entries, postal entries and refund reviews.
1. Purpose of this policy
This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains when refunds may or may not be available for entries into WilderGoat competitions. It should be read alongside the WilderGoat Competition Terms and Conditions and the specific terms shown on each competition page.
By entering a WilderGoat competition, you agree that your entry will be submitted into the relevant competition once payment has been completed or, for a postal entry, once the entry has been validated and added to the competition.
2. General position on refunds
Entry fees are not normally refundable once an entry has been submitted, unless the competition is cancelled by WilderGoat or a refund is required by law.
This is because accepted entries become part of the competition process and may be allocated numbers, checked for instant prizes or included in a later main draw.
Free postal entries do not involve an entry fee, so no entry-fee refund is payable for postal entries.
3. Customer change of mind
Once a paid entry has been submitted, you cannot normally cancel, withdraw or amend that entry simply because you have changed your mind, selected the wrong competition, selected the wrong number of entries, or no longer wish to take part.
You are responsible for checking the competition details, entry quantity, price, closing date, delivery restrictions and any applicable question or answer before completing your entry.
4. Competition cancellation by WilderGoat
WilderGoat may cancel a competition where necessary because of circumstances outside its reasonable control, technical failure, suspected fraud, legal or regulatory requirements, supplier issues, or any issue affecting fairness, integrity or proper administration.
If WilderGoat cancels a competition, paid entries will be refunded using the original payment method where reasonably possible.
Any instant prize or WG Site Credit linked to an entry that is refunded or invalidated may be cancelled, reversed or recovered where reasonably possible.
WilderGoat will aim to process any refund due within 14 days of confirming cancellation, but processing times may depend on the payment provider or bank.
5. Competition suspension or delay
WilderGoat may temporarily suspend a competition where needed to investigate a technical, payment, fraud, legal, operational or fairness issue.
WilderGoat may continue the competition, correct administrative arrangements, re-run a main draw where necessary, cancel the competition, or take another reasonable step to protect entrants and competition integrity.
A suspension or reasonable delay does not automatically create a right to a refund unless WilderGoat cancels the competition or a refund is required by law.
6. Closing dates and early closure
Each competition will close on the closing date and time stated on the Website, unless the maximum number of entries is reached earlier or unless a change is required to protect fairness, security or the proper administration of the competition.
WilderGoat will not extend a competition simply to sell more entries.
If a competition closes early because the maximum number of entries has been reached, this does not create a right to a refund for valid entries already submitted.
7. Invalid entries and disqualification
No refund will be given where an entry is voided or an entrant is disqualified because they have breached the Terms and Conditions.
This includes, but is not limited to, fraud or attempted fraud, use of multiple accounts, identity misuse, abusive behaviour, automated or scripted entries, attempts to manipulate the Website or competition, or attempts to exceed the maximum entry limit.
Where an entry is invalid because of a genuine technical or administrative issue caused by WilderGoat, WilderGoat may either correct the issue, add the valid entry to the draw, or issue a refund where appropriate.
8. Incorrect details entered by the customer
Entrants are responsible for providing accurate account, contact, payment and entry details.
WilderGoat is not responsible for missed notifications, failed delivery arrangements, invalid entries or prize fulfilment issues caused by incorrect, incomplete or outdated details provided by the entrant.
If you notice an error in your account or contact details, you should contact WilderGoat as soon as possible.
9. Prize unavailable or changed
If a prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside WilderGoat’s reasonable control, WilderGoat may substitute the prize with a reasonable equivalent prize of equal or greater value.
A prize substitution does not automatically create a right to a refund, provided the substitute prize is a reasonable equivalent and the competition remains fair.
If WilderGoat cannot provide the advertised prize or a reasonable equivalent, WilderGoat may cancel the competition and refund paid entries for that competition.
10. Payment problems, duplicate payments and chargebacks
If you believe you have been charged incorrectly, charged twice, or charged for an entry that did not appear in your account, contact WilderGoat as soon as possible with your name, account email, order number and payment reference if available.
Where WilderGoat confirms that a duplicate or erroneous payment has been taken, WilderGoat will refund the duplicate or erroneous payment using the original payment method where reasonably possible.
If you raise a chargeback or payment dispute after receiving valid entries, WilderGoat may suspend the relevant entries and/or account while the issue is investigated.
10A. Instant prizes and WG Site Credit
If an entry has already produced an instant prize and the underlying order is later cancelled, refunded, charged back or found invalid, WilderGoat may cancel or recover that prize where reasonably possible.
WG Site Credit awarded from an invalidated or refunded entry may be removed from the account. If that credit has already been spent, WilderGoat may restore an appropriate account adjustment or take another reasonable step to correct the balance.
This does not affect any rights that cannot legally be excluded.
11. Postal entries
Postal entries are free to enter, except for the normal cost of postage. WilderGoat does not refund postage, stationery, delivery services or other costs associated with sending a postal entry.
WilderGoat is not responsible for postal delays, lost post, damaged post, incomplete postal entries or postal entries received after the competition’s published closing date and time.
Valid postal entries are treated on the same basis as valid paid entries for the advertised prizes, including instant prizes and any main prize where applicable.
12. How to request a refund review
To request a refund review, contact WilderGoat at info@WilderGoat.co.uk and include your full name, account email address, competition name, order number if available, payment date and a clear explanation of why you believe a refund is due.
WilderGoat may ask for additional information to verify your request.
WilderGoat will review refund requests fairly and in line with this policy, the Terms and Conditions, and applicable law.
13. Refund method
Where a refund is due, it will normally be made to the original payment method used for the entry.
If the original payment method is unavailable, WilderGoat may ask for reasonable information to arrange an alternative refund method.
WilderGoat is not responsible for delays caused by payment processors, banks or third-party payment systems.
