  • Employees of the Promoter, their immediate families, and agencies associated with this competition are not eligible to enter.

  • The Promoter reserves the right to verify the eligibility of all entrants.

3. Entry Period

  • The prize draw runs on a monthly basis. The entry period for each monthly draw opens at 00:00 am Japan Standard Time (JST) on the 25th day of each month.

  • The closing date for entries into that specific month's draw is 23:59 pm JST on the 24th day of the following month.

    2. Make one (1) purchase of any product from the WYWH Japan store during the relevant Entry Period.

  • Entry Limit: Each individual purchase made during the Entry Period constitutes one (1) entry into that month's draw. If a participant makes multiple purchases, they will receive multiple entries (e.g., 3 purchases = 3 entries). Membership alone does not constitute an entry; a store purchase is required.

  • Fraudulent Entry: The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who tampers with the entry process, submits entries in a manner contrary to these terms, or uses automated means, bots, or fraudulent methods to enter. The Promoter reserves the right to void any entries it reasonably suspects have been made fraudulently.

  • No Changes: The winner cannot request a different size, color, or variation of the prize item.

  • Delivery: The prize will be shipped to the winner's provided address free of charge within 30 days of the prize being claimed. The Promoter is not responsible for any customs fees, duties, import taxes, or shipping delays incurred once the item has been dispatched; these are the sole responsibility of the winner.

6. Winner Selection and Notification

  • Judging Criteria: This is a game of chance. The winner(s) will be selected at random by electronic draw from all valid entries received by the closing date.

  • Draw Date: The draw will take place within 1 day of the monthly closing date.

  • Notification Method: The winner will be notified via email only using the email address used to purchase the "Japan Mail Club" membership. Notification will occur within 1 day of the draw.

  • Bounced Emails / Undeliverable: If the notification email bounces, is returned as undeliverable, or is marked as spam, the Promoter will attempt to contact the winner one additional time via email. If this second attempt also fails, the winner may forfeit their prize, and the Promoter reserves the right to select an alternate winner or re-draw.

  • Claiming the Prize: The winner must respond to claim their prize within 3 months of the notification being sent.

  • Unclaimed Prize: If the winner does not respond to claim their prize within this 3-month period, or if the prize is undeliverable, the Promoter reserves the right to withdraw the prize and either conduct a re-draw to select a new winner or donate the prize to a charitable cause of the Promoter's choosing.
