Philip Stein National First Responders Day Giveaway: Official Rules

Before any prize is awarded, the potential Winner must submit proof that they are currently serving as a first responder. Any reasonable form of proof will be accepted, such as a department or agency ID badge, a current EMT or paramedic certification, or a letter from their employer or agency, with any sensitive personal information (such as ID numbers or home address) covered or removed. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether the proof submitted is sufficient. If the potential Winner cannot provide satisfactory proof, the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. 

For any and all prizing, the Winner may be required to complete, sign, and return within three (3) days a liability and publicity release, unless prohibited by law. If the potential Winner refuses to comply with the above requirements or if a prize notification is returned as undeliverable, that potential Winner’s prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner selected in a random drawing from all remaining eligible entries received, at Sponsor’s sole discretion. The prize will be awarded within 4–6 weeks of verification of the Winner.

VI. Special Giveaway Limitation 

Any attempts by an individual to enter via a bot script or other brute-force attack will result in that Instagram account becoming ineligible. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel or modify the Giveaway without notice or liability if the Giveaway otherwise cannot operate as planned. Sponsor and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent company, and agencies assume no responsibility for any loss or damage to entrants’ or to any other person’s computer or mobile device relating to, or resulting from, entering or downloading any information or software in connection with the Giveaway.

If any of the foregoing malfunctions, errors, fraud, unauthorized intervention, or defects render the Giveaway incapable of operating as planned or corrupt the integrity, or affect the administration, security, or fairness of the Giveaway, Sponsor, at its sole discretion, may suspend or cancel the Giveaway immediately. Under no circumstances will more prizes than those set forth in these full Official Rules be awarded. If a technical error or the like occurs that results in more potential winners than available prizes, Sponsor may elect to hold a random drawing from all eligible claims received to award the number of prizes which have not yet been awarded.

Sponsor further reserves the right to disqualify any individual who tampers with the entry process. Sponsor may prohibit an entrant from participating in the Giveaway if it determines that said entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Giveaway by cheating, hacking, deception, or other unfair playing practices or intending to abuse, threaten, or harass other entrants. Any attempt by an entrant or any other individual to deliberately damage, interfere with, or undermine the legitimate operation of this Giveaway is a violation of criminal and/or civil laws, and should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies 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. Except where prohibited, all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant or Sponsor shall be resolved individually, without resorting to any form of class action, and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Connecticut, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Connecticut or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Connecticut. In addition, any dispute relating to the Giveaway (including these Official Rules) shall be brought in the appropriate state or federal court having jurisdiction over the subject matter located in Connecticut. Entrants hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of said courts and waive any claim of forum non conveniens or lack of personal jurisdiction that they may have.
