    1. The prize is one ‘Diamond Ticket’, which shall entitle the Winner to:

      1. an invitation to a tour of the Skydiamond Factory in Stroud, Gloucestershire in July 2021 for the Winner plus one guest (the Tour) (no replacement tours will be offered); and

      2. one, round cut manufactured ‘Sky Diamond’ of approximately 1 carat manufactured by the Promoter (the Skydiamond)(the Prize).

    2. 10 (ten) Prizes will be awarded in total.

    3. The Prize is non-transferable and no alternative prize will be given. If, for reasons outside of our control, we are unable to provide the Prize (or any part of it), we will, at our discretion, alter or substitute it for a different prize of equal or greater value than the original Prize.

    4. The Skydiamond is not a mined diamond and is subject to a lengthy manufacturing process. Winners will be provided with their personal Skydiamond once production is complete, currently estimated to be by June 2021. If this date will be delayed for any reason we will contact the Winners and let them know. If and once available, Winners will have the option of receiving their Skydiamond during the Tour or for it to be delivered to them.

    5. The Skydiamond will be provided unset and on an ‘as is’ basis. Colour and clarity rating of the Skydiamonds will be at the Promoter’s discretion. We shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that Skydiamonds awarded are as similar as possible, but the nature of the Skydiamonds is such that some variation is inevitable. We will not enter into discussions regarding the size, quality or other attribute of the Skydiamonds.

    6. Further details of the Tour, including the specific date and timings, will be communicated to the Winners at least two weeks before the scheduled date of the Tour. This will include a designated location in Stroud from which we will arrange to collect the Winners and their guests and transport them to and from the Skydiamond Factory for the Tour. We will reimburse pre-authorised standard class travel expenses (rail, coach or car) for travel to and from the Winners’ residence in mainland Great Britain to Stroud for the Tour. We will not reimburse any other out-of-pocket expenses We may require Winners to provide receipts to verify travel expenses. Overnight accommodation and meal vouchers will be provided if required.

    7. We reserve the right to change the date of the Tour at any time if we are unable to offer the Tour on the specified date. In such circumstances we will endeavour to select an alternative date as soon as reasonably possible after the original date on which all Winners are able to receive the Tour.

    8. The Tour is in a working factory and so may not be suitable for those with restricted mobility or other disabilities. If a Winner (or their guest) has any disabilities that may affect their ability to safely participate in the Tour, they should notify us as soon as possible so that we can make any reasonable adjustments necessary to enable the Winner and/or their guest to attend the Tour. If we are unable to provide safe or suitable access for a Winner we will be under no obligation to provide a replacement Tour. If the Winner is able to attend the Tour but their guest is unable to in the circumstances described above, the Winner will be entitled to select an alternative guest.

    9. If we reasonably determine that a Winner’s attendance at the Tour (or that of a guest) would give rise to a health and safety risk to themselves, factory staff or other Winners, we may refuse the Winner and their guest access to the Tour. In such cases we will be under no obligation to provide a replacement Tour.
