US$10,000 Jewellery Giveaway Lucky Draw 2024-25
1. Information on how to enter and the Reader’s Digest Jewellery Giveaway Lucky Draws and Prizes, form part of these Conditions of Entry. Entry into the Reader’s Digest Jewellery Giveaway Lucky Draws (Promotion) is deemed to be an acceptance of these Conditions of Entry.
2. The Promotion commences 12:00am SGT 1 April 2024 and closes 11.59 pm SGT 31 March 2025 (Promotion Period).
3. Entry is open to residents of Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Entrants under 18 years old must have parental/guardian approval to enter and further, the parent/guardian of the entrant must read and consent to these Conditions of Entry. Employees and the immediate families of the Promoter and organisations or agencies associated with or benefiting from the Promotion are ineligible to enter.
4. To enter the Promotion, entrants must place a qualifying order for subscription with the Promoter during the Promotion Period. A qualifying order is a 12 month/6 issues subscription or 24 month/12 issues subscription (new subscriptions, renewals of existing subscriptions, and gift subscriptions accepted). Each 12 month/6 issues of subscription equals one entry, which means that a 24 month/12 issues subscription will be two entries. Each additional subscription (for example gift subscription) will be treated as an additional entry. For example, one 12 month/6 issues subscription and one 12 month/6 issues gift subscription would be together two entries. Each qualifying order received by the Promoter will be entitled to a separate entry into each of the subsequent Promotion Draws conducted following the date of receipt of the qualifying order.
5. Incomplete, indecipherable or illegible orders or entries will be deemed invalid. (Subject to local laws) where a qualifying order is subsequently cancelled by the entrant and/or a refund and return is processed for that order, the order will not be accepted an entry in the Promotion. Qualifying orders for gift subscriptions will be accepted as entries for the donor of the gift (the payer). Multiple entries are permitted provided that each entry is submitted with a separate qualifying order. Orders are deemed to be received at the time of receipt by the Promoter. Records of the Promoter are final and conclusive as to time of receipt and validity of the qualifying order and entry to the Promotion.

If there is a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the Promoter reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the identity of the entrant.
