TIMING

The “Poderistas Holiday Sweepstakes” (the “Sweepstakes”) begins on 12/7/2021 16:00:00 PST (the “Sweepstakes Start Date”) and ends on 12/17/2021 16:00:00 PST (the “Sweepstakes End Date”) (such period referred to herein as the “Sweepstakes Entry Period”). All times are measured by Pacific Time (PT) in the United States, which is the time in Los Angeles, CA.  The Sweepstakes is administered by Poderistas (the “Administrator”) and sponsored by Harness, Inc.

ELIGIBILITY

The Sweepstakes is only open to individuals who are at least thirteen (13) years of age at the time of entry. Entrants under the age of eighteen (18) years (or the majority in their jurisdiction of legal residence) must have the permission of their parent or legal guardian to enter and/or win, and will need to have a parent or legal guardian sign any required documents for winner validation. Entries are limited to individuals only; commercial enterprises and business entities are not eligible. By participating in the Sweepstakes, each participant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by the terms and conditions stated in these Official Rules and the Terms of Service, which shall be final and binding in all respects, agrees to be bound by the decisions of Administrator, and warrants that she/he is eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes. Employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors of Administrator, and its respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies, and legal advisors, and their immediate family members and persons living in the same household, are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes. Subject to all applicable laws.

HOW TO ENTER

To enter the Sweepstakes, visit the Administrator’s Instagram page or Facebook page during the Sweepstakes Entry Period, and follow the on-screen instructions to enter.  All posted instructions must be followed for entry to be valid. Incomplete entries are void.

Each valid entry earns one entry. Proof of submission of an entry is not proof of receipt. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. No responsibility is assumed for illegible, lost, late, damaged, incomplete, misdirected, or stolen entries. Administrator may have similar offers at the same time as this Sweepstakes. Each sweepstakes is separate. Entry into one sweepstakes is not entry into any other sweepstakes.

SELECTION OF WINNER

On or about 12/17/2021 PST (the “Drawing Date”), Administrator will select the potential Sweepstakes winner (“Potential Winner”) in accordance with these Official Rules. The Administrator’s database computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes. The Potential Winner will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received by the Administrator during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The Potential Winner will be notified by email and/or by telephone on or about the Drawing Date, using the email address or telephone number provided with the selected entry, and will be conditionally awarded one of the Sweepstakes Prizes (hereinafter defined) subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms and conditions of these Official Rules. If a Potential Winner does not respond within 24 hours after the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such Potential Winner, such Potential Winner may be disqualified and an alternate Potential Winner may be selected. The notification will include instructions for how to contact the Administrator to provide name, address and other information that may be required to complete validation of eligibility and delivery of a prize. No liability is assumed for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a Potential Winner for any reason. At Administrator’s discretion, a background check (“Background Check”) may be performed with respect to the Potential Winner as part of the process to confirm any Potential Winner’s eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules and the Terms of Service, which Background Check such Potential Winner would have to pass in order to receive the prize. By entering the Sweepstakes, entrant agrees to cooperate fully with any such Background Check, and to execute and deliver to Administrator all required authorizations and approvals for said Background Check to be conducted. Failure to cooperate may result in disqualification. If the prize includes the opportunity to meet a celebrity, attend a special event, or participate in any similar activity, or if Administrator intends to publicize the winner in any way, and if a background check reveals that a Potential Winner has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation or business of Administrator, as determined by Administrator in its discretion, the Potential Winner may be disqualified and the prize may be awarded to an alternate Potential Winner, time permitting.

In the event that a Potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, Administrator may award the applicable prize to an alternate Potential Winner who will be selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. The selected Potential Winner must execute all consents as provided by applicable law. Odds of winning a Sweepstakes Prize (hereinafter defined) depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period.

VERIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNER

EACH POTENTIAL WINNER IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY ADMINISTRATOR. ADMINISTRATOR’S DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE ADMINISTRATION, OPERATION, SELECTION OF THE POTENTIAL WINNER AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. Potential Winner may be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and/or Publicity Release in the form(s) provided by Administrator (where permitted by law) (collectively, the “Affidavit”) by the date specified by Administrator, or such Potential Winner will be disqualified and an alternate Potential Winner may be selected. If Potential Winner is a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Administrator reserves the right to award the prize to the Potential Winner’s parent or legal guardian, who must also execute all documents on behalf of the minor. In the event: (a) Potential Winner cannot be reached within 24 hours of initial notification from Administrator, or for whatever reason after a reasonable effort has been exerted, or the Potential Winner notification or Affidavit is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable; (b) Potential Winner declines or cannot accept, receive or use the prize for any reason; (c) of noncompliance with the above or within any of the aforesaid time periods, (d) Potential Winner is found to be ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes or receive the prize, (e) Potential Winner cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules or Terms of Service, or (f) Potential Winner fails to fulfill the Affidavit-related obligations or fails to pass the Background Check in Administrator’s reasonable discretion. Administrator reserves the right to modify the notification and Affidavit procedures in connection with the selection of an alternate Potential Winner, if any. A Potential Winner will be declared the Sweepstakes Winner (as defined below) when all of the conditions described in sections 4 and 5 are fulfilled to the satisfaction of Administrator. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of the entrant, any online entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail account provided to Administrator the time of entry and/or registration, provided such account holder must still meet the eligibility requirements for the Sweepstakes.
