Yeah, right. I took the trouble ( I cannot imagine why ) to read the terms and conditions

Condition 11 says this "11. The Prize may be subject to additional terms and conditions, including but not limited to DeAgostini’s terms for service. The Winners agree that the cost of and the responsibility for complying with such terms and conditions will be borne solely by the Winners. All third party terms and conditions relating to the Prize are beyond the control of DeAgostini."

Quite what this is intended to mean I cannot imagine, but I would not touch it with a bargepole

All part of advertising the 1/8 scale subscription kit sent out over 100 weeks at a total cost of about £900. More info here: viewtopic.php?p=81804#p81804

What disappoints me is the poster could not even be bothered to personalise the message as intended, preferring to leave in all that crap about "listings release" and conditions. PR is not what it used to be!
