Consumers have to be over 18 years of age at the point they purchase the handset.

As soon as you have received your new Sony Xperia handset and have the IMEI number along with valid paperwork, you can claim your free Sony gift.

Note that each offer has a closing date for purchases and a closing date for claims. Please ensure to claim within the dates shown otherwise we will not be able to fulfil your gift.

As long as you have purchased your device within the promotional dates outlined in the T&Cs, then there is nothing to worry about. Once you receive your new Sony Xperia handset and have the IMEI and proof of purchase, submit a claim.

If the device is on back-order and you receive it after the promotional closing date, then please contact us and we will review as an exception.

During the claim process, you'll be asked to upload a digital copy of your entire order confirmation or store receipt. How you do this depends on the type of proof of purchase you want to upload and the device you're using to make your claim.

Note that proof of purchase must have the following information clearly visible:

• Product purchased
• Retailer name or logo
• Purchase date

If you made your purchase online or via a call centre, then your order confirmation will have been sent to you by email. Simply screenshot this and upload.

Alternatively, you can save the entire email as a PDF. You can usually do this by selecting Print then Save as PDF. You can then upload the PDF file to your claim.

If you purchased in-store, then you’ll need to upload a copy of the physical receipt by taking a picture using your mobile phone or tablet and upload the image straight from your picture library.

To upload your order confirmation or store receipt, click Upload then simply find and select the image or PDF file you'd like to upload. You can select more than one document if you like. Note if you’ve uploaded the wrong file, you can simply click on the x button on the thumbnail to remove it and re-upload a new file.

The website will accept the following file types, up to 20mb per file, JPG, PNG and PDF files. You can upload up to 5 files on your claim.

If there is an issue with the information you have supplied on your claim we will email you and let you know and also provide you with details on how to rectify this (please keep an eye on junk folders and spam filters).

• IMEI number incorrect – this is a 15-digit number unique to every handset. We may ask you to resubmit if this doesn’t match our records.
• Paperwork incomplete – the image you have uploaded of your paperwork is illegible or does not show the whole receipt. Please re-copy your receipt and reply to the email with the new receipt image, making sure the whole receipt is legible and complete.
• Date or model missing – please make sure the receipt paperwork you have selected to upload contains the date of purchase and the Xperia model purchased, it is not, for instance, an advice note that your handset is due to be delivered on a given date, or the box etc. You will need to re-claim with correct, valid paperwork as above.
• Name / Address not a match – the consumer whose name and address are on the receipt is the only person entitled to claim and claim the free gift, so they will need to claim in their own name, otherwise the claim is invalid.

Any information needs to be received before the close date.

If your claim has been rejected as being invalid it is likely to be for one of the following reasons:

• Purchase outside offer dates
• Handset already claimed on
• Handset not from qualifying retailer
• Qualifying handset not purchased
• Handset returned according to the retailer / manufacturer
• You have already claimed a valid claim and the offer is limited to strictly one per person.

If you believe this to be incorrect, please contact us and we will look into this for you.

If your paperwork and IMEI number are valid for the offer, you will receive an email usually within 21 - 45 working days (depending on retailer) of claim letting you know. Your gift will be dispatched within 28 - 45 working days (depending on retailer) of a valid claim.
