1. Promoter
The promoter is Armstrong’s, through its Nissan & Dongfeng Lower Hutt dealership at 340 High Street, Lower Hutt (“Armstrong’s” or “the Promoter”).
By entering this competition, entrants agree to these Terms & Conditions.
2. Promotional period
The competition opens on 13 November 2026 and closes at the end of dealership trading hours on 30 November 2026 (“Promotional Period”).
Eligible test drives must be completed during the Promotional Period. Booking a test drive before the closing date does not qualify an entrant if the test drive takes place after the Promotional Period.
All dates and times refer to New Zealand local time.
3. Eligibility
Entry is open to New Zealand residents who:
- Are aged 25 years or over at the time of entry.
- Hold a current driver licence valid in New Zealand that authorises them to drive the test vehicle.
- Meet the dealership’s standard test drive requirements.
- Complete an eligible test drive during the Promotional Period.
Employees of Armstrong’s, its related companies, agencies directly involved in this promotion, and their immediate families are not eligible to enter. Immediate family includes a spouse or partner, parent, child or sibling.
Armstrong’s may request reasonable evidence of age, residency, identity, driver licence status and completion of an eligible test drive to verify eligibility.
4. How to enter
To enter, an eligible person must:
- Complete a Nissan or Dongfeng test drive at Armstrong’s Lower Hutt, 340 High Street, during the Promotional Period.
- Provide their full name, email address and phone number to the dealership.
- Agree to these Terms & Conditions, including the marketing email consent described in section 11.
The dealership will record eligible entries following completion of the test drive and confirmation of the entrant’s agreement. No separate online competition entry is required.
One entry per person, regardless of the number of vehicles test driven or dealership visits made.
No vehicle purchase, finance application or deposit is required to enter. Purchasing a vehicle does not provide additional entries or improve the chance of winning.
Booking enquiries, online booking requests, vehicle inspections and accompanying another person on a test drive do not, by themselves, qualify as an entry.
5. Test drive arrangements
Test drives are subject to dealership opening hours, vehicle availability and the dealership’s standard test drive procedures.
Entrants must present their driver licence and complete any required test drive documentation before driving.
Armstrong’s may decline or stop a test drive on reasonable safety, licensing or insurance grounds. A person who does not complete an eligible test drive will not qualify for entry.
Entrants are encouraged to book ahead. A preferred vehicle, date or time cannot be guaranteed, and making a booking does not extend the Promotional Period.
6. Prize
There is one prize consisting of a NZ$400 The Martinborough Hotel voucher, intended for a night’s accommodation at The Martinborough Hotel.
The total prize value is NZ$400.
The prize is supplied as a voucher rather than a confirmed accommodation booking. The winner is responsible for arranging their booking directly with the hotel.
Accommodation is subject to availability, applicable room rates and the hotel’s booking and voucher conditions. The voucher does not guarantee a particular room type, date, weekend or public holiday booking.
If the accommodation chosen costs more than $400, the winner is responsible for the difference.
The prize does not include travel, transfers, meals, drinks, activities, insurance, incidental expenses or any other costs.
The voucher’s validity period, redemption requirements, booking restrictions and treatment of any unused balance are subject to the hotel’s voucher conditions, which will be provided to the winner with the voucher.
The prize cannot be exchanged with Armstrong’s for cash or another prize. Any transfer of the voucher is subject to the hotel’s conditions.
7. Winner selection
One winner will be selected by random draw from all valid entries on 3 December 2026.
Each valid entry has an equal chance of winning. The likelihood of winning depends on the total number of valid entries received.
The draw will be administered by Armstrong’s. The winner’s eligibility may be verified before the prize is awarded.
8. Contacting the winner and redraws
Armstrong’s will contact the winner using the phone number and/or email address supplied with their entry, within two working days of the draw.
The winner must respond within five working days of the first notification attempt.
Armstrong’s may draw a replacement winner if the original winner:
- Cannot be contacted or does not respond within that period.
- Does not meet the eligibility requirements.
- Cannot provide reasonable evidence needed to verify their entry.
- Declines the prize.
- Has entered fraudulently or materially breached these Terms & Conditions.
Any replacement winner will be selected at random from the remaining valid entries and will be subject to the same notification and verification requirements.
Once the winner has been verified and accepted the prize, Armstrong’s will arrange delivery or collection of the voucher within ten working days, unless another timeframe is agreed with the winner.
