5.1.1 has won a prize; and/or
5.1.2 is required to collect his or her prize from the Promoter within the Time Frame (as defined below).

5.10 Before the Promoter releases a prize to a Winner, at the request of the Promoter, the Winner must sign any and all forms requested by the Promoter, including without limitation forms releasing and indemnifying the Promoter in respect of any liability that may arise in connection with the Competition or the Winner’s acceptance and use of the Prize.
