7. Conditions for valid entry
Each entry must be accompanied by a valid purchase receipt issued by a pharmacy which is a member of the United Pharmacies of Cyprus during the competition period.
The receipt should clearly show:
- the purchase date,
- the receipt number,
- the name of the pharmacy,
- the total value of the purchase.
The Organiser reserves the right to request that any entrant present their original purchase receipt for the purpose of confirming the validity of their entry and the accuracy of the receipt.
Where the receipt is not legible or its validity cannot be confirmed, the Organiser may reject the specific entry.
The Organiser reserves the right to carry out any reasonable check it considers necessary to ascertain the validity of the entry and compliance with these Terms.
8. Calculating the number of entries
Every full € 50 you spend on eligible products entitles you to one (1) entry into the online prize draw. Your eligible purchase must be at least € 50 in total.
Let’s look at some examples:
- A € 50 receipt corresponds to one (1) entry.
- A € 100 receipt corresponds to two (2) entries.
- A € 150 receipt corresponds to three (3) entries.
The € 50 must be spent in a single purchase at the pharmacy. You cannot combine multiple receipts to reach the required amount.
The number of entries will be recorded in the Web Application based on the total value of the receipt.
Any amount under € 50 left over from a purchase will not be carried forward or counted towards a future entry.
9. Multiple entries
Each valid purchase receipt may only be used once.
Entrants may submit an unlimited number of entries during the Competition period provided that each entry is based on a different, valid purchase receipt.
The same receipt may not be used more than once.
If the same receipt is used more than once, the Organiser may cancel all entries linked to that receipt.
The Organiser may also reject entries that are submitted in abuse of the process, contain false information, or try in any other way to interfere with the fair running of the competition.
10. Checking entries
All entries are subject to a screening procedure after the draw is held.
Among other things, screening includes:
- Confirming the receipt is valid,
- Confirming the purchase was made at a pharmacy which is a member of United Pharmacies of Cyprus.
- Confirming that it relates to products other than medicines and General Healthcare System items.
- Checking for any double or invalid entries.
Entrants are obliged to retain their original purchase receipt until the Competition has ended and the prizes have been handed over, since the Organiser may request that it be presented for verification purposes.
Only purchases of products other than medicines and General Healthcare System items are eligible. Products that do not meet these requirements will not count towards entry into the competition.
KEDIFAP LTD’s Marketing Department will check entries to help ensure that the competition is run fairly and transparently.
11. Invalid entries
The Organiser reserves the right to reject any entry where it is found that:
- the purchase receipted is forged, altered or falsified,
- the receipt has already been used in a previous entry,
- the entrant’s personal details are false or incomplete,
- the conditions for entry laid down in these Terms and Conditions are not met,
- the photograph of the receipt does not clearly show the information needed to check it,

- there is a reasonable suspicion of abusive or fraudulent conduct,
- bots, fake accounts or other artificial means of entry have been used,
