the in-Ad “Sign Up” button and accurately provide the required information:
first name, last name, a valid email address and check the box verifying you
are eighteen (18) years of age or older and agree to these Official Rules. Then,

as outlined in Section 9 of these Official Rules, entries through the Ad are
also subject to Meta’s Privacy Policy found at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ or https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/, as applicable. You
are limited to one (1) entry during the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of
whether you receive more than one (1) invitation to enter. As outlined below,
non-winning Entry Period entries will carry over into subsequent Entry Periods’
drawings.
Entry Limit: You are limited to one (1) entry

Facebook or Instagram accounts, identities, physical addresses or any other
methods will void all of that individual's entries and
that individual will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, Sponsor and
Administrator will rely on the information submitted by the entrant to register
for this Sweepstakes. If additional information provided by entrant to claim a prize
(including but not limited to entrant’s first and last name) is inconsistent
with the information provided at registration, Sponsor
and/or Administrator may disqualify such entrant and such disqualification may
result in the forfeiture of any prize such entrant may claim (if applicable).
Sponsor, in its discretion, may request additional documentation from entrant
to confirm entrant’s identity. Failure to comply will result in
disqualification.

using a mobile device, standard message and data rates apply in accordance with
your personal mobile service plan. Check details of your plan prior to using a

2. ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open
to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia
(“D.C.”) who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at time of entry. The respective
employees, officers and directors of the Sponsor, Merkle Inc.
(“Administrator”), HMT Associates, Inc., Goodness Inc., Vayner Media, Dentsu
Aegis Network, David, Spark, Ketchum, Publicis, Amazon Content Services LLC,
Allied Global Marketing and the respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries and agencies of
each of the foregoing (collectively the “Promotion Parties”), and members
of the immediate families (defined as including spouse, biological, adoptive
and step-parents, grandparents, siblings, children and grandchildren, and each
of their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) or households
(whether related or not) of any of the above are not eligible to participate in
the Sweepstakes. The Sweepstakes is void outside the 50 United States, D.C., and
where prohibited.
3. SWEEPSTAKES DRAWINGS AND WINNER REQUIREMENTS: Administrator is an independent judging
organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the
Sweepstakes, the selection of the potential winners and all matters related to
the Sweepstakes are final and binding. Administrator will select the potential
Entry Period winners in separate random drawings from all eligible entries
received during the applicable Entry Period and all eligible, non-winning
entries received during previous Entry Periods through all entry methods
combined. The drawings will take place on or around the dates listed in the
chart at the top of these Official Rules. Non-winning Entry Period
entries will carry over into subsequent Entry Periods’ drawings. The
potential winners will be notified by email.
Each potential winner of a prize valued at $600.00 or more (or
their parent/legal guardian if winner is deemed a minor in the jurisdiction in
which he/she/they reside (“Minor”)) will
be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver
and where not prohibited a Publicity Release ("Declaration") which
must be received by Administrator within five (5) days of the date notice or
attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. All potential winners may be required to
provide their name, home mailing address (P.O. Boxes are not permitted), and
date of birth to confirm eligibility and for purposes of prize fulfillment
within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim a prize. If a potential winner of any prize
cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration (as applicable)
or provide any other requested information within the required time period, or any prize or prize notification 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 winner is disqualified for any reason or
forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate
winner by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries in the
applicable drawing pool. If necessary,
only three (3) such alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will
remain un-awarded if it is unclaimed.
Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of
eligible entries received for the applicable Entry Period (and previous Entry
Periods, as described above) during the Sweepstakes Period through all entry
methods combined. Receiving a prize is
contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules.

