The prize(s) are subject to their prevailing terms and conditions as advised by the Promoter and/or any applicable prize supplier.
Subject to the unclaimed-prize clause, if for any reason any winner does not take and/or participate in the prize (or any part of it) at or by the time stipulated by the Promoter, then the prize (or that component) will be forfeited.
All costs not expressly stated, but which may be incurred in accepting or participating in the prize(s), are the responsibility of the winner(s).
If the prize(s) include voucher(s) or card(s), any ancillary costs associated with redeeming them are not included unless expressly stated. Unused balances will not be awarded as cash. Redemption is subject to issuer terms and conditions, including expiry dates.
