に限りLimited to (formal eligibility)
に限り formally restricts a benefit, permission, price, rule, or availability to the named group, date, product, or condition. It is especially common in notices, promotions, and public rules.
How the restriction works
The noun before に限り defines the eligible class. The rest of the sentence then states exactly what benefit, permission, exception, or rule applies only to that class. Because the expression sounds official, it works best when the restriction and its result are both explicit.
