TERMS & CONDITIONS OF JUDGING

All awards will be judged and scored against the criteria out of 100 maximum points.

The judges’ decision is final, and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into or feedback given regarding the selection of shortlisted nominations or winners.

Shortlisted entrants will be contacted by email (on the address provided in the application) on the shortlist announcement date.

In the interest of transparency, judges or their businesses are ineligible to enter the awards.

Judges will be asked to sign an NDA in advance of commencing judging.

All judging takes place separately and independently with no conferring allowed between judges. Judges can only access entries that they have been provided to score.

Judges will be asked to declare any perceived conflict of interest to the event organisers ahead of judging entries – and they will be recused from judging that category.

Judges will be asked to permanently & securely delete all judging materials immediately after the judging process is finalised.

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF TICKET PURCHASES/EVENT

Cancellations are permitted 30 days or more in advance of the Awards Ceremony on 13th September 2024.

No cancellations are acceptable after this date, and therefore no refunds are payable after this point. However, you may nominate a substitute guest who can attend in your place.

All requests for substitutions must be made in writing to awards@ecomm.live

Where circumstances force cancellation of the event in its entirety, Grow Consultancy Limited will offer a full refund to each paying delegate / guest within 14 days of the cancellation.
