Competition Rules

Competition Rules

These are the General Competition Rules that govern the relationship between you and us when you enter one of our competitions in the absence of any specific terms and conditions in relation to a competition ('Competition(s)'). By participating in any of our Competitions, you agree to be bound by these General Competition Rules (which may be amended or varied at any time by us with or without notice) in the absence of any specific terms and conditions and by our decisions, which are final in all matters relating to the Competitions.

When entering a competition, you should follow any links on the competition entry page of our website to the specific terms and conditions for that particular competition which would apply instead of these General Competition Rules.

1. OUR DETAILS

"We", "us" and "our" means Channel 27 Radio, a station operating on the Torontocast Radio Network

2. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may need to make changes to these terms in future. For example to reflect changes in the type and/or format of competitions that we run or to correct errors in these terms. We will try to keep all such changes to a minimum. We recommend that you check these terms from time to time to see if they have changed. We will always state at the bottom of these terms the date on which they were last updated. If you continue to enter Competitions after our terms change you will be bound by those changes.
