whichever is older, at
the time of entry. Employees of Sponsor, Administrator,
Verint, Inc.,
and any of their respective owners, parent companies,
affiliates, directors,
subsidiaries, franchisees, representatives, advertising,
Contest and production
agencies, agents (collectively “Contest Entities”) and their
immediate family
members (i.e., spouse, parent, child, sibling, and the “steps”
of each) and
persons living in the same household of each are not eligible
to participate in
the Contest. Void outside of Canada and where prohibited or
restricted by law. 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 Contest. Winning a prize
is contingent
upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. The Contest
is subject to
all applicable federal, provincial, territorial, and local
laws and
regulations.
3.
HOW TO ENTER: There
are two (2) ways to enter the Contest:
A. Entry Method 1.
Upon completing a purchase at a participating Indigo Books
& Music Inc.
(“Indigo”) retail store, the customer will receive an
invitation to participate
in a survey (the “Survey). This invitation will be printed on
the Indigo
receipt. During the Contest Period, the customer must log on
to the URL printed
on the receipt and complete the Survey within seven (7)
calendar days from the
date of purchase. After completing the Survey the customer
will be asked if
he/she wishes to participate in the Contest. If the customer
meets the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 2, he/she must
then enter the
requested required information including, but not limited to:
his/her complete
first and last name, valid e-mail address, complete street
mailing address (no
PO Boxes allowed), City, Province/Territory, Postal Code,
telephone number and
birthday. After submitting this information, the entrant will
receive one (1)
entry into the applicable Contest Draw Period that coincides
with the entry
date. Limit one (1) entry per receipt. Purchase must be made in-store
by August 31, 2015, but
customers have until September 7, 2015 to complete the
survey.
B.
Entry Method 2. This entry
method is for individuals who have not made a purchase,
and/or
do not wish to complete the Survey. Under this method of
entry, the
individual may visit
https://survey.foreseeresults.com/store/controller?id=7377985b&flow=SS
and
follow the same
steps as outlined above in Section 3a, including providing
the
registration information requested.
C. 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
Contest, not the
date of the receipt. Regardless
of method of entry, an entrant may only receive one (1) entry
per calendar day
during the Contest Period. A “calendar day” is defined as
starting at 12:00:00
A.M. Eastern Time and ending at 11:59:59 P.M. Eastern Time of
that day. Any
attempted form of participation in this Sweepstakes other than
as described
herein is void. If it is discovered or suspected, in Sponsor’s
sole discretion,
that an entrant has registered or attempted to register more
than once using
multiple e-mail address or identities, all of that entrant’s
Entries will be
declared null and void and any prize he/she might have been
entitled to will
not be awarded.
4.
RANDOM DRAWING AND ODDS OF
WINNING: On
or about the Random Drawing Dates
described in Section 1, Administrator will randomly select one
(1) potential Winner
from among all eligible entries received during the applicable
Contest Draw
Period. The odds of
being selected as a potential
Winner depend upon the number of eligible entries received
during each Contest
Draw Period, as entries will not carry forward to a subsequent
Contest Draw
Period. Limit one (1) Prize per person during the Contest
Period.
5.
PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL
VALUE (“ARV”):
A.
Prizes (12). One (1) Winner
from each Contest Draw Period will receive a CDN$500 Indigo

forth on the gift
card. Each gift card is redeemable for merchandise only and

redeemed or exchanged for cash, except where required by law.

destroyed or
used without your permission and will be voided if altered or
defaced.

6.
HOW TO CLAIM A PRIZE: Potential
Winners will be notified by e-mail
using the contact information provided at the time of entry on
or about the
Winner Notification Date described in Section 1. Potential
Winners will be
required to answer a mathematical skill testing question
without the assistance
of any person or device. If a selected potential Winner fails
to correctly
answer the question, he/she will be disqualified and another
Entrant may be
randomly chosen as a potential Winner. If a potential Winner
is ineligible for any reason, does not respond to the Prize
Notification within
ten (10) days, refuses the Prize, or if Prize Notification or
the Prize are
returned to Sponsor as undeliverable, then the potential
Winner will be
disqualified and an alternate Winner may be selected.
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 the Prize(s) are the sole responsibility of Winner(s).
Sponsor
will ship the Prize directly to the Winner within
approximately 6 – 8 weeks from
Winner verification.
In no event will more Prizes be awarded than are
stated in these
Official Rules. In the event that, due to technical,
typographical, mechanical
or other errors, there are more Winners than are stated in these
Official
Rules, a random drawing among the claimants will be held to
determine the Winners.
