Where booking with a third-party provider, the Winner or Runner Up must get in contact with the Promoter before booking to confirm all items of the experience (e.g. flights, travel dates, number of people) so that the Promoter can ensure full delivery of the Prize on the desired dates, as often these items are booked with different providers and require co-ordination. In instances where the Winner or Runner up fails to confirm the details with the Promoter before booking the experience and complications arise, the Promoter will substitute up to the total value of the original Prize where possible, but will have no further liability to the Winner or Runner Up.
  13. The Promoter does not in any way guarantee or give any warranties as to the value of the Prize, its condition, history or any other matters associated with the Prize.
