4.5 The Promoter reserves the right at its sole discretion to suspend or cancel the participation of the winner and/or their guest due to non-compliance with any security procedures or any inappropriate behaviour or misconduct, which in the sole opinion of the Promoter, brings the Promoter’s reputation into disrepute.
