Terms & Conditions

Terms of Access

These terms and conditions ("Terms") set out how you may enter into, and continue to participate in, the Jimungo Virtual Rugby competition ("Competition") and Jimungo Community site ("Community"). Please read through these Terms carefully. If you do not accept the Terms, do not enter the Competition or the Community. If you do not accept any changes to these Terms do not continue to participate in the Competition or the Community. By entering and continuing to participate in the Competition or the Community, you are indicating your acceptance of the Terms (including any changes) and your willingness to be bound by them.

Introduction

By entering the Competition and Community, you confirm that you are an individual who is at least 18 years old, or, if you are under 18, that you have parental/guardian consent to do so. No participant under the age of 18 years can win the grand prize.

The terms 'you' and 'user' are used, for the purposes of the Terms, to refer to any individual or entity participating in the Competition and Community. The expressions 'us', 'we' or 'our' refer to New Zealand Rugby Union Incorporated ("New Zealand Rugby Union") and Jimungo Limited ("Jimungo").

This is not a gambling site - it is a competition site.

Country of Residence

The Competition and Community is open to any resident of any country who is 18 years and over, provided that it is legal for that person to enter in their own country, state or jurisdiction.

Promoter and Organiser

The promoter of the Competition is Jimungo Limited.

The organiser of the Competition is the New Zealand Rugby Union.

Employees of the New Zealand Rugby Union, Jimungo Limited ("Jimungo "), and their agencies may play the Jimungo Virtual Rugby competition, but they will not be eligible for any of the public prizes.

The Promoter, Jimungo, and their agents and contractors shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever which is suffered (including but not limited to indirect or consequential loss) or for personal injury which is suffered or sustained, as a result of taking any of the prizes, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

Changes

We may, at any time, amend or delete any of these Terms and/or the "rules of the game" ("Rules"). Please ensure that you check the Terms and the "Rules" on a regular basis to review any changes we have made. Your continued participation in the Competition and Community following the publication of any changes to the Terms and/or the Rules confirms your acceptance of those changes.

Registration

To enter the Competition and Community, you need to register and provide accurate and complete registration information. It is your responsibility to update and maintain that information by advising us of changes to your details as appropriate. Registration is for a single user only. On registration, you will need to select a "player name" and password. We will not permit:

• any other person to register using your player name and player code;
• any other person sharing your player name and password;
• any offensive words or word strings (we reserve the right to edit your player details should we find any of your player details offensive).

When you register to participate in the Competition and Community, you will be obliged to check a box confirming that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms. You will not be allowed to register unless you have indicated acceptance of the Terms and any other terms and conditions which may apply.

You must keep your password confidential at all times. Any entry or picks submitted using your name and password will be deemed to have been submitted by you, and we do not have any responsibility or liability for any entry or picks submitted using your details.

You may share one email address with up to a maximum of 5 of your friends and family (i.e. 6 participants may share one email address). Each entrant, using the same email address, must use a different "player name" and "password" otherwise registration will be denied.  Outside of this email address limitation there is no limit to the number of entries a participant can have in the competition.

On registration for Jimungo Virtual Rugby Competition you agree that we can hold your registration details so we can invite you to participate in future seasons or tournaments.

Competition

The Competition will begin on or before July 30 2010.

The Competition closes on November 20 2010.

All winning entries will be notified by email no later than midday on the Monday following the relevant round. Any game points awarded will be attributed, on an accumulation basis, to the successful "player name".

Prizes

The winner of the Grand Prize will be the participant who has accumulated most points during the Competition under the one player name. The winner of the Grand Prize will be notified by email. In the event of a tie between one or more participants, the winner of the Grand Prize will be selected by random draw between those highest scoring participants by the judges.

In the event of a tie between one or more participants for any other prize, the winner will be decided by the person who has invited the most friends to join the competition.  In the continued event of a tie a random draw between those highest scoring participants by the judges will be undertaken. No prize may be redeemed for cash or any other reward. No prize may be transferred.

We reserve the right to make any changes to any prizes and to provide the winner with a substitute prize.

The judges' decision is final and no correspondence whatsoever will be entered into regarding the Competition.

Prizes are available to New Zealand residents only. International participants are not eligible for prizes. Participants must be in New Zealand to collect the prize.

We will not be liable for delays in the delivery of any prizes, or the non-delivery of any prizes.

We reserve the right to make whatever enquiries we see fit to prove the identity and eligibility of any participant and/or winner.

No participant under the age of 18 years can win a prize.

Winners will be notified by phone/mail. The Promoter and Jimungo have no responsibility or liability for the inability to contact prize winners due to illegibility or error in information provided by the entrant or subsequent change of address, email address or phone number. If the Promoter is unable to contact any winner within 21 days of the draw date, that prize will be redrawn.

Submission of competition entries

All competition entries must be submitted via this on-line website. An entry will only be deemed to be accepted upon receipt by you of confirmation, from us, that your selection has been received.

All entries must be made by 7.30pm on the close off day for  each round to which the entry relates. No entries will be accepted after these times. Participants are entitled to 'default picks' on two occasions if they do not make their picks in time.

Winning team selections and winning margin selections may be changed any number of times, up until the 7.30pm on the close off day for the round. All updated selections must be re-submitted. An updated entry will only be deemed to be accepted upon receipt by you of confirmation, from us, that your selection has been received.

Any entry which is incomplete, illegible or otherwise does not comply with the Rules and/or these Terms will be disqualified.

We will not have any responsibility or liability for late or undelivered entries, communications or for any technical failure, malfunction or difficulty, or any other event causing disruption to or corruption of the Competition
