    1. their bid is invalid because their PK Coins Points Bank is insufficient;
    2. their bid is not the highest bid so they need to bid again if they wish to remain in the running for the prize; or

There is no cost to the participant to receive a MT error message.
  12. If a bid is accepted as a valid bid, the value of that bid will be posted onto www.prizeKing.com and the value of the prize to which the bid applies will be automatically increased by the value of that bid. The value of each prize (being the value of the highest bid received for that prize) will be displayed on www.prizeKing.com for public viewing at all times during the Auction period. The Auction Administrator however, is not responsible in the event a bid is not posted due to technical difficulties affecting the Auction system.
  13. The eligible participant who has registered the highest valid bid for an advertised prize at the conclusion of the Auction period will be deemed to be the highest bidder for that prize. If two or more eligible participants have placed the highest valid bid for an advertised prize at the conclusion of the Auction period, the participant who placed their bid first will be deemed the highest bidder. By becoming the highest bidder for a given prize, each applicable eligible participant enters into a binding contract with the Auction Administrator to redeem the prize to which their highest bid pertains, using the number of PK Coins they bid. Each highest bidder will be notified by MT SMS. The MT SMS will contain a unique code and will refer the highest bidder to www.prizeKing.com where they can claim their prize.

Once a claim has been validated, the number of PK Coins the participant bid for the applicable prize will be automatically deducted from their PK Coins Points Bank. The highest bidder will be sent their prize in the mail to the address nominated on their claim form, within approximately 60 days of the date their claim form was submitted.
  16. At any time throughout the Auction period, participants can check the balance of their PK Coins Points Bank by logging on to www.prizeKing.com and following the prompts or by sending a MO SMS to 40856 with the word "BAL". Participants can also cancel all bids on current auction by sending a MO SMS to 40856 with the word "CXL". The SMS cost for each MO SMS message sent by the participant is R10 (including GST). Standard carrier's SMS carriage costs may apply in addition to this SMS cost. Participants must check with their carriage service provider if unsure.
  17. A reply MT SMS will be sent to each participant who sends a MO SMS request referred to in Condition 16 after their SMS has been received, providing a response to their request.

The MT SMS cost for each MT SMS message sent by the Auction Administrator to the participant in accordance with this Condition 21 is R10 (including GST).

If the documentation required by the Auction Administrator is not received by the Auction Administrator (or its nominated agent) or has not been verified or validated to the Auction Administrator's satisfaction within the time requested, the eligibility of that participant may become invalid in the Auction Administrator's absolute discretion and the prize may not be awarded to the participant. Prizes will only be awarded where the unique code fulfils all of the requirements of the Auction Administrator's verification tests and procedures. The verification tests and procedures shall be determined by the Auction Administrator in its absolute discretion. All prizes will only be awarded following any participant validation and verification that the Auction Administrator requires in its absolute discretion.
