4. How to Enter

You may enter once. One (1) entry per person for the entire Promotion Period, by either method below. Additional entries will be void. Which method you use makes no difference to your chances.

4.1 Free entry (no purchase)

Go to https://www.seekdiscomfort.com/pages/come-to-cappadocia and complete the entry form, filling in all required fields accurately. Submitting a completed form gives you one (1) entry.

4.2 Entry with a purchase

If you place an order at seekdiscomfort.com during the Promotion Period and check out using a valid email address, we will enter you automatically” one (1) entry, the same as the free method.

Buying something gives you no advantage. It does not give you extra entries, does not improve your odds, and is not required to enter or win. If you order more than once, you still get one entry. If you both order and submit the free form, you still get one entry.

If your order is cancelled, refunded, returned, or charged back, your entry remains invalid” you simply keep the one entry you were already entitled to.

4.3 Entry rules

  • One entry per person. Not per email address, not per order, not per household member sharing a device” per person.
  • Enter on your own behalf. Entries submitted by anyone else, by any automated or scripted means, by any sweepstakes service or agent, or through the use of multiple identities or email addresses are void, and we may disqualify every entry associated with you.
  • All entries become Sponsor's property and will not be returned or acknowledged.
  • Proof of sending is not proof of receipt. We are not responsible for entries that are lost, late, incomplete, misdirected, or that fail to reach us for any reason.

5. How Winners Are Chosen

[TEN (10)] winners will be selected in total” one (1) winner drawn on each day of the Promotion Period. Each drawing is made at random from all eligible entries received up to that point that have not already been selected. Once you are selected, your entry is removed from the pool; you cannot win twice.

Drawings are conducted by Seek Discomfort Team. Sponsor's decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Promotion.

Your odds of winning depend on how many eligible entries we receive. We cannot predict this in advance. Given the promotion is open internationally, the number of entries may be large and the odds of any one entry winning may be low.

6. The Prize

Each of the [TEN (10)] winners receives:

Round-trip economy airfare for 1 person from the major international airport nearest the winner's residence, trip to Turkey; 2 nights' accommodation in Cappadocia, standard room, double occupancy; and participation in a group Seek Discomfort experience on dates set by Sponsor.

We are not responsible for technical failures, network or website problems, lost or delayed transmissions, unauthorised interference, or errors in administering the Promotion.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Promotion Entities are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits on liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these rules limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. In particular, nothing here affects the statutory rights of consumers in the United Kingdom, the European Union, or Australia.

9. Conduct, Changes, and Cancellation

We may disqualify anyone who tampers with the entry process or our site, breaches these rules, or acts abusively or disruptively toward other entrants or our team. Deliberately undermining the Promotion may breach criminal and civil law, and we reserve the right to pursue remedies.

If the Promotion cannot run as planned — because of a technical fault, virus, tampering, fraud, war, natural disaster, pandemic, government action, carrier failure, or anything else beyond our reasonable control — we may cancel, suspend, or modify it, in whole or in part, and award prizes from eligible entries received before the disruption, or otherwise as we consider fair. 

If any provision here is found invalid, the rest continues to apply. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

In a dispute about who submitted an entry, the entry is deemed submitted by the authorised account holder of the email address used, and we may require proof of that.

10. Your Privacy

We collect the information you provide when entering — in order to run the Promotion, verify eligibility, contact winners, and meet our legal and tax obligations.

  • EU/UK entrants: you have rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection under the GDPR/UK GDPR.
