GENERAL BACKGROUND

NO FEE, DONATION OR PURCHASE IS REQUIRED TO ENTER OR WIN

The following clarified terms and conditions govern participation in the Inqola FEED Innovation Prize.

Participation and/or entry in the Inqola FEED Innovation Prize (“Programme” or “Prize”) constitutes each entrant’s representation and warranty that it fully and unconditionally agrees to be bound by, and is in full compliance with, the Prize Terms and Conditions. If an entrant cannot agree to be bound by, and to represent and warrant, full compliance with, the Prize Terms and Conditions, the entrant is not eligible for the Programme.

Each entrant bears sole responsibility for confirming that it can participate fully in the Programme, including the receipt of any Prize, under the laws of the jurisdiction(s) under which the entrant is organised and resides.

The Programme is void where prohibited by law.

Please direct any questions or communications about the Prize Terms and Conditions or the Programme to competition@feed.org.za. During the duration of the Programme, there may be clarifications issued applicable to the Prize Terms and Conditions. To be notified of any clarifications in a timely manner “follow” the Programme via the Programme site.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Simanye Trust is the Sponsor of the Programme. Food Equity, Equality and Democracy (“FEED”) is host and administrator of the Programme, with strategic and operational support from Southern Africa Food Lab, Seriti Institute, Izindaba Zokudla and UJ-PEETS. The Sponsor and the administrators/organisers collectively shall be referred to in these Prize Terms and Conditions as “Programme Entities.”

The Programme is an invitation to develop a solution that positively impacts part(s) of the food system in South Africa, addressing local economies, circularity, education, supply chains, agroecology and capacity building.

ELIGIBILITY

The Programme is open to entities that are legally registered and organised in South Africa, including organisations, universities, governments, NGOs, co-operatives, partnerships and companies that agree to be, and can be legally bound by these Prize Terms and Conditions.

Existing or recent agents, affiliates and representatives of the Program Entities and any organization, university, government, NGO, cooperative, partnership or company, whose laws, guidelines, policies or regulations do not allow for entry in the Programme or acceptance of the Prize consistent with the Prize Terms and Conditions, are not eligible for entry. Further, any limited liability partnership or limited liability company consisting of, or formed solely for the benefit of, a single individual is not eligible for entry. Individuals cannot enter the Programme.

Entrants that Sponsor believes in its sole discretion will not or cannot fully represent Sponsor’s charitable mission and/or its core values are not eligible for entry.

Further, the Programme expressly confines the Prize to organisations operating in South Africa, though the teams may have international partners. The 2021 Prize is confined to internet-based solutions.

At each phase of the Programme, Programme Entities reserve the right in their full discretion to verify the eligibility of any entrant, potential semi-finalist, or potential winner (“Top Solution”) and its compliance in full with these Prize Terms and Conditions. At all times, the decision of any of the Programme Entities as to eligibility shall be final and binding.

While diverse groups may voluntarily decide to collaborate on and submit an entry, entries must be made in the name of a single, legally registered and organised entity (at the time of the Prize disbursement), including any organisation, university, government, NGO, co-operative, partnership or company (“Legally Registered Entity”) meeting any and all eligibility requirements. The Legally Registered Entity submitting the entry will be the sole prize recipient if qualified as a Top Solution.

Each entry must designate one individual, who is legally authorised to bind the Legally Registered Entity in connection with, and for purposes of, any aspect of this Programme. This individual at the time of entry must be over the age of 18 or participating with written parental consent in the relevant jurisdiction(s) in which the Legally Registered Entity is organised and legally resides, and where the individual legally resides. All communications with the Programme Entities must be through the designated, authorised individual of the Legally Registered Entity. During the duration of the Programme, each Legally Registered Entity is solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy of all contact information for the Legally Registered Entity and the authorised individual it designates, and any other contact information provided to or for the Programme.

Programme Entities will not be responsible for communications sent to out-of-date or inaccurate contact information. Further, Programme Entities will not be responsible for, and have no role in determining how work is accomplished for the Programme and Submission Materials among those that have decided to collaborate on an entry or within the Legally Registered Entity, and/or how the Prize is to be shared where more than one entity may be involved. The Programme Entities will only communicate with the Legally Registered Entity through its designated individual.

Any levies, taxes and fees associated with any Prize award are the sole responsibility of the Legally Registered Entity. Further, the Legally Registered Entity is responsible for providing, as applicable, a South African taxpayer identification number and any other tax documentation requested before an award will be made. If the laws of any jurisdiction other than South Africa govern the Legally Registered Entity, the Legally Registered Entity agrees that it is solely responsible for any reporting obligations for, and for the payment of, any levies, taxes and fees to any governmental authorities or jurisdiction arising from or in connection with the Programme. Any such Legally Registered Entity shall provide any supporting documentation requested to the Programme Entities confirming this obligation before any Prize can be awarded.

At the time of entry and throughout the duration of the Programme, any materials for the Programme will need to be entered through a single Legally Registered Entity that meets and is bound by the Prize Terms and Conditions, is able to legally accept the Prize, including but not limited to providing and completing fully any applicable documentation for the Prize, is responsible for paying and pay any and all applicable levies, taxes or fees on the Prize to any appropriate governmental authorities, and is the sole and exclusive owner of the intellectual property and ideas in any and all materials submitted for the Programme. As part of its entry and before a Prize can be awarded, the Legally Registered Entity may be requested to provide proof of its status as a Legally Registered Entity in the country where the entity is organized and resides.

Further, as more fully set forth in these Prize Terms and Conditions, before a Prize can be awarded, Programme Entities may request the Legally Registered Entity to execute through the Legally Registered Entity’s authorised individual a Declaration of Eligibility, Publicity Release and Copyright License, and any other documents needed to satisfy these Prize Terms and Conditions.
