Entering on the RewardIt® Website. After you submit your Registration Data

pages, which may include entry pages to one or more promotional contests
offered by Company (individually, an "Initial Promotion," and collectively,
the " Initial Promotions"). You must complete the entry pages in the order
presented to you in order to be eligible to move to the next entry page,
whether for an Initial Promotion or this Promotion. Company, in its sole
discretion, may decide the number, type, and order of the entry pages for
any Initial Promotions and this Promotion for any given Game Day (as
defined below), and the number, type, and order of entry pages for any
Initial Promotions and this Promotion may vary between Game Days. Each
Initial Promotion shall be subject to, and governed by, separate rules
associated with that Initial Promotion.
Once you have completed entry pages for any Initial Promotions that are
first offered by Company for the relevant Game Day (if any), you will be
directed to the entry page for this Promotion, where you may select (or
allow the RewardIt® Website to select, at random, by utilizing the "Quick
Pick" option) any five (5) numbers ("Entry Numbers"), from one (1) to
forty-five (45) ("Eligible Numbers"); provided, however, that each Eligible
Number may be used only once as part of your Entry Numbers for the given
Game Day (as defined below) on the RewardIt® Website. Once you have
selected and submitted your Entry Numbers, you will be entered as an
entrant in the Promotion for the Game Day (as defined below) for which you
registered ("RewardIt® Website Entry").
General. You may only submit one (1) RewardIt® Website Entry from 12:00:00
a.m. ET to 11:59:59 p.m. ET each calendar day during the Promotion Period
(each, a "Game Day"). Any Entries (as defined below) submitted by the same
individual in excess of the aforementioned Game Day limits will be
discarded. Company reserves the right to reject any Entry that it believes,
in its sole discretion, is fraudulent, incomplete or otherwise invalid.
Without limiting the foregoing, please be advised that Company may employ
certain technology (“Blocking Technology”) in connection with securing the
Website that is designed to identify and block potential Promotion Entries
submitted through use of bots and other unauthorized automated tools,
scripts, technologies and computer programs (collectively, “Prohibited
Technology”). Under certain circumstances, the Blocking Technology may
incorrectly identify you as a user of Prohibited Technology and block your
Entry in the Promotion. COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REGISTRATIONS OR
ENTRIES THAT ARE BLOCKED BY OPERATION OF THE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY. IF YOU
FAIL TO COMPLETE A PROMOTION ENTRY FORM AND/OR SUBMIT AN ENTRY DURING ANY
GAME DAY FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE BLOCKING
TECHNOLOGY IDENTIFIED YOU AS A USER OF PROHIBITED TECHNOLOGY, YOU WILL NOT
QUALIFY FOR A PRIZE IN CONNECTION WITH THAT GAME DAY'S DRAWING, AND COMPANY
WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU IN ANY WAY FOR SUCH FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE FORM
OR QUALIFY FOR A PRIZE. All Promotion Entry Forms and Website Entries must
be received by the end of the Game Day to be eligible for the drawing that
will occur at the end of that Game Day. By entering the Promotion, you
agree to the Promotion winner selection and decisions of Company and the
Independent Third Party, which are final and binding in all respects. By
entering the Promotion, you agree to receive e-mail and direct mail
marketing messages from Company and its affiliates. See Section 9
hereinbelow for detailed information concerning the Company Privacy Policy
(" Privacy Policy").
NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN THE PROMOTION. PURCHASING GOODS
AND/OR SERVICES OFFERED BY OR THROUGH COMPANY OR OUR MARKETING PARTNERS
WILL NOT INCREASE THE ODDS OF QUALIFYING FOR A PRIZE.
COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REGISTRATIONS, ENTRIES, CLAIMS OR NOTICES
THAT ARE LOST, LATE, ILLEGIBLE, MISDIRECTED, DAMAGED, INCOMPLETE OR
INCORRECT. IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE A PROMOTION ENTRY FORM DURING ANY GAME
DAY FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS
THE WEBSITE, YOU WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR A PRIZE IN CONNECTION WITH THAT GAME
DAY'S DRAWING, AND COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU IN ANY WAY FOR SUCH
FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE FORM OR QUALIFY FOR A PRIZE. YOU ARE SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR RECEIVING A PRIZE
THROUGH THE PROMOTION.
4. IDENTIFICATION OF ENTRANTS. Each Entry will be collected and stored in
the Promotion Database. For purposes of these Rules, the "Promotion
Database" is defined as the entire list of Entries, identified by customer
number, email address and Entry Numbers, collected during each Game Day
during the Promotion Period. Company will stop accepting entries at the end
of the Promotion Period. At the conclusion of each Game Day, the Promotion
Database will be cleared of all non-winning Entries.
