For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting a Prize, each confirmed winner and their nominated friend agrees to waive all recourse against the Sponsor and all of the other Released Parties if his/her Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part.

11. ELIGIBLE WINNER SELECTION PROCESS:

A panel of judges appointed by the Sponsor will judge each Entry on the basis of: i) impact, ii) uniqueness, iii) appropriateness and iv) quality to assign a score (the “Score”). After each Winner Selection Cut-off, the Entry with the highest total Score will be deemed to be a Prize selected entrant. Odds of your Entry being selected depend on the number and calibre of the Entries prior to the applicable Winner Selection Cut-off. All criteria will be weighed equally. In the event of a tie based on total Score, the Entry with the highest score on appropriateness will be deemed to be the Prize selected entrant.

There will be ten (10) “Winner Selection Cut-offs” during the Contest Period as follows:
1. 11:00am, November 30, 2018
2. 11:00am, December 3, 2018

12. ELIGIBLE WINNER NOTIFICATION PROCESS:

The Sponsor or its designated representative will make a maximum of three (3) attempts to contact each eligible winner (using any means available to the Sponsor) within two (2) business days of the applicable Winner Selection Cut-offs. If an eligible winner cannot be contacted as outlined above, or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable; then he/she may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be disqualified (and, if disqualified, will forfeit all rights to the applicable Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and time permitting, to select an alternate eligible entrant for the applicable Prize based on the next highest Score from among the remaining eligible Entries submitted and received prior to the applicable Winner Selection Cut-off (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such newly selected eligible winner).

13. ELIGIBLE WINNER CONFIRMATION PROCESS:

NO ONE IS A WINNER UNLESS AND UNTIL THE SPONSOR OFFICIALLY CONFIRMS HIM/HER AS A WINNER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE RULES. BEFORE BEING DECLARED A CONFIRMED PRIZE WINNER, each eligible winner will be required to sign and return within five (5) business days of notification the Sponsor’s declaration and release form, which (among other things): (i) confirms compliance with these Rules; (ii) acknowledges acceptance of the applicable Prize (as awarded); (iii) releases the Released Parties from any and all liability in connection with this Contest, his/her participation therein and/or the awarding and use/misuse of the applicable Prize or any portion thereof; (iv) agrees to indemnify the Released Parties against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from use of his/her Entry Materials or any portion(s) thereof; and (v) agrees to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of his/her name, address, voice, statements about the Contest and/or photograph or other likeness without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor in any manner or medium whatsoever, including print, broadcast or the internet. Each winner’s nominated friend will also be required to execute and return the Sponsor’s form of release on the timeline specified by the Sponsor, prior to the selected entrant being confirmed as a winner.

If an eligible winner: (a) fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question; (b) fails to return the properly executed Contest documents within the specified time; (c) cannot accept (or is unwilling to accept) the applicable Prize (as awarded) for any reason; and/or (d) is determined to be in violation of these Rules (all as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion); then he/she will be disqualified (and will forfeit all rights to the applicable Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and time permitting, to select an alternate eligible entrant for the applicable Prize based on the next highest Score from among the remaining eligible Entries submitted and received prior to the applicable Winner Selection Cut-off (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such newly selected eligible winner).
