Terms & Conditions
Information on how to enter the Yates Best Vegie Patch & Best Lawn Competition and prizes form part of these Terms and Conditions. Participation in this competition is deemed acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

Return of the prize or payment of its equivalent value to the Promoter may be required by the Promoter if this occurs.
Each entrant is responsible for ensuring his or her familiarity with these Terms and Conditions at the time of participation. The Promoter’s decision not to enforce a specific restriction (whether communicated to an entrant or not) does not constitute a waiver of that restriction or of these Terms and Conditions generally.
Incomplete and indecipherable entries and any entry which has incorrectly entered personal information or contact details shall be deemed an invalid entry. No responsibility is accepted by the Promoter for late, lost, misdirected, ineligible or illegible/inaudible entries (including lost, stolen, forged, defaced or damaged proof of entry or things required by the Verification Requirements).
