The Prize Draw & Lottery Scheme (“the Scheme”) is non-profit making and is solely for the benefit of the members of the Scheme. The Scheme is managed in a transparent and clear manner with the appropriate systems and controls in place. It complies with s. 108 of the Credit Union Act 1997 and other applicable legislation.
The Scheme is open to all members of Aviate Credit Union (“the Credit Union”) (excluding staff, volunteers, directors & board oversight members) aged 18 years or over, subject to the payment of the relevant subscription.
The Scheme will hold a draw each month, ona date as determined by the Credit Union. All draws will be held publicly in one of the Credit Union offices or any other location as determined by the Credit Union. Notice of dates and location of draws will be updated on the Credit Union website.
In order to be entered into the draw, members must give their written consent by way of Entry Form. Members must pay a monthly subscription, one month in arrears. It is the responsibility of the member to fund the Scheme by way of any of the Credit Union’s multiple forms of payment systems. The amount of the subscription will be set by the Board of Directors (“the board”) from time to time. Changes to subscription and Terms & Conditions will be notified “by post or by notice in our branches or by notice on the Credit Union website or by notice through the Credit Union’s social media platforms or all or any of these methods”.
Members can enter each draw multiple times, provided that the Entry Form is completed & subscription is paid for each entry.
The grand prize for each monthly draw will be cash and/or further prizes at the sole discretion of the Board of the Credit Union. The value of the prizes to be given away each month will be at the sole discretion of the board of the Credit Union and will be dependent on the funds of the Scheme.
The Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers of the Credit Union will not be liable for any defects or otherwise found in a prize supplied under a draw.
All prizes that are supplied to the Credit Union will be subject to any additional terms and conditions of that supplier of the prize. The Credit Union is no way liable for any issue arising out of those terms and conditions or any breach arising therefrom.
The first entry drawn at random from all entries received by the closing date will win the grand prize. If there is a runner up prize, the next entry drawn will win the runner up prize.
A member of the Management Team will supervise each draw. The decision of the board is final. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, the Credit Union reserves the right to substitute the prize for an alternative of equal or greater value. No correspondence will be entered into.
The winners will be notified by post within 28 days of the draw. The winner must claim the prize within 28 days of receipt of notification of the prize. If the prize is unclaimed after this time, it lapses and the Credit Union reserves the right to offer the prize to a substitute winner selected in accordance with these rules.
In the event of a deceased member winning any prize in the draw in order to win that prize, the member must have been alive at the time the draw takes place. If the aforementioned conditions are met, then the prize will be awarded to this deceased member, and the proceeds will be passed to their estate (provided the member satisfied all terms and conditions of the draw). If the member is deceased when the draw takes place then the draw will be deemed void, and another draw will take place. If this situation arises, the subscription fee will be refunded to the deceased member’s account.
With the winner’s consent, their name will be made available to those who request it, in writing, to Aviate Credit Union, Cloghran House, Corballis Way, Dublin Airport within ten (10) weeks after the draw and enclose a stamped addressed envelope.
