3. Unless otherwise stated in the Specific Rules registration, entry is limited to 1 per person.

5. No purchase is necessary to win or participate in the Promotion, unless specified in the Specific Rules.
6. The Promotion is open to New Zealand Residents only. Disqualified Participants may not enter in the Promotion.
7. Autoport reserves the right to exclude any person from participating in the Promotion on reasonable grounds.

13. Only the person who originally entered the Promotion can be awarded the prize (the ‘Winner’) and that person must have an active Autoport account.

16. The Winner will be notified by email, phone (voice or text) and mail or in person and must be available for the preparation of all publicity that may be required by Autoport. Where attempts to contact the Winner fail (eg when the Winner cannot be contacted by phone after three attempts or mail sent is returned) the Judge will select another winner. If, after successful notification, the prize is not collected within two months of being announced it will be regarded as forfeit. (Note: 3 attempts to contact the Winner will include individual calls to any numbers provided at the time of entry. However, should the prize’s total worth equal less than NZD$250 and be a live-to-air draw, only one failed attempt at contact will be acceptable before the Judge selects another winner.)
17. The Prize is not redeemable for cash or transferable. No other family members, friends, office associates or any other person will be able to participate on the Winner’s behalf. In the event that the Prize specified in the Competition becomes unavailable for any reason the Promoter may substitute a prize of like or equal value.
18. Where the Winner is required to claim the prize in person, they must provide proper identification (eg driver’s licence, passport, birth certificate).
19. The Winner takes the Prize entirely at his/her own risk and indemnifies Autoport in respect of any claim for any accident, injury, property damage or loss of life that may occur in connection with the prize. The Winner is responsible for all insurance, tax or other costs that may be associated with the Prize. Where the Prize has associated terms and conditions the Winner accepts the Prize subject to those terms and conditions and restrictions.

The winner accepts the Travel Prize at their own risk.
    8. All travel is subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Travel Prize service providers.
