4RO is part of the 100% Australian family-owned Grant Broadcasters local media network.

No one likes extensive rules and regulations, however, consumers have asked for specific rules when it comes to winning prizes on radio stations, and due to this, we outline our General Competition Conditions for you below.

1 - General Competition Rules

1.1 - Grant Broadcasters Pty Ltd (ABN: 65 000 667 470) (GB) operates a number of radio stations across Australia of which the station referred to in this website is one.  Grant Broadcasters may conduct competitions from time to time pursuant to which prizes of money or other property are made available to eligible persons (as set out in clause 3.1) ("Grant Broadcasters Competition").

1.2 - These rules say who is eligible to enter a Grant Broadcasters Competition, how prizes will be awarded and how they may be claimed ("General Competition Rules"). In addition to the General Competition Rules, other specific terms and conditions may also apply to particular Grant Broadcasters Competitions ("Specific Competition Rules"). Any Specific Competition Rules applicable to any particular Grant Broadcasters Competition will be posted on www.Grant Broadcasters.com.au ("Web-Site") and available upon request from Grant Broadcasters reception, during normal business hours, located at the location specified in the contact section of this website.

1.3 - To the extent that there is an inconsistency between the General Competition Rules and the Specific Competition Rules, the General Competition Rules prevail.

1.4 - A person who enters a Grant Broadcasters Competition agrees to be bound by:

(a) the General Competition Rules; and

(b) the Specific Competition Rules.

2 - Conduct of Competitions
At all times a Grant Broadcasters Competition will be conducted by Grant Broadcasters in its absolute discretion (including, without limitation, decisions in relation to who may enter and who has won a prize in a Grant Broadcasters Competition). A decision of Grant Broadcasters is binding and conclusive and will not be challenged on the grounds that Grant Broadcasters failed to act reasonably, fairly, in good faith or otherwise in accordance with the principles of procedural fairness. A decision of Grant Broadcasters will not be challengeable even if it can be demonstrated that Grant Broadcasters made a decision which was wrong, based on a factual error or an irrelevant or irrational consideration. It is not the policy of Grant Broadcasters to enter into negotiations with any person who challenges a decision of Grant Broadcasters.

If you believe on reasonable grounds that you have been or are likely to be a victim of fraud, you can request CRB not to use or disclose credit reporting information about you. In addition, you can request the CRB not to use your credit reporting information for the purposes of pre-screening of direct marketing by a credit provider.

The CRB may include information that we provide to it in reports that they provide to other credit providers to assist them to assess your credit worthiness. If we do a credit check on you with CRB, the CRB will generate a credit score for you and make this available to us. We’ll use this information to help us assess your credit worthiness, and we will keep a record of whether you passed or failed the credit check (based on our credit criteria) but we will not keep the credit score generated for you by the CRB.

If you become our customer the identification information we collected from you, that you passed the credit check and any information about your credit defaults with us will be held in our customer database.

If you don't become our client, your identification will be held in our client database until such time as it is destroyed.

If, after reasonable follow up, you do not pay any outstanding amounts owed by you to us we may supply to the CRB with this information along with relevant personal information. This may include:

• identification information about you
• the fact that you have applied for credit and we are a credit provider to you
• advice about payments more than 60 days overdue which are ‘in collection’ that we are permitted to report to the CRB
• that, in our opinion, you have committed a serious credit infringement
• that credit provided to you has been paid or otherwise discharged

Notification to the CRB that any of your outstanding payments are no longer overdue will only be made following payment of the outstanding amount including any accrued interest.

You’re entitled to access and seek the correction of the credit-related personal information that we hold. If you have a complaint about the handling of your credit-related personal information you can contact our Privacy Officer.

What if you disagree with our decision?

Where we make a decision about you or affecting you, you may ask us to explain the basis on which that decision was made, and you may ask to see the personal information (if any) on which our decision is based

Cookies

Like many companies, we use ‘cookie’ technology on our website. ’Cookies’ are small text files a website can use to recognise repeat users, store registration data, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the website, allow a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements.

Cookies are not programs that come onto your system and damage files. In some cases, cookies may collect and store personal information about you and, if that is the case, we will extend the same privacy protections to that information as we do to other personal information we collect about you.

You can disable cookies or be warned when cookies are being used by adjusting your internet browser settings. However, disabling cookies may mean that you are not able to access parts of our website or to take advantage of the improved user experience that cookies can help provide.

Visiting our website

When you visit our website, in addition to any personal information you submit (e.g. for a quote or in a contact form), a record of your visit will be recorded. This record may include the following types of information:

• your server address
• your top level domain name (e.g. .gov, .au)
• the date and time of the visit
• pages accessed and documents downloaded
• the address of any website that linked you directly to our site
• when you email us we will record your email address

Third party websites

Our website may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the content and the privacy practices of third party websites and do not endorse or authorise their content.

You should familiarise yourself with each website's privacy policy and make your own decision about providing personal information when visiting those sites.

Can the ways in which we use your information and the conditions of use be changed?

Periodically we will update this privacy policy to reflect changes to privacy legislation, technological changes, company policy and customer feedback. You should refer to our website from time to time to view the current version of this privacy policy.

We will investigate your complaint and respond to you in writing within 30 days. For complaints specifically related to credit, we will also provide you in writing, within 7 days, an acknowledgement that your complaint has been received, setting out how it will be dealt with by us.

It's annoying isn't it? You just want to work your way around our website and then suddenly nothing works the way it should.

Well, there are a few things you need to check first...

What browser are you using?

This website is designed and tested to work with the following web browsers;

• Mozilla Firefox - current version
• MS Internet Explorer 8 and up
• Apple Safari - current version
• Opera - curent version
• Google Chrome - current version

You'd be surprised how many problems with our website are caused by people using Internet Explorer 6 or 7. IE6 and IE7 are very outdated browsers that are not designed to work with modern websites and web-based applications. IE6 had been superseded over ten years ago, plus there have been dozens of updates to it since then as well. Before you ask us to fix something that doesn't work for you, please make sure you are using one of the browsers above... and please get rid of Internet Explorer 6. It is so old and unsecure that even Microsoft don't support it any more!

Spelling errors and typos

We're all human and sometimes in our hurry to get something online as soon as possible for you, a typo or spelling mistake may be missed. If you notice any, just email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We only bring in partial feeds where they are offered, although sometimes our automated system may bring in copyrighted or full feeds inadvertently.
