2. Description of the Sweepstakes.
(a) These Official Rules (“Official Rules”) govern the Predicto Mobile 2010-2011 $50,000 Giveaway (all prizes are awarded in Canadian dollars) (the “Sweepstakes”) sponsored by Predicto Mobile LLC ("Sponsor," "we" or "us"). The Sweepstakes begins on April 15, 2010 at 12:00:01 AM Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends on April 14, 2011 at 11:59:59 PM ET (the "Promotion Period").
(b) The Sweepstakes consists of twelve (12) monthly random drawings one for each Monthly Promotion Period (as defined below), and one (1) random drawing for a grand prize ("Grand Prize") which will be drawn at the end of the Promotion Period. The entry dates and draw dates for the Monthly draws and the Grand Prize draw are set forth in attached Schedule 1.
(c) For the purposes of these Official Rules, a “Monthly Promotion Period" is defined as the 15th day of a calendar month during the Promotion Period at 12:00:01 AM ET through the 14th day of the succeeding calendar month at 11:59:59 PM ET.
3. Eligibility.
To enter and be eligible to win a prize in the Sweepstakes an entrant must be at the time of entry (a) an individual legal resident of Canada (excluding Quebec); (b) located in Canada (excluding Quebec); (c) a registered or Basic Member of Predicto Mobile (see Rule 4(a) below for instructions on how to register); and, (d) of the age of majority in his/her province or territory of residence. Employees, officers, and directors of Sponsor or SCA Promotions, Inc. (“SCA”), their respective legal representatives, affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, advertising, promotional, fulfillment and marketing agencies, their respective immediate families (defined as parents, siblings, children and spouses regardless of where they reside) and households (whether related or not) are not eligible to enter the Sweepstakes. By participating, you agree to abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor and those of SCA, which are final and binding in all respects.
4. How to Participate.
(a)Registration - If you are not already registered as a Premium or Basic Member (as those terms are defined on the Predicto Mobile Canada Member Terms (“Member Terms”) which are displayed at ca.predicto.com), visit ca.predict.com (the “Website”) and follow the instructions to register as either a Premium or Basic Member. You can also register as a Premium Member by responding to an advertisement for Predicto Mobile on the Internet or in other media. A Premium Member is subject to registration fees as outlined in the Member Terms which are displayed on the Website. There is no cost to register as a Basic Member. Each entrant must have a two-digit Grand Prize Key to be eligible to win the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize Key for Premium Members will be the last two digits of the cell phone number they provided when they registered. Basic Members who registered during the Promotion Period will be prompted during their registration to select a two digit number from the range of 00 to 99 and that number will be considered their Grand Prize Key. Those Basic Members who registered on the Website prior to the Promotion Period, will be randomly assigned a two digit number by the Sponsor and, in such a case, Basic Members may request their Grand Prize Key by contacting customer support at cs_support_ca@predicto.
(b) There are two means of entering the Sweepstakes (each an “Entry”) which are described below: a “Mobile Entry” (available to Premium Members) and a “Web Entry” (available to Basic Members). Both Premium Members and Basic Members have an equal chance to win.
(c)Mobile Entry - Premium Members will receive various surveys (“Surveys”), generally on celebrity and current news events, throughout the Promotion Period via SMS text message. Each response to a Survey will result in one (1) Entry into the Sweepstakes. Limit one (1) Entry per Survey. Standard message and data rates may apply in addition to any Premium Member subscription rates. All charges will be billed on a Premium Members wireless phone bill or deducted from his/her prepaid balance. Sponsor makes no guarantee that any particular wireless service provider will participate or continue to be a participating carrier. Entering by the Mobile Entry method will not improve a person’s chances of winning.
(d)Web Entry - Basic Members can enter the Sweepstakes by visiting the Website and submitting their responses to the same Surveys that are SMS text messaged to Premium Members. Each Survey response through the Website will result in one (1) Entry into the Sweepstakes. Limit one (1) Entry per Survey. Premium Members are also eligible to enter via Web Entry, however the limit of one (1) Entry per Survey still applies, regardless of how the Survey is answered.
5. Drawings: Selection of Winners.
(a)Monthly Drawing. Each eligible Survey response will result in one (1) Entry into the Monthly Drawing associated with that Monthly Promotion Period in accordance with attached Schedule 1. Monthly drawings will be conducted approximately ten days after the close of Monthly Promotion Period as set forth in attached Schedule 1. Non-winning monthly Entries will not be rolled over into subsequent monthly drawings.
IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE AT LEAST ONE MOBILE OR WEB ENTRY FOR ANY MONTHLY PROMOTION PERIOD OR WHERE WE DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR ENTRY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, YOU WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE APPLICABLE MONTHLY PRIZE.
(b)Grand Prize Drawing. Each eligible Survey response will also result in one (1) Entry into the Grand Prize Drawing. Prior to the Promotion Period, SCA will randomly pre-select one (1) set of two (2) digit numbers from the range of 00-99 which will be considered the “Grand Prize Number”. On or about May 1, 2011, one (1) Entry will be selected via a random drawing from among all eligible Entries made during the entire Promotion Period (the “Grand Prize Finalist”). If the Grand Prize Finalists’ Grand Prize Key matches the Grand Prize Number exactly and in order, the Grand Prize Finalist will be eligible to win the Grand Prize. If the Grand Prize Finalists’ Grand Prize Key does not match the Grand Prize Number exactly and in order, the Grand Prize Finalist is not eligible to win the Grand Prize. Sponsor reserves the right to select up to two (2) alternate Grand Prize Finalists, subject to the same process above, after which time no further Grand Prize Finalists will be selected and the Grand Prize will go unawarded. There is no guarantee that the Grand Prize will be awarded.
IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE AT LEAST ONE MOBILE OR WEB ENTRY DURING THE PROMOTION PERIOD OR WHERE WE DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR ENTRY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, YOU WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE GRAND PRIZE.
(c)Odds of Winning. Odds of winning a Monthly Prize will depend on the number of eligible Entries received during the respective Monthly Promotion Period. Odds of being selected as the Grand Prize Finalist will depend on the number of eligible Entries received during the entire Promotion Period. Odds of a Grand Prize Finalist having the Grand Prize Key to be eligible to win the Grand Prize are 1 in 100.
