In the event
there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between any statements contained in any
Sweepstakes-related materials and these Official Rules, these Official Rules
shall prevail, govern and control.
Entrants may not attempt to
obtain more than the permitted number of entries by any means, including but
not limited to using multiple
email addresses, Instagram accounts, identities, or registrations, or by using
any third-party artificial intelligence sites/applications, or robotic,
automated, or programmed methods. Entrants may not tamper with the entry
process, or any related website, or network; circumvent any security measures;
act in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner; or take any other action that
in any way undermines the operation of the Sweepstakes or otherwise violate
these Official Rules. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any
entrant who engages in such conduct and void all associated entries. Any
attempt to deliberately undermine the Sweepstakes may violate criminal and
civil law, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any provision of these Official
Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same Instagram account. In the
event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, Sponsor and Administrator
will rely on the information associated with entrant's Instagram account used
to enter the Sweepstakes. If additional information provided by entrant to
claim the prize is inconsistent with the Instagram account used to enter,
Sponsor and/or Administrator may disqualify such entrant, and such
disqualification may result in the forfeiture of any prizes won. Sponsor, in its discretion, may
require additional documentation from entrant to show proof of entrant’s
identity.
Commenting on Sponsor’s Sweepstakes Post constitutes entrant’s consent to give Sponsor a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from and display such Comment in whole or in part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate it into other works, in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, including for promotional or marketing purposes. If requested, entrant will sign any documentation that may be required for Sponsor or its designees to make use of the non-exclusive rights entrant is granting to use the Comment.
Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the selection of the potential winners are final and binding. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or around September 15, 2026. Each potential winner will be notified by direct message from @gladproducts on Instagram and will be directed to a secure online claim form and asked to provide their name, email address, mailing address, and date of birth to confirm eligibility and for prize fulfillment purposes within 3 days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent into order to claim the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to provide any requested information within the required time period, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason or forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.
