Schedule

The Sweepstakes consists of a series of sweepstakes, with a new sweepstakes being offered each calendar month. Each monthly sweepstakes begins at 12:00:01 a.m. US Pacific Time (PT) on the first calendar day of the month and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. PT on the last calendar day of the month (each respective month a “Sweepstakes Period”). By posting notice on www.speedcubeshop.com, Promoter reserves the right to modify the timing of future monthly sweepstakes and/or cease offering future monthly sweepstakes. Promoter’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Sweepstakes.

How to Enter

There are two ways to enter the sweepstakes:

1. VIA TEXT: During the Sweepstakes Period, submit your entry by sending an SMS (“Text Message”) containing only the word “GIVEAWAY” to +1 (855) 523-1919 using your wireless mobile device. In order to submit any entry by text message, Participant must: (i) have a plan with a wireless carrier that includes a text messaging service; and (ii) use a wireless device that is capable of two-way text messaging. By sending a Text Message to enter, you signify that you understand that Promoter will send an automated reply text message to the phone number associated with the wireless mobile device you used to enter confirming your entry into the Sweepstakes and your consent to receive that message. You also consent to being notified via text message to the phone number associated with the wireless mobile device you used to enter if you are selected as a winner. By entering via Text Message, you may receive a text message in response from the Promoter to the phone number associated with the wireless mobile device you used to enter asking if you wish to receive offers from the Promoter or third parties. You may be charged a fee for message transmission and delivery by your cellular network carrier. If you opt to enter via your wireless mobile device (which is not required to enter the Sweepstakes and may only be available via participating wireless carriers), standard text messaging and/or data rates may apply for each message sent or received from your handset according to the terms and conditions of your service agreement with your wireless carrier. Other charges may apply (such as normal airtime and carrier charges) and may appear on your mobile phone bill or be deducted from your prepaid account balance. Wireless carriers’ rate plans may vary, and you should contact your wireless carrier for more information on messaging rate plans and charges relating to your participation in this Sweepstakes. Text messaging may not be available from all mobile phone service carriers and handset models. Mobile device service may not be available in all areas. Check your phone’s capabilities for specific instructions. Text STOP to cancel. You may opt out of such marketing text messages at any time, however, if you opt out of such marketing text messages before the Winner is drawn, then the entry associated with this method will be disqualified.
2. Entry via Submitting Email Address: During the Sweepstakes Period, enter your email address through this form. Normal Internet access, phone, and usage charges imposed by your online or phone service may apply. Promotor and Sweepstakes Entities may use your personal information submitted with entry for purposes of Prize fulfillment and/or for future marketing by Promoter, such as to notify you of a product or promotion that Promoter thinks may be of interest. You may opt out of such marketing emails at any time, however, if you opt out of such marketing emails before the Winner is drawn, then the entry associated with this method will be disqualified.

Limit of one (1) entry per Sweepstakes per entry method per person, for a maximum of two (2) entries per Sweepstakes per person; additional entries by any one individual are void. Submitting an entry by either method for any Sweepstakes will automatically enter Participant in each subsequent Sweepstakes for as long as Participant remains opted in to receive Promotor’s SMS marketing communications (if Participant enters by SMS) and/or Promotor’s email marketing communications (if Participant enters by email). Entries generated by macro, script, or other automated means are void. Entries generated by robotic, macro, script, or other automated means are void. Any entrant using fraudulent means to participate in the Sweepstakes will be disqualified and may be guilty of violating applicable criminal laws. Eligibility is at the exclusive discretion of Promoter, and Promoter shall be entitled to reject any entrant for any reason or no reason at all without having to provide an explanation. Promoter reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, suspend, or terminate the Sweepstakes for any reason and without prior notice to any Participant. In such instance, Promoter may, if and as appropriate, select a winner using reasonable means that are materially consistent with the Sweepstakes.

In the event of a dispute over who submitted a winning entry, the authorized account holder of the email address or the phone number associated with the wireless mobile device used to participate in the Sweepstakes at the actual time of entry will be deemed to be the Participant. The authorized account holder of a particular email address is defined as the natural person who assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. The authorized account holder of a phone number associated with the wireless mobile device used to participate in the Sweepstakes is defined as the natural person who is assigned a mobile phone number by a wireless carrier. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to the Promoter or forfeit the Prizes. Multiple Participants are not permitted to share the same email account or wireless mobile device phone number. Entries with an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address or phone number will be disqualified and ineligible to win.

Provision of Materials and Information/Intellectual Property

By entering into the Sweepstakes, Participant represents and warrants as follows: (1) that it fully owns or has properly licensed whatever materials or information it submits hereunder in connection with the Sweepstakes and can make such submissions without violating any applicable law, agreement with any third-party, and/or third-party right of any kind (including without limitation any intellectual property, data protection, privacy, or publicity right); and (2) that any and all materials or information provided by it hereunder shall be true and correct in all respects. Furthermore, without limitation on anything set forth herein to the contrary, Promoter shall have the irrevocable, transferable, and fully sublicensable right and license (but not the obligation) to exploit any and all such materials or information in any manner it so elects to promote the Sweepstakes, its business, brand, products, and/or services, throughout the world in perpetuity, and in any and all media, now or hereafter known.

Random Drawing; Prizes; Notifying Prize Winners

A random drawing will be conducted on or about the third calendar day following each Sweepstakes by Promoter to select a winner (the “Winner”) from among all eligible entries received. Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received.

Within five (5) business days after Promoter selects a potential Winner, Promoter will contact the potential Winner via email, using the email address used to enter (if a potential Winner entered via email), or text message, using the phone number associated with the wireless mobile device used to enter (if a potential Winner entered via text message) (the “Notification”). Failure to respond within the applicable time period will result in forfeiture of the prize, which will be an item of merchandise from Promoter’s online store with an average retail value of at least $31.95  (the “Prize”), and Promoter shall have the option to award the Prize to an alternate Winner. The actual Prize and value of each Prize will vary for each Sweepstakes. The return of the Notification or Prize as undeliverable may also result in disqualification and an alternate Winner may be selected. Promoter is not responsible for digital communications that are undeliverable as a result of any filtering of any kind, insufficient space in a Participant’s account, or any other failure beyond its reasonable control. In the event of a dispute with respect to entries received from more than one user having the same email address/account, the authorized subscriber of the account in question at the time of entry will be deemed the proper entrant. A potential Winner will also forfeit his or her Prize if he or she is disqualified as not eligible to have participated in the Sweepstakes in the first instance.

Subject to applicable law, the Prize is offered “as is” without any express or implied warranty of any kind or nature, including without limitation, any warranty respecting condition, merchantability, quality, title, or fitness for a particular purpose. Promoter is not responsible for replacing the Prize if damaged unless such damage is caused by Promoter.

Arrangements for fulfillment of the Prizes will be made by Promoter. All costs and expenses not specifically listed as part of a Prize are solely each Winner’s responsibility. Upon entry into the Sweepstakes, the Winners (as well as all other Participants) are required to comply with any and all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations. All federal, state and local taxes (if any), and any other costs and expenses associated with the Prizes not specifically provided for in these Official Rules, are solely the Winners’ responsibility. Promotor shall have no responsibility or obligation to the Winners or potential Winners who are unable or unavailable to accept or utilize a Prize(s) as described herein. No substitution, transfer or cash equivalent for the Prizes or any portion thereof is permitted, except by Promoter, in which case a prize of comparable or greater value may be awarded. Promoter will not replace lost or stolen Prizes.
