“COUNTDOWN2CASH” PROMOTION
HOW TO ENTER
I. To be eligible to enter, eligible individuals must visit
www.countdown2cash.com.au (Australian residents) or
www.countdown2cash.co.nz (New Zealand residents) and follow the prompts to the promotional registration page, input the requested details (including a valid email address) and submit the fully completed registration form by 11:59pm AEDST on 30/06/12. No entries will be awarded for the registration alone. Rather, the individual will become eligible to receive an entry by following the steps outlined below.
II. Once an entrant has completed the above steps and registered, they will receive an email from the Promoter each day of the promotional period offering them an opportunity to receive an entry (“Email entry”), including on the day that they register (which will also serve to confirm their registration). In order to claim the Email Entry (and confirm their registration on the first day they register), the entrant must follow the prompts in the email to visit the promotional website and input the requested details (including details of their email entry code) on the same day that they receive the relevant email. Entrants are eligible to receive one (1) Email Entry into the next subsequent prize draw for each day of the promotional period, from and including the date of registration.
III. Once an entrant has completed step II above and provided their daily email entry code, the Promoter may also offer the entrant further bonus entries if they follow the prompts to refer eligible friends and family to enter this promotion. Entrants will be eligible to receive one (1) referral bonus entry (“Referral Entry”) into the next subsequent prize draw each day of the promotional period, provided that they refer at least one (1) friend/family member each day of the promotional period (by providing their friend’s/family member’s name and valid email address). For the sake of clarity, Referral Entries are subject to the following conditions: (a) entrants will only be given the opportunity to refer friends/family members if they have completed step II above; (b) there is a strict limit of one (1) Referral Entry per person per day, regardless of the number of friends referred on that day; and (c) each friend/family member can only be referred by an entrant once.
Entrants should only nominate friends, family, colleagues and other individuals who they have a direct relationship with, and who consent to receiving these types of messages. Entrants can only nominate/refer the promotion to Australian and New Zealand residents aged 18 years or over.
IV. The Promoter reserves the right to offer additional opportunities for entrants to receive bonus entries. Any such opportunities (and the relevant conditions and limitations) will either be announced via email to entrants and/or on
www.countdown2cash.com.au (for Australian residents) or
www.countdown2cash.co.nz (for New Zealand residents).
