Only one Valid Entry per person is permitted per Round, regardless of how many phones that person sends in.

"Prize Fund": The total amount available to be shared between the Winners of a given Round, being the net proceeds received by the Promoter from its recycling partner in respect of eligible phones received during that Round, after deduction of the Promoter's collection, freight, processing and administration costs for that Round.

2.1. To take part in a Round, you must: (a) post at least one eligible mobile phone to the Promoter for recycling, at your own cost, to the address provided by the Promoter: Sterling house, 7 Ashford road, ME14 5BJ; and (b) submit your email address via Hungry for Phones Initiative webpage to register for that Round's Prize Draw.

2.5. The Promoter is not responsible for phones that are lost, delayed or damaged in the post, or that otherwise fail to reach the Promoter.

3. Eligibility

3.1. The Initiative is open to Eligible Entrants only, namely individuals who are UK residents aged 18 or over.

3.2. Excluded Entrants are not permitted to take part in, or win, the Initiative.

3.3. The Promoter reserves the right to request reasonable proof of identity, age and UK residency from any entrant, including a Winner, before confirming or releasing a prize.

4. Rounds and the Prize Fund

4.1. The Initiative runs in successive Rounds. Round 1 is expected to run for approximately three months from 01.09.2026, or until the Promoter has received its target weight of eligible phones for that Round (currently approximately 500kg). Once Round 1 closes, Round 2 will begin on a similar basis, and further Rounds may follow.

4.2. The size of the Prize Fund for a Round depends on the volume and type of phones received during that Round and the rate paid by the Promoter's recycling partner per kilogramme of phones received, and will vary between Rounds. The Promoter will calculate the Prize Fund reasonably and in good faith deducting postage and packaging costs.

4.3. After all expenses deducted, the Prize Fund for a Round will be divided equally between the three Winners of that Round.

5. The Prize Draw

5.1. As soon as reasonably possible after a Round closes, and once the Promoter has received payment from its recycling partner in respect of that Round (which may take up to 30 days), the Promoter will hold the Prize Draw for that Round. For Round 1, the Promoter currently expects the Prize Draw to take place in early 2027, though this depends on processing and payment timescales and is subject to change.

5.2. Three Winners will be selected at random by the Promoter from all Valid Entries received for that Round.

5.3. Winners will be notified by email, sent to the email address provided as part of their Valid Entry, in the lead-up to and/or at the time of the Prize Draw. The Promoter does not collect or use any other contact details for this purpose.

5.4. If you do not receive an email confirming that you have won, you have not won a prize in that Round. The Promoter will not enter into further correspondence about individual results.

5.5. A Winner must respond to the notification email within 72 hours to confirm their chosen retailer for their gift card. If a Winner does not respond within 72 hours, their entitlement to the prize will lapse, and the Promoter reserves the right to select an alternative Winner at random from the remaining Valid Entries for that Round or, if this is not practicable, to carry the relevant share forward into the next Round's Prize Fund.

6. The Prize

6.1. Each Winner will receive a digital gift card, for a retailer of their choice, to the value of their equal share of the Prize Fund for that Round.

6.2. The gift card will be sent electronically to the email address the Winner provided as part of their Valid Entry.

6.3. Prizes are not transferable, cannot be exchanged, and no cash alternative is available.

6.4. The Promoter is not responsible for a gift card not being received due to an incorrect email address being provided, or due to the notification or gift card being filtered as spam or otherwise failing to reach the Winner's inbox.

7. Data Protection and Privacy

7.1. The Promoter will collect and use the email address you submit to administer the Initiative, the relevant Round, the Prize Draw and, if you win, delivery of your prize.

7.2. The Promoter will not use your email address for marketing purposes unless you have separately opted in to receive marketing communications.

7.3. The Promoter will retain entrants' email addresses only for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the relevant Round and Prize Draw and to deal with related queries.
