Winners will be selected in the manner and at the time specified by Silver Fern Farms in the Specific Rules or on the relevant social media platform used for the relevant Competition.

We will attempt to advise each winner of their winning entry via the social media platform that the Competition is being run on (e.g. via our Facebook or Instagram page for the Competition) by the date set out in the Specific Rules for the Competition, or if no date is specified, within 7 days of the Competition ending. If you do not respond to our social media post or any other communication from us regarding your winning entry within the required timeframe, then the prize may be forfeited at Silver Fern Farms’ option and a new winner reselected. If a new winner for a prize is reselected at Silver Fern Farms’ discretion, any replacement winner will forfeit the prize if they do not respond within 24 hours of being contacted via the relevant social media platform. Silver Fern Farms shall have no liability for any winner's failure to receive notices due to spam, junk e-mail or other security settings or for a winner's provision of incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information.
Winners will be notified in advance if prizes for any Competition are to be sent by courier. Couriers may be instructed to have prizes signed for on receipt and failure to obtain a signature may result in the prize being returned to Silver Fern Farms and another winner being reselected at Silver Fern Farms’ discretion.
Silver Fern Farms' decision on all matters in relation to any Competition is final and binding and no correspondence will be entered into in relation to such decisions.
