RECEIPT AND TRANSMISSION OF DATA MESSAGES
Data messages, including e-mail messages, sent by you to the Promoter will be considered to be received only when acknowledged or responded to.
Data messages sent by the Promoter to you will be regarded as received when the complete data message enters an information system designated or used for that purpose by the recipient and is capable of being retrieved and processed by the recipient.
The Promoter reserves the right not to respond to any e-mail or other data message which contains obscene, threatening, defamatory or otherwise illegal, unlawful or inappropriate content, and to take appropriate action against the sender of such e-mail or data message where necessary.
Whilst all reasonable care is always used by the Promoter, messages sent over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure as they can be intercepted, lost or corrupted. The Promoter is therefore not responsible for the accuracy of any message sent by email over the internet, whether from the Promoter to a user or from a user to the Promoter.

Should any Competition require entrants to submit a photograph and/or video clip, as a part of entry into or participation and used in the Competition (collectively, “Photograph(s)”):
Entrants warrant that they are the legal guardian of the person in the Photograph and that it may be submitted as part of their entry;
Entrants agree that we have the right to publish and communicate to the public the Photographs in any media including, but not limited to, online, at all times without restriction or limitation throughout the world and not only for the purposes of the Competition;
Entrants acknowledge that we may edit the Photographs in our sole discretion;
Entrants agree that we have the right to use entrants’ names, likenesses and other personal information in conjunction with the Photographs;
Entrants agree not to bring against us any actions, suits, claims and demands in respect of defamation or any infringement or violation of any personal and/or property rights of any sort from our use of their Photographs;
Entrants unconditionally waive their right to seek or obtain an interdict to prevent or restrict our use of the Photographs; and
A third party is unable to submit an entry on behalf of another person unless they have written consent, from at least one legal guardian.
If you have entered a person without prior written consent from the legal guardian, the entry will be removed.
