If the winner is prevented from receiving all or part of the Prize because of their own acts or omissions, the winner will lose the benefit of that part of the Prize without any reimbursement or compensation.
If circumstances require, in particular if a prize supplier fails to deliver, the Sponsor may replace any element of the Prize with an item of equivalent or greater value. In the event of force majeure or other exceptional circumstances beyond the Sponsor's control, the Sponsor may modify the Contest in whole or in part, postpone delivery of the Prize, replace the Prize with one of equivalent value, or, if no other solution is possible, cancel the Prize.
Article 6: Determination of the Winner
The winner will be determined by a random draw conducted by the Sponsor on 4 January 2027 from all valid entries received during the Contest Period.
Article 7: Notification of the Winner and Delivery of the Prize
Award of the Prize is subject to the validity of the entry, which the Sponsor may verify at any time, and to the absence of any suspicion of fraud. Any entry that is incomplete, erroneous or does not comply with these Rules will be rejected without liability on the part of the Sponsor.
The winner will be notified by email or phone within three (3) days of the draw. If the winner cannot be contacted within seven (7) days after the first attempt, or does not claim the Prize within that period, the winner will forfeit the Prize and an alternate winner may be drawn from the remaining valid entries.
The Sponsor is not responsible for loss of the Prize by the postal service or carrier, for delivery delays, or for the condition of the Prize on delivery, except where the Sponsor is at fault. The winner should refuse any visibly damaged package and notify the carrier and the Sponsor.
Article 8: Liability and Force Majeure
The Sponsor shall not be liable where a participant:
- suffered a technical failure of any kind when scanning the QR code or submitting the entry form (mobile network, device, server incident or accidental disconnection);
- provided inaccurate or incomplete Contact Information that makes it impossible to notify them or deliver the Prize; or
- did not meet the conditions for receiving the Prize.
Entry by mobile device involves the characteristics and limits of mobile and internet technologies, including response times, interruptions and the risks inherent in any data transmission. Each participant is responsible for protecting their own device and data.
The Sponsor may cancel, suspend or modify the Contest if fraud, technical failure, cancellation of an Event or any other factor beyond its control affects the integrity or proper conduct of the Contest.
The Sponsor's records of entries, including dates and times of submission, constitute evidence of participation unless the participant proves otherwise.
Third-party prize elements, including the iPhone, are subject to the terms and conditions of their manufacturers or suppliers.
Nothing in these Rules excludes or limits the Sponsor's liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including the statutory rights of consumers in their country of residence.
Article 9: Complaints and Fraud
Any complaint about the Contest should be sent by email to events@quadlock.com.au, preferably within ninety (90) days after the end of the Contest Period, so that it can be investigated while records are available. This does not affect any rights participants have under applicable law.
If the Contact Information provided by a participant does not allow the Sponsor to notify them of their win or deliver the Prize, they lose the status of winner.
The Sponsor may cancel all or part of the Contest if fraud of any kind has occurred, including computer fraud or fraud in the determination of the winner. In that case, the Sponsor may decline to award the Prize and may pursue the persons responsible before the competent courts. Participating under one or more fictitious names, or names borrowed from third parties, is fraudulent. Each participant must enter under their own name. Any fraud will result in the participant's elimination.
Article 10: Protection of Personal Data
The Sponsor is the controller of the personal data collected in connection with the Contest. The Sponsor processes that personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR") and, for participants resident in the United Kingdom, the UK GDPR.
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Managing entries, the draw, verification, notification and delivery of the Prize | Contact Information, date and time of entry, Event | Performance of the Contest Rules (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) |
| Publishing the winner's name (Article 12) | First name, last name initial, city | Legitimate interest in informing participants (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) |
| Sending Quad Lock marketing communications | Email address, first name | Consent, given through a separate, optional tick box (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) |
| Using the winner's image or voice in promotion | Photograph, video, statements | Consent, requested separately from the winner (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) |
Providing the Contact Information is necessary to enter. Marketing consent is optional and does not affect eligibility or the chances of winning. The winner is not required to consent to any use of their image or voice to receive the Prize.
Personal data will be shared only with service providers that help the Sponsor run the Contest and deliver the Prize, and will not be sold or transferred to commercial partners. Because the Sponsor is established in Australia, personal data will be transferred to Australia, which is not covered by an adequacy decision. These transfers are protected by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and, for UK data, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. Participants may request a copy of these safeguards at the address below.
Entry data of participants who do not win will be deleted [twelve (12) months] after the end of the Contest Period. Winner data will be kept for as long as needed to deliver the Prize and to meet legal obligations. Marketing data will be kept until consent is withdrawn.
Under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and applicable national law, participants have the right to access, rectify and erase their personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. Participants resident in France may also give instructions on the storage, erasure and communication of their personal data after their death. To exercise these rights, participants should email events@quadlock.com.au. Where there is reasonable doubt about the requester's identity, the Sponsor may ask for proof of identity.
Participants also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in their country of residence.

Article 12: Publication of the Winner's Name
The Sponsor may publish the winner's first name, last name initial and city of residence on the page referred to in Article 11 for six (6) months after the draw, to inform participants of the result. This processing is based on the Sponsor's legitimate interest. The winner may object to it at any time in accordance with Article 10, in which case the Sponsor will publish the result without identifying the winner.
Article 13: Applicable Law and Disputes
Any dispute concerning the application or interpretation of these Rules should first be raised with the Sponsor under Article 9 so that an amicable solution can be sought. If no amicable solution is reached, the dispute will be submitted to the competent courts. Nothing in these Rules deprives a participant of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of their country of residence, or of their right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country.
Article 14: Translation
These Rules are drafted in English. Translations may be made available for information. In the event of any inconsistency between the English version and a translation, the English version prevails, except where the law of the participant's country of residence requires otherwise.
