Furthermore, the Subscriber will be solely responsible for all products and items used by them. Accordingly, the Promoters take no responsibility for any loss or damage, or loss of any airtime associated with the sim card and/or cellphone number used in the competition. In the event of theft or loss of the Subscriber’s cellphone, airtime and/or sim card, such items must be replaced at the subscriber’s own cost, and the Subscriber is obliged to report such loss or theft to the South African Police Services immediately.

8.3 All persons participating in the competition hereby expressly indemnify the Promoters in this regard and shall hold them harmless from all and any claims arising from or as a result of the above reasons. This means that even in a situation where the promoters are responsible for losses or damage to the Subscriber or another as a result of the Subscriber entering the competition, the Subscriber is promising to protect and/or cover and/or insure the Promoters from such loss – even to pay it themselves (as the Subscriber) if necessary.

8.4 The Promoters may end or change the Competition at any time as they wish, and these terms and conditions may be changed by the Promoters to include new terms or delete old ones.

8.5 In awarding prizes or deciding the outcome of a Competition the decision of the Promoters and their interpretation of the Competition rules shall be in their sole and absolute discretion, i.e. as they wish.

8.6 The Promoters may decide to limit the number of times a prize pool may be split between winners if they decide that splitting it too many times may make the split amount meaningless. What this means as an example is if there is a prize pool of R1000 and 100 winners, the Promoters may decide to pay only the first 50 winners so that the prizes are more meaningful.

8.7 When the terms and conditions mention the Competition it also means each individual competition or round of the Competition that takes place at frequent intervals, or any part of it. In other words, these terms and conditions cover all aspects of the Competition.

8.8 The Promoters are not responsible for the Competition being interrupted and/or failing for any reason or for any interruption in the network, the internet or the Subscriber’s handset compatibility. This also applies to network congestion or slow internet speed.
