As part of Lloyds TSB Bank plc’s (the “Bank”, “we”, “us” or “our”) partnership with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are running a number of different campaigns through a number of our group brands.
This campaign offers the public the opportunity to participate in the London 2012 Paralympic Torch Relay (the “Relay”). The Relay is scheduled to take place between 24 August and 28 August 2012. There are 40 slots in the Relay available across the differently branded campaigns set out below.
40 slots (in aggregate) are available through Lloyds TSB and Bank of Scotland branded campaigns.
In addition to this campaign, there may be further opportunities to secure a place in the Relay through other Lloyds Banking Group London 2012 campaigns.
The Specific Terms and Conditions in Parts A to G, together with the General Terms and Conditions at Part H, apply to the Lloyds TSB Carry the Paralympic Flame London 2012 campaign. Members of the public may be nominated or may nominate themselves for a chance to carry the Flame in/participate in one of 40 slots in the Relay directly through us or Bank of Scotland.
“Bank Torchbearer” means a Nominee who has been selected as part of this campaign to participate in the Relay, subject to meeting the criteria set out by “LOCOG”
“LOCOG” means London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Limited, the company responsible for the delivery of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“Nominator” means the person nominating an individual to participate in the Relay.
“Nominee” means the person being nominated.
Making a Nomination or Being Nominated to Carry the Paralympic Flame
Part A. General
1) Participation in the Relay is subject to the Torchbearer meeting the criteria set out by LOCOG. We are not responsible for any unforeseen circumstances or decisions made by LOCOG that may affect torchbearer participation including changes to the Relay route, location, time and date.
2) Nominators and Nominees must be resident in, and have a registered address in, the United Kingdom (including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man). Members of HM Armed Forces based overseas may be a Nominator and/or a Nominee provided an address within the United Kingdom (including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man) is submitted. We suggest this is a close friend or family member’s home address.
3) Nominators can make multiple nominations. Where a Nominee is nominated more than once (whether directly through us or through Bank of Scotland), only the first nomination accepted by the Nominee will be considered for a slot in the Relay.
4) Torchbearers will only be permitted to carry the Paralympic Flame once during the Relay.
5) Nominations can be made from 00.01 hrs on 18 October 2011 to 17.59.59 hrs on 22 November 2011 either by post (as outlined below), by telephone (by calling 0208 4958301) or by going online to www.lloydstsb.com/paralympicflame.

8) Nominators and Nominees under 18 years of age at the time of the nomination will require the consent of their parent or guardian to make or accept the nomination (as applicable) in accordance with our and LOCOG’s requirements. In such circumstances we will ask a Nominee’s parent or guardian for their consent before we include the Nominee in the campaign and before any of the information provided as part of the nomination process (including details of the Entry Question) is published on our Carry the Paralympic Flame website.
9) Nominees must review, edit if appropriate and accept their nomination before it will be entered into the campaign. If an online nomination is not accepted by the Nominee (and if necessary their parent or guardian) by 17.59.59 hrs on 22 November 2011 the nomination will not be entered into the campaign. Where a Nominee accepts their nomination by post (including if necessary their parents’ or guardian’s consent) this must be post marked on or before 22 November 2011 in order to be entered into the campaign.
10) We will not be responsible for any initial nominations and/or accepted nominations which are not received by the closing date.

LOCOG may contact Nominators and Nominees for the purpose of organising the Relay and also use information such as name, image, story and town for its own publicity purposes. By accepting a nomination, Nominees (and if necessary, their parent or guardian) agree to the additional requirements LOCOG has of Torchbearers. These will be notified by LOCOG or us to successful Nominees.

Nominators and Nominees agree that LOCOG, the International Olympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee and selected third parties (including the commercial and media partners of the Relay, the London 2012 Games and future Olympic and Paralympic Games) shall be permitted to use such films, photographs and recordings and their image and likeness for the purpose of promoting and publicising the Relay, the London 2012 Games, future Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Olympic and/or Paralympic movements more generally.
15) After a Nominee accepts their nomination the content of that nomination will be reviewed by us to ensure that it does not contain any offensive, inappropriate or otherwise unsuitable material before being put forward for judging.
