20.For Australian residents: The Promoter only accepts entries on the basis that, even if the entrant is registered for GST, no entry will be submitted by the entrant in the course of or in furtherance of the entrant’s own business or enterprise. The Promoter will not add to any prize an amount representing a GST component on that prize when the prize is paid to a winner. The entrant hereby acknowledges that he/she shall not be entitled to any further payment of any sum from the Promoter over and above any prize paid to the entrant pursuant to these Terms and hereby indemnifies the Promoter in respect of any taxes, penalties or other costs which the Promoter may incur or suffer arising out of or in connection with any audit conducted by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) in which the ATO determines that GST was payable on a prize paid to the entrant. This section 20 does not limit the indemnity set out in section 30 below.
21.For New Zealand residents: If the entrant is a New Zealand resident and is entitled to a prize pursuant to these Terms, such winner acknowledges that any such prize shall be paid in Australian Dollars and that the value of the prize ultimately received by the winner will be subject to the currency exchange rates applied by the relevant bank at the time of processing payment to the winner (or as determined by the bank) as well as any international transaction fees or expenses and taxes which may be applied. The Promoter does not guarantee that the winner will receive any particular monetary value in respect of any prize.
22.A winner will only be paid the prize provided that:
•there has been no breach of these Terms by the winner or in relation to the winning entry; and
•if required by the Promoter, the winner has signed any legally binding agreement/s and/or documents between the winner and the Promoter consistent with these Terms (without prejudice to section 34 below). Any such legally binding agreement and/or documents will be in the form provided by the Promoter in its complete discretion.

No compensation shall be payable to any entrant who is chosen as a winner but who is not awarded the prize by reason of this section 22. Further, in the event the entrant breaches these Terms, or the Promoter only becomes aware of such breaches, after any prize has been awarded to the entrant, the Promoter reserves the right to require the entrant to repay and/or reimburse the prize money back to the Promoter and the entrant must do so within seven (7) days of the Promoter’s request.
23.The prize is not transferable or exchangeable and will be paid to the winner by direct deposit into a bank account nominated by the winner.

Any decision made by the Promoter under this section is final and not subject to review.
24.The entrant hereby grants to the Promoter an exclusive royalty-free licence of all rights including, without limitation, copyright in and to any and all entries (including as may be deemed invalid in accordance with these Terms) for the full duration of such rights throughout the world in any and all media. The entrant hereby acknowledges and agrees that this section 24 applies to all entries submitted by the entrant, whether or not the entrant or any of the entries becomes a winner.
25.The Promoter (and its assigns and licensees) has the right (without payment to the entrant) to make unfettered use of any of the entries, and to publish the name and image of any winner, in connection with the Competition and for any promotion, marketing or publicity of the Promoter generally in any and all media worldwide, provided that the Promoter will not hold the entrant out as endorsing any product or service. The entrant hereby gives all necessary consents as may be required to enable the Promoter to exercise the rights herein.
26.The entrant agrees that if there are vested in the entrant any moral rights in any entries, the entrant unconditionally and irrevocably waives in perpetuity his/her moral rights or otherwise grants his/her consent to the Promoter doing or omitting to do any act which would otherwise infringe the entrant’s moral rights under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) (or analogous laws in other jurisdictions) in relation to the any and all entries, and the entrant will not make any claim in respect of any such action by the Promoter.

The Promoter is entitled, in relation to such reproductions, to add a ‘top and tail’ to any entry (that is, to include a screen image or short animation promoting the Competition before and after the video clip itself). Entries may remain on any one or more of the Promoter’s social media account indefinitely. Any entry which is not published on any social media accounts shall not be deemed invalid by this reason only and shall (subject to any other section of these Terms) participate in the Competition.
28.If this Competition is affected by error, delayed, interrupted or is otherwise not capable of being conducted as anticipated due to any reason, including if the Promoter chooses to discontinue the Competition at its absolute discretion, the Promoter reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) to disqualify any entrant; or (b) to modify, suspend, terminate or cancel the Competition, as appropriate.
