Terms of service

Section 1: Terms & Conditions (T&Cs)

1.1. Introduction

Welcome to Motorsport Dreams ("we," "us," or "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your participation in our skill-based motorsport-themed competitions ("Competition"). By making any purchases or entering any Competition on our platform, participants confirm that they have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions and agree to be legally bound by them in their entirety. If you do not agree, you should not participate.

1.1A. Entity & Brand Reference

In these Terms and Conditions, references to “Motorsport Dreams”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to the company legally operating this competition platform. Motorsport Dreams is a trading name of HH KNIGHTSBRIDGE LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16477096, with registered office at 128, City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. All references to Motorsport Dreams shall be interpreted accordingly.

1.2. Eligibility

• Must be at least 18 years old at the time of entry (or older, depending on jurisdiction).

• Open to residents of countries where such competitions are legally permitted.

• Not open to our employees or affiliates, or their immediate family members.

1.2A. Legal Participation by Jurisdiction

By entering our Competitions, you confirm that you are not in breach of any laws or restrictions in your country of residence regarding participation in skill-based competitions. It is your sole responsibility to ensure your eligibility under local laws before entering. We accept no liability for any Entrant who participates in contravention of applicable laws or regulatory restrictions in their country or region.

1.3. Entry

Participants may enter the Competition via:

• Paid Entry: By purchasing a ticket through our platform.
  Each paid competition entry includes a digital access ticket to the ‘Finale Reveal Event,’ where all paid contestants are entitled to join the live event where finalists, performances, and/or prize announcements will be showcased. This event is part of the competition entry value.

• Free Entry (Limited Spots): By completing promotional tasks (e.g., following social accounts and referring new followers). We reserve the right to cap or limit free entries per competition.

1.3A. Nature of the Product

Each paid entry constitutes the purchase of a digital product package, which includes:

• An event ticket granting the entrant access to the Finale Event and/or Prize Reveal Ceremony, either in-person or via livestream

• Eligibility to complete a skill-based challenge as outlined in the competition details

• Eligibility to vote on finalist choices or car specs (where applicable, varies by competition)

• Exclusive UGC-based rewards and bonus opportunities

• Access to exclusive behind-the-scenes or finalist content (where applicable)

Each purchase is tied to a tangible deliverable and a skill-based opportunity where the top performer wins by merit, not a game of chance or lottery mechanism.

1.3B. Entrant Contact Information Accuracy

Participants are solely responsible for providing accurate, current, and complete contact details at the time of entry, including but not limited to name, email address, phone number, and delivery address. We are not liable for any failure to contact or deliver a prize due to inaccurate or outdated information submitted by the entrant.

1.3.C. Entry Does Not Guarantee Winning

Purchasing a ticket bundle provides access to the competition and its associated digital content and event privileges but does not in any way guarantee selection as a winner. All prizes are awarded based solely on skill and merit-based performance or criteria defined within each competition.

1.4. Skill Element

This is a skill-based competition. Success is determined by:

• Creative user-generated content (UGC) challenges

• Challenges (physical or virtual) relating to car culture, driving, racing, or other skill based challenges

• Motorsport, racing, or other performance-based eliminations

• General knowledge quizzes or automotive knowledge tests

Skill-Based Nature of Competition
Competitions are structured in skill-based brackets. Winners are selected based on objective criteria such as knowledge, skill, performance, merit, as outlined in the Competition Rules. No element of chance or random drawing determines the outcome. This competition is not classified as gambling, lottery, or a game of chance.

1.5. Prize Structure

• Prizes vary by competition and may include cars, motorcycles, racing sponsorship, racing experiences, or other items of value.

• We reserve the right to substitute prizes with those of equal value at our sole discretion, or with the consent of the contestants if any unforeseen circumstances arises where there is a significant adjustment to the prizes.

• Prize details are provided as accurately and transparently as possible based on available information. Minor variations in specification, cosmetic condition, or presentation may occur. We recommend winners confirm all prize-related preferences or concerns prior to final acceptance.

• Full prize lists are published on the relevant Competition page prior to entry deadline.

If the advertised prize is a vehicle configured in a left-hand drive (LHD) or right-hand drive (RHD) format, and the winner resides in a country where the opposite drive configuration is standard or legally required or simply preferred by the winner, we reserves the right to:

• Offer the winner a substantially similar vehicle of equal value in the desired drive format, subject to availability; or

• Offer the winner a predetermined cash equivalent value in place of the vehicle, as listed on the competition page or as communicated at the time of winner notification.

1.5.A. Prize Representation

All prizes are described accurately to the best of our knowledge and provided in good faith but should not be relied upon as definitive valuations. We make no representation or warranty regarding the valuation, condition, roadworthiness, or resale potential of any prize awarded, including vehicles or physical items. Unless otherwise stated, prizes are awarded as-is. Entrants are responsible for ensuring the suitability of the prize for their personal use or jurisdiction.

1.5.B.1. Timing and Entry Carryover

In rare circumstances where not all available entries for a Competition have been sold by the scheduled winner announcement date, we reserve the right to:
(a) postpone the winner announcement to a later date (within 90 days), or
(b) transfer all valid entries to the next equivalent Competition of equal or greater value. 

All participants will be notified by email in such a case. If you prefer not to transfer your entry, you may opt out and request a full refund within 14 days of receiving the notification. This ensures both fairness and competition viability while maintaining full transparency to participants.

1.5.B.2. Entry Adjustment (“Split”) Clause 

We reserve the right to adjust ticket pricing and the total number of entries proportionally during a live Competition to maintain fair market value and balanced participation levels. 

If such an adjustment occurs, all existing entrants’ tickets will automatically multiply or adjust proportionally to preserve their total number of valid entries to win. For example, if the ticket price is reduced by 50% and the total entry pool doubled, your number of entries will also double, so your entries purchased in relation to the total number of entries available remain unchanged. Your total entry value will always remain fully intact and unaffected by such structural adjustments.

This mechanism protects fairness for all entrants while allowing the organiser to respond dynamically to market demand.

1.5.B.3. Competition Continuity & Fair Adjustment

We are committed to ensuring that every Competition is run fairly, transparently, and with the best experience possible for participants. 

In rare circumstances where adjustments are necessary — for example, to ensure sufficient participation or to merge similar events for fairness — we may reschedule or align Competitions of equal or greater value. 

All valid entries will remain fully honoured and will:
(a) carry forward to the adjusted or equivalent draw, or
(b) be refunded in full at the entrant’s request.

Any such changes will be communicated clearly and promptly to all participants.

1.6. UGC (User-Generated Content) and Media Rights

By entering the Competition, participants agree: 

• To grant us an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, publish, and edit such content
