send an email to questapalooza@helloworldfulfillment.com
with the subject line “Questapalooza
Sweepstakes Entry” and provide your name, valid email address, Xbox
Live Gamertag (if you have one), mailing address, and date of birth in the
body of the email. Upon receipt of the email, you will receive ten (10)
entries into the Sweepstakes. Proof
of sending will not be deemed proof of receipt by Administrator. No
entries will be acknowledged or replied to. Sponsor and Administrator are not responsible
for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, or misdirected
entries, which will be disqualified.
No entries will be acknowledged.
Limit: You may enter eleven (11) times during the Promotion
Period regardless of method or combination of methods of entry, for a total of
one hundred ten (110) entries. Multiple
entrants are not permitted to share
the same email address. Any attempt by any entrant to
obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email
addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void
that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to
participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder
of the email address used to
register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the
natural person 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. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder.
5. Drawings: Administrator
is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the
Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in
all matters related to the
Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes
winners from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or
around August 19, 2019. The potential
winners will be notified by email via the address connected to his/her Xbox
Live account or provided in his/her emailed entry. Each potential winner of a prize valued at
$600 or more (or parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of
residence) 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 four (4) days of the date notice or attempted notice
is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. Each potential winner of a prize valued less
than $600 will be required to provide his/her full name, mailing address and
date of birth for eligibility and prize fulfillment purposes within four (4) days
of the date notice or attempted notice in sent, in order to claim his/her
prize. If a potential winner of any prize
cannot be contacted, fails to sign
and return the Declaration or provide any other requested information within
the required time period, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the
potential winner forfeits his/her prize.
Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official
Rules. In the event that a potential
winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among
all remaining eligible entries. Only
three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain
un-awarded. Non-travel prizes will be fulfilled
within approximately 10-12 weeks after winner confirmation is complete.
