3.2 Subject to subsequent verification of their details and a security check, each winner will be contacted via the phone number they provided, at around 20:00 PM (PST) on that Eligible Date. The Promoter shall not be liable in the event that any notification is not received by a winning entrant due to any failure to provide the correct phone number or due to their phone being switched off, faulty or having no access to sufficient signal.
3.3 Subject to Section 3.4, the winners will have until 20:00 PM (PST) the day after being notified to claim their Prize in person from the location that they completed the F1 Simulator Experience (the “Deadline”).
3.4 If a winner does not or is not able, for any reason, to claim, accept and/or collect a Prize by the Deadline, the Promoter reserves the right to award the Prize to another entrant and the previous winning entrant waives all claims against the Promoter in respect of the Prize Contest.
3.5 Each winner warrants that they will comply with any applicable laws in connection with claiming and receiving a Prize, including without limitation any taxation laws and regulations.
