METHODS
OF
ENTRY: An eligible entrant
(“Entrant”) may enter
using one (1) of three (3) methods of entry:
a.
Entry
Method
1: Upon completing a
purchase at a participating
Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us® retail store, the
customer will
receive an invitation to participate in a survey (“Survey”).
This invitation
will be printed on the Toys “R” Us or Babies “R” Us receipt.
Under this method
of entry, the customer must complete the Survey, which will
automatically enter
the customer into the Sweepstakes. The customer must log on to
the URL provided
on the receipt and complete the Survey within the time period
noted on the
receipt. After completing the Survey, the customer will be asked
if he/she
wishes to enter the Promotion. If the customer is an eligible
Entrant and
wishes to participate in the Promotion, he/she must then enter
the requested
information which may include: his/her complete first and last
name (no
initials), valid e-mail address, complete street address (no
P.O. Box), Zip
Code and age. After entering this information, the Entrant must
click the
submit button and he/she will be entered into the Sweepstakes
Period for the
calendar month when his/her entry is received. Limit one (1)
Entry per receipt.
b.
Entry
Method
2: Any person who creates
a Babies “R” Us
Registry online will receive an e-mail within twenty-four (24)
hours to his/her
e-mail address which will include the invitation to participate
in the Survey.
Under this method of entry, the customer must complete the
Survey, which will
automatically enter the customer into the Sweepstakes. The customer must log
on to the URL provided
in the e-mail and complete the Survey. Limit one (1) Entry per
registry
created. Babies “R” Us Registries must be created by February 1,
2015.
c.
Entry
Method
3 (alternative method of entry): This entry method
is for those who have not made a purchase or have not registered
at Babies “R”
Us. Under this method of entry, during the Promotion Period,
visit https://survey.foreseeresults.com/babiesrus
and
follow the steps to receive
an entry into a Sweepstakes Period, including providing the
registration
information requested above.
The
entry date will be the date that the Entrant either completes
the survey or
enters by the alternative method of entry and is thereby entered
into the
Promotion, not the date of the receipt. Therefore, it is
possible for an
Entrant to complete a purchase during one Sweepstakes Period and
receive an
entry into the next Sweepstakes Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing,
regardless of the method of entry, an Entrant may only enter the
Promotion once
per calendar day during the Promotion Period. A calendar day
starts at 12:00 AM
ET (midnight) and ends at 11:59:59 PM ET each day during the
Promotion Period.
To
be eligible for a Prize, the Entrant must be in compliance with
the Official
Rules. Each Entrant
must be the authorized
account holder of a valid e-mail account. Entries generated by a
script, macro,
or other automated means will be disqualified. Entries that are
incomplete,
non-deliverable for any reason, garbled, corrupted, or
unintelligible for any
reason, including, but not limited to, computer or network
malfunction or
congestion, are void and will not be accepted. In case of a
dispute over the
identity of an Entrant, the authorized account holder of the
e-mail address
used to enter will be deemed to be the Entrant. “Authorized
account holder” is
defined as the person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an
Internet
access provider, online service provider, or other organization
that is
responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain
associated with the
submitted e-mail address. Entry constitutes permission (except
where prohibited
by law) to use Entrant’s name, city, state, likeness, image,
and/or voice for
purposes of advertising, promotion, and publicity in any and all
media now or
hereafter known, throughout the world in perpetuity, without
additional
compensation, notification, permission, or approval.
4.
RANDOM
DRAWING: On or about each of
the Random Drawing Dates
below, Administrator will randomly select five (5) potential
winners (each, a
“Winner”) from among all eligible entries received during each
Sweepstakes
Period. Each Winner will be deemed a potential Winner pending
verification of
eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Entrants
must enter
during each Sweepstakes Period to be eligible to win a Prize for
that
Sweepstakes Period. Entries will not be carried over from one
Sweepstakes
Period to the next Sweepstakes Period.

longer be an eligible Entrant for all the future Periodic
Sweepstakes Drawings.
Prizes are non-transferrable and non-substitutable, except by
Sponsor in its
sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a
similar Prize of
comparable or greater value. All taxes and other expenses,
costs, or fees
associated with the acceptance and/or use of a Prize(s) are the
sole
responsibility of Winner(s). If a Prize is unclaimed within a
reasonable time
after notification from Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its
sole
discretion, it will be forfeited, and, time permitting, an
alternate Winner may
be selected from the remaining eligible entries at Sponsor’s
sole discretion.
d.
Odds
of
Winning: Odds of winning a
Prize depend on the number
of eligible entries received during each Sweepstakes Period.
