PARTICIPATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Promoter will hide two hundred and forty (240) prizes at the “eBay Big Deal Hunt” (“Event”), which will take place at a secret location in Sydney, NSW (“Secret Location”) from 10.00 until 13.00 on 24 August 2014 (“Competition Period”). The Promoter will release a series of clues as to the exact location of the Secret Location between 06.00 on 18 August 2014 and 08.59 on 24 August 2014 (“Clue Period”). All times indicated in these Terms and Conditions are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (as per local Sydney time) using a 24-hour clock.

To participate:

During the Clue Period, visit the eBay.com.au Facebook Page (at www.facebook.com/eBay.com.au) and listen to the Nova969 radio station (Sydney) to find/hear clues regarding the Secret Location;
Once individuals have deciphered the clues regarding the location of the Secret Location, visit the Secret Location during the Competition Period; and then
Search the Secret Location during the Competition Period for the opportunity to uncover the hidden prize/s. The first participant to physically locate each prize at the Secret Location during the Competition Period will win that prize.

Should the Promoter be made aware of two (2) or more participants finding a prize at the same time, the Promoter will call a “tie-breaker football challenge”. The challenge will be a game of skill and will involve each tied participant throwing a football through a hole on the promotional challenge board. If the football goes through the hole, they will be eligible to continue to the next round. If the football does not go through the hole, they will be knocked out of the challenge and will not be eligible to go onto the next round. In the event that no tied participant gets the football through the hole in any particular first round, all tied participants will continue onto the next round. The tied participants will continue to take turns throwing the football through the hole until there is only one participant remaining. The participant to be remaining at the end of the challenge will be deemed the winner and will be awarded the prize.

PRIZES

The following prizes will be available to be won at the Event:

Two hundred (200) x $100 eBay vouchers;
Twenty-four (24) x $250 eBay vouchers;
Fourteen (14) x $500 eBay vouchers; and
Two (2) x $1,000 eBay vouchers.

There is no limit to how many prize vouchers a participant is able to find and win during the Competition Period.

The total RRP of all prizes available to be won/found in this competition is $35,000.

Each eBay voucher entitles the winner to a discount (up to the maximum value of the voucher) off any purchase made in a single transaction on www.ebay.com.au. The vouchers must be redeemed between 10.00 on 24 August 2014 and 23.59 on 31 August 2014. Any vouchers which are not redeemed before 23.59 on 31 August 2014 will automatically expire. There is no minimum spend for use of the vouchers. Each prize voucher will contain instructions for use of the voucher; these instructions are hereby incorporated into, and form part of, these Terms and Conditions.

To redeem a voucher, winners must enter the redemption code contained on the prize voucher into the redemption code box during the checkout process on ebay.com.au. The redemption code requires payment with PayPal in order to take effect. Winners’ eBay.com.au and PayPal accounts must be active at the time of redemption (not suspended nor made inactive by eBay or PayPal) and both be registered under the same email address. The redemption code on the prize voucher must be used in one transaction and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or coupon. Prize vouchers have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn into a winner’s bank account.

Any prize/s that are not located by participants during the Competition Period will be forfeited and will not be distributed by the Promoter.

GENERAL
