1. Introduction

1.1 Spond Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with registered address at Profile West Suite 2, First Floor, 950 Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex, TW8 9ES and company number 13705044 (“Spond”). Spond offers a web-based service (the “Service”) enabling non-commercial organisations (”Organisations”) to raise money for their Organisation by promoting Spond’s prize competition, Spot the Ball (the “Prize Competition”), to participants (each an “Entrant”).

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

1.3 All use of the Spond app and the Service is subject also to Spond’s standard terms of use (the “Standard Terms”) which are available at https://www.spond.com/terms, the prize competition terms (the “Competition Terms”) and any rules specific to that prize competition (the “Specific Rules”). In the event of inconsistency between the Standard Terms, the Competition Terms, the Specific Rules and these Campaigner Terms, these Campaigner Terms will prevail.

1.4 Spond may amend these Campaigner Terms at any time by posting the amended Campaigner Terms on the Service at least 30 days before the take effect, in order to comply with any new or different obligations under applicable laws or regulations, to reflect any technical improvements or alterations made to the Service, or to remain up to date with prevailing market practice. You agree that your continued use of the Service after that date constitutes your binding acceptance of the amended Campaigner Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, please do not market any further Prize Competitions. No changes to the Terms of Service will apply to any Prize Competition for which the Competition Period had started before the date on which the change become effective. The date of last revision of these Campaigner Terms is included at the top of this page.

4.5 Spond warrants to the Organisation that the Service will be provided using reasonable care and skill.

5. Settlement, Payment and Fees

5.1 All entry fees for Prize Competitions will be collected by Spond via the Service and will appear to Entrants bank statements as being paid to Spond. Entry fees will be processed in accordance with terms supplied by Spond’s payment providers, which include, but are not limited to, Checkout, Stripe, Visa, Electron, Maestro and Mastercard Debit Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay.

5.2 Spond will pay the Campaigner a fee (the “Campaigner Fee”) based on a share of the net proceeds (the “Net Income”) attributable to the promotion of a specific Prize Competition.

5.3 The Net Income will be calculated as the total amount of entry fees received in the Prize Competition (“Gross Income”); minus the total cost of prizes (“Value of Prizes”), 5%-25% of the entry fee depending on the Campaigner’s configuration (inclusive of irrecoverable VAT); minus Spond’s 25% fee (“Spond Fee”), which includes all costs for the provision of the Service (administration of the competition, prize sourcing and fulfilment, payment processing, hosting, software, winner notification, settlement and support).

For example, if the Organisation set the value of the prizes at 10% when creating a Campaign and sold £1,000 worth of entry fees in a specific Prize Competition, the Winner would receive £100 in prizes and the Organisation would be paid £650 in Campaigner Fees.

5.4 Spond will settle and distribute the Campaigner Fee within 14 days of the closing date of the Prize Competition (pro rata based on the value of entries attributable to the Campaigner, in the event that more than one campaigner promotes the same Prize Competition). All payments made by Spond are inclusive of any VAT payable by the Campaigner. It is the responsibility of the Campaigner to determine whether you are required to account for VAT on income received from Spond that relates to your provision of promotion and marketing services of a Prize Competition.

5.5 If the total income attributable to the Campaigner’s promotion of a Prize Competition is less than the value of any sums that Spond is entitled to deduct in accordance with this paragraph 5.2, the Campaigner will promptly reimburse, or procure that the Organisation reimburses, Spond for the shortfall.

5.6 Payment of the Campaigner Fee will be made to the bank account specified when the Prize Competition is created.

5.7 You warrant, represent and undertake that you will use all funds received under these Campaigner Terms solely for the non-commercial purposes specified as the ‘purpose of the promotion’ when agreeing to market the Prize Competition and for the benefit of your Organisation, and will not use such funds (or permit such funds to be used) for your personal purposes or for any commercial purposes.

5.8 Spond will keep a record of all entry fees and income received for each Prize Competition. Spond will provide to the Organisation on request a report outlining the entry fees received and (where applicable) the Fees deducted from the total income in accordance with section 5.2.
