5. Mechanism & Winning Criteria (Game of Skill)

It is not a “trade promotion lottery” for the purpose of the Gambling Regulation Act 2003.

Customer Winning Criteria

  • The Customer Prize will be awarded to the eligible and participating Customer who purchases the most Hiraoka branded products from Nolan during the Promotional Period (“Winning Customer”), to be calculated by comparing the Net Sales of Hiraoka branded products of all Customers (“Customer Winning Criteria”).

Sales Team Winning Criteria

  • The Sales Team Prize will be awarded to the eligible and participating Sales Team Member who, in respect of the Winning Customer, was responsible for the highest proportion of Net Sales of Hiraoka branded products to that Winning Customer as a percentage of the total of all Net Sales of all products sold by that Sales Team Member (“Sales Team Winning Criteria”). For the purpose of this calculation Customer sales will only be allocated to the individual Sales Team Member responsible at the time of order placement     

Customer Runner Up Criteria

  • The Customer Runner Up Prize will be awarded to the eligible and participating Customer who purchases the second most Hiraoka branded products from Nolan during the Promotional Period (“Winning Customer”), to be calculated by comparing the Net Sales of Hiraoka branded products (“Customer Winning Criteria”).

Net Sales Calculation:

  • For the purpose of this clause, “Net Sales” of any product is to be calculated as gross invoiced sales made to a relevant Customer of that product, minus returns, refunds, credits, tax, and cancelled orders processed before 30th June 2027 (“Net Sales”).

Tie-Breaker

  •  In the event of a tie between two Sales Team Members or two Customer accounts, the winner of the relevant Prize will be determined based on the highest percentage growth in Net Sales of Hiraoka branded products made to the relevant Customer, during the Promotional Period (as compared against the same period in the previous financial year).
