Official Rules

THIS SWEEPSTAKES IS IN NO WAY SPONSORED, ENDORSED, OR ADMINISTERED BY, OR ASSOCIATED WITH, Meta Platforms, Inc. d/b/a facebook (“Meta”).

THE POTENTIAL WINNER MAY BE REQUIRED TO RESPOND TO AN INITIAL NOTIFICATION FROM SPONSOR (DEFINED BELOW) WITHIN FORTY-EIGHT (48) HOURS AND MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED TO EXECUTE A RELEASE AND PRIZE ACCEPTANCE DOCUMENTS AND RETURN THEM WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ISSUANCE, AS MORE FULLY DETAILED BELOW.

BY ENTERING THIS SWEEPSTAKES, YOU AGREE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES, WHICH ARE A CONTRACT, SO READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS CONTRACT INCLUDES INDEMNITIES TO THE SPONSOR FROM YOU, A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, A REQUIREMENT THAT MOST DISPUTES BE SETTLED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND A LIMITATION OF YOUR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

Any content you post in connection with the Sweepstakes Announcement Post or this Sweepstakes must comply with the “Submission Requirements” detailed in Section 4 below and otherwise comply with these Official Rules. By adding a Heart React to the Sweepstakes Announcement Post, you are agreeing to these Official Rules and giving consent for Sponsor and its agents to obtain and deliver your name, user name, city and state, and other information and content to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules, including, without limitation, publishing that information on a publicly available winner’s list.

You may remove your Heart React from the Sweepstakes Announcement Post at any time. However, if you remove your Heart React before award of the prize in this Sweepstakes, you will be deemed ineligible and disqualified. Sponsor is not responsible for technical errors or other issues that may affect the ability of Sponsor to view a purported Heart React. It is each entrant’s responsibility to set their account settings on the Platform to ensure that any purported Heart React is made publicly, to accept contacts by Sponsor, and to timely check their account for any comments, @replies, messages, direct posts, or other communications from Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for changes to any functionality or policy of the Platform (or any website or mobile application offered as part of the Platform) that may interfere with the Sweepstakes or ability of an entrant to timely enter or otherwise participate at all.

Attempts made by an individual to submit entries in excess of the above-stated limit by making multiple Heart Reacts, by using multiple accounts, or by any similar means are void and persons engaging in such conduct may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be disqualified. Heart Reacts must be submitted and received by Sponsor during the Sweepstakes Period in strict accordance with the instructions and restrictions in these Official Rules. Heart Reacts that are not both actually visible and timely received by Sponsor will not be entered into this Sweepstakes. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, a Heart React is “received” when the Platform records the Heart React and it is visible to Sponsor during the Sweepstakes Period. Other proof of submitting or attempting to submit an entry (such as, without limitation, a screenshot of your purported Heart React on the Platform) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of the Heart React for purposes of this Sweepstakes. Heart Reacts must remain visible to Sponsor throughout the award of the prize in this Sweepstakes and Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any entrant whose Heart React is removed or otherwise made invisible to Sponsor prior to such time. Purported Heart Reacts that are incorrect or incomplete (such as, without limitation, a reaction to the post other than a Heart React), received outside the Sweepstakes Period, or made in connection with any obscene, offensive, or any other language communicating messages inconsistent with the positive images with which Sponsor wishes to associate itself (all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) will be void. Those who do not abide by these Official Rules or the instructions of Sponsor or its representatives and provide all required information may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be disqualified and any entry by such person void. Entries that are fraudulent, forged, altered, incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, illegitimate, incomprehensible, garbled, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and will be void.  Entries or participation made by you on behalf of any other individual or any entity or group, made by another on your behalf, or originating at any online service other than the Platform (including, without limitation, through a commercial promotion subscription, notification, or entering service) will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Sweepstakes.  ANY HEART REACT OR OTHER ENTRANT CONTENT THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS IN THESE OFFICIAL RULES MAY, IN SPONSOR’S SOLE DISCRETION, BE DEEMED INELIGIBLE.

Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify you from the Sweepstakes and/or cease or refrain from displaying or publishing any Entrant Content that – as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion – refers, depicts, or in any way reflects negatively upon a Released Party, the Sweepstakes, or any other person or entity or does not comply with these Submission Requirements or any other requirement of these Official Rules.

Within approximately five (5) business days of the drawing, Sponsor or its representative will attempt to notify the potential winner by (i) sending a direct message to the potential winner’s Platform account, (ii) posting a public comment and tagging the potential winner in the Sweepstakes Announcement Post, or (iii) both – all as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  The potential winner must respond to Sponsor in accordance with the instructions provided in the notification and within forty-eight (48) hours or another time frame as specified in the notification. It is potential winner’s responsibility to set their account settings on the Platform to accept contacts by Sponsor and to timely check their account for any comments, @replies, messages, or other communications from Sponsor. Failure to timely RESPOND OR complete any of the steps SET FORTH IN THE NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES above for any reason, including failure by ANY POTENTIAL WINNER to notice or accept a COMMENT, @reply, direct message OR OTHER COMMUNICATION sent by Sponsor, may result in disqualification OF SUCH POTENTIAL WINNER and SELECTION OF an alternate winner.

