PRIZES AND REWARDS
The PressPass Research Panel offers different types of rewards
for participation in panel surveys. These terms and conditions
apply to all prizes that we offer.
PRIZES
Chances to win various prizes are offered to every person who
completes a survey, that has been invited to take part in by
invitation email, by the closing time specified in the invitation
email.
An important element of each prize offer is that if you are drawn
as a winner of any prize, your membership details must be correct
and up to date at the time of the draw as shown in your log in area
at www.presspass.co.nz.
We reserve the right to ask you to confirm your details at any
such time that you are contacted as a prize winner and if your
details are not correct and up to date, you will forfeit any rights
you have to the prize.
We offer two different types of prize draws.
Type 1: 'Survey Prizes': For some surveys we
will randomly select a specified number of survey respondents who
will win a prize or prize voucher. These Survey Prizes are detailed
at the beginning of any survey which is offering Survey Prizes.
Type 2: Periodically we may offer additional
prizes that are available either exclusively to members of the
presspass Research Panel or to presspass Research Panel members as
well as members of other Reader Panels operated by Fairfax
Media.
These prizes will be detailed by email to all members at the
time they are offered.
General Terms and Conditions That Apply to Prize
Draws
All draws will take place within one week of the close of the
survey, month, or other stated prize period and the winner(s) will
be notified using the email address in their membership
records.
Winners have two working weeks to respond to the email to
confirm that they wish to accept the prize and to provide their
delivery details. If a winner does not respond within two weeks,
their prize is automatically forfeited and a second prize winner
will be drawn. The same rule applies for any second or subsequent
winner drawn.
We will not enter any dialogue with anyone who has not responded
within two weeks, no matter what the reason for any delay,
including but not limited to if the persons email is not working,
has changed or if they are not clearing their email for some reason
etc.
The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be
entered into.
The prizes are as stated on this website or in survey invitation
emails and cannot be exchanged for cash.
We are not liable for any costs, expenses or liability incurred
by the prize winner with respect to the prize.
Completion of any survey for which a prize is offered is
acceptance of these terms and conditions.
We reserve the right to alter the structure of prize rewards and
will detail any changes at www.presspass.co.nz
SHOPPING VOUCHER REWARDS
As well as prize draws, we also offer credits towards shopping
vouchers for participation in some of our surveys.
We do not offer Shopping Vouchers Credits for participation in
our short "Hot Topic" surveys, but we do offer them for our longer
surveys. When we email you surveys that will earn you a Shopping
Voucher Credit this will be clearly stated in the survey invitation
email.
The amount of Shopping Voucher Credit that you earn from any
survey will also be stated in the survey invitation email and when
you complete this survey within the stipulated timeframe, the
amount of the credit will be added to your Shopping Voucher Credit
total.
At any time your Shopping Voucher Credit Total can be viewed by
logging into your membership area.
When your Shopping Voucher Credit Total reaches $10 or more you
can click on the 'Request Voucher' area in your membership area to
request us to send you a voucher from the Shopping Voucher list.
When you do this we will ask for your current postal address and
this address will only be used to mail you your Shopping
Voucher.
Vouchers will only be issued in multiples of $10 so when we
issue a $10 (or multiple of $10) Shopping Voucher to you we will
reset your Voucher Reward Total by the amount of the voucher or
vouchers issued to you. This may leave you with a remaining
Shopping Voucher Credit total.
Vouchers will be mailed to you within 28 days of us receiving
your request.
In the General Terms and Conditions of PressPass Research Panel
membership, we reserve the right to cancel your membership at our
discretion. If this occurs, the amount in your Shopping Voucher
Credit Total may be voided or transferred to a registered charity
at our discretion (see below).
