The Promoter, in its sole discretion, may at any time after a claim or an entry has been submitted, require the original Sticker and/or proof of purchase (including a copy of the purchase receipt and/or product packaging) to be handed over from the Entrant to the Promoter before awarding any prize in order to verify the claim or entry (as applicable) as eligible under these Conditions of Entry.

36.

The Promoter's legal rights to recover damages or other compensation from such an offender are reserved.
37. A prize will only be awarded following any winner validation and verification that the Promoter, or its nominated agents, requires in their sole discretion.

It is a condition of accepting a prize that a winner (and their prize companion(s) (if applicable)) may be required to sign eligibility form(s), code(s) of conduct and/or legal release(s) in a form determined by the Promoter in its absolute discretion. If a winner is under 18 years of age, the winner must ensure that the winner's parent or guardian also agrees to and signs such documents (if requested by the Promoter).

41. If a prize (or part of a prize) becomes unavailable, for any reason beyond the Prize Partner or Promoter's reasonable control (as applicable), then a comparable prize (or part of a prize) of equal or greater value will be awarded in lieu at the Prize Partner or Promoter's discretion, subject to any written directions made under applicable State or Territory legislation.
42. Prizes are not transferable or exchangeable and cannot be taken as cash (unless otherwise indicated). Prizes must be taken as offered and cannot be varied.

49. The only materials that form part of the Promotion are materials manufactured for the Promoter, and issued by the Promoter or its related bodies corporate for the purposes of the Promotion. These official materials include items described in the Promotion materials generally as "Stickers".
50. A sticker is only an eligible Sticker if it has been issued by the Promoter or its related bodies corporate in connection with the retail sale of one (1) of the Promoter's Eligible Products during the Purchase Period.
51. In order to preserve the integrity of the Promotion, and to detect fraudulent and unacceptable conduct, some Stickers have special features, including security markings, which are known only to the Promoter and its authorised agents. Only bona fide winning Stickers will be honoured. The Promoter may conduct security verification checks in its absolute discretion. A Sticker is void and not replaceable if it has been lost, stolen, forged, transferred (see Conditions 13 – 15), mutilated or tampered with in any way or if it, or any part of it, fails any of the Promoter's security and verification checks.
52. Printing and other quality control errors will not invalidate an otherwise valid prize claim. Unless otherwise due to fraud or ineligibility under these Conditions of Entry all prize claims in excess of the advertised prize pool will be met. Prizes will only be awarded where a Sticker and Promotion Message fulfils all of the requirements of the Promoter's verification tests and procedures. The verification tests and procedures shall be determined by the Promoter in its absolute discretion. Promoter warrants that the system for determining prize winners cannot be tampered with in any way by any person or organisation involved in the production and distribution of Prize Codes.
53. Any Sticker which is misprinted or reproduced incorrectly will be, in the Promoter's sole discretion, void and the Entrant's sole remedy will be (subject to availability) a replacement Sticker. Entrants may call the Promotion Helpline on 1300 306 217 between the hours of 8:00am and 5:30pm on any business day during the Promotion Period, in the event they believe they have received a misprinted or incorrectly reproduced Sticker.

Promoter's brands, logos, trading names and products will remain or be vested in the Promoter.
