1. Promoter and Promotion
1.1 The promoter of this competition is Daniel’s Donuts Retail Pty Ltd (ABN 15 655 095 471) of Level 1, 28 Cubitt Street, Cremorne, Victoria 3121 (Promoter).

1.3 Information on how to enter and the prizes form part of these terms and conditions (Terms). By entering, entrants accept and agree to be bound by these Terms.
1.4 This is a game of skill. Chance plays no part in determining the winners.
1.5 The Promoter is the sole promoter of the Promotion. The manufacturers of any prizes (e.g. Nintendo and Polaroid) are not associated with, and do not sponsor or endorse, the Promotion. Their products are referred to only to describe the prizes that the Promoter has independently sourced at retail.

2. Eligibility
2.1 Entry is open to natural persons who, at the time of entry, are:
(a) aged 18 years or over; and
(b) residents of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland or Western Australia.
2.2 The following persons are not eligible to enter: directors, officers, employees, contractors and immediate family members of the Promoter; franchisees and store staff of any Daniel’s Donuts store; the judging panel; and any agency or supplier associated with the Promotion. Immediate family means any of a spouse, ex-spouse, de facto partner, child or step-child (whether natural or by adoption), parent, step-parent, grandparent, step-grandparent, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, brother, sister, step-brother, step-sister or first cousin.
2.3 Entrants under the age of 18 years are not eligible to enter and will be disqualified. Several of the prizes appeal to a younger audience; the 18+ requirement is a condition of entry and applies notwithstanding the nature of any prize.

4.3 Entrants must retain proof of their Eligible Purchase (such as the original till receipt, bank or card statement excerpt, or other evidence acceptable to the Promoter showing purchase of an eligible product on the relevant date) and may be required to produce that proof at the validation stage. Failure to produce satisfactory proof of purchase on request may, at the Promoter’s discretion, result in disqualification.
4.4 Only one (1) Entry is permitted per person and per email address. Where the Promoter reasonably suspects that an entrant has submitted multiple Entries, used multiple email addresses, or otherwise attempted to circumvent this limit, the Promoter may disqualify all of that entrant’s Entries.

4.6 The Promoter may, in its absolute discretion, disqualify any Entry that does not comply with these Terms, is incomplete, illegible, late, or that the Promoter reasonably considers contravenes the requirements above.
4.7 Entries are deemed to be received only when actually received by the Promoter’s entry system. The Promoter accepts no responsibility for late, lost, delayed, incomplete or misdirected Entries, or for any technical malfunction, network outage or other failure of any kind affecting the entry process.

5. Judging

5.5 In the event of a tie between Entries for any prize, the Judging Panel will determine the winner by selecting, in its absolute discretion, the Entry it considers most original. This tie-breaker is itself a skill-based determination; chance plays no part.

7.3 If a winner cannot be contacted, fails to respond, is found to be ineligible, fails to provide satisfactory proof of purchase on request, or otherwise does not comply with these Terms, that winner forfeits the prize, and the Promoter may, in its absolute discretion, award the prize to the next highest-ranked eligible Entry as determined by the Judging Panel. Any such re-award will be conducted as a continuation of the original skill-based judging and not by way of redraw.
7.4 A winner has 28 days from the date of the Promoter’s first notification to claim the prize. Any prize not claimed within that period is forfeited, and the preceding clause applies.
