After sending your text message entry,
you may receive one (1) text message in response to your text entry confirming
your entry and legal disclaimers from Kellogg Company (“Sponsor”). You may opt-out of
receiving the promotional text messages from Sponsor at any time by sending a
reply text message with the word “STOP”.
The text messaging method of entry is designed to work with
most of the U.S. major wireless carriers in the United States, but Sponsor
makes no guarantee that any particular wireless service provider will
participate, and the mobile phone that is used must be capable of sending and
receiving text messages. Check with your
carrier for details. Entrants should
check their phone’s features to see if they have that capability. Wireless service providers may charge
entrants for each text message, including any error message that is sent and
received in connection with the Sweepstakes, based on the applicable wireless
service pricing plan. Message and data rates apply. Entrants should consult their wireless
service provider’s pricing plan for details.
Entry by sending a text message will not improve your chance of winning.
By
texting an entry, the entrant grants permission to the Sponsor to notify them
via a return text message and must agree to accept all applicable charges
associated therewith. You are
responsible for all applicable fees and taxes associated with placing a text
entry. Sponsor in its sole discretion
may add or delete a cellular carrier at any time, without notice. Proof of text messaging the Short Code is not
considered proof of delivery to or receipt by Sponsor of such Sweepstakes entry.
Text entries must be completed by 6/30/17
at 11:59:59 PM (ET).
b) MAIL-IN ENTRY: You may also enter during
the Promotion Period by hand-writing, on a plain 3”x 5” piece of paper, your
name, address, age, daytime/evening phone numbers and name of your
Participating Retailer. You must include the name of your
Participating Retailer with your entry or your entry will be considered void. Mail your entry in an envelope with
sufficient postage affixed to: Kellogg’s™ / Despicable Me 3 Text-to-Win
Sweepstakes, Attn: Entry,
No automated entry devices, bots and/or other programs
and/or software are permitted for entry.
No mechanically reproduced, altered, forged, or facsimile entries will
be accepted. All entries become the sole
property of Sponsor and will not be returned.
Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, incomplete,
invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries,
which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind, whether mechanical,
human or electronic. Promotion Entities
shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether
caused by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in
the Sweepstakes or by any technical or human error which may occur in the
processing of the entries in the Sweepstakes.
Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error,
omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access
to, or alteration of entries. Only fully
completed entries are eligible.
If due to programming, production or
other errors, more prizes are awarded and/or claimed than intended, the
intended number of Sweepstakes prizes will be awarded in a random drawing from
all those submitting purportedly valid claims.
No more than the number of prizes set forth in these Official Rules will
be awarded. Use of any automated system
to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. All potential winning entries are subject to
verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding. A participant is not a winner of any prize,
even if the website and/or a confirmation text message/email should so
indicate, unless and until said participant’s eligibility has been verified and
said participant has been notified that verification is complete. Sponsor will not accept Screen Shots or other
evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process. Any entry that occurs after the system has
failed for any reason is deemed a defective entry and is void and will not be
honored.
Limit one (1) entry per person per Day, regardless of method
of entry. All entries in excess of this
limit will be deemed void. For
purposes of this Sweepstakes, a “Day” is defined at a 24-hour period beginning
at 12:00:00 AM (ET) and ending at 11:59:59 PM (ET). Sponsor is not responsible for any change of
mailing address and/or telephone number of participants. In the event of a dispute over the identity
of a text entrant in the Sweepstakes, entry will be deemed completed by the
authorized account holder of the mobile telephone number provided at the time
of participation. “Authorized account
holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to a mobile telephone
number by an Internet access provided, online service provider, wireless
carrier, or other organization (e.g. business, educational institution, etc.)
that is responsible for assigning the mobile telephone number. The potential winner may be required to
provide Sponsor with proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the
mobile telephone account associated with the winning entry. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction,
the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.
Please allow up to eight (8) weeks from time of prize claim until
confirmation of prize winner.
4. RANDOM DRAWING: One thousand one
hundred twenty (1,125) winners (see rule #3a for prize distribution) will be
selected in a random drawing to be conducted on or about 7/10/17 among all
eligible entries received from all methods combined for each Participating
Retailer by Sponsor or its designee. The
decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding.
5. WINNER NOTIFICATION: Potential prize
winners will be notified by email, phone and/or mail, using contact information
provided or collected at the time of entry.
Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is
lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential
winner does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification
attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or
undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his
or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt
to contact up to two (2) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the
above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it
remains unclaimed. If any potential
prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with
these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such prize
will be forfeited and an alternate prize winner may be selected.
6. PRIZES/APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUES
(ARV)/ODDS: One Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five (1,125) Grand Prizes (see
rule #3a for prize distribution) – Each winner will receive a 4-pack of Movie
Tickets (ARV $12 ea. ticket/total ARV $48 ea. winner). Total ARV of all prizes is $54,000. Odds of winning depend on total number of
eligible entries received from all methods combined for each Participating
Retailer. Unclaimed prizes will not be
awarded. All applicable federal, state,
and local taxes on prize(s) awarded to the winner are the sole responsibility
of the prize winner. Limit one (1) prize
per person for the Promotion Period, regardless of the number of entries
submitted for Participating Retailers.
Only the number of prizes stated in these Official Rules is available to
be won in the Sweepstakes. If, by reason
of a print or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number set forth in
these Official Rules, an alternate winner will be selected in accordance with
the winner selection method described above from among all eligible claimants
making purportedly valid claims to award the advertised number of prizes
available.
7.
GENERAL: Potential prize winners (if a minor, his/her parent
or legal guardian) will be required to sign and return a notarized Affidavit of
Eligibility/Liability Release and, where permitted by law, Publicity Release
within fourteen (14) days after first notification attempt. If prize notification or prize is returned as
non-deliverable, prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected
in accordance with these Official Rules.
No correspondence will be acknowledged. No cash equivalents, substitutions or transfer
of prize permitted except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize
of equal or greater value. By entering Sweepstakes, entrants agree to release and hold harmless, Kellogg
Company, Participating Retailers and their respective related companies,
parents, subsidiaries, limited liability companies, affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, assigns and their respective agents and agencies
(“Released Parties”) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out
of participation or attempt to participate in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use
of any prize. Entrants and winners (i.e.
entrants that accept a prize) release and agree to indemnify and hold the
Released Parties harmless against any and all claims and liability out of
acceptance, possession, use or misuses of prize, or participation in this Sweepstakes.
Released Parties will have no liability whatsoever for any injuries, losses or damages of
any kind resulting from acceptance, possession, use and/or misuse of any prize
or participation in the Sweepstakes or any prize-related activities. Acceptance of a prize shall be construed as
and signify the winner's agreement and consent that Sponsor and the applicable
Participating Retailer may use the winner's name, voice, likeness and/or prize
information, without limitation, for promotional purposes without further
consideration, review, approval or payment, unless prohibited by law. By participating in this Sweepstakes,
entrants agree to be bound by the Official Rules and the decisions of the
Sponsor, which are final and binding in all respects. Sponsor
is not responsible for any typographical or other error in the printing of the
offer or in administration of the Sweepstakes. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these
Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS ARE
SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN
ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THIS SWEEPSTAKES.
AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY
