Entrants must complete all required information here, including your first name, last name, and email address. An entry is “received” when an eligible participant completes the Survey and the servers for the Survey administrator record the information (each, an “Entry”). Only one Entry is permitted for each Survey invitation sent via email. There is no cost to enter the Sweepstakes. Entries must be made by November 30, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. PST to qualify for entry.

You may enter only once.

The winner must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in these Rules in order to qualify for the prize. In the event of a dispute over the identity of a Sweepstakes entrant, each Entry will be deemed submitted by the registered account holder of the email address associated with the Entry. If the Sponsor is not able to verify to its satisfaction the identity of the individual who actually submitted the Entry selected as the Sweepstakes winner, the affected Entry will be deemed ineligible and the Sponsor will draw another Entry as Sweepstakes winner.

ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open to individuals who: (a) are 18 years of age or older at time of Entry, and (b) have received from Sponsor an email message with a website link requesting that they complete the Survey OR who have visited the link to the Survey listed on the Sponsor’s website. Employees, officers and directors of the Sponsor, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, representatives and agencies, and members of their immediate families (spouses, parents, siblings and children, regardless of where they live) and those living in the same household are not eligible to enter or win the Sweepstakes.

PRIZE: One gift basket from an Accion Opportunity Fund-backed small business, with an approximate retail value of $100, fulfilled electronically. The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of each Prize is $100. Any difference between the actual retail value of a prize and the ARV will not be awarded. The actual retail value may vary depending on variables. No substitution, assignment or transfer of any prizes are permitted, except by Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute the prizes with another of comparable or greater value.

ODDS OF WINNING: Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible Entries received within the Entry Period for this Sweepstakes.

PRIZE DRAWING: A random drawing will be conducted from among all eligible Entries received during the Entry Period for the Sweepstakes. The prize drawing will be conducted by the Survey administrator within 15 calendar days after the Entry Period ends. Each entry will be assigned a random number. At the end of the entry period a random number generator will be used to select the winner. The process will be recorded.

WINNER(S) NOTIFICATION: The winner(s) will be notified via telephone and/or e-mail and is subject to verification of eligibility.

PRIZE RESTRICTIONS: The prize is not transferable. If the winner fails to claim the prize within five days of notification, fails to abide by these Rules, or is otherwise ineligible, Sponsor may select an alternate winner from all remaining eligible Entries. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value without notice. All decisions on matters pertaining to the Sweepstakes are final. All federal, state and local taxes, fees and surcharges on prizes are the sole responsibility of the prize winner. Sponsor will not replace any gift card prize that is lost or stolen once delivered to the winner.
