Refunds & cancellations

Refunds and Cancellations

This page explains how Lexera handles payment-related requests for paid entries, duplicate charges, and cancellation scenarios in the UK.

The page is for users aged 18 or over and is written for our skill-based prize competition model.

What we cover

Refunds and cancellations policy

Use this page to understand where refunds can be requested, how entries are reviewed, and what information helps a claim be processed accurately.

Failed payment

The entry did not receive a confirmed paid status in our records. We review these requests as priority items.

Duplicate payment

More than one payment appears to be linked to the same entry path. We investigate whether one of them was unintended.

Suspected unauthorised payment

If a user reports an unfamiliar transaction, we support investigation and may request additional account verification evidence.

Technical error

Entry interruptions or payment flow failures may be reviewed where logs and payment references support the claim.

Incorrect charge

If billing does not match expected amounts for the selected competition entry route, we investigate manually.

Cancelled or materially changed competition

If competition terms or availability change significantly, we review possible remedies, including entry cancellation options.

Prize claim issue

Prize claim follow-up questions are processed through the support pathway and, where relevant, the claims team.

General dissatisfaction after valid entry

A completed paid entry may have limited grounds for cancellation, subject to the applicable published terms and legal rights.

Confirmed entries

When refunds are generally not expected

Paid entries that are already confirmed for a competition and whose participation has been accepted may become non-refundable after confirmation. Exceptions can still apply in certain circumstances and where applicable legal rights allow.

This may include duplicate payment investigation, competition status changes, and support-led cancellation where the case is valid under our documented process.

What to include

Information to provide

  • Email used on your Lexera account
  • Competition name
  • Order/payment/reference details, if available
  • Date and time of payment
  • Description of the issue

Free postal entry is a no-payment competition entry route where payments are not usually required for entry itself.

Chargebacks and disputes

Bank or processor disputes

If a bank or payment-process chargeback is raised, Lexera may need to coordinate with card or processor channels to verify the transaction. Abuse, repetitive unsubstantiated claims, or fabricated evidence may lead to account restrictions.

This page does not remove any rights you may have under applicable law.
