    2. Select the SMA® Baby Club Referral prize draw programme banner at the top of the home page or follow the link in the invitation email
    3. Select one of the four prize options available. Only one prize selection is permitted per SMA® Baby Club account per 4-week period.

    5. Copy the link or use the email function to share the unique link with friends and family (the “Referees”) in order to refer them to sign up to the SMA® Baby Club. The email function will open up in your preferred email client with a pre-populated message which can be edited. The link should only be shared with friends or family members who are currently pregnant or have a child under the age of two (2) as only these individuals are eligible to join the SMA ® Baby Club. Each new individual member who signs up to SMA® Baby Club upon registration and confirmation of their account will also be eligible to claim a personalised Welcome Pack.
    6. One sign up from a friend or family member referral will count as one entry in to the prize draw for the 4-week promotional period. The more friends or family members referred that sign up the more entries the Referrer will have in to the prize draw.
    7. Each time the entrant logs back in their SMA® Baby Club the promotional page will present their prize choice, along with the closing date of the promotion and the Referrer’s unique link.
    8. All referral links will become inactive following the closure of the promotion at 11:59:59 AM GMT on the last day of the 4-week period.

  3. Entrants will receive an email 15 days after the beginning of the 4-week promotional period confirming the number of friends and family members who have signed up using their referral link, thus confirming the number of entries the entrant has at that stage in the current prize draw.
  4. Entries submitted via third parties, agents or in bulk are prohibited. The Promoter reserves the right to refuse to award a prize if they reasonably suspect that any entry was submitted by such means. Any person trying to circumvent the entry process by any method (e.g. multiple names, phones, address or IP) will be disqualified (along with their household and any other associated entries) for the duration of the Promotion.

Instructions for Referee

In order to sign up to the SMA® Baby Club the Referee must:
    1. Use the link sent to them. This link must be used within the relevant promotional period in order to count as an entry for the Referrer. In the event a sign up is made after the close of the promotional period or via the standard SMA® Baby Club (https://www.smababy.co.uk/registration/) website this will not count as an entry for the Referrer.
    2. Sign up to SMA ® Baby Club by entering first name, last name, genuine authentic personal email address, baby’s date of birth or due date and password.
    3. Validate the sign up by clicking on the link in the confirmation email. This then counts as one entry in to the prize draw for the Referrer.
    4. All Referees can also claim a free personalised welcome pack following successful validation of email address. To claim the welcome pack, Referees must enter a valid postcode and address, the welcome pack will then be sent to the address provided upon sign up within 28 days.
    5. New members have the opportunity of entering the prize draw following successful sign up by following the steps in clause 6.

The session will be booked on behalf of the Winner by the Promoter.

Some water items may not be available to purchase via vouchers. Any additional services or requirements over the £500 prize offer, or travel expenses will have to be paid for by the Winner.

Winner Selection

  1. The winner will be selected from all valid entries received via a random computerised draw selection process which will be carried out within three (3) working days after the final closing date of the 4-week promotional period. All valid entries for the 4-week period will be attributed to the correct Referrer to whom the referral was linked as per the original unique link. The prize draw will be administered by an independent third-party company who will be responsible for the draw compliance.

Winner Notification

  1. The Winner will be notified via email to the email address registered to their SMA® Baby Club account within seven (7) working days of the prize draw taking place. All reasonable steps will be taken to contact the Winner, but if this cannot be achieved within 28 days of the original notification, the Promoter reserves the right to cancel prize entitlement and award the Prize to a reserve winner drawn at the same time as the original. Should the reserve winner fail to respond within 28 days of notification, the Prize will be withdrawn from the Promotion and deemed void.
  2. The Prize selected by the Winner upon signing up to the prize draw, if a gift card or voucher prize, will be dispatched within 14 days of the Winner supplying their relevant contact details, following a verification process, therefore allowing the maximum validity period on the gift card.

If a baby/toddler swimming activity session is chosen, the Winner will be contacted to make arrangements with available local companies/pools who have the necessary facilities to fulfil the prize as outlined in Clause 11 (d). After presenting the options available to the Winner, the Promoter will book the necessary prize up to the maximum £500 value, or in the case of a swimming activity, provide vouchers up to the value of the prize. The Winner will not receive any cash payment, or other alternative for activities or unused sessions from the £500 prize value.
