An Eligible Entrant will receive a maximum of one (1) entry into the Competition and may only enter the Competition in their own name. If an Eligible Entrant has submitted more than one entry form, only the first completed and submitted entry received by the Promotor in accordance with paragraph 6 will be valid for the purpose of entry into the Competition and subsequent entries will be deemed invalid. After an Eligible Entrant has submitted a valid Original Entry, they will receive an email from the Promoter confirming receipt of his or her Original Entry, and providing the Eligible Entrant with a unique referrer hyperlink to the Competition website (“Competition Website”). The Eligible Entrant can earn additional entries (“Referrer Entries”) into this Competition, as follows:
during the Entry Period, the Eligible Entrant must share the unique hyperlink with other Eligible Entrants (who have not already entered the Competition) (“Referred Person”) in accordance with the instructions provided; and
Referred Person/s enter the Competition during the Entry Period in accordance with these terms and conditions using the unique hyperlink shared by the Referrer.
Prior to sharing the unique hyperlink with Referred Person/s, Eligible Entrants should ensure that Referred Person/s are happy to receive information about this Competition. For each Referred Person who enters the Competition under this condition 7, the relevant Eligible Entrant will earn one Referred Entry into the Competition, up to a maximum of ten (10) Referrer Entries.
All entries must be received by the Promoter during the Entry Period. Entries will be deemed received at the time that the Promoter is satisfied that all necessary requirements under condition 6 have been met and not at the time of submission by the Eligible Entrant.

The Promoter may, in its absolute discretion, declare an entry invalid or disqualify any entrant that tampers with the entry process or benefits from such tampering, submits an entry that is incomplete or not in accordance with these conditions, or otherwise acts in a manner that is disruptive, dishonest or calculated to jeopardise the fair and proper conduct of this Competition.
The Promoter reserves the right to require an entrant to verify the validity of their entry within the requested time, including but not limited to an entrant’s identity, eligibility, age and address and to disqualify any entrant who does not satisfy any entry criteria in these conditions.
