The Competition is open to permanent residents and citizens of the Republic of South Africa who are the age of 18 (eighteen) years or older, in possession of a valid identity document or passport and who reside in the Republic of South Africa during the period of the Competition (“”). Participants may not enter or receive a prize if they are directors, members, partners, employees, agents of or consultants of the Promoter, their subsidiaries, holding companies, divisions and/or associated companies or of the advertising or promotion agencies or any other person who directly or indirectly controls or is controlled by the Promoter, or their spouses, life partners, immediate family members or business partners.

Participants may not enter this Competition or be declared a winner if they have won a competition promoted by Promoter within the past 6 (six) months.

By entering this Competition, all Participants and winners agree to be bound by these rules which will be interpreted by the Promoter, whose decision regarding any dispute will be final and binding. The Promoter reserves the right at any time without notice to amend, modify or change these rules, and to postpone, suspend or cancel this Competition and any prizes (which have not yet been subject to a draw), or any aspect thereof, without notice at any time, for any reason which the Promoter reasonably deems necessary.

Entries are unlimited. Participants may enter the Competition as many times as they wish.

The Promoter will not be liable for lost, missing or incorrect entries, SMS charges, or any resulting costs.

Entries must be by the Participant submitting them and not by a third party on the Participant’s behalf.

Van Loveren Family Vineyards including brands such as Four Cousins, Christiena and Tangled Tree may use all images/photos submitted for a competition for e.g. marketing purposes.

No responsibility will be accepted for any entry that is not delivered, received or is delayed or damaged due to technical reasons, including telecommunication failure on the part of the Participant’s service provider, or otherwise. Proof of sending is not proof of receipt.

Entries which are unclear, illegible, are submitted via an incorrect entry mechanism or contain errors or from disqualified persons will be declared invalid.

The prize does not cover any other costs of the winner whatsoever. Insurance and any other additions are not included in the prize and are the responsibility of the winner.

The winners will be selected by a random draw from all valid entries which will take place as soon as reasonably possible after the closing date. In order for the particular entry to be confirmed as valid, the Promoter will contact the possible winners by telephone, and they will be subject to a Competition verification process.

The Promoter will make 3 (three) attempts within 3 (three) working days to contact and notify the selected possible winner telephonically. If the selected possible winner cannot be contacted personally after 3 (three) attempts, or if after first being contacted by the Promoter, is not reachable, or the possible winner fails to provide the Promoter with the required information to verify his/her entry and to hand over the prize, the possible winner will forfeit the prize and a replacement winner will be selected from the names drawn from remaining qualifying Participants. This process shall continue until the winner has been contacted and the prize has been awarded in terms of the Competition rules.

Once the possible winner has been confirmed as valid after the verification process, the winner will be notified telephonically.

The Promoter may require the winners to complete and submit an information disclosure agreement and indemnification to enable the Promoter to ensure compliance with these rules and the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. Should any winner refuse or be unable to comply with this rule for any reason, such winner will be deemed to have rejected the prize and it shall revert back to the Promoter. The winners may also be required to sign an acknowledgment of receipt of their prize.

The prize is not exchangeable, nor transferable, nor redeemable for cash and, to the extent permitted by law, the Promoter is not liable for any defect in the prizes. The Promoter reserves the right to substitute prizes with any other prize of equal or greater commercial value.

Should any dispute arise in relation to the interpretation of these Competition rules, the Promoter’s decision shall be final and no correspondence shall be entered into.

To the extent permitted by law, all Participants and winners, as the case may be, indemnify the Promoter, including their advertising agencies, advisers, nominated agents, suppliers, affiliates and/or associated companies against any and all claims of any nature whatsoever arising out of and/or from their participation in any way howsoever in this Competition (including as a result of any act or omission, whether as a result of negligence, misrepresentation, misconduct or otherwise on the part of the Promoter and/or use of the prize).

The Promoter reserves the right to select an alternative winner in the event that they reasonably believe, in their sole discretion, that the winner is not eligible to win, has contravened any of these rules, has acted in a manner that is not in the spirit of the Competition, their conduct can be reasonably interpreted as scamming or circumventing the rules of the Competition, acted fraudulently with regards to the Competition, if it would be unlawful to award the prize or if the winner fails to accept the prize after 3 (three) attempts for any reason whatsoever, if after first being contacted by the Promoter, is not reachable, or the winner fails to provide the Promoter with the required information to verify their entry and to hand over the prize. In this instance the winner will be disqualified and forfeit the prize. The Promoter’s decision shall be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
