๏ปฟ2. TIMING AND HOW TO ENTER

Promotion begins December 7, 2023, at 12:01 a.m. Mountain Standard Time (โ€œMSTโ€) and ends December 31, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. MST (the โ€œPromotion Entry Periodโ€). Sponsor is the official timekeeper for this Promotion. The Promotion is governed by these Official Rules and is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws. Within the Promotion Entry Period there are 25 separate daily entry periods. Each daily entry period starts at 12:01 a.m. MST and ends the same day at 11:59 p.m. MST. Non-winning entries from one daily entry period do not carry over into future daily entry periods. There will be one drawing for each daily entry period.

When you enter, you will be asked if you want to consent to receive marketing text messages from the Sponsor. You are not required to consent to receive text messages from the Sponsor to enter this Promotion. If you consent to receive marketing text messages from the Sponsor it will not increase your chance of winning. Limit of one Entry per person per day.

Please see Sponsorโ€™s Privacy Statement at popsockets.com/privacy for details of Sponsorโ€™s use of personal information collected in connection with this Promotion.

Any failure to comply with these terms may result in automatic disqualification from the Promotion.

 

3. DRAWING AND NOTIFICATION OF WINNERS

At the end of each day within the Promotion Entry Period there will be one drawing amongst all Entries received during the day to determine the one daily winner. The potential winners will be contacted by Sponsor thereafter via the email address noted on the potential winnerโ€™s Entry form.   

 

This Promotion is a sweepstakes (i.e., game of chance) and skill plays no part in the determination of the winner. The Sponsor or its designee will attempt to contact the potential winner by emailing the potential winner on or about the date Sponsor first draws the potential winnerโ€™s name at the email address noted on the potential winnerโ€™s entry form. If the potential winner cannot be contacted within two (2) days from the date Sponsor first emails the potential winner, or if a Prize notification is returned or reported as undeliverable, or if the potential winner (whether or not contacted) is deemed to be ineligible or disqualified (which shall be in the Sponsorโ€™s sole discretion), or if the potential winner fails to, is unable to or is unwilling to comply with these Rules, or if the potential winner fails to, is unable to or is unwilling to sign and deliver to Sponsorโ€™s satisfaction within two (2) days after such winner is sent a waiver, release and confirmation of eligibility under and compliance with these Rules by Sponsor, then the potential winner forfeits all rights to win the Promotion or receive a Prize and will be deemed disqualified. In such case another potential winner shall be drawn for the Prize at issue. This process may be repeated until the Prize has been awarded and delivered, upon which event such potential winner will be declared the winner of the Promotion. All findings, determinations and decisions of the Sponsor may be made in the Sponsorโ€™s sole discretion and are final and binding in all matters relating to this Promotion and in all respects. Limit of one (1) prize per person for the entire Promotion.


As a condition to receiving a Prize, the potential winner will be required to sign and deliver to Sponsor an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release of Liability. Further, given the ARV of the Prizes, the potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with their tax identification number. Sponsor is required to declare the ARV of the Prize to the Internal Revenue Service and provide the name and tax identification number of the Winner.

 

๏ปฟ4. DAILY PRIZES

There are twenty-five (25) prizes available to be won of $1,000 each (the โ€œPrizeโ€). The total approximate retail value (โ€œARV) of the Prizes is $25,000. For the purpose of determination of the Prize value (or any part thereof, or the aggregate of all Prizes), the determination of Sponsor will be final and binding. The right to a Prize (or any part thereof) is not transferable by the winner. The Prizes (or any part thereof) must be accepted as awarded with no substitutions (in cash, in kind, or otherwise) except at Sponsorโ€™s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the Prizes (or any part thereof) for an item (including cash) of equivalent or greater value if for any reason, in Sponsorโ€™s sole discretion, a Prize (or any part thereof) cannot, or without hardship cannot, be awarded as described in these Rules. No responsibility or liability is accepted for any variation in the value of the Prizes. Any and all taxes (including, without limitation, income taxes) and other costs and expenses arising from or relating to the Prize (or any substitution) or its delivery (including shipping and related taxes, tariffs and duties), transfer, receipt, acceptance, possession, use or disposition is solely the responsibility of the Prize winner.
