      2.2 In the event of a conflict between a store’s promotional material relating to a Giveaway and these terms and conditions, these terms and conditions will prevail. In addition, in the event of a conflict between a store’s internal promotional material (In-Store Material) relating to a Giveaway and a store’s external promotional material relating to a Giveaway (e.g. emails or social media posts), the In-Store Material will prevail.
      2.3 The Promoter reserves the right at any time prior to the start of a Giveaway without notice to entrants to modify these terms and conditions and any details relating to the Giveaway.
