The Green Gooners Tournament Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) set out the basis on which you can participate in the tournament on Planet League’s platform (the “Tournament”) for a chance to win the prizes specified below. The Tournament is administered and run by Planet League Ventures Limited (company number 11189610) (“Planet League”) with The Arsenal Football Club Limited (company number 109244) (“Arsenal”) and Ball Corporation (Federal Tax ID number 35-0160610) providing the prizes. No purchase is required.
Eligibility: The Tournament is open to all supporters of Arsenal Football Club who are UK residents and aged 18 or over at the time of entry. If participants are aged under 18, consent from a parent or guardian must be obtained prior to entry and the parent or guardian must agree to these Terms and Conditions in full. Winners under 18 may be required to supply a completed parental/guardian consent form in accordance with Arsenal’s directions in order to participate or receive their prizes.
Duration: The Tournament will start at 12:00am Greenwich Mean Time (“GMT”) on Monday, 11th November 2024 (“Start Date”) and end at 11:59pm (GMT) on Sunday, 1st December 2024 (“Closing Date”).
Participation: To participate in the Tournament, participants must create an account on the Planet League platform (www.greengooner.com), choose from a series of activities available on the platform, and upload a photograph which evidences them completing the selected activity. Participants can complete as many activities as they like to score more green goals and climb the league table. No purchase is required to participate in the Tournament but you will require an email, internet access and a device capable of capturing a photograph. No refund may be claimed for any expenses incurred relating to the use of an email address, internet access or device for the purpose of entering and participating in the Tournament or receiving the prizes specified below.
Verification: All photographs submitted for goal-scoring purposes will be reviewed by Planet League’s “VAR” system, which will check for authenticity. Planet League's "VAR" system operates by having a member of the team check the participants uploaded photograph once they complete an activity. If the photograph matches with the activity and is verified as legitimate, then the user is awarded the green goals. Green goals which are not authentic or for which photographs are uploaded that are deemed inappropriate (by Planet League's member of staff in their absolute discretion acting reasonably) will not be counted towards the participants score.
Exclusions: Members of staff from Arsenal, Ball Corporation or Planet League (or anyone else connected with the Tournament), or members of their immediate family, can take part in the Tournament but are not eligible to win any prizes offered in the Tournament.
Cancellation: Planet League reserves the right to withdraw or amend the Tournament or these Terms and Conditions if circumstances outside its reasonable control make this unavoidable.
