By entering a competition entrants accept these terms and conditions together with any specific instructions and terms for such competition which may be mentioned in any electronic messages, or on the website, or communicated to entrants in any other way (“competition information”). Such competition information shall prevail in the event of there being any inconsistency between these competition terms and conditions and any competition information.
3. Infopro Digital may cancel or amend any competition, competition information, or these terms and conditions without prior notice. Any changes will be posted either within the competition information or these terms and conditions.

Employees and members of their immediate families (including any live-in partner or household member) of any of the following may not enter:
(a) Companies sharing common directors with Infopro Digital;
(b) Any company involved in the organisation, management, promotion, or administration of the competition or its entry routes or donation of prizes or their agents or subsidiaries;
(c) Any company involved in any capacity in the sponsorship of a competition or competition prize.

6. By entering the competition entrants warrant that all information submitted by them is true, current, and complete. Entrants also warrant that they are the copyright owners of any copyright works submitted, e.g. photographs and drawings, and Infopro Digital’s use of such works (which you will permit) will not infringe the rights of any third party.
7. Entries submitted through agents or third parties or in bulk (i.e. more entries than a human being could submit in the time available without the use of software or other devices designed to make automated entries or, in the case of postal entries, more than one entry submitted under the same postage stamp) will not be accepted. Entrants may enter as many times as they like unless otherwise indicated in the competition information but no more than one prize per person per competition will be awarded.
8. Any entries which are incomplete, incorrect, inaudible, incomprehensible, or not received by Infopro Digital will be void.

In the event of any fault, mistake, misunderstanding or dispute concerning the correctness or acceptability of the entry or any answers given by entrants (if applicable), or the operation of any part of the competition (in the case of postal entries, a postal strike for example), network or phone system, the decision of Infopro Digital shall be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
10. Infopro Digital will not be liable to reimburse expenses incurred in making an entry in any competition. Where Infopro Digital decides in its sole discretion that an entrant is eligible for a refund, eligibility for refunds will be notified to relevant entrants. Infopro Digital reserves the right to refuse to refund any messages where it suspects dishonest or fraudulent conduct on the sender’s part or where the entrant has not complied with the rules of the competition.
Prizes

15. Should more prizes be claimed than are available for any reason, a simple prize draw will take place for the available prize(s).
16. Infopro Digital may in its sole discretion refuse to provide a prize, or seek its recovery, in the event of non-entitlement under these terms or an entrant’s breach of these terms, Infopro Digital’s website terms of use, fraud, dishonesty, or other inappropriate or improper conduct including but not limited to the use of technology which enables an entrant to evade charges or entry requirements.
17. Any entrant who enters or attempts to enter the Competition in a manner, which in Infopro Digital’s determination is contrary to these terms and conditions or by its nature is unfair to other entrants may be removed from the Competition at Infopro Digital’s sole discretion.
18. Infopro Digital reserves the right to modify, cancel, terminate or suspend the Competition in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, if it believes the Competition is not capable of being conducted as specified in these terms and conditions or in the event of a virus, computer bug or unauthorised human intervention or any other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of Infopro Digital that could corrupt or affect the administration, security, impartiality, or normal course of the Competition.
19. Infopro Digital reserves the right in its sole discretion to withhold delivery of the prize until such proof of eligibility and identity has been confirmed or if such proof is not produced on request or to disqualify the entrant from the competition.
