   Prizes

Notwithstanding anything else in these Rules, PositiveMedia has absolute discretion in awarding prizes in a competition.

In order to claim a prize in a competition, the winner must:

(a) be eligible to enter under these General Competition Entry Rules and any Special Competition Rules;

(b) be announced by PositiveMedia as the winner of that prize on air or any other means determined by PositiveMedia;

(c) not be prohibited by any rule of law from using or otherwise enjoying the prize for which he or she has been announced as the winner;

(d) demonstrate to PositiveMedia’s satisfaction that he or she is the winner of the prize, and, if necessary, prove that he or she is not prohibited from using or otherwise enjoying the prize (for example, by producing photo-identification, such as a driver’s licence or passport, or signing a declaration to that effect); and

(e) comply with any request made by PositiveMedia under the General Competition Entry Rules or any Special Competition Rules that apply to that competition; and

(f) be only one (1) qualifier or winner per family per competition unless otherwise stipulated.

Where the winner of a prize is below the lawful age to use or otherwise enjoy the relevant prize, PositiveMedia may, in its absolute discretion, award the prize to the winner’s lawful parent or guardian or require the parent or guardian to sign an indemnity and consent for the winner to receive or participate in the prize.

Prizes will only be awarded following winner validation and verification.

Should a prize winner choose not to accept the prize allocated by PositiveMedia, the prize will not be substituted with another prize.

All prize items are valued inclusive of GST and PositiveMedia takes no responsibility for any variation in item values. Any taxes which may be payable as a consequence of a winner receiving the prize are the sole responsibility of that winner.

Prizes are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash. If the specified prize becomes unavailable, PositiveMedia may substitute a prize of like or equal value.

Unless otherwise specified, the class of travel for any travel prize incorporating an airfare is economy class.

No prohibited prizes will be awarded.

Winners will be notified on-air, by mail, telephone, email or by any other contact details provided by the winner.

Prizes are to be collected from PositiveMedia studios and offices at 333 Mitcham Road, Mitcham, Victoria 3132, and proper identification must be produced.

Winners under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and both must produce proper identification. If prizes are sent by post, they are generally sent via Australia Post or private courier.

Any loss of prizes by a courier company or Australia Post is not the responsibility of PositiveMedia. In that event, PositiveMedia may or may not, in its discretion, replace the prize.

Upon request by PositiveMedia a copy of the General Competition Entry Rules and/or a signed receipt and acknowledgment must be signed and endorsed by any winner to indicate his/her understanding and acceptance of these terms. All unclaimed prizes after ninety days (90) days of being won will be forfeited, and a redraw may take place, all at PositiveMedia’s discretion.

In the event a winner chooses not to accept a prize, they forfeit any and all claims to the prize which can then be awarded to a competition runner up at the time at the discretion of PositiveMedia.

Acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for the Promoter to use winner’s first name, suburb of residence, recording of winner’s voice, photos and likeness and filming for advertising and promotional purposes by the Promoter for broadcast by radio and for use online without compensation, unless otherwise prohibited by law. The winners name will NOT be used or listed in any other form of media without the explicit and written permission of the winner.

The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
