Odds of being a selected entrant in respect of any particular Weekly Draw depend on the total number of eligible entries received on or before the end of each Weekly Draw period. Each Weekly Draw will be conducted by Activis Inc. If for any reason there are no eligible entries for a particular Weekly Draw, the Prize will not be awarded. The entrant selected in each Weekly Draw will be contacted by email within two (2) business days of the Weekly Draw date. If the selected entrant (a) does not respond to the email within three (3) business days or receipt; (b) fails to correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question posed; or (c) fails to return the email to Atlantic Promotions Inc. agreeing to and accepting to be bound by the terms of the Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form which includes a standard declaration of compliance with these Official Rules and release within the specified time, then he/she will forfeit the Prize for the applicable Weekly Draw and another entrant will be randomly selected until such time as the Prize is awarded to a selected entrant or there are no eligible entries for the applicable Weekly Draw, whichever comes first. The Contest Sponsor will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact a selected entrant.
To be eligible to win the Grand Prize, participants must have entered in any of the six (6) Weekly Draws. The Grand Prize Draw will take place Monday March 5th, 2012.
- Prize:
There are a total of six (6) Weekly Draw Prizes and one (1) Grand Prize to be won. Each Weekly Draw Prize is worth $100 of free products on Atlantic Promotions corporate web site (listed in section 5) and Grand Prize is worth $1000 of free products on this web site.
- General:
To be declared a winner of a Prize, each selected entrant must answer correctly, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical skill-testing question sent by email. Each selected entrant will also be required to complete the Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form and indicate in the checkbox provided that he or she has read, agrees to and accepts to be bound by the terms of the Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form.
Once the Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form is signed and returned to the Contest Sponsor, the Winner will be given a promotional code. To claim the prize, the winner will need to visit one of our partner web sites and order products for a retail value of $100 or more and enter the promotional code. Once the transaction is completed, the first $100 of the order will be free. The transaction to redeem the prize will need to be made before April 30, 2012.
To claim the grand prize, the winner will need to follow the same steps. It is important to note that redeeming the prize can’t be done in two separate orders; the global amount will need to be spent in the same transaction with the promotional code. The grand prize must be redeemed before April 30, 2012.
