TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PARTICIPATION
Information on how to enter the Countrywide Café of the Year 2019 Promotion (Promotion) and the prizes form part of these Terms and Conditions. By participating, Entrants (as defined below) agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Entry is only open to Australian cafés. In this promotion, a ‘café’ is defined as being an establishment that serves coffee (both takeaway and eat-in) and other hot and cold beverages along with breakfast, lunch and other snack food items (Entrants), excluding cafés that are part of 50 or more outlets within a franchise group or chain, as well as pubs, clubs, RSLs, sporting clubs, service stations and roadhouses. Employees (and their immediate families) of Countrywide Australasia Limited (ABN: 34 068 162 676) of Level 1, 87 Marsden Street, Parramatta NSW 2150 (Promoter), Countrywide Food Service Distributors and agencies associated with this promotion are ineligible to enter. The Promoter may in its absolute discretion determine whether a café is eligible to participate in the Promotion (i.e. meets the definition of a café as determined by the Promoter).
Tip Top Foodservice, McCain Foods, Primo Smallgoods Smallgoods and Anchor Food Professionals sponsor this Promotion but take no part in organising or conducting this Promotion, or allocating the Prizes. Entrants acknowledge that Countrywide Food Service Distributors is the Promoter and is a separate entity to these Supplier sponsors. The Promoter is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any sponsors of the Promotion.
ENTRY
Entry commences at 9:00am AEDST on 11 February 2019 and entries close at 5:00pm AEDST on 5 April 2019 (Promotional Period). All times and dates throughout these Terms and Conditions are based on Sydney, Australia local time.
To enter the Promotion, Entrant or authorised representatives aged 18 years or over (on behalf of Entrants) must, during the Promotional Period undertake the following steps:
purchase a minimum of $150 of goods from a Countrywide distributor between 1 February 2019 & 5 April 2019 and obtain an invoice of this order.;
visit
www.cwcaféoftheyear.com.au; follow the prompts to the registration component of the website; and
provide all requested information to enter, including a copy of the invoice recording the minimum $150 purchase of goods, within specified date range from a Countrywide Distributor
Limit of one (1) entry per café location. Each café entry location must register separately and participate by itself (i.e. purchase the required goods and register and participate separately). Each registered café only represents itself and no other café locations. The café may only promote itself as part of the Promotion. Cafés that try to cross promote each other, which are discovered by the Promoter, will be invalidated.
Only registered cafés are able to display promotional materials. If the café or any other third party has breached this requirement, as reasonably determined by the Promoter, then that café will be invalidated.
No café may offer a prize, discount or any other inducement/benefit to gain votes. If the Promoter discovers this has occurred, then the Promoter may invalidate the café from the Promotion in its absolute discretion.
All advertising used or obtained to promote the Entrant in the Promotion, must reference Countrywide Food Service Distributors in the main body copy of the advertising, or verbally announced if captured on video or audio media as reasonably determined by the Promoter in its absolute discretion.
All individuals acknowledge and understand the Promotion does not include all Australian cafés. Accordingly, being a winner (national or regional) of the Promotion does not mean that a given café is indeed the best café (in all or a region) of Australia.
Entrants must retain a copy of their original invoice as proof of purchase. Entrants must upon request provide a copy of their original invoice to the Promoter. Failure to present the proof of purchase upon request may result in the Entrants disqualification from the Promotion.
All entries must be received by the Promoter during the Promotional Period. Entries received before the start of the Promotional Period or after the close of the Promotional Period will be deemed invalid and will not be eligible to win any prize. Records of the Promoter are final and conclusive as to time of receipt. Incomplete, illegible or indecipherable entries will be deemed invalid.
The Promoter reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of entries and Entrants (including an Entrant’s identity, and place of residence and proof of purchase i.e. a copy of the receipt) and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any Entrant who the Promoter has reason to believe has breached any of these Terms and Conditions, tampered with the entry process or engaged in any unlawful or other improper misconduct calculated to jeopardise fair and proper conduct of the promotion. Errors and omissions may be accepted at the Promoter's discretion. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. The Promoter's legal rights to recover damages or other compensation from such an offender are reserved.
If there is a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant, the Promoter reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the identity of the Entrant.
PRIZES AND DETERMINATION OF WINNERS

The Entrant must then upload the post to their Business Facebook or Instagram account with the tag @cwcaféoftheyear and hashtag #cwcaféoftheyear so that it can be accessed by the Promoter during a round as setout below.

The Promoter accepts no responsibility for, late, lost, expired vouchers or vouchers that have been tampered with in anyway. The redemption of the vouchers are subject to standard terms and conditions.

The regions are as follows: NSW/ACT; VIC/TAS; SA/NT; WA & QLD. For clarity, the major prize winner will not be eligible for a regional prize.

The major and regional prizes will paid out by way of a payment to the winning Entrants’ business bank account.
The winners of the minor prizes will be notified in writing by email. All Countrywide vouchers will be mailed out to the winning recipient by the Countrywide Food Service Distributors head office.
