Competitions Terms & Conditions

General Terms and Conditions for Planners Avenue Competitions

We encourage you to carefully review the individual competition requirements and details (“Competition Rules”) for each competition before registering or submitting an entry since each competition may have unique eligibility requirements, methods of entry, content and technical requirements.

All our competitions are skill-based and are governed by these Competition Terms as well as the specific Competition Rules. If there are any inconsistencies between the clauses in these Competition Terms and the specific Competition Rules, these Competition Terms will govern.

A person who enters a Competition will be bound by these terms and conditions as varied from time to time as well as the Competition Rules for that Competition.

You are required to read the Competition Rules for each competition before you participate. Please read these terms and conditions as well as the Competition Rules for that Competition carefully.

To the extent of any inconsistency, the Competition Rules for a Competition will prevail over these terms and conditions.

Planners Avenue reserves the right to vary these terms and conditions at any time and without notice. Please check these terms and conditions on the Competition Page at regular intervals for any changes.

 

Eligibility for entry into Competition

Competitions are open to all residents of Australia except officers, employees, suppliers, retailers and contractors of Planners Avenue and its related bodies corporate and members of the immediate families of such persons.

You must be over the age of 18 years of age at the time of lodging your Entry Content in any competition and a legal resident of Australia.

 

Entries

To enter the promotion, eligible entrants must comply with entry terms and conditions contained in the Competition Rules and the Competition Terms during the Competition Period.

Entry into any competition constitutes acceptance of Competition Rules and Competition Terms.

All Entry Content must be original, unique and belong solely to you.

By entering any of our competitions, displaying, publishing, or otherwise posting any Entry Content on or through our website, you hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, worldwide license to use, adapt, publicly display, sublicense, modify, create derivative works and distribute such Entry Content without the requirement to make payment to you or any third party or the need to seek any third-party permission.

Entry details will be used for the purposes of the competition and may be used for further marketing activities. The winners agree to the use of their name, image and photograph(s) for publicity and promotional purposes, without compensation.

 All entries will be judged based on literary and creative merit as well as originality. In the event that the Entry Content is not unique, original and/or if we have reason to believe it is not owned by you, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to remove your Entry Content from the competition and you forfeit the right any prize or compensation.

An eligible entrant may enter the competition by submitting their details and Entry Content in the manner outlined in the Competition Rules. Entry may be dependent on the Entrant subscribing to www.plannersavenue.com email newsletters, a Facebook ‘like’ or other requirement as specified in the individual Competition Rules.

Only one entry permitted per person.

We reserve the right to disqualify any Entry Content or Entrants that we believe have an unfair advantage or if we feel the entry submission may not be original, unique, or may breach any legislation, regulation or any of our terms. We have the sole and absolute discretion to disqualify and terminate an Entrant from any further and future competitions for breach of any of the Competition Rules and/or Competition Terms at any time.

Any entry for a Competition which Planners Avenue determines is incomplete, illegible or incomprehensible, or fails to meet the requirements for that entry under these terms and conditions or the Competition Rules for the Competition, will be rejected. Although Planners Avenue will endeavour to notify any Entrant whose entry is rejected, Planners Avenue will not be responsible for failing to provide such notice.
