The following rules are applicable to all competitions, promotions and offers conducted by or on behalf of infoQuest. These rules will be deemed incorporated in each competition or promotion except to the extent that any instruction in an individual competition or promotion provides otherwise.

These rules, which may be amended from time to time, and any such specific instructions, shall be binding on all entrants.

• All competitions are open to RSA residents aged 18 or over unless any other age restriction is specified. Employees, directors, members and partners of IQ, IQ contractors, promoters, and agents, and any company involved in the competition, and agents and members of the immediate family of the above people, and suppliers of goods and services in connection with the competition will not be eligible to participate.
• Entries must be made in accordance with the competition instructions. They are invalid if they are received any later than the specified closing date and/or time.
  • All entry requirements must be fulfilled.
  • IQ reserves the right to cancel the competition at any stage, if deemed necessary in their opinion, and if circumstances arise outside of their control.

• Any referred addresses must be confirmed by the recipient/referred person utilising the double opt in/verification process.
• Prizes will be awarded in accordance with the order of priority as stated in the individual competition.
• IQ will endeavour at all times to make contact with winners within 24 hours of the selection of a winner by telephone or email. However if a winner fails to confirm receipt of the notification of winnings within 72 hours, IQ reserves the right to select another winner. The initial winner will then no longer be eligible for the prize.
• No correspondence will be entered into. The decision of the Judges shall be final and unchallengeable and in their absolute discretion they may declare void any entry or the competition itself should they consider that there are no entries reaching a required standard, whereupon they can award prizes or not, as they think fit.

• IQ reserves the right to dispose of any prize/s that have not been collected within a one (1) month period after notification and/or acceptance of winnings.
• All entries, however submitted shall become the property of IQ and will not be returned. The winners (including runners-up) are deemed to have assigned all intellectual property rights of their winning entries to IQ and to have waived their moral rights.
• There will be no other alternative to the prize offered and prizes are not transferable unless otherwise specified.
• IQ will not be liable for any circumstances beyond its reasonable control that prevent a prize being taken up by a winner. IQ excludes liability to the extent permitted by law for any cost, claims or losses howsoever caused that arise by reason of any person's entry into a competition or the award to them of a prize.
• By entering the competition/promotion entrants are agreeing to abide by these rules and any conditions set out in the competition instructions.
