TradeKind Share Prize Terms

At a glance

The TradeKind Share Prize is a free monthly prize draw for approved TradeKind businesses.

One £100 cash prize is available in each Monthly Draw that receives at least one valid entry.
Entrants must be aged 18 or over and authorised to represent an approved public TradeKind business profile.
Each participating business can receive up to five entries per Monthly Draw.
A business can receive no more than one entry from each qualifying sharing method.
No purchase, subscription or payment to TradeKind is required.
Each valid entry has an equal chance of winning.
The winner is selected randomly outside the TradeKind platform under independent supervision.
Each Monthly Draw closes at 11:59pm on the final calendar day of the month, using Europe/London time.

Publishing these terms does not itself open a Monthly Draw. Entries are accepted only when live entry controls are available in an approved TradeKind dashboard.

These terms are version 2026-07-30-v1.

Promoter

The promoter is Neal Drummond, a sole trader trading as TradeKind, of:

17 Monks Court, Lancing, West Sussex, BN15 9BD

Contact email: hello@tradekind.co.uk

TradeKind is referred to as “TradeKind”, “we”, “us” or “the promoter” in these terms.

Nature of the promotion

The TradeKind Share Prize is a free prize draw intended to encourage approved tradespeople to share their genuine public TradeKind business profile.

It is not a paid raffle. Entrants cannot buy entries, purchase additional entries or improve their chances by paying TradeKind.

Normal mobile-data, internet or standard messaging charges imposed by an entrant’s own provider may still apply.

Monthly Draw periods

Each separate monthly promotion is called a “Monthly Draw”.

A Monthly Draw:

opens at 12:00am on the first calendar day of the month
closes at 11:59pm on the final calendar day of the same month
uses Europe/London time
is separate from every earlier or later Monthly Draw

Entries do not carry into another month.

The exact closing date for the current Monthly Draw will be shown in the TradeKind dashboard.

An entry submitted after the closing time will not be included in that Monthly Draw.

The first live Monthly Draw will begin only after the Share Prize feature has been deployed, verified in production and opened by TradeKind. Where practical, the first live draw will begin on the first day of a complete calendar month.

Who may enter

An entrant must:

be aged 18 or over
be resident in the United Kingdom
own, operate or be authorised to represent the participating business
have an approved public TradeKind business profile
offer genuine trade or home-service work within TradeKind’s supported Sussex area
remain approved and unsuspended when the winner is selected
submit entries through the authorised TradeKind dashboard for that business

The participating business profile must contain genuine and reasonably accurate information.

Who may not enter

The following people and businesses may not enter:

Neal Drummond
TradeKind employees
contractors materially involved in administering the Share Prize
anyone involved in selecting or independently supervising the winner
the spouse, civil partner, cohabiting partner, parent, child or sibling of any person listed above
household members of any person listed above
fake, duplicate or test businesses
rejected, suspended or unpublished businesses
anyone attempting to enter on behalf of a business without authority

TradeKind may ask for reasonable evidence that an entrant owns or is authorised to represent the business.

Prize

One winner will receive a £100 cash prize paid by cheque.

There is one prize in each Monthly Draw that receives at least one valid entry.

If a Monthly Draw receives no valid entries, no winner will be selected and no prize will be awarded for that month.

The prize:

cannot be exchanged for TradeKind credit, services or another item
cannot be transferred to another participating business
will not be increased because of the number of entries received
does not include additional costs or expenses

A business that wins one Monthly Draw may enter and win a later Monthly Draw.

Maximum entries

Each participating business may receive a maximum of five entries in each Monthly Draw.

The available entry methods are:

one WhatsApp entry
one text-message entry
one Facebook business Page entry
one Instagram professional-account entry
one X entry

A business cannot receive more than one entry from the same method during the same Monthly Draw.

Using multiple users, telephone numbers, social accounts, Pages or duplicate business profiles does not create additional entries for the same participating business.

