Warranty by Entrants. Entrants warrant that if an entry features or refers to any other person, the Entrant has obtained all necessary consents from such person.

Legal. These terms and conditions will be construed according to the laws of New South Wales and Entrants submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State. “Including” is not a word of limitation. Failure by the Promoter to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights.
