The following General Terms & Conditions apply to all competitions, giveaways and promotions (“Promotion/s”) run by the Promoter and each Promotion Schedule is incorporated into and forms a part of the General Terms and Conditions.
If a Promotion Schedule applies to a Promotion then for the purposes of that Promotion, these General Terms and Conditions apply subject to the terms of the applicable Promotion Schedule. To the extent of any conflict between these General Terms and Conditions and a Promotion Schedule, the Promotion Schedule will prevail.
Promotions
Each Promotion commences and closes at the time and on the date shown in item 1 of the applicable Promotion Schedule (“Promotion Period”).
Information on how to enter a Promotion will be set out in item 2 of the applicable Promotion Schedule for each Promotion.
Entries and Entry Process
Each individual who enters into a Promotion on the Canstar Blue website or on Facebook is called an “Entrant.”

The Promoter reserves the right to verify the identity of each Entrant. The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any person for tampering with the entry process.
A Promotion is not available for use with any other discount, special offer or promotion.
To be eligible for a Promotion, and in order to make a valid submission under the Promotion, an Entrant must, during the Promotion Period, meet all of the requirements set out in item 3 (if applicable) of the relevant Promotion Schedule.
Facebook Promotions
If a Promotion is being run on Facebook, Entrants who take up the offer to enter the Promotion are taken to agree to these General Terms and Conditions and to the applicable Promotion Schedule. Each Entrant expressly acknowledges that:
the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook, and
by entering and participating in the Promotion, the Entrant agrees to hold harmless, defend and indemnify Facebook from and against any and all claims, demands, liability, damages or causes of action (however named or described), losses, costs or expenses, with respect to or arising out of or related to
the Entrant’s participation in the Promotion, or

The Prize is not transferable, exchangeable or redeemable for cash.
The Prize Winner will be selected by a procedure set out in item 5 of the Promotion Schedule for each competition. The selection will take place at the time and date set out in item 5 of the Promotion Schedule.
Personal Information
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Promoter must tell Entrants when it collects personal information about them and how it plans to use it.
If an Entrant chooses to enter or take part in the Promotion, the Entrant will be required to provide the Promoter with personal information such as the Entrant’s name, email address, age and postcode.
The Prize Winner will be required to provide the Promoter with the name of the recipient of the Prize and delivery address for the Prize (“Recipient Information”). The Entrant collects participants’ personal information and Recipient Information in order to conduct the Promotion. Canstar Blue’s privacy policy at http://www.canstarblue.com.au/privacy-policy/ applies to the personal information and Recipient Information provided by Entrants.
Any personal details provided incorrectly to the Promoter may be deemed by the Promoter as an invalid submission.
Throughout the Promotional Period, the Promoter may at their absolute discretion contact some Entrants via email to further discuss the details of that person’s entry. Any contact is not indicative of an Entrant’s standing in the competition, and does in no way indicate whether or not that Entrant has been selected as a Contestant/Finalist/Winner.
The Prize Winner will be notified by the email address provided during the Promotion entry process, within 2 working days of being determined.
Results may be published on the Promoter’s website or any other publication.
Should the Winner not claim their prize within 2 days of being notified, the Promoter may, at its discretion, re-determine a new Winner.
Except for any liability that cannot be excluded by law, the Promoter (including its officers, employees and agents) exclude all liability (including negligence), for any personal injury, or any loss or damage (including loss of opportunity) whether direct, indirect, special or consequential, arising in any way out of the Prize as a result of the Promotion.
