Ecigclick Awards 2022 Voting Terms and Conditions:
Live Polls
Votes this year will only be visible after the awards are closed. We will do a final check to ensure we are happy all is above board prior to the big reveal.
Your vote will not be counted until you confirm via email. Once you have clicked ‘confirm’ your vote has been placed.
One vote per person – Any attempt to vote numerous times will result in ALL votes being removed. We have various ways to check. And we do check. Don’t waste your time and more importantly don’t waste ours.
Don’t buy votes. It’s easy to tell and we will just remove them all.
No prizes/vouchers/discounts/incentives for votes.
If you are a company/FB page etc and want to offer an incentive then you can use the official Ecigclick Awards giveaway, which is pretty amazing by the way. Nothing else. Any nominee found offering incentives of any kind in exchange for votes will be removed without notice or will have all votes nulled at the end of the polls.
You do not have to vote in all categories.
Any personal details you divulge when entering your vote will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not add your email to any lists.
You can sign up to to the Ecigclick newsletter via the form above. We will update on all stages of the awards via our email list and social channels.
Voting is available between the dates given on this website. Although we reserve the right to change these dates at any time.
Ecigclick reserves the right to disqualify votes if it has reasonable grounds to suspect that fraudulent, excessive or suspicious patterns of voting have occurred, or if it considers there has been any attempt to unfairly influence the voting, or promote, or not discourage fraudulent voting.
This may include for example, votes from spambots, programmes designed to specifically vote continuously for one project, or from devices where it is evident that cookies have intentionally been disabled or other attempts have been made to try to vote in a way that is not in line with these terms & conditions. Plus paid services for voting.
These are surprisingly easy to spot so please don’t waste your money on these ‘services’.
Participants are required to encourage their supporters to vote in the way specified by these terms & conditions.
The outcome of the vote or poll will be revealed by Ecigclick on social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) within 2 weeks of the vote or poll having finished. The result will also officially be announced by email newsletter.
In the event of any fault, mistake, misunderstanding or dispute concerning the outcome of a vote or poll, or the operation of any part of the web based voting system, the decision of Ecigclick shall be final.
Once the votes have been counted, the decision of Ecigclick is final.
Above all, the awards are supposed to be a fun event! So play nicely.
If you notice more than 10 results in any category. This is down to some results having the same number of nominations.
What is the process we go through before final poll results are announced?
Stage 1. Vote check – We would like nothing more than to set up the awards and just let them run organically. Unfortunately, with the nature of online voting, there are a minority that will always attempt to game the system.
The vast majority of voters are amazing and keep within the spirit of the Ecigclick Awards, we thank you for that.
Fortunately we can run checks to flag these type of votes and we do. Nobody takes these awards more seriously than us.
Unfortunately it means digging through a lot of data, in every category. Something we do every year.
But.. That’s the only option we currently have to keep things fair. We have a number of checks we can do to ensure that any untoward votes are removed. This does, however, take time.
We will also do this periodically throughout the awards and in full at the end.
Stage 2. Final Awards Announcement – As it says on the tin. Once the above is complete the awards are announced. Due to the above this can take between 7-14 days.
