These terms and conditions (“Campaign Terms”) are between Spond and the Campaigner. By marketing a Competition, Campaigner is deemed to have accepted and agrees to be bound by these Campaign Terms, and to procure that all members of the Organisation (and, if it is a legal entity, the Organisation itself) comply with these Campaign Terms. Campaigner further warrants and represents that they have full right, title and authority to enter into these Campaign Terms as agent for and on behalf of the members of the Organisation (and, if it is a legal entity, the Organisation itself). DO NOT MARKET A SPOND COMPETITION USING THE SERVICE IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
