2020 Referral Program Terms and Conditions
No purchase is necessary to enter or win the sweepstakes (“the Sweepstakes”). A purchase does not increase the odds of winning. We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions. Any changes to these terms and conditions will be posted on this website.
1. Eligibility
The Sweepstakes is open only to those who agree to these rules and who are 18 as of the date of entry. The Sweepstakes is only open to legal residents of South Africa. Employees of Cylon Consulting (the “Sponsor”) and their immediate family members and/or those living in the same household are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes.
2. Agreement to Rules:
By participating, you agree to be fully and unconditionally bound by these Rules, and you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements set forth herein. In addition, you agree to accept the decisions of Cylon Consulting, as final and binding in relation to these rules. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable South African and local laws.

The Sweepstakes will begin on or about 1st December 2020, and ending on the 30th June 2021. All entries must be received by 30th June 2021, 11:59 PM. The drawing date will be 5th July 2021 at 12:00PM. Cylon Consulting reserves the right to postpone the published drawing date until such time as Cylon Consulting has received a minimum of 20 new service agreements from the Sweepstakes. If the minimum of 20 new service agreements has not been met by the drawing date, the drawing will be postponed in two-week intervals until the 20th service agreement has been received. Entrants will be notified of any drawing date changes by email using the email address provided in the entry.
4. How to Enter:
The Sweepstakes must be entered by submitting an entry using the online form provided on this website, click here, or by emailing your entry to [email protected]. The entry must fulfil all sweepstakes requirements, as specified, to be eligible to enter the prize drawings. Entries that are not complete or do not adhere to the rules or specifications may be disqualified at the sole discretion of Cylon Consulting. You may enter as many times as you like, provided that each entry meets the Sweepstakes’ eligibility criteria. If you use fraudulent methods or otherwise attempt to circumvent the rules, your submission may be removed from eligibility at the sole discretion of Cylon Consulting.
a. Obtaining Entries:
i. Referring Businesses to Cylon Consulting:
Entrants may use the website form located on the contest page or email and provide the name and contact information for the business you are referring. We will contact that person to explore how Cylon Consulting can help with their document management or IT support (or both). Once this referral becomes a Cylon Consulting client, you’ll receive one entry for each user (document management) or computer supported by the initial service agreement. There is no limit on the number of referrals you can submit. Your entries are valid on the date the new client signs a service agreement with Cylon Consulting. Example: If you refer a business that signs a new service agreement for IT Services with 10 computers, you will receive 10 entries into the drawing. If you refer a business that signs a new service agreement for IT support with 20 computers, you will receive 20 entries into the drawing. If you refer a business that signs an agreement for both IT support and document management, you will receive one entry per computer and one entry for each user license supported by the initial agreements.
ii. Referring Yourself:
You may refer your own company to become a new client or to add a new service and receive entries once a service agreement has been signed. For example: If you refer your own company and you sign an agreement for 5 (document management) users, then your name will be entered into the drawing 5 times.
b. Rules for Qualification of Referrals:
i. Only new service agreement types are eligible (IT Support or Document Management). Upgrades or additions to existing client service agreements are not eligible.
ii. Existing clients are eligible to refer themselves and enter the drawing if a new service type is added. For example, if you are already a Cylon Consulting client for IT Support, but not document management, you can refer yourself for document management and be eligible for entries based on the number of user licenses in the initial service agreement.
iii. Only referrals to businesses apply. Cylon Consulting does not serve home and personal use clients. Home-based businesses may qualify at Cylon Consulting’s discretion.
iv. Cylon Consulting reserves the right to deny referrals for any reason, such as business location, size, prior credit history, poor references, etc.
v. Referring yourself or your company: You may refer yourself or your own company provided no one else referred you first.
c. Rules Regarding Entries:
i. Entries for the 2020 referral program will not carry over into future drawings.
ii. In the case of duplicate referrals submitted, any drawing entries will go to the participant that first referred the client.
5. Prizes:
The Grand Prize is a new 2020 Hyundai Tucson and a catered lunch for the winner’s office. This has an approximate value of R500,000.00. The 2nd Prize is valued at R10,000.00 and includes a catered lunch for the winner’s office. Actual/appraised value may differ at time of prize award.
