1.0 Low Bid Reverse Auction Bidding Terms and Conditions.

1.1 Auction entry is open to all entrants, excluding employees, subsidiary companies and contracted clients, their families, agents or anyone else connected with this promotion.

1.2 For the avoidance of doubt, a unique bid shall be a bid that has not been matched by another bid and the winning bid will be the lowest unique bid in whole pence that is closest to 1 pence. In the event of no entries producing unmatched bids, we reserve the right to award the prize to the lowest paired bid received first.

1.3 All auction entries must be made in either full pounds, pounds and pence, pence or purely as a numerical entry. All decimal points used within entries will be interpreted as being within a figure of pounds, or tens of pennies, and not as a percentage or part of a penny, and the value of the figure interpreted will be as confirmed in the response text sent back to the entrant.

1.4 Alpha numeric bids i.e. bid values containing letters or/and numbers will be interpreted as numerical only bids, excluding letters. The interpreted numerical bid will be entered in the auction and charged for.

1.5 Each auction is open for the period stipulated in each individual promotion.

1.6 The entry fee is payable directly from your phone bill via SMS and each bid made costs £1.50. In addition, unless otherwise stated in each promotion, entrant’s standard network charges shall also apply.

1.7 Each bid made implies acceptance of these terms and conditions.

For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not have any liability in connection therewith.

1.14 This auction is conducted by mobile text communication. We will attempt to confirm with text responses via your network service provider whether your bid is the lowest unique bid, or if it is no longer the lowest unique bid. However once a text response has been sent to your mobile service provider for delivery, we accept no responsibility should any text not be received by entrants.

1.15 This auction result shall be made available as soon as the lowest unique bidder is confirmed at or after the time advertised.
