PRIZES AND CHANCES OF WINNING A PRIZE: There are three (3) Prizes of a USD$100 Amazon e-gift card to be won in the Sweepstakes. The chance of winning that Prize will depend on the number of Entries recorded by the Sponsor during the Sweepstakes Period.
THE DRAW (the “Draw”), SPONSOR FOLLOW-UP WITH POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNERS, PRIZE DELIVERY, AND RELATED MATTERS: On or about November 20, 2023, the Sponsor will select, at random, from among all eligible Entries received, three (3) potential winning Entries for the Prize [and six (6) backup potential winning Entries (each a “Backup Entry” or and together, “Backup Entries”)]. Subject to the provisions of these Official Rules, Entrants whose Entries are selected as the potential winning Entry for the Prize will be the potential winners of the Prize available to be won in the Sweepstakes. The potential Entrants whose Entries were selected will be notified to the effect that they are a potential winner of the Prize in the Sweepstakes by the Sponsor by email as follows: a potential winning notification will be sent via email within five (5) business days following the date of the draw, to the email address provided in his/her survey response. A potential Prize winner will be required to contact the Sponsor, in accordance with the information provided in the email, and to do so by the date stated in that email. If that contact occurs, the Sponsor will supply the potential Prize winner by email with a declaration and release document (a “Declaration and Release”), together with instructions to complete and submit the Declaration and Release to the Sponsor, and stating the deadline by which the Declaration and Release must be received by the Sponsor. The Declaration and Release contains among other things a release of liability, and a publicity release. The Declaration and Release must be completed and submitted to the Sponsor by the potential Prize winner within the time period stated in the email which transmitted the Declaration and Release. If the Sponsor finds that a potential Prize winner has properly submitted and completed the Declaration and Release , then that potential Prize winner will be declared the winner of the Prize. The Prize will be sent via email to the address on the Sweepstakes entry and if the e-card is undeliverable to that address, the Prize will be forfeited by the Entrant who won the Prize and the Prize will not be awarded in the Sweepstakes. If a potential Prize winner fails to contact or to respond to the Sponsor as referred to above or fails to complete properly and return the Declaration and Release by the deadline, then that potential Prize winner will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes and will not receive the applicable Prize. In such a case, the Entrant respecting whom the first Backup Entry drawn was recorded will be notified by the Sponsor and the process described above for the Prize will apply to that Entrant. The Sponsor will continue that process until no Backup Entries remain in which case the Prizes will be forfeited and will not be awarded in the Sweepstakes. If, for any reason, an Entrant whose Entry is drawn is not declared the winner of the Prize, then that potential Prize winner will not have any claim against the Sponsor or against any other person, firm or corporation in respect of the Prize, the Sweepstakes, or any matter related to the Sweepstakes.
