Use of script, macro or any automated system to enter the Promotion is prohibited and entries made (or which appear to have been made) using any such system may be treated as void. Any illegible, incomplete or fraudulent entries will be rejected. A maximum of 5 entries in total can be made across the duration of the promotion period, one per Sub-Promotion. Any entries in addition to this may be disqualified. Participants may only win one prize per person, irrespective of the number of entries submitted.

To enter the Promotion, participants must answer the applicable Sub-Promotion question on the relevant section of the Online Form correctly and submit that answer, together with such other details as may be requested in that form.