5. HOW TO WIN. Within one (1) business day of the conclusion of each Game
Day during the Promotion Period, the Independent Third Party will select,
randomly, the five (5) winning numbers from the Eligible Numbers (the "
Winning Numbers") and, where applicable, attempt to match up the selected
Winning Numbers with the Entry Numbers in the Promotion Database for that
Game Day. If there is a match between the Winning Numbers and eligible
Entry Numbers in the Promotion Database for that Game Day, and thus there
is a Prize winner (or multiple Prize winners), he/she/they will be notified
via e-mail within thirty (30) days after the Winning Numbers are selected.
(Entrants should ensure that their Registration Data is accurate and up to
date.) In the event of a match, the Promotion will end, and all further
Entries and drawings for any subsequent Game Days will be considered drawn
during the following Promotion Period, if any. If more than one (1)
entrant's Entry Numbers match the Winning Numbers, the Prize shall be
divided evenly amongst the winners and distributed to the winners by
Company. If Company offers a second entry page for this Promotion on the
Websites and any entrant submits the same set of Entry Numbers more than
once through the various Websites, he or she shall still be treated as if
he or she had submitted only one (1) set of Entry Numbers and shall not be
entitled to any greater share of the Prize. Prize winners are subject to
eligibility verification. Prize winners will be required to execute a
notarized Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release ("
Affidavit"), and return such Affidavit within thirty (30) days following
attempted notification, together with a recent picture of the Prize winner,
for Company's use according to the specifications set forth in the
Affidavit or as later requested by Company. Non-compliance within this time
period may result in forfeiture of the Prize.
In addition, Prize winners will be required to provide (a) picture proof of
identification, which may include a driver's license, passport, voting card
or similar government issued identification; (b) proof that they are the
entrant that submitted the applicable winning Entry; and (c) such tax and
withholding documentation as may be reasonably required by Company (in its
discretion) to comply with its tax reporting requirements. Prize winners
may also be required to provide Company with proof that they are the
authorized account holder of the electronic mail address associated with
the potential winning Entry. The return of a Prize/Prize notification as
undeliverable may result in forfeiture. In no case shall Company be liable
in any manner where a winner has not received notification sent from
Company or where Company fails to receive a response from the winner within
the required response period. The winning Entry Numbers, as well as the
associated information of the winner, must identically match the records
maintained by the Independent Third Party and Company in order for a Prize
to be awarded. In the event of a dispute, the information maintained by the
Independent Third Party and Company will govern. Entries will be deemed
made by the person under whose name the Entry was registered, regardless of
who actually submitted the Entry. Be sure to use your correct name and your
own e-mail address. In the event a Prize winner is a legal resident of
Canada, and living in Canada, a skills test must be successfully completed
in order for the Prize winner to claim the Prize. See Section 7 hereinbelow
for a detailed Prize description.
6. PRIZE DESCRIPTION. The winning entrant, if any, for the Promotion will
receive the Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00) prize, which will be payable
either by check or other form chosen by Company in its discretion, within
thirty (30) days of return of the completed and valid Affidavit, together
with all other documentation and verifications reasonably requested by
Company (the " Prize"). If more than one (1) entrant's Entry Numbers match
the Winning Numbers for that Game Day, the Prize shall be divided evenly
amongst the winners and distributed to the winners by Company. There is a
maximum of one (1) Prize available each Game Day during the Promotion
Period.
7. ODDS OF WINNING. The odds of winning the Prize (that is, the odds of any
set of Entry Numbers matching the Winning Numbers) are 1,221,759 to 1.
8. PRIVACY POLICY. The information submitted by entrants and prospective
entrants in connection with the Promotion is covered by the Privacy Policy,
as same is made available on the Website. To the extent that the Privacy
Policy is in conflict or inconsistent with these Rules as they pertain to
the Promotion, these Rules shall take precedence. For a copy of the
RewardIt® Privacy Policy please go to:
http://www.rewardit.com/site/privacypolicy.
9. WINNERS' LIST. To request a list of Prize winners, send a self-addressed
stamped envelope to: RewardIt.com, Attn: RI240301B Five Hundred Dollar
Sweepstakes, 100 Duffy Ave, Suite 510, Hicksville, NY 11801.
10. TAX INFORMATION. Federal, state and local taxes, and all similar fees
and assessments, are the responsibility of the applicable Prize winner.
