This may involve tagging nominees, commenting on the post, sharing the post, inviting friends or any or all of those actions, as detailed in the post.

Prizes are non-negotiable, non-transferable, non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for any cash alternatives in whole or in part. Unless otherwise stated, any expenses incurred by the winner in the general use and/or enjoyment of the prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner.

​

7. The winner of each prize draw will be drawn from all eligible entries received by the Closing Date at random by an electronic randomiser that produces random results which can be verified.

The winner will have forty-eight (48) hours to respond to the direct message to claim their prize. If the winner does not respond within that period, then the Promoter reserves the right to withdraw that winner’s prize, redraw and select a new winner. Once the direct message has been responded to, the winner will be contacted to arrange the method and date/time for receiving their prize.

 

9. The Promoter cannot accept responsibility for any direct messages that do not reach the intended recipients for any reason whatsoever.          The Promoter further accepts no responsibility or liability for technical issues or any problems entrants may have in entering the prize draw, or for entries which are unsuccessful, incomplete, lost, delayed, damaged, corrupted, misdirected or not received by the Closing Date.
