1. Information on how to enter, submit an entry and to complete a product review,
form part of these terms and conditions (Terms of entry). The Terms must be read in
conjunction with the Schedule. The Schedule defines the terminology used in these
Terms of entry. Where there is any inconsistency between these Terms and the
Schedule, the Schedule prevails. Participation in this Promotion is deemed
acceptance of these Terms of entry.
2. Entry is only open to Australian residents aged 18 years or over. Employees (and
their immediate families) of the Promoter and agencies associated with this
promotion are ineligible to enter.
3. The Promotion will be conducted during the Promotion period.
4. The entrants must follow the Method of entry during the Promotion period to enter
the Promotion. Failure to do so will result in an invalid entry.
5. The Promoter reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of entries and
entrants (including an entrant’s identity, age and place of residence) and reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant who the Promoter has
reason to believe has breached any of Terms of entry, tampered with the entry
process or engaged in any unlawful or other improper misconduct calculated to
jeopardise fair and proper conduct of the promotion. Errors and omissions will be
accepted at the Promoter's discretion. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its
rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. The Promoter's legal
rights to recover damages or other compensation from such an offender are
reserved.
6. Incomplete, indecipherable, or illegible entries will be deemed invalid.
7. Multiple entries are permitted. One entry per submission.
8. If there is a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the Promoter reserves the right,

provided to the promotional question.

10. The judging will take place in accordance with the Selection of winners. The judges
may select additional reserve entries which they determine to be the next best, and
record them in order, in case of an invalid entry or ineligible entrant. Winners will be
notified by email within five (5) working days.
11. The Promoter’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
12. The best valid entries, as determined by the judges, will each receive either a
Panasonic SR-CN108WST Rice Cooker valued at $219.00 RRP or a SR-CN188WST Rice
Cooker valued at $249.00 RRP. The Rice Cooker model will be allocated to each
winner at random by the Promoter.
13. The selected winner agrees to participate in a Trial Period of fourteen (14) days upon
receipt of the Rice Cooker. During the Trial Period, the winner must use the Rice
Cooker in accordance with its instruction manual in an ordinary domestic manner.
14. At the conclusion of the Trial Period, the winner must then submit a review of the
Rice Cooker to the Promoter. The winner must include in their review any specific
wording provided by the Promoter to ensure it is clear that their review has resulted
from participation in the trial. The winner warrants that they will respond honestly in
relation to the Rice Cooker they test and any review provided will be a true
reflection of the winner’s opinion. For the avoidance of doubt, reviews can be
positive or negative, and this will not impact a winner’s ability to keep the Rice
Cooker.
15. If for any reason a winner does not take or claim the Rice Cooker by the time
stipulated by the Promoter, then the product will be forfeited.
