7. Travel arrangements and costs of attending the Pitch Stage

a. Participants are solely responsible for ensuring that they are able to attend the Pitch Stage on the relevant dates, including having valid passports and any visas required. No alternative dates are available.

b. Promoter will be responsible for arranging at its own cost each participant’s travel to and from the Pitch Stage, to include economy air or overland transport (as applicable) and overnight accommodation (one (1) night.

Promoter shall not be responsible for any costs where the participant makes their own travel, accommodation or other arrangements. Participants will be asked for a credit card on check in at the hotel to cover any extras, so they must be able to provide one and cover these costs.

c. This Competition is time sensitive and therefore if a participant fails to provide, within 14 days of Promoter’s request, sufficient details enabling Promoter to make the relevant bookings for attendance at the Pitch Stage, Promoter reserves the right to disqualify the participant from the Pitch Stage.

f. Promoter will have no liability to the participant if the participant is unable to attend the Pitch Stage, or is denied entry to, or is asked to leave, any venue or event as a result of a failure to abide by these Rules, any applicable venue or event terms and/or any applicable law, or as a result of inappropriate behaviour.

8. Prizes: The prize is a cash sum of 10,000 Singapore Dollars (“SGD”), which will be paid by bank transfer to a bank account (in the winner’s own name) within 30 days of Promoter’s receipt of a valid prize claim. In addition to the cash sum, the Promoter will have the winning watch design made into physical units for commercial sale and will give the winning entrant one of the watches (“Prize”). If the winning watch design was made by more than one person, they shall share the cash sum and draw lots to determine which of them shall receive the watch. The Promoter reserves the right to make whatever changes it considers necessary or appropriate to make the winning design commercially viable in its sole discretion.
The winner will be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes (included withholding tax) applicable to the Prize.

9. Prize claims: The winner must claim their Prize by providing any information requested by Promoter within 30 days of the request, which will include details of the bank account into which the cash sum Prize should be transferred. The winner will be solely responsible for providing the correct information to Promoter and should therefore check all information provided carefully. If amendments are required as a result of a winner’s error, the winner is responsible for any administrative costs incurred and Promoter is not responsible for errors made by the winner.

14. Cancellation and variation: Promoter reserves the right to vary, suspend or cancel the Competition and/or these Rules if it considers it necessary or appropriate to do so at any stage, including if there is any actual or anticipated breach of applicable law or if variation, suspension or cancellation is necessary due to an event outside Promoter’s reasonable control. In the event of cancellation, the Prize may be awarded to a winner drawn from entries received prior to cancellation.

19. Severance and waiver: If any part of these Rules is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of these Rules will not be affected. Promoter’s failure to enforce any term of these Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision.

20. Disputes/Governing law: Subject to a participant’s right to bring legal proceedings against the Promoter, if there is a dispute about the Competition or these Rules, Promoter’s decisions are final. If there is a dispute between these Rules and any other document referred to in these Rules, these Rules take precedence to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