Potential winner may be required to complete, sign, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (“Prize Winner Documents”) which may require the potential winner to provide their Social Security Number and a copy of a government-issued identification or number therefrom,within the time frame specified and in the form provided by Sponsor, without revision, or prize may be forfeited. The Prize Winner Documents, if applicable, must be received by Sponsor within seven (7) days of Sponsor sending the documents to the potential winner or other time frame as stated in the Prize Winner Documents, or prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. If any prize, prize notification, or other Sweepstakes-related communication is returned as undeliverable or if a selected potential winner cannot be reached or does not respond as instructed after Sponsor has attempted to notify that potential winner,that selected winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected (time permitting and in Sponsor’s sole discretion). Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. The prize claim and Prize Winner Documents are subject to verification by Sponsor.  The prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded. Sponsor will not be obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners (time permitting) for any reason.

PRIZE AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”):  Subject to verification, the number of winners as stated in the Sweepstakes Announcement Post in this Sweepstakes will receive the prize.  The Sweepstakes Announcement Post contains the prize description, ARV of each individual prize, and the total ARV for all prizes. All prize details not specifically stated in the Sweepstakes Announcement Post will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.

No transportation is included as part of the prize.  All taxes (federal, state, and local), as well as any expenses associated with prize acceptance and use and not specified in these Official Rules as being provided as part of the prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner. The Released Parties are not responsible for, and the prize winner will not receive the difference between, the actual value of the prize at the time of award and the stated ARV in these Official Rules or in any Sweepstakes-related correspondence or materials.  No more than the stated prize will be awarded. Sponsor will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen prizes or prize elements or any prizes that are undeliverable or do not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address. If a winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. No transfers, prize substitutions, or cash redemptions will be made, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Winner is strictly prohibited from selling, auctioning, trading, or otherwise transferring any part of the prize, except with Sponsor’s permission, which may be granted or withheld for any reason in its sole discretion. Any mailed prize elements will only be mailed or otherwise provided to the verified winner’s address in the Territory, unless Sponsor, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any prize or portion thereof with another prize or portion thereof of equal or greater value for any reason, including unavailability of the stated prize. Each entrant waives the right to assert as a cost of winning any prize any and all costs of verification and redemption or travel to claim the prize and any liability and publicity which might arise from claiming or seeking to claim said prize.

WINNER AGREES THAT THe PRIZE IS PROVIDED AS-IS WITHOUT ANY warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, WHETHER NOW KNOWN OR HEREINAFTER ENACTED, relative to the use or enjoyment of the prize, including, without limitation, ITS quality, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

EACH ENTRANT AGREES TO RELEASE, DISCHARGE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNIFY EACH OF THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, DISABILITIES, ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AND COSTS OF LITIGATION/ARBITRATION AND SETTLEMENT, AS WELL AS ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, FOR INJURIES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND SUSTAINED IN CONNECTION WITH: (i) THE SWEEPSTAKES; (ii) THE USE, ACCEPTANCE, POSSESSION, MISUSE OR AWARDING OF THE PRIZE; OR (iii) ANY OTHER SWEEPSTAKES-RELATED ACTIVITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INJURY, DAMAGE, DEATH, LOSS, OR ACCIDENT TO/OF PERSON OR PROPERTY.

EACH ENTRANT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ALL RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA AND ANY SIMILAR LAW OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY HIM/HER AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES.  SECTION 1542 READS AS FOLLOWS:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

Sponsor’s decisions will be final in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes, including interpretation of these Official Rules, selection of the winner, and awarding of the prize. All entrants, as a condition of entry, agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor. Entrants further agree to not damage or cause interruption of the Sweepstakes and/or prevent others from participating in or engaging with the Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right to restrict or void entries or other participation from any IP address or other identifiable source if any suspicious entry and/or participation is detected.  Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void the entry of any entrant who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of this Sweepstakes. Sponsor’s failure or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.  In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy, or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials and/or these Official Rules (including any alleged ambiguity, discrepancy, or inconsistency within these Official Rules), it will be resolved by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in the Sweepstakes or these Official Rules.  If Sponsor determines at any time in its sole discretion that a winner or potential winner is disqualified, ineligible, in violation of these Official Rules, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor deems obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify that winner or potential winner, even if the disqualified winner or potential winner may have been notified or displayed or announced anywhere.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. No Released Party is responsible or will have any liability for any purported Heart React that is removed from the Platform for any reason at any time, including removal in response to such content being “flagged” or reported as inappropriate.  No Released Party is responsible for changes to the Platform or any of the functionality thereof that may interfere with the Sweepstakes or ability of an entrant to participate. If the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes and award the prize from eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor. If any person supplies false information, obtains entries by fraudulent means, or is otherwise determined to be in violation of these Official Rules in an attempt to obtain a prize, Sponsor may disqualify that person and seek damages from them and that person may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In the event of a dispute concerning the identity of an entrant, the entrant will be declared to be the registered account holder of the email address associated with the Platform account through which the entry was submitted, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria, otherwise the entry may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be disqualified and any potential prize won will be forfeited. A registered account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the applicable email address. Any potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that they are the registered account holder of the email address associated with the Platform account from which the potentially winning Heart React was submitted. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the entry will be deemed ineligible. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DAMAGE ANY ONLINE SERVICE OR WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES MAY VIOLATE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. IF SUCH AN ATTEMPT IS MADE, SPONSOR MAY DISQUALIFY ANY ENTRANT MAKING SUCH ATTEMPT AND MAY SEEK DAMAGES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