9. Valid entries
Entrants must provide accurate and complete information.
Armstrong’s may reject duplicate entries and entries that are fraudulent, submitted on behalf of another person without their authority, or otherwise materially breach these Terms & Conditions.
If a legitimate entry contains a minor administrative error, Armstrong’s may seek clarification before deciding whether the entry is valid.
Entrants are responsible for ensuring their contact details are correct and notifying the dealership of any changes before the draw.
10. Privacy and personal information
Armstrong’s will collect entrants’ names, contact details, test drive records, consent records and any information reasonably required to verify eligibility.
This information will be used to:
- Arrange and administer the test drive.
- Record and manage competition entries.
- Verify eligibility.
- Conduct the prize draw.
- Contact the winner and arrange delivery of the prize.
- Send marketing emails in accordance with section 11.
- Respond to competition enquiries and meet applicable legal obligations.
Providing personal information is voluntary. However, Armstrong’s cannot process an entry or award the prize without sufficient information to administer the competition.
Information may be shared with service providers assisting Armstrong’s to administer the competition and send marketing emails on its behalf. The winner’s details may also be shared with The Martinborough Hotel where reasonably necessary to arrange or fulfil the prize.
Entering does not provide consent to receive marketing directly from The Martinborough Hotel.
Personal information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and Armstrong’s Privacy Policy.
Entrants may request access to, or correction of, their personal information using the contact details in that Privacy Policy.
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in these terms and any applicable legal requirements.
11. Marketing email consent
By entering this competition, entrants consent to receiving marketing emails from Armstrong’s, including news, vehicle offers, promotions, events and information about Armstrong’s automotive products and services.
Armstrong’s may use the name and email address supplied with an entry for this purpose and will record the entrant’s consent.
Entrants can withdraw their marketing consent at any time using the unsubscribe facility included in each marketing email or by contacting Armstrong’s through the contact details in its Privacy Policy.
Unsubscribe requests will be actioned within five working days. Unsubscribing after entry will not invalidate an entry, reduce the chance of winning or affect entitlement to the prize.
Armstrong’s may still contact an entrant where necessary to administer their test drive, competition entry or prize after they unsubscribe from marketing.
This consent applies to marketing emails. It does not, by itself, provide consent to marketing text messages.
12. Winner publicity
Armstrong’s may invite the winner to participate in a photograph, winner announcement or other competition publicity.
Any publication of the winner’s name, image or testimonial will require their separate permission. Agreeing to publicity is not a condition of receiving the prize.
13. Prize availability and changes to the competition
Armstrong’s intends to award the prize as described.
If circumstances outside its reasonable control make the advertised prize unavailable, Armstrong’s will discuss an alternative prize of equal or greater value with the winner.
Armstrong’s may amend, suspend or cancel the competition only where reasonably necessary due to circumstances outside its reasonable control, fraud, technical failure or legal requirements.
Any material change will be communicated through the campaign landing page and, where practicable, directly to affected entrants. Armstrong’s will take reasonable steps to preserve valid entries and avoid unfairly disadvantaging entrants.
14. Responsibility and consumer rights
Armstrong’s will take reasonable care when administering the competition.
To the extent permitted by law, Armstrong’s is not responsible for loss caused by incorrect contact details supplied by an entrant, an entrant’s failure to respond to a prize notification, or events outside Armstrong’s reasonable control.
Once the voucher has been supplied, bookings and accommodation services are managed by The Martinborough Hotel under its applicable conditions.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, Fair Trading Act 1986 and Privacy Act 2020.
15. Social media
Where this competition is advertised on Facebook or Instagram, it is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Facebook, Instagram or Meta.
Entrants provide their competition information to Armstrong’s rather than to those platforms as the competition administrator.
To the extent permitted by law, entrants release Facebook, Instagram and Meta from claims arising from the administration of this competition.
16. Enquiries and disputes
Competition enquiries or concerns should be directed to Armstrong’s Nissan & Dongfeng Lower Hutt at 340 High Street, Lower Hutt, using the dealership contact details published on Armstrong’s website.
Armstrong’s will consider any entry or prize dispute fairly and in accordance with these Terms & Conditions. Its administrative decisions remain subject to entrants’ legal rights.
The competition and these Terms & Conditions are governed by New Zealand law.
