form part of these terms and conditions (Terms of entry). The Terms must be read in

Terms of entry. Where there is any inconsistency between these Terms and the
Schedule, the Schedule prevails. Participation in this Promotion is deemed
acceptance of these Terms of entry.

the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant who the Promoter has
reason to believe has breached any of Terms of entry, tampered with the entry
process or engaged in any unlawful or other improper misconduct calculated to
jeopardise fair and proper conduct of the promotion. Errors and omissions will be
accepted at the Promoter’s discretion. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its
rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. The Promoter’s legal
rights to recover damages or other compensation from such an offender are
reserved.
6. Incomplete, indecipherable, or illegible entries will be deemed invalid.
7. Only one (1) entry is permitted per person.

entry will be individually judged based on literary and creative merit of the answer
provided to the promotional question.

Trial, Review and Keep.
13. Each selected winner agrees to participate in a Trial Period of fourteen (14) days
upon receipt of the SR-CN188WST or SR-DF181WST. During the Trial Period, winners
must use the SR-CN188WST or SR-DF181WST in accordance with its instruction

to ensure it is clear that their review has resulted from participation in the trial.

SR-DF181WST they test, and any review provided will be a true reflection of the
