These General Competition Terms and Conditions apply to all competitions run by the Promoter. They may be amended or varied from time to time by the Promoter. Special Terms and Conditions may apply to particular contests in which case, the Special Terms and Conditions will be highlighted on the competition/promotion page.

The Promoter is Saddletops Pty Ltd (ACN 16123101931) of PO Box 557 Gatton QLD 4343 (“the Promoter”).

The only persons who may enter and be awarded prizes are Australian residents who are not employees of the Promoter or its related bodies corporate, or the immediate family of such employees. “Immediate family” means spouse, parent, child or sibling, whether or not they live in the same household as the employee.

By entering the competition, participants agree to be bound by these General Terms and Conditions and any Special Terms and Conditions appearing on the website specific to the particular competition. To enter the Promoter’s competitions, entrants must answer all competition questions, if any, and entries must be received by the Promoter by the close of business on the specified closing date. The Promoter reserves the right to extend the competition closing date at its discretion and without notification.

For competitions that are a game of skill: entrants are required to submit a creative answer to a question. Winners will be selected by a panel of representatives of the Promoter who, at their discretion, will select the best answer/s based upon originality, creativity, and adherence to the word limit. Chance plays no part in determining the winners.

For competitions that are a game of chance: entrants must submit an answer to a question. Entries will be drawn at random. The first entry (or entries) drawn where the question has been correctly answered, will win.

For “colouring-in” competitions: entrants must submit the official image from the magazine and decorate it how they wish. This must be posted to the specified address along with details of the entrant (such as name, age, postal address and member’s email address). Winners will be selected by a panel of representatives of the Promoter who, at their discretion, will select the best entries based upon originality and creativity. Submissions cannot be returned. Chance plays no part in determining the winners.

The winner(s) will be selected on the date specified or the following business day where the specified date falls on a weekend or public holiday.

The Promoter’s decision in relation to any aspect of the competition is final and binding on every entrant. No correspondence will be entered into.

All prizes must be taken as offered and are not exchangeable, transferable, redeemable for cash or for resale. In the event that a prize is unavailable, the Promoter reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value. Prizes unclaimed after a period of one month from the date of notification of the winner may be forfeited and used by the Promoter at the discretion of the Promoter.

Prize collection method.

Prizes will be posted to the address nominated by the winner/s. No responsibility will be accepted by the Promoter for any lost or misdirected mail.

In special situations, and subject to the absolute discretion of the Promoter, a winner may nominate a designated representative to collect a prize. The representative will be required to present written authorisation from the winner and photographic identification of both the winner and their representative.

Winners will be notified by email, phone or mail (for prizes being sent direct to the nominated address).

All entries become the property of the Promoter. Entries not completed in accordance with the conditions of entry or received after the closing date will not be considered. Indecipherable or incomplete entries will be disregarded. No responsibility is taken for late or misdirected email.

The details contained in your entry are protected by security safeguards as detailed in the Promoter’s Privacy Policy, which is also available on this website. The personal information collected as part of the entry is collected to enable identification of the winner and for future marketing and promotional purposes. Your personal information will only be disclosed to the Promoter and its related bodies corporate for these purposes.

You can contact our Privacy Officer if you would like details of the personal information that the Promoter may hold about you or if you would like it to be corrected. Depending on the nature of your request, we may ask you to complete a personal information request form. Our Privacy Officer’s contact details are: editor@horsesandpeople.com.au
