Before participating in the Gift Giveaway Promotion, each HM Customer Representative shall (where applicable) be responsible for ensuring that they have their employer’s actual and unconditional permission to participate in the Gift Giveaway Promotion. HM Customer Representatives shall ensure that participation in the Gift Giveaway Promotion does not in any way compromise their duties to act in the best interest of their employer.

The following entries / personnel are excluded from the Gift Giveaway Promotion and shall be invalid and ineligible:

  • entries from any HM Customer Representative where the relevant Heidelberg Materials customer (on behalf of whom the HM Customer Representative is acting) has more than an aggregate total of 1,000 employees as at the start of the Promotional Period; and
  • entries from any HM Customer Representative where the Heidelberg Materials customer (on behalf of whom the HM Customer Representative is acting) receives bulk cement from Heidelberg Materials by an ordering mechanism other than by actively placing orders via the Hub Portal (e.g. customers with silo management systems / remote monitoring / ordering etc.); and

How to Qualify

To qualify for a free gift (details of which are set out below) as part of the Gift Giveaway Promotion, each HM Customer Representative must, during the Promotional Period (as stipulated below), access the Hub Portal and actively place at least one (1) genuine order (which is not subsequently cancelled) for bulk cement via the Hub Portal.

By completing the above steps, a HM Customer Representative will automatically qualify for a free gift. The value of the gift shall be determined by the total aggregate number of bulk cement orders placed by a HM Customer Representative during the Promotional Period, as follows:
Where the total aggregate number of bulk cement orders placed by a HM Customer Representative during the Promotional Period (as calculated and determined by the Promoter):

  • is between one (1) and twelve (12) (inclusive), the eligible HM Customer Representative who has placed such order(s) shall be entitled to a £25 Voucher (as stipulated below); and
  • is more than twelve (12), the eligible HM Customer Representative who has placed such order(s) shall be entitled to a £50 Voucher (as stipulated below).

For the avoidance of doubt, any bulk cement order(s) placed by a HM Customer Representative which is/are subsequently cancelled, shall not be taken into account when calculating the total number of bulk cement orders, as above.

Within ten (10) days of the end of the Promotional Period, the Promoter shall calculate the total number of genuine bulk cement orders placed by a HM Customer Representative during the Promotional Period and shall communicate this to the relevant HM Customer Representative by telephone or via the Hub Portal.
