Proof of sending an entry does not constitute proof of receipt of that entry and the computer of the individual administering the Competition on behalf of the Promoter will be the official timekeeper for all matters relating to the Competition.
4. ENTRY: (a) GENERAL There are two (2) methods to enter the Competition: Subscription Entry or Online Entry. Entrants may only enter the Competition through one (1) of these two (2) entry methods. Entrants must follow the instructions set out on the Website, Subscription Entry Website and/or Online Entry Website (collectively, “Competition Instructions”) to enter.

6. PRIZE: (a) GENERAL The Winners will each win the Prize. Each Prize is strictly non-transferable, non-exchangeable and may not be re-sold. No cash or any other alternative is available for any Prize. If any Prize becomes unavailable for any reason, the Promoter reserves the right to substitute it with a prize that the Promoter reasonably deems to be of at least the same value. The Prize may be subject to additional terms and conditions as specified by issuers, including without limitation, automatic renewal of GolfPass Memberships at the start of each applicable renewal period unless Winners terminate or cancel their subscriptions in accordance with GolfPass Subscription Agreement, located at https://www.golfpass.com/terms-of-use, before the relevant renewal period begins. Additional restrictions may apply. The Prize will be awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied by the Promoter. The Prize does not include and/or cover any and all costs, taxes, fees, expenses, including but not limited to: insurance (including but not limited to travel, car, medical insurance), ground transportation (other than as described above), parking, security and airport fees, meals, gratuities, and souvenirs, any visa-related costs, medical costs and/or arrangements not expressly specified in the Prize description (“Ancillary Costs”). Each Winner is solely responsible for any and all Ancillary Costs connected with their Prize and the Promoter is not liable to reimburse any Winner for any Ancillary Costs such Winner may incur. The Promoter makes no representation or warranty in relation to the Prize and, to the fullest extent permissible by law, the Promoter will have no liability to the Winners in relation to the Prize, the Prize’s fitness for purpose, merchantability or otherwise. The Promoter will have no liability in respect of the Prize if it is lost or stolen during or following delivery. (b) CHEQUES, VOUCHERS AND GIFTCARDS If the Prize is, or includes, a cheque, voucher, store credit and/or giftcard, these will be issued in the name of the Winner only and cannot be issued to any third party. The Promoter will have no liability in respect of such a Prize if a third party refuses to accept a cheque, voucher, store credit and/or giftcard because it has been tampered with, defaced, duplicated, damaged in any way and/or because it is no longer valid. The terms and conditions of any third party that issued and/or administers the cheque, voucher, store credit and/or giftcard will apply and the Promoter will have no liability in respect of such a Prize if a third party’s terms and conditions result in the winner being unable to use any element of the Prize or restrict Winner’s use of the Prize in any way.

Within the Notification Period, the Promoter, in its sole discretion, may also notify non-winning entrants that they were not selected to be Winners and/or provide such non-winning entrants with information regarding their Free Trial, as applicable, by sending an email to the email address provided by such non-winning entrants at the time of entering the Competition or at the time of registration on the Website, Subscription Entry Website and/or Online Entry Website (as applicable).
