Winning the Prize
13. Only the person who originally entered the Promotion can be awarded the prize (‘the Winner’).
14. The Winner will be determined in the manner set out in the Rules or the Specific Rules – if not
specified then as determined by the Promoter who shall for this purpose be deemed the Judge.
15. The Judge’s determination of the Winner will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
16. The Winner will be notified by email, phone (voice or text), social media notification (by way of private
message, tagging or commenting on a post or image), posted mail or in person and must be available for the
preparation of all publicity that may be required by MediaWorks. Where attempts to contact the Winner fail
(eg when the Winner cannot be contacted by phone after three attempts; or mail sent is returned; or when
the Winner fails to respond to social media notification within 48 hours) the Judge will select another winner.
For social media promotions, the Judge will select a maximum of 3 winners. If the prize is not claimed 48
hours after the third winner is notified, the prize will be regarded as forfeit and will not be redrawn. For all
promotions, if after successful notification, the prize is not collected within two months of being announced it
will be regarded as forfeit. (Note: 3 attempts to contact the Winner will include individual calls to any numbers
provided at the time of entry. However, should the prize’s total worth equal less than NZD$250 and be a liveto-air
draw, only one failed attempt at contact will be acceptable before the Judge selects another winner.)
17. The prize is not redeemable for cash or transferable, unless the contestant wishes to transfer the prize
to a charity of their choice. No other family members, friends, office associates or any other person will be
able to participate on the Winner’s behalf. In the event that the prize specified in the Competition becomes
unavailable for any reason the Promoter may substitute a prize of like or equal value.
18. Where the Winner is required to claim the prize in person, they must provide proper identification (eg
driver’s licence, passport, birth certificate). If the Winner is under the age of 18 years their parent or legal
guardian must accompany the Winner or give their prior written consent to the award of the prize.
19. The Winner takes the prize entirely at his/her own risk and indemnifies MediaWorks in respect of any
claim for any accident, injury, property damage or loss of life that may occur in connection with the prize. The
Winner is responsible for all insurance, tax or other costs that may be associated with the prize.
20. Where the prize includes air travel and/or accommodation, either international or domestic (“the
Travel Prize”):
a) the Winner MUST have valid documentation, including but not limited to valid passports and Visas, which
meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities at every destination.
b) Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the
requirements of those authorities (including any costs associated with delay), will be the sole responsibility of
the Winner.
c) When the Travel Prize includes travel to or through the United States, it is the Winner’s responsibility when
travelling into or through (transiting included) the United States under the Visa Waiver Program to apply for an
Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) no later than 72 hours prior to departure if required. The
winner must visit the US Department of Homeland Security website and fill in the required information. The
cost of the ESTA is the sole responsibility of the Winner.
d) The Winner and their travelling companion (if applicable) must travel together at all times. The Winner is
responsible for transport from their residence to their nearest international airport for flight departure and
from their nearest international airport to their residence upon returning to New Zealand.
e) Flight tickets are available on the regular scheduled services of each airline and are subject to seasonal
embargos. The flight itinerary may have to be adjusted depending on the airline's departure city and their

Prize details, made by the winner, which incur additional costs, are to be paid by the Travel Prize winner.

limited to, spending money, meals, drinks, transport, laundry charges, activities, incidentals, taxes (excluding
departure and any other flight associated taxes included within the Travel Prize), gratuities, services charges,
passports, visas, travel insurance and all other ancillary costs associated with redeeming the Travel Prize. The
Winner must obtain travel insurance to protect themselves against additional costs incurred in the event of
unforeseen circumstances.
h) The Travel Prize is not transferable or exchangeable and cannot be redeemed for cash. The Travel Prize must
be taken as stated in the Specific Rules and no compensation will be payable if the Winner is unable to use the
Travel Prize as stated. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Winner is, for whatever reason, unable to travel on a
nominated date during this period, whether the failure was due to reasons beyond the Winner's control or
otherwise, then the Winner will forfeit the Travel Prize.
i) The Promoter makes no representation as to safety, conditions and other issues that may exist at any
destination. International travel advice can be obtained from various sources, including government, local
consular offices and the web site of the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The winner
accepts the Travel Prize at their own risk.
j) All travel is subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Travel Prize service providers. Any
travelling companion included in the Travel Prize (if applicable) accepts the Travel Prize subject to these terms,
conditions and restrictions as if references to the Winner in the relevant clauses were to the travelling
companion. The Winner and their travelling companion must sign a legal release, in a form acceptable to the
Promoter in its absolute discretion, if requested by the Promoter.

not obliged to provide an alternative prize or to take legal action to require the prize supplier to provide the
prize.