Every valid entry has equal weight. A WhatsApp or text-message entry has the same chance of winning as a valid public social-media entry.

General entry process

To claim an entry, the authorised business user must:

sign in to the TradeKind dashboard
use or follow the relevant sharing method
genuinely complete the relevant share
return to the TradeKind entry flow
provide any information or evidence required for that method
confirm that the share is genuine and the submitted information is accurate
agree to the version of these terms shown at the time of entry
submit the entry before the Monthly Draw closes

Opening a sharing application without completing a genuine share does not qualify.

TradeKind records the terms version and time of agreement for every submitted entry.

WhatsApp entry

A business may claim one WhatsApp entry in each Monthly Draw.

To qualify:

the authorised user must genuinely send the business’s generated TradeKind public-profile link by WhatsApp
the message must be sent to at least one relevant existing customer, contact or person who has asked for, or would reasonably expect to receive, the business’s information
the user must return to TradeKind and complete the required declaration
the entry must be submitted before the Monthly Draw closes

It is not necessary to message more than one person.

The entrant must not:

send unsolicited bulk messages
use bought, rented, scraped or automated contact lists
send the message repeatedly to the same person
message people who have asked not to receive marketing
mislead recipients about the sender or purpose of the message
use automated WhatsApp messaging to generate entries

TradeKind does not collect the recipient’s name, telephone number, contact-list information or private conversation.

The declaration creates an entry subject to these terms. TradeKind may invalidate it where there is reasonable evidence that the declaration was false, automated, abusive or fraudulent.

Text-message entry

A business may claim one text-message entry in each Monthly Draw.

To qualify:

the authorised user must genuinely send the business’s generated TradeKind public-profile link by text message
the message must be sent to at least one relevant existing customer, contact or person who has asked for, or would reasonably expect to receive, the business’s information
the user must return to TradeKind and complete the required declaration
the entry must be submitted before the Monthly Draw closes

It is not necessary to message more than one person.

The entrant must not:

send unsolicited bulk messages
use bought, rented, scraped or automated contact lists
send the message repeatedly to the same person
message people who have asked not to receive marketing
mislead recipients about the sender or purpose of the message
use automated text messaging to generate entries

TradeKind does not collect the recipient’s name, telephone number, contact-list information or private conversation.

The declaration creates an entry subject to these terms. TradeKind may invalidate it where there is reasonable evidence that the declaration was false, automated, abusive or fraudulent.

Facebook business Page entry

A business may claim one Facebook entry in each Monthly Draw.

The qualifying post must:

be a newly created public post on an official Facebook business Page representing the participating business
be created during the relevant Monthly Draw
contain the generated public TradeKind profile URL
contain a clear and upfront advertising or TradeKind Share Prize disclosure
remain publicly accessible until the Monthly Draw result has been published
comply with Facebook’s current rules
be submitted to TradeKind using its public post URL

The following do not qualify:

personal Timeline posts
posts on another person’s Timeline
posts requiring people to tag friends
private posts
private messages
inaccessible group posts
deleted posts
reused posts from an earlier month
repeated or substantially duplicate entries from several Facebook Pages

Instagram professional-account entry

A business may claim one Instagram entry in each Monthly Draw.

The qualifying share must come from a public Instagram professional account that genuinely represents the participating business.

The following formats may qualify:

a public feed post containing the generated TradeKind profile URL
a public Reel with the generated TradeKind profile URL in its caption
an Instagram Story containing the generated TradeKind profile URL through a visible link sticker

A public post or Reel must:

be newly created during the relevant Monthly Draw
contain a clear and upfront advertising or TradeKind Share Prize disclosure
remain publicly accessible until the result has been published
be submitted using its public Instagram URL

Because a Story may expire, the entrant must submit a screenshot showing:

the relevant business account
the Story content
the visible TradeKind link sticker
enough platform context for TradeKind to assess the entry

Story evidence is stored privately and is not published on the business profile.

