Instructions on how to enter and prizes form part of these Terms and Conditions. Participation in the MyPanasonic Incentive promotion (“Promotion”) is deemed acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. This Promotion is not valid in conjunction with any other offer or promotion involving Panasonic products.

The Promotion begins on 09/01/2012 and ends at 11.59pm AEDST on 04/01/2013 (“Promotion Period”).

This Promotion is open to all Australian residents who are natural persons aged 18 years and over. Employees and directors of the Promoter, the Promoter’s related companies or any agencies involved in this Promotion, and the immediate families of each of those persons are eligible to participate in this Promotion provided that they purchase a new Panasonic product.

To enter, eligible individuals must purchase any Panasonic product through a participating Australian retail outlet during the Promotion Period and register their Panasonic product purchased on MyPanasonic online. Purchases from 30/11/2011 will also be accepted and eligible for registration for the purposes of entry.

Multiple entries are permitted, but are limited to one (1) entry per Panasonic product purchased through a participating retail outlet within Australia, and each entry must be submitted separately for each purchase.

Incomplete, indecipherable or illegible entries will be deemed invalid.
