Competition Terms
Being Otters, we are a fun-loving bunch. But, in certain situations, we have to get serious. Contest Terms and Conditions are one of those situations where all seriousness comes into play.
As all Entrants will be bound by these Contest Terms and Conditions of Otter Products EMEA and they will create a legally binding agreement with respect to the Contest, please read them carefully. In order to enter the Contest all Entrants must agree to the terms of these Contest Terms and Conditions.
