We reserve the right to alter, amend or terminate the Promotion or any aspect of it at any time and without prior notice.

12. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Promotion Terms, we shall have the sole discretion to determine your eligibility under these Promotion Terms, including, without limitation, whether or not you are a Qualifying Applicant.

14. Any dispute or situation not covered by the terms of this Promotion will be resolved by our management in a manner it deems to be fairest to all concerned and that decision shall be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the right to refuse the pay out under the Promotion if we have reasonable belief that there has been any co-operation, collusion and/or organisation of transactions from the same source, or if we have reasonable belief that the Promotion is being abused in any way.
