Prizes are not redeemable for cash. Hellopeter reserves the right to substitute any prize for another prize of like value at any time and any reason beyond its control requiring this. The prize may itself be subject to specific terms and conditions as imposed by the sponsor of the prize. The winner is solely responsible for complying with such terms and conditions. If the winner is chosen and there are noted irregularities (i.e. the person does not exist, is not delivered to a person, or is forwarded to a person with a different identity etc.) the winner will be disqualified and a new winner will be drawn. The decision of Hellopeter will be final and binding in this regard, and no correspondence shall be entered into regarding the decision.
