  6. Before nominations are submitted, the clinician must ensure that the client has signed the consent and privacy information section on the client pre-assessment form. (It is mandatory for this form to be completed by all clients when they first get a hearing screen or test in clinic).
  7. The Promoter reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of nominations and the details of clients (including a client’s identity, age and place of residence) and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who the Promoter has reason to believe has breached any of these Terms & Conditions, tampered with the nomination process or engaged in any unlawful or other improper misconduct calculated to jeopardise the fair and proper conduct of the give back program. Errors and omissions may be accepted at the Promoter’s discretion.
  8. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights (including but not limited to those under these Terms & Conditions) at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights. The Promoter’s legal rights to recover damages or other compensation from any individual associated with the Give Back program are reserved.
  9. Incomplete or indecipherable nominations completed by clinicians will be deemed invalid.
  10. All nominations will be collated on a quarterly basis by the Promoter and sent to the judging panel for review.

  14. The Promoter’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
  15. If for any reason the recipient does not take and/or redeem the reward by the time stipulated by the Promoter (fitted within 6 months of being informed they are a Give Back recipient), then the reward will be forfeited.
