Conditions of the offer must be correct, accurately worded and relevant

Conditions must not be capable of generating potential misunderstandings, ambiguities or misinterpretations

EXCEPTION – LIMITED SPACEIf limited space due to medium it can be OK to

reference to different medium for additional information

BUT!!

If significant limitations are associated with the offer it will be insufficient to refer customers to a different medium

be receivedWhen play-through requirements must be met