The entry must comply with Instagram’s current rules.

X entry

A business may claim one X entry in each Monthly Draw.

The qualifying post must:

be newly created during the relevant Monthly Draw
be published from a public account genuinely representing the participating business
contain the generated TradeKind public-profile URL
contain a clear and upfront advertising or TradeKind Share Prize disclosure
remain publicly accessible until the result has been published
be submitted using its public post URL
comply with X’s current rules

Repeated duplicate or near-duplicate posts do not create additional entries.

Using several X accounts for the same participating business does not create additional entries.

Suggested wording supplied by TradeKind may be edited, but the post must:

remain accurate
clearly identify or represent the participating business
contain the correct generated TradeKind public-profile URL
avoid false or exaggerated claims
avoid claiming services or coverage the business does not provide
avoid unlawful, abusive, discriminatory or infringing content
include a clear and upfront advertising or TradeKind Share Prize disclosure

TradeKind’s default prepared wording may begin with:

Ad — TradeKind Share Prize entry.

Equivalent wording may be accepted where it makes the incentivised nature of the post equally clear and prominent.

The #TradeKind hashtag may be included but is not required for an entry to be valid.

TradeKind does not guarantee that sharing will produce enquiries, traffic, indexing, rankings or recommendations from search engines or AI platforms.

Sharing may nevertheless help more people discover the business, give customers and contacts one profile to view and recommend, bring direct visits to the public profile, and help search engines and AI platforms discover and understand the public TradeKind profile.

Duplicate and reused entries

The same public post URL cannot be submitted more than once.

An old post cannot be reused in a later Monthly Draw.

TradeKind may reject:

duplicate URLs
reused posts
reused Story screenshots
mirrored posts from duplicate accounts
altered or misleading evidence
posts published outside the relevant Monthly Draw
posts that do not contain the correct public profile URL
posts that are no longer accessible
entries submitted for the wrong business
entries generated through fraud or automation

Entry status

WhatsApp and text-message entries are normally confirmed after the authorised user submits the required declaration.

Public social-media entries begin as awaiting review.

After review, a public social-media entry may be marked:

confirmed
unable to be confirmed

An entry that is awaiting review when the Monthly Draw closes may still be included if it was submitted before the deadline and is subsequently confirmed before the winner is selected.

TradeKind may review or invalidate any entry where there is reasonable evidence of mistake, abuse, fraud or breach of these terms.

Fair administration

TradeKind will apply the published rules fairly and consistently.

TradeKind may investigate and reject an entry where it reasonably believes that the entry:

is false or misleading
was not genuinely completed
came from a fake or duplicate business
was submitted without authority
uses altered evidence
was created through automation
involves abusive or indiscriminate messaging
breaches a platform’s rules
attempts to manipulate the promotion
otherwise breaches these terms

Internal moderation and fraud notes will not be displayed publicly.

Winner selection

The TradeKind platform does not select the winner.

After all entries for the Monthly Draw have been reviewed, one winner will be selected randomly from all valid entries.

The selection will take place outside the TradeKind system and will be conducted by, or under the supervision of, a person who is independent of the promotion.

The promoter will retain reasonable evidence that the winner was selected randomly.

Every valid entry will have an equal chance of selection.

The winner will normally be selected within 14 days after the Monthly Draw closes.

Winner notification

The winner will be contacted manually using the contact information associated with their TradeKind account.

TradeKind will make at least three reasonable contact attempts during the 14-day response period.

The selected winner must respond within 14 calendar days of the first notification and provide any information reasonably required to:

confirm eligibility
confirm authority over the business
identify the correct cheque payee
provide a suitable postal address for the cheque

TradeKind will not ask for online-banking passwords, payment-card details or account login credentials.

