1. subject to subclause f. and g. below, visit sonypromotions.co.nz/dicashback , and follow the prompts to the promotion claim page, completing and submitting the online form (“Online Claim Form”) within the Redemption Period. This includes:
1. loading (a) an image or copy of the proof of purchase document (such as a receipt or tax invoice) for the Eligible Product and (b) an image of the Eligible Product serial number that is stamped on the physical product; and
2. inputting the requested details, including title, full legal name, post code, contact number, current and valid email address, name of Eligible Product purchased, Qualifying Purchase date, Qualifying Purchase tax invoice or receipt number, retailer where Eligible Product purchased, and the Eligible Product serial number.

The name of the claimant on the Online Claim Form must match the name on the proof of purchase document. If any of the details submitted as part of the proof of purchase documentation do not match the Online Claim Form details submitted by the claimant and received by the Promoter, the claim will be deemed invalid.

2. If any of the uploaded images / documents submitted are incomplete, individuals will receive an email from the Promoter (to the email address nominated on their Online Claim Form), requesting them to resupply an updated image or copy of the proof of purchase document and/or an image of the serial number to verify their Qualifying Purchase (“Claim Email”).
3. Once all required documentation has been received (by no later than 2 February 2025) and the claim has been validated and approved, the cashback amount will be transferred via EFT to the claimant’s chosen bank account within 28 business days.   If a payment to a claimant fails, the Promoter will contact the claimant (at their email address nominated on their Online Claim Form), to give them an opportunity to verify, and if necessary update, that the bank account details they provided in their Online Claim Form are correct.  The claimant will have 10 business days from the date of this email to respond to the Promoter.  If the claimant does not respond to the Promoter within this timeframe, and/or is unable to make arrangements to facilitate the payment of the cashback amount by the Promoter, then the Promoter will not be responsible or liable to the claimant to finalise the receipt of their cashback amount. 
4. If, due to an error by the successful claimant, the Promoter transfers the cashback amount to the incorrect bank account, the Promoter will not be responsible or liable to the successful claimant to reissue replacement funds to the successful claimant in order to rectify the error.
5. The successful claimant agrees that he or she will not bring a claim against the Promoter, its employees, directors, agents and, or contractors (including its related bodies corporate and/or its related bodies corporates’ employees, agents or contractors) to recover the cashback amount mistakenly sent to the wrong bank account due to the error of the successful claimant.
6. Any claimants that are unable to complete the claim process online utilising the Online Claim Form (as outlined above) may contact the Promoter within the Redemption Period (or by a time otherwise stipulated by the Promoter) via email sonypromotions@thinkwink.com.au to arrange an alternative method of claim submission.  
7. If a claimant is unable to provide the serial number of the Eligible Product at the time of submitting the Online Claim Form due to the Eligible Product being on back order (that is, paid for but not received by the claimant), the claimant must provide the serial number and serial number image to the Promoter by updating their Online Claim Form or emailing the Promoter by 2 February 2025 to finalise their claim.

8. Incomplete, indecipherable or illegible claims will be deemed invalid.
