Terms & Conditions

These terms govern entry into the VAPE CUP campaign. By taking part you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not enter. Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.

1. The promoter

The promoter of this campaign is the operator of the VAPE CUP campaign, acting for the participating brands Geek Bar and Geekvape.

The campaign runs two separate tournaments — one for Geek Bar products and one for Geekvape products. They are run independently: entries, votes, leaderboards and prize draws in one tournament have no effect on the other.

2. Who can enter

• You must be at least 18 years old, or older if your country sets a higher minimum age for the purchase or use of vaping products. You will be asked to confirm this before entering.
• Employees of the promoter, of the participating brands, and of any company involved in running this campaign — and their immediate families — may not enter.
• This campaign is not open where it would be unlawful, including where local law restricts the promotion of vaping products.
• One person may hold one entry account per tournament. Entering through multiple accounts is not permitted (see section 10).

3. Campaign period

The campaign runs during the period shown on the campaign page, and results are published on the date stated there. All times are given in the time zone shown on that page. If the campaign is not open, the site will tell you so when you try to enter.

Entries submitted before the campaign opens or after it closes will not be counted. The promoter’s server clock determines whether an entry was received in time.

4. How to enter

Entry is free and no purchase is necessary. To enter:

1. Confirm you meet the minimum age.
2. Sign in with your email address. We send a one-time code to that address; entering the code signs you in. There is no password.
3. Pick 16 products from the product pool to fill the bracket.
4. Play through the bracket — 15 matches, choosing a winner in each — until one product remains.
5. That product becomes your champion vote, which is what counts towards the leaderboard and prize eligibility.

5. Entries, sharing and referrals

A referral counts only when the person you invited signs in with their own email address for the first time. Referrals between accounts controlled by the same person do not count and may lead to disqualification. You may replay while you still have entries left.

6. Your champion vote

• You hold one champion vote per tournament, tied to your email address.
• If you play again and reach a different champion, your most recent vote replaces the previous one. Only your latest vote counts.
• Votes cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged.
• The leaderboard reflects valid votes recorded on our servers. Displayed figures may lag slightly behind the latest activity.

7. Prizes

Loyalty points pool

A pool of 100,000 G-POINTS per tournament is divided equally among eligible participants, and credited to the G-POINTS account linked to your email address. Because the pool is shared, the amount each person receives depends on how many people qualify.

Physical prizes

The physical prizes available in each tournament, and how many of each, are shown on the campaign page. Prize details may differ between the Geek Bar and Geekvape tournaments.

General prize terms

• Prizes are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
• The promoter may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the stated prize becomes unavailable.
• You are responsible for any tax arising from a prize in your country.
• G-POINTS are governed by the terms of the relevant brand’s loyalty programme.
• Prizes cannot be awarded where doing so would breach local law or sanctions.

8. How winners are chosen and notified

• When the campaign closes, the product with the most valid votes in each tournament is the winning product for that tournament.
• Physical prizes are drawn at random from the participants who cast a valid champion vote for that winning product. Voting for any other product does not enter you into that draw.
• The two tournaments are drawn separately and are completely independent.
• Draws take place after the results date and are conducted under the promoter’s supervision.
• Winners are notified by email at the address used to enter. The notification states how long you have to claim. If a winner cannot be reached, or does not provide valid delivery details within that period, the promoter may redraw.
• The promoter’s decision on all matters relating to the campaign is final.

9. Story submissions

If you submit a story, you confirm it is your own, that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights, and that it contains nothing unlawful, offensive or misleading. Submissions are reviewed before they appear, and the promoter may decline or remove any submission at its discretion.

By submitting, you grant the promoter a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display your submission in connection with this campaign. You keep ownership of what you wrote, and you can ask us to remove it at any time.

10. Fair play and disqualification

The following are not permitted:

• Using scripts, bots, automation or any technical means to submit entries or influence results.
• Creating multiple accounts, or using disposable or other people’s email addresses, to gain extra entries or votes.
• Attempting to interfere with the website, the voting mechanism or the leaderboard.
• Any other conduct intended to gain an unfair advantage.

We monitor for abuse. Where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken, we may void the affected entries and votes, disqualify the participant, and withhold or reclaim any prize.

11. Changes, suspension and cancellation

The promoter may amend these terms, or suspend or cancel the campaign, where circumstances outside its reasonable control make it necessary — including technical failure, abuse that undermines the integrity of the results, or a change in applicable law. Where that happens, the promoter will act fairly towards participants and will publish notice on the campaign page.

12. Liability

The promoter is not responsible for entries that are lost, delayed or not recorded because of network, hardware or software problems outside its control, nor for a participant’s inability to access the campaign. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the promoter’s place of establishment. Nothing in this section removes any right you have to bring proceedings in your country of residence where local consumer law gives you that right.

14. Contact

Questions about this campaign can be sent through the official customer service channels of the brand whose tournament you entered — Geek Bar or Geekvape. Mention the VAPE CUP campaign so your message reaches the right team.