Replacement winner

TradeKind may conduct a replacement random draw if the selected winner:

does not respond within 14 calendar days
cannot reasonably be contacted
is found to be ineligible
cannot demonstrate authority over the business
supplied false information
refuses the prize
has been suspended or removed from TradeKind for a serious breach

Any replacement winner will be selected using the same random and independently supervised process.

Prize payment

The £100 prize will be paid by cheque.

The cheque will be made payable to:

the verified participating business; or
the verified individual operating the business where reasonably appropriate

The cheque will normally be sent within 28 days after the winner has responded and completed the required verification.

TradeKind is not responsible for delay caused by incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the winner.

Winner publication

After the winner has been confirmed, TradeKind may publish:

the winning business name
its town or county
its public TradeKind profile
the month won

TradeKind does not need to publish the owner’s home address, private telephone number or private email address.

A winner may ask TradeKind not to publish, or to limit, their personal information. TradeKind may still provide information to the Advertising Standards Authority or another competent regulator where required to demonstrate that a valid prize was awarded.

Unsuccessful entrants

Businesses that entered but did not win may see a dashboard message confirming that the Monthly Draw has ended and inviting them to enter a later Monthly Draw.

Entries do not automatically carry into the next month.

A fresh share and fresh entry are required for each new Monthly Draw.

Tax

A prize received in connection with a trade or business may have tax consequences.

The winner is responsible for determining and meeting any personal or business tax obligations arising from the prize.

TradeKind does not provide tax advice.

Privacy and records

TradeKind may process:

participating business and owner identifiers
draw month
entry method
public social-post URL
private Instagram Story evidence where applicable
entry and review status
terms version and agreement time
submission and review timestamps
internal moderation information
winner and prize-fulfilment records

TradeKind does not require or retain WhatsApp or text-message recipient details, private message content or contact lists.

Further information is available in the TradeKind Privacy Policy.

Evidence retention

TradeKind intends to:

delete private non-winning Instagram Story screenshots 90 days after the relevant result is published
retain non-winning entry metadata for up to 24 months
retain winner, prize-payment and accounting records for up to six years
retain relevant records for longer where reasonably required for a complaint, dispute, fraud investigation or legal obligation

Third-party platforms

This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X, Apple, Google or any mobile-network provider.

Entrants are responsible for complying with the rules of every platform or messaging service they use.

By entering through Facebook or Instagram, each entrant releases Facebook and Instagram from responsibility connected with the TradeKind Share Prize to the fullest extent permitted by law.

TradeKind is not responsible for:

platform outages
mobile-network failures
posts removed or restricted by a platform
account suspensions imposed by a platform
changed platform functionality
delayed messages
connection problems
entries submitted after the deadline
an entrant’s breach of third-party platform rules

Changes, suspension or cancellation

TradeKind will not change significant conditions after a Monthly Draw has opened merely because entry numbers are higher or lower than expected.

TradeKind may make a change, suspend a method or cancel a Monthly Draw only where circumstances genuinely outside its reasonable control make fair administration impossible, or where a change is required by law or a platform rule.

Where reasonably possible:

existing valid entries will be protected
entrants will be informed
no entrant will be unfairly disadvantaged
the published prize will still be awarded

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TradeKind is not responsible for losses caused by:

an entrant’s breach of these terms
an entrant’s unlawful messaging
inaccurate entry information
third-party platforms or network providers
inaccessible or deleted posts
events outside TradeKind’s reasonable control

Complaints

Questions or complaints about the Share Prize should be sent to:

hello@tradekind.co.uk

Please include:

the participating business name
the relevant Monthly Draw
the entry method
a concise explanation of the issue

TradeKind will review complaints fairly and may retain relevant information while the complaint remains open.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights an entrant may have under applicable law.

Acceptance

By submitting an entry, the entrant confirms that:

they have read and agreed to these terms
they are eligible to enter
they are authorised to represent the participating business
the share and submitted information are genuine and accurate
they accept the applicable platform and messaging rules
they understand that invalid entries may be rejected
