Prizes
Chances to win various prizes are
offered to every person who completes a survey, that they have been
invited to take part in by invitation email, by the closing time
specified in the invitation email (Survey Respondent)
An important element of each prize
offer is that if a Survey Respondent is drawn as a winner of any
prize, their membership details must be correct and up to date at
the time of the draw as shown in their log in area at
www.buzzthepeople.co.nz.
Buzz reserves the right to ask the
Survey Respondent to confirm their details at the time they are
contacted as a prize winner and if these details are not correct
and up to date, the Survey Respondent forfeits any rights they have
to their prize.
Buzz offers four different types of
prize draws.
Type 1: 'Survey
Prizes': For some surveys we will randomly select a specified
number of Survey Respondents who will win a prize or prize voucher.
This is detailed at the beginning of any survey which is offering
prizes or prize vouchers.
Type 2: 'Monthly
Prizes': In the first week of each month ten randomly selected
Survey Respondents are drawn from all the surveys that were
completed in the preceding month and will win one of the ten
Monthly Prizes. Each Monthly Prize is a $50 gift voucher from one
of a range of retail shops and the winning Survey Respondents can
select the voucher that they would like. Every time a Survey
Respondent completes a survey within a month, they get one entry in
that month's monthly draw.
We also may offer a special monthly prize in addition to the ten
vouchers and the winner is drawn at the same time as the ten
monthly voucher winners. This extra monthly prize varies in value
and type.
Type 3: Twice
a year we draw one prize winner and this Survey Respondent is
the winner of our $10,000 cash prize for that period. The prize is
$10,000 cash paid to the winners bank account. Every completed
survey within a 6 month period from December 31 to June
30, and from July 1 to December 31 gives the respondent one
entry in the draw for that period so if a person has completed
more than one survey in any prize period, they will have more than
one entry in the prize draw for that period.
Type 4: 'New Panel
Membership Prizes': Buzz may offer prize draws entries to people
who join up to The Panel in a specified period. These prizes will
vary in nature and value and details will be clearly specified in
any promotional activity and on www.buzzthepeople.co.nz.
Only people who are signing up to The Panel for the first time are
eligible to go into the draw for a New Panel Membership Prize. If
Buzz establishes that a person drawn as a winner has been or
already is a member of the The Panel, the prize is instantly
forfeit and a new winner will be drawn.

Donations to schools
and charities
If you nominate that the
contribution generated by your completion of a survey should go to
a school or charity, this is not a donation by you to the charity
or school and therefore cannot be treated as a donation for tax
purposes.
Shopping Vouchers
If you nominate that the
contribution generated by your completion of a survey should go
towards a shopping voucher of your choice the following terms
apply:
Each time you complete a
Research Survey for us we'll credit your Voucher Reward Total with
the number of points (called BeePoints) that we have offered in the
invitation email for the completion of that survey.
When your Voucher Reward
Total reaches 2000 or more BeePoints you can click on the 'Request
Voucher' area in your membership area to request us to send you a
voucher from the Buzz voucher list. When you do this we will ask
for your current postal address and this address will only be used
to mail you your Voucher.
Vouchers will only be issued
in multiples of $20 so we'll reset your Voucher Reward Total by the
equivalent BeePoints value of the amount of the voucher or vouchers
issued to you. This may leave you with a remaining Voucher Reward
Total.
Vouchers will be mailed to
you within 28 days of Buzz receiving your request.
Buzz reserves the right to
vary the value of BeePoints and the number of BeePoints offered for
any Research Survey.
At any time prior to you
requesting your voucher, you may log in to your membership are and
transfer the amount in your Voucher Rewards Total to a Buzz Charity
or nominated school.
In the General Terms and
Conditions of Buzz.ThePeople membership, Buzz reserves the right to
cancel your membership at our discretion. If this occurs, the
amount in your Voucher Rewards Total may be voided or transferred
to a Buzz charity at our discretion.
