Participation constitutes Entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules as well as Sponsor’s and/or Administrator’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

 

3.    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.

5.    PRIZES, APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”), AND ODDS OF WINNING:

 

a.    Prizes (5 per Sweepstakes Period):  Each Sweepstakes Period the five (5) Winners will each receive a $500 gift card from the store brand for which the Winner completed a Survey (Toys “R” Us or Babies “R” Us) (“Prize”). ARV of each Prize: $500. 

 

b.    Total ARV:  The total ARV of all available prizes in each Sweepstakes Period is $2,500.

 

c.    General Conditions on Prizes:  A maximum of five (5) Gift Cards may be applied to an order. Gift cards may be applied towards the price, gift wrap, shipping, and tax charges for eligible items. Each gift card is subject to the terms and conditions set forth thereon which shall govern the use of the gift card. The use of a gift card constitutes the user’s acceptance of the terms and conditions so Winners should read the terms and conditions on the gift card carefully. Each Winner must protect the gift card and treat the gift card as he/she would any other valuable document. Gift cards will not be redeemed or exchanged for cash, except where required by law. Gift cards will not be replaced or replenished if lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed or used without the Winner’s permission, and will be voided if altered or defaced. Limit one (1) Prize per household for the entire Promotion Period. After winning a Prize, the household will no 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.

 

6.    WINNER NOTIFICATION AND FULFILLMENT:  Potential Winners will be notified on or about the Notification Dates defined in Section 4 of these Official Rules by e-mail using the contact information provided at the time of entry.                  

 

If a potential Winner is ineligible for any reason, then the potential Winner will be disqualified and an alternate Winner may be selected. Noncompliance with these Official Rules or the return of any prize/prize notification may result in disqualification and, at Sponsors’ discretion, an alternate potential winner may be selected by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries received during the applicable Sweepstakes Period. Federal, state, and local taxes imposed on Prizes are the sole responsibility of the Winner. Administrator will ship the Prize directly to the Winner within approximately 6 to 8 weeks of the notification date.

 

7.    CONDITIONS:  By entering the Promotion, each Entrant agrees for Entrant and for Entrant’s heirs, executors, and administrators (a) to release and hold harmless Promotion Entities and their respective officers, directors, and employees (collectively, “Released Parties”) from any liability, illness, injury, death, loss, litigation, or damage that may occur, directly or indirectly, whether caused by negligence or not, from such Entrant’s participation in the Promotion and/or his/her acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of the Prize or any portion thereof; (b) to indemnify Released Parties from any and all liability resulting or arising from the Promotion and to hereby acknowledge that Released Parties have neither made nor are in any manner responsible or liable for any warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, relative to Prize, including express warranties provided exclusively by Prize supplier that are sent along with Prize; (c) if selected as a Winner, to the posting of such Entrant’s name on Facebook, Twitter or any other social media site and the use by Released Parties of such name, voice, image, and/or likeness for publicity, promotional, and advertising purposes in any and all media now or hereafter known, throughout the world in perpetuity, without additional compensation, notification, permission, or approval, and, upon request, to the giving of consent, in writing, to such use; and (d) to be bound by these Official Rules and to waive any right to claim any ambiguity or error therein or in the Promotion itself, and to be bound by all decisions of the Sponsor, which are binding and final.
