    The Schedule above and all other entry instructions and prize information published by the Promoter form part of these Terms and Conditions. Each Entrant agrees and acknowledges that they have read these Terms and Conditions (and Schedule) and that entry into the Promotion constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions (and Schedule).

    Entrants under the age of 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to enter the Promotion.
    Entries must be received by the Promoter during the Promotional Period. All entries are deemed to be received at the time of receipt by the Promoter, not the time of transmission by the Entrant. Records of the Promoter and its agencies are final and conclusive as to the time of receipt.
    Entrants may submit entries up to the Maximum Entries. If multiple entries are permitted, each entry must be submitted separately and each answer to the promotional question (if applicable) must be unique.
    Any and all entries that are made using any automated entry means, computer entry service or any other mechanical or electronic means that allows an individual to automatically enter repeatedly are invalid and will be rejected by the Promoter.
    Entry into the Promotion via social media, promotional website or email is free. However, any costs associated with accessing the relevant social media platform, promotional website or email service are the responsibility of each Entrant and dependent on the internet service provider used.

    All entries to the Promotion may be subject to verification by the Promoter. Entrants must, within seven (7) days of being asked and at the Promoter’s cost, allow the Promoter to inspect and copy any documents that the Promoter may request establishing eligibility to enter the Promotion, including but not limited to receipts, evidence of age, residence and identity. The Promoter may decide in its sole discretion which documents are considered suitable for establishing eligibility to enter or win. If a Winner cannot provide suitable proof of eligibility to the Promoter’s satisfaction, they forfeit their Prize in whole and no substitute or compensation will be offered.
    The Promoter may, at its absolute discretion, declare any or all entries made by an Entrant to be invalid if the Entrant: 

    fails to establish their entitlement to win the Promotion to the Promoter’s satisfaction; or
    fails to produce items as required by these Terms and Conditions or produces items that appear to be illegible, stolen, forged, reconstructed, altered, incomplete or tampered with in any way; or
    appears, to the Promoter, to have tampered with, or benefited from tampering with, the entry process; or
    has submitted an entry that is not in accordance with these Terms and Conditions; or
    has, in the opinion of the Promoter, engaged in conduct in entering the Promotion which is fraudulent, misleading, deceptive or generally damaging to the goodwill or reputation of the Promotion or Promoter.

    Entrants warrant that their entry is their own original work, it is not copied in any manner from any other work, and it does not infringe the copyright, moral rights, trade mark rights or any other rights of any third party.
    All entries immediately become and remain the property of the Promoter. The Promoter reserves the right to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of and display the entry material (and authorise others to do the same) for the purposes of conducting and promoting the Promotion, awarding the Prize and advertising and marketing the Promoter or the Promotion and/or future promotions on all media now known or later devised, in perpetuity.
    By entering the Promotion, Entrants consent to any use of their entry by the Promoter which may otherwise infringe an Entrant’s moral rights in the entry material, including (without limitation), exercising any of the rights in the entry material without identifying the Entrant, and using the entry material in any way that the Promoter sees fit, even if it results in derogatory treatment of the entry material (as defined in the Copyright Act1968 (Cth)).
    Each Entrant warrants that:

    they have the full power and capacity to grant the rights, warranties and consents set out in these Terms and Conditions;
    they will fully indemnify the Promoter against any loss or damage suffered by the Promoter:

    if any of the warranties given by the Entrant are false;
    as a result of any breach of clauses 12 and 13 of these Terms and Conditions by the Entrant; and

    they have express consent from each person appearing in the entry material (or if a person appearing in the entry material is under the age of 18 from that person’s parent or legal guardian) and the owner of any private property (including any items, objects or real property) appearing in the entry material.

    Unless expressly stated as being included in the Prize/s, all other costs and expenses associated with taking the Prize/s become the responsibility of Winner/s and their guest/s, including but not limited to:

    The Promoter reserves the right to refuse to allow an Entrant/Winner and/or their guest/s to take part or continue to take part in any aspects of the Promotion or  Prize/s, for any inappropriate behaviour (including intoxication), if the relevant person does not or is not able to comply with any requirements normally associated with the particular activity or if the Promoter determines, based on the advice of an appropriate and relevant medical professional, that the relevant person is not sufficiently healthy or fit so as to safely participate in the Promotion or  Prize/s. 
    Prizes may not, without the prior written consent of the Prize Supplier/s and the Promoter, be resold or offered for resale at a premium (including via online auction sites) or used for advertising, promotion or other commercial purposes (including competitions and trade promotions) or to enhance the demand for other goods or services. If a Prize is sold or used in breach of this condition, the Promoter or the Prize Supplier/s may, at their absolute discretion, withdraw the Prize. Where a Prize has been withdrawn in accordance with this clause, no refund, substitute or compensation will be offered and the Winner and any person who has purchased or otherwise bears that ticket will be refused entry.
