Content Restrictions for your Post:

 

Your Post must meet all of the above requirements to be considered valid. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may disqualify any Post that it finds unlawful, or in violation of these Official Rules.

 

Offer Limits: Post timing will be determined based on Instagram timestamp. You may only post one (1) time, either to your Instagram in-line feed OR to Instagram Stories, and you may only receive one (1) Reward. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the Instagram account. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than one (1) Reward by using multiple/different Instagram accounts, email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that participant's Post and that participant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a participant, Sponsor and Administrator will rely on participant’s Instagram account handle and other information included in their Instagram profile. If additional information provided by participant to claim a Reward is inconsistent with the Instagram account used to participate, Sponsor and/or Administrator may disqualify such participant and such disqualification may result in the forfeiture of the Reward. Sponsor, in its discretion, may request additional documentation from participant to confirm participant’s identity.

 

Reward Notification and Claim Process: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Program are final and binding in all matters related to the Program. Starting on or about September 2, 2025 and over the course of approximately the next 3 weeks, the first 1,000 eligible participants who posted a valid Post during the Program Period, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will receive a direct message from @hidden.valley on Instagram directing them to a secure online claim form to provide their name, email address, mailing address and date of birth to confirm eligibility and for prize fulfillment purposes within 2 days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent into order to claim the Reward. If a potential Reward recipient is deemed to be ineligible, cannot be contacted, fails to complete the online claim form or provide any other requested information within the required time period, or the Reward is returned as undeliverable, the potential Reward recipient forfeits the Reward. Receiving a Reward is contingent upon compliance with these Terms and Conditions. In the event that a potential Reward recipient forfeits the Reward or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable Reward to the next eligible participant who posted in order to participate in the Offer based on the time of the Instagram timestamp for the Post.

 

Reward: There are 1,000 Rewards available to be claimed. Each Reward is one (1) $35 prepaid card. Your use of the prepaid card is governed by the Cardholder Agreement, and some fees may apply. This is not a gift card. Please note that prepaid cards are subject to expiration, so pay close attention to the expiration date of the card. Approximate Retail Value: $35. Rewards will be fulfilled digitally within 8 – 12 weeks after the end of the Program.

In such event, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will award the Reward to eligible participants with a valid Post who posted up to the date of discontinuance and may modify the Reward offered herein. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the registration process or the operation of the Program or to be acting in violation of these Terms and Conditions or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.
