In these Rules, “Authorized Account Holder” means the natural person who is assigned an email address by an internet service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain name associated with the email address in question.
7. RANDOM DRAW AND WINNER NOTIFICATION/CONFIRMATION
On or about August 31, 2023, four (4) potential winners will be selected at random by a computerized drawing from the pool of eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. The drawing will take place at the business address of the Sponsor. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible Entries received.
The potential winner(s) will be notified by email (using the email address provided during the free FLCKN account creation (sign-up) part of the entry process) and must reply within 72 hours of being notified thereof as follows. FLCKN will attempt to contact the potential winner(s) by email two (2) times.
Before being confirmed as a winner, the selected entrant(s) will be required to sign and return, within 72 hours of notification, an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Waiver, and a W-9 Form, (collectively, the “Releases”). The Releases will require the potential winner to furnish their Social Security Number for the sole purpose of tax reporting, as required by law. Noncompliance will result in disqualification, and an alternate winner may be selected for the applicable Prize in a separate random drawing from the remaining eligible entries submitted and received in accordance with these Rules. Following that, the Prize(s) will be made available.
If the potential winner cannot be contacted within 72 hours of notification, or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable; then they may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be disqualified (and, if disqualified, will forfeit any and all rights to the applicable Prize(s)) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion to randomly select an alternate eligible entrant for the applicable Prize(s) in a separate random drawing from the remaining eligible entries submitted and received in accordance with these Rules.
No one is a winner unless and until the Sponsor officially confirms him/her as a winner in accordance with these Rules.