that their prize is awarded “as is” without warranty of any kind and that the
Released Parties (as defined in Section 5, below) have not made, and are not in
any manner responsible or liable for, any representation, guarantee or
warranty, express or implied, in law or in fact, relative to the prize or any
portion thereof, including but not limited to its quality, condition or fitness
for a particular purpose. Sponsors or its designated agent will furnish an
Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 to each prize winner for the actual retail
value of the winner’s prize for the tax year in which the prize was accepted
for all prizes valued at $600.00 USD or greater. Each Prize winner is
responsible for any and all federal, state, and local
taxes and all other costs associated with prize acceptance. Limit one (1)
Sweepstakes prize per household. Total ARV of all available prizes is $5,762.00. Prizes will be

to release and hold Promotion Parties, Meta Platforms, Inc., John Paul Mitchell
Systems, their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, promotion agencies
and agents, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and
assigns (the “Released Parties”), harmless from and against any and all claims,
causes of action and liability arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes,
including, but not limited to, claims for personal injury, death, or damage to
or loss of property, third party claims involving the right to privacy, right
of publicity, or intellectual property infringement, or receipt, redemption,
use or misuse of any prize (as applicable). Acceptance of a prize constitutes
winner’s (and their parent’s or legal guardian’s, if

state) and photograph (including but not limited to their Facebook or Instagram
profile photo, as applicable) for marketing purposes in all media worldwide
without limitation or further compensation, notice or right of approval, unless

6. GENERAL RULES: By entering the
Sweepstakes, entrants (and their parents/legal guardians if entrants are
Minors) accept and agree to these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor
and Administrator. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify
the Sweepstakes if any fraud, technical failures, human error, or any other
factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, or any
event or cause beyond Sponsor’s control (e.g. events such as natural
calamities, national emergencies, wide spread illnesses, declarations of war,
acts of God, acts of terrorism or government shutdown of a social media
platform) (each, a “discontinuance”) interferes with any aspect of the
Sweepstakes, including, but not limited to, fulfillment of the prizes, as
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor, in its
sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible
entries received for the Entry Period then in progress and all non-winning
entries received in previous Entry Periods up to the date of discontinuance to
award the remaining prizes. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or
the operation of the Sweepstakes, including, but not limited to, submitting
fraudulent entries, or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this
or any other promotion offered by Sponsor or in an unsportsmanlike or
disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the
legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and
civil law, and, should such an attempt be made,
Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such
person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to
enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that
provision. In no event will more prizes than are stated in these Official Rules
be awarded. If, for any reason, more prize notifications are sent (or more
claims are received) than the number of prizes offered as set forth in these
Official Rules, Sponsor reserves the right to award the intended number of
prizes through a random drawing from among all eligible prize
notifications/claims received. In the event there is a discrepancy or
inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any
Sweepstakes-related materials or notifications and these Official Rules, these
Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control.
7. Limitations
of Liability:
The Released Parties are not responsible for: (a) any incorrect or inaccurate
information, either caused by printing errors or by any of the equipment or
programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or provided by
entrants; (b) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to,
malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections to the internet, in phone lines,
social media platforms, or network hardware or software; (c) unauthorized human
intervention in any part of the Sweepstakes, including, but not limited to, the
entry process; (d) technical or human error which may occur in the
administration of the Sweepstakes, including, but not limited to, the
processing of entries; (e) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail;
or (f) lost, late, unreceived, damaged, incomplete, invalid, un-intelligible,
garbled, delayed or misdirected entries or failure to receive entries due to
limitation of third-party social network platforms. If for any reason an
entrant's entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or
otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the
Sweepstakes, if it is possible.
8. WAIVER AND DISPUTES: Except where
prohibited, each entrant (and their parent/legal guardian if the entrant is a Minor)
agrees that: (a) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out
of or connected with this Sweepstakes or any prize shall be resolved individually, without resort to any
form of class action, and exclusively by the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Michigan or the appropriate Michigan State Court
located in Oakland County, Michigan; (b) any and all claims, judgments and
awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs
associated with entering this Sweepstakes, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and
(c) to the extent allowed by applicable law, under no circumstances will
entrant (AND THEIR PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN IF ENTRANT IS A MINOR) be permitted to
obtain awards for, and entrant (AND THEIR PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN IF ENTRANT IS A
MINOR) hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect, punitive, incidental and
consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual
out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or
otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR
EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and
obligations of the entrant (and their parent/legal guardian if the
entrant is a Minor) and
Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Michigan or
any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan. Furthermore, EACH entrant (AND THEIR PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN IF
ENTRANT IS A MINOR) and each of the Promotion Parties hereby waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right THEY may have to a trial
by jury in respect of any claim or dispute arising from or relating to the
Sweepstakes or these Official Rules.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of these Official Rules shall 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 shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be
construed as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
