(e) a person who refuses to comply with or breaches any terms of these General Competition Entry Rules. All contestants acknowledge that CMAA can rely on this clause at any time, even if CMAA only learns of a person’s ineligibility after CMAA has nominated the person as the winner or awarded the prize. Return of the prize or payment of its value to CMAA can be required by CMAA if this occurs.

2. Prizes

Notwithstanding anything else in these Rules, CMAA has absolute discretion in awarding prizes in a competition.

In order to claim a prize in a competition, the winner must:

(a) be eligible to enter under these General Competition Entry Rules and any Special Competition Rules;

(b) be announced by CMAA as the winner of that prize on air through partner/member radio and television channels, or any other means determined by CMAA;

(c) not be prohibited by any rule of law from using or otherwise enjoying the prize for which he or she has been announced as the winner;

(d) demonstrate to CMAA’s satisfaction that he or she is the winner of the prize, and if necessary prove that he or she is not prohibited from using or otherwise enjoying the prize (for example, by producing photo-identification, such as a driver’s licence or passport, or signing a declaration to that effect); and

(e) comply with any request made by CMAA under the General Competition Entry Rules or any Special Competition Rules that apply to that competition; and

(f) only one (1) qualifier or winner per family per competition unless otherwise stipulated.

To qualify for the Stand Together Day prize, both the nominator and the nominee must be over the age of 18. If either the nominator or the nominee is found to be under the age of 18, they will be disqualified from receiving the prize. However, CMAA reserves the absolute discretion to either award the prize to the nominee’s lawful parent or guardian or to require the parent or guardian to sign an indemnity and consent form for the nominee to receive or participate in the prize.

Prizes will only be awarded following winner validation and verification.

Should a prize winner choose not to accept the prize allocated by CMAA, the prize will not be substituted with another prize.

All prize items are valued inclusive of GST and CMAA takes no responsibility for any variation in item values. Any taxes which may be payable as a consequence of a winner receiving the prize are the sole responsibility of that winner.

Prizes are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash. If the specified prize becomes unavailable, CMAA may substitute a prize of like or equal value.

Unless otherwise specified, the class of travel for any travel prize incorporating an airfare is economy class.

No prohibited prizes will be awarded.

Winners will be notified on-air, by mail, telephone, email or by any other contact details provided by the winner.

Upon request by CMAA, a copy of the General Competition Entry Rules and/or a signed receipt and acknowledgment must be signed and endorsed by any winner to indicate his/her understanding and acceptance of these terms. All details for the travel and accommodation for the prize must be confirmed and booked by the 31st of August, 2024 (or as otherwise agreed to by CMAA at winners request) or you risk the prize won being forfeited. A reselection may take place at CMAA’s discretion.

In the event a winner chooses not to accept a prize, they forfeit any and all claims to the prize which can then be awarded to a competition runner up at the time at the discretion of CMAA.

The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

3. Exclusion of Liability

CMAA takes no responsibility for the loss of prizes due to incorrect or imprecise delivery details provided by an entrant. CMAA makes no representations or warranties as to the quality/suitability/merchantability of any of the goods/services offered as prizes.

CMAA shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered or sustained (including but not limited to consequential loss), including for personal injury or property damage suffered or sustained, as a result of accepting any prize or participation in any competition or prize, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

A person who enters a competition releases from and indemnifies CMAA from and against all liability, cost, loss or expense arising out of acceptance of any prize or participation in any competition including (but not limited to) personal injury and damage to property and whether direct, indirect, consequential, foreseeable, due to some negligent act or omission, or otherwise.

A winner (or his or her parent or guardian as appropriate) may be required to sign and return any liability release provided by CMAA and/or its contractors as a condition of the prize being awarded. Failure to return the signed releases and indemnities will result in the entitlement to the prize being forfeited.

4. Disqualification

CMAA is not responsible for lost, interrupted communications or unavailable network server or other connections, failed telephone, mid delivery or computer transmissions or other errors of any kind, whether human, mechanical or electronic.

CMAA assumes no responsibility for any error, defect, delay, theft or unauthorised access to or alteration of entries. Subject to any written directions given under the applicable law, if for any reason, the competition is not capable of operating as planned, including infection by computer viruses, tampering, unauthorised intervention, fraud or any other causes beyond the control of CMAA which corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, or proper conduct of the competition, then CMAA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend this competition.

CMAA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual for:

(a) tampering with the entry process, including exceeding any limitation on the numbers of entries, or any other process as determined by CMAA that in any way affects the fairness of the promotion;

(b) tampering with the operation of the competition or web site;

(d) if an entrant selected as winner is found to be in breach of any term of these General Competition Entry Rules, a new winner may be selected and, in the event that the entrant in breach has been awarded a prize, the entrant may be required to return the prize or reimburse the value of the prize to CMAA.

5. Participation

Participation in the competition constitutes the entrant’s unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these General Competition Entry Rules and any Special Competition Rules in relation to a particular competition. These Rules may change from time to time including by extending the time for, varying or terminating any competition.

The Entrant is responsible for ensuring his or her familiarity with the General Competition Entry Rules and any Special Competition Rules at the time of participation. CMAA’s decision not to enforce a specific restriction does not constitute a waiver of that restriction or of the General Competition Entry Rules or Special Competition Rules. CMAA may enforce these Rules in its absolute discretion.

Where CMAA has Special Competition Rules in relation to a particular contest, then they will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these General Competition Entry Rules or Special Competition Rules. CMAA may enforce these Rules in its absolute discretion.

The General Competition Entry Rules and any Special Competition Rules are to be construed in accordance with the laws of Australia. CMAA may terminate any contest at any time at its absolute discretion. In the event of such termination, CMAA may at its absolute discretion elect not to award any prize in respect of the terminated contest.
