Total value of all prizes is CAN $18,000. Prepaid gift cards are subject to the terms and conditions found or referenced on card. Prizes are not transferable, assignable or convertible to cash except as otherwise provided herein and must be accepted as awarded. No substitution shall be permitted except at the sole discretion of Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize with cash or another prize of comparable or greater value. Odds of winning a prize will depend on the number of eligible entries received during the corresponding Monthly Entry Period.
- Winner Selection and Notification: The content of answers to the survey has no effect on an entrant’s ability to participate or win. A random drawing for each prize will take place at the offices of the Sponsor in Toronto, ON, on or about the fifteenth business day following the end of each Monthly Entry Period, from among all eligible entries received during the applicable Monthly Entry Period. Entries from each Monthly Entry Period will NOT be carried over into subsequent Monthly Entry Periods.
Potential winners will be notified by email only, and will be required to complete and return, within the specified time, a declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release (the “Release”) which will also include a mathematical skill-testing question, which must be correctly answered without assistance or mechanical aid. The Release must be executed and returned using Adobe Sign—no other form of submission will be accepted. Any use of Adobe Sign will be at Sponsor’s sole expense—recipient is not required to maintain an Adobe Sign account. If any prize notification is returned as undeliverable, if a potential winner cannot be contacted, if required documents are not returned and received by the Sponsor via Adobe Sign within the time specified in the notification, if the mathematical skill-testing question is answered incorrectly, or if a potential winner declines the prize or otherwise does not comply with these Official Rules, the potential winner will be disqualified, the prize will be forfeited, and an alternate potential winner will be selected by random drawing from among the remaining eligible entries, subject to the requirements and limitations above. Decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding on all entrants. Prizes will be delivered to confirmed winners by the Sponsor within 4-6 weeks of winner verification and compliance with all documentation requirements.