Company reserves the right to withhold taxes from any winning Prize, as
appropriate.
11. NO SUBSTITUTION OF PRIZES. No substitution or transfer of Prizes will
be accommodated or permitted, other than in Company's sole discretion.
12. PUBLICATION. Promotion entry constitutes permission for Company to use
each entrant's name and likeness (including pictures) for advertising and
promotional purposes without further compensation, excluding residents of
the State of Tennessee and where otherwise prohibited by law.
13. RELEASE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. By entering the Promotion, you
waive any claim to any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages against Company, however caused and under whatever theory
of liability, including, but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of
business opportunities or loss of goodwill or reputation, even if Company
has been advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of such
damages. Additionally, Company is not responsible for the actions or
inactions of any other entrant in the Promotion.
Regardless of any other provision of these Rules, in no event will
Company's liability to you for any action or claim related to the
Promotion, the Prize, or the Website, whether based on contract, tort,
negligence or any other theory of liability, exceed the lesser of (a) your
actual, direct damages, or (b) Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00).
Some states and jurisdictions do not allow for the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation and exclusion
may not apply to you.
14. CHOICE OF LAW/DISPUTE RESOLUTION/CLASS ACTION LIMITATION. Any disputes
arising out of or related to the Promotion shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without
regard to conflict of law principles). Should a dispute arise concerning
the Promotion, the terms and conditions of these Rules or the breach of
same by any party hereto: (a) the parties agree to submit their dispute for
resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in
New York, NY, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association; and (b) you agree to first
commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting an
Initial Dispute Notice to us which can be found at:
http://www.rewardIt.com/disputenotice.pdf. We may choose to provide you
with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Initial Dispute
Notice ("Final Settlement Offer"). If we provide you with a Final
Settlement Offer and you do not accept it, or we cannot otherwise
satisfactorily resolve your dispute, you can submit your dispute for
resolution by arbitration before a reputable arbitration organization as
mutually agreed upon by the parties, in your county of residence, by filing
a separate Demand for Arbitration, which can be found at:
http://www.rewardIt.com/arbitration.pdf. For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in
person, by telephone or based only on submissions. If the arbitrator awards
you relief that is greater than our Final Settlement Offer, then we will
pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the
arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection
with the arbitration, we will reimburse any reasonable attorneys' fees that
your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim
in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the
parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude any
party from: (a) seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights
pending an outcome in arbitration; and/or (b) pursuing the matter in small
claims court rather than arbitration. Although we may have a right to an
award of attorneys' fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we will
not seek such an award from you unless the arbitrator determines that your
claim was frivolous.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or
participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or
controversy that you may have against Company and/or its employees,
officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns. You agree to
the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a
participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court
costs that Company incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing
you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (i)
does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a
claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as
provided above; and (ii) is an independent agreement. You may opt-out of
these dispute resolution provisions by providing written notice of your
decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first submit an entry
in connection with the Promotion.
15. SEVERABILITY. Should any part of these Rules be held invalid or
unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable
law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
16. INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY. The Independent Third Party is not involved in
marketing the Promotion. The Independent Third Party is not the sponsor of
the Promotion and will not respond to any inquiries. The Independent Third
Party is responsible for the drawing of the Winning Numbers at the
conclusion of each Game Day.
17. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company,
Independent Third Party, each of their parents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, and their respective members, officers, directors, employees,
agents, co-branders and/or other partners, harmless from and against any
and all liability, claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and settlement costs), damages, suits, costs, demands and/or
judgments whatsoever, due to or arising out of: (a) your use (or use
through your information) of the Promotion, the Prizes and/or the Website;
(b) your breach of these Rules, the Member Terms and Conditions or the
Privacy Policy; (c) any act or omission of yours, including your violation
of any rights of another individual and/or entity; (d) the tax treatment of
any payments or Prizes you receive (or any portion thereof); or (e)
copyright infringement, improper use of likeness, personal injury, or death
caused or incurred by you (or any combination of (a), (b), (c), (d) and
(e)). The provisions of this paragraph are for the benefit of Company,
Independent Third Party, each of their parents, subsidiaries and/or
affiliates, and their respective members, officers, directors, employees,
agents, shareholders, licensors, suppliers and/or attorneys. Each of these
individuals and entities shall have the right to assert and enforce these
provisions directly against you on its own behalf, and this indemnification
shall survive these Rules and your participation in the Promotion and use
of the Website.
