An "Eligible Entrant" is an individual who: (i) is a resident of Australia aged 13 years or older as at the time of entry; and (ii) is not an employee of the Promoter or any of its related corporations or any of their agencies associated with the Competition; and (iii) is not a spouse, defacto spouse, parent, child or sibling (whether full, half, step or by adoption) of such an employee. An Eligible Entrant who is under 18 years of age, must obtain the permission of a parent or guardian to enter.
Competition entry opens at 9am on 29/9/14 and closes at 5pm on 10/11/14 ("Entry Period"). All times and dates are times and dates in Sydney which may be AEST or AEDT depending on the date.
ENTRY
To enter, an Eligible Entrant must, during the Entry Period, first make a Qualifying Purchase from a Woolworths or Safeway supermarket anywhere in Australia, or at
www.woolworthsonline.com.au. A Qualifying Purchase is the purchase, in one transaction, of any two, or more, Qualifying Products (2 of the same product, or any combination). Each OPTIMUM dog food product and each OPTIMUM DRY cat food product is a Qualifying Product.
Subject to the other conditions, an Eligible Entrant may enter the Competition once for every Qualifying Purchase that they make during the Entry Period. IMPORTANT: If more than two Qualifying Products are purchased in the same transaction, there is still only ONE Qualifying Purchase. Accordingly only ONE entry may be submitted based on that Qualifying Purchase transaction.
Entry can only be made by internet. To submit an entry, an entrant must, during the Entry Period, use a compatible browser to visit
www.optimumpet.com.au ("Competition Website") and follow the directions there. For each entry, the entrant must provide: (a) the last 4 digits of the bar codes on the two Qualifying Products being used to enter; (b) if the Qualifying purchase was made in-store, the number of the Woolworths/Safeway receipt that was issued when those Qualifying Products were purchased, or if the Qualifying purchase was made at
www.woolworthsonline.com.au, the order number that was issued when those Qualifying Products were purchased; and (c) all other details required at the Competition Website, including first and last names, postal address and e-mail address.
All entrants must ensure that their entries are received by the Promoter during the Entry Period. The Promoter takes no responsibility for any late or misdirected entry or for any delays or failures in any telecommunications service or equipment.
For each and every Qualifying Purchase that an Eligible Entrant uses to submit an entry, he/she MUST retain: (i) the original packaging of the Qualifying Products comprising the Qualifying Purchase and; (ii) if the Qualifying purchase was made in-store, a copy of the Woolworths/Safeway receipt that was issued when that Qualifying Purchase was made.
All entries to the Competition may be subject to verification by the Promoter. The Promoter will reimburse an entrant for any reasonable costs incurred in complying with this condition.
An entrant MUST, within 7 days of being asked, deliver to the Promoter (by a means determined by the Promoter) all of the items which condition 9 requires the entrant to retain and which are requested by the Promoter. The Promoter may elect not to return those items.
An entrant MUST also deliver to the Promoter (by a means determined by the Promoter) copies of any other documents the Promoter may request establishing eligibility to enter or win, including evidence of age, residence or identity. The Promoter may make one or more requests for such documents. Once the identity of documents available is established, an entrant must deliver requested copies within 7 days of being asked to do so. At the Promoter's request, an entrant MUST also, within 7 days of being asked, allow the Promoter to inspect and copy the original of any such document.
The Promoter may, at its absolute discretion, declare any or all entries made by an entrant invalid if the entrant: (i) fails to establish their entitlement to enter the Competition to the Promoter's reasonable satisfaction; or (ii) fails to produce items as required by condition 9 or produces items that, in the Promoter's reasonable opinion, are illegible, stolen, forged, reconstructed, altered, incomplete or tampered with in any way; or (iii) in the Promoter's reasonable opinion, tampers with the entry process or benefits from such tampering; or (iv) in the Promoter's reasonable opinion, submits an entry which is not in accordance with these conditions.
An entry by more than one person (ie a joint entry) is invalid.
INTERNET ENTRIES
Any costs associated with accessing the Competition Website are the responsibility of the person seeking access and are dependent on the internet service provider used.
Eligible Entrants must make their internet entries manually using an internet browser. The Promoter may reject internet entries if it reasonably forms the opinion that they have been entered using automated entry means or by use of a competition entry service.

The Eligible Entrant who submits the first valid entry that is received by the Promoter at, or after, the Time will, subject to condition 16(ii), win the Instant Win Prize allocated to that Time.
A valid entry will be disregarded for the purposes of allocating the Prize for the Time if that entry has previously been allocated a Prize for another Time.
