Sweepstakes Rules/Disclaimer

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN PRIZE. A PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

Jennifer Jean, My Favorite Things, @Differjean, and its contributors are used interchangeably as “differjeansfavoritethings” in the following rules.

1. Eligibility. Giveaways or sweepstakes are open to legal residents in the United States (U.S. shipping addresses only), unless otherwise stated.  Must be 18 yrs or older to enter.  Giveaways are VOID outside of the Eligibility Area and where otherwise taxed, prohibited or restricted.

2. How to Enter. Entry is typically made by leaving a comment on the giveaway post by using Rafflecopter. A correct email must be included with the entry. A limit of one entry is allowed per IP address. Subsequent entries determined to be submitted with the same email address or from the same individual using multiple email addresses may be declared ineligible. You may, however, obtain additional entries on a particular giveaway through other channels when applicable and prompted (i.e., by performing an action such as mentioning on Twitter, or blogging about the giveaway).

3. Disclaimer. My Favorite Things will not be responsible for: (a) any late or lost entries; (b) telephone, electronic, hardware, software, network, Internet, or other computer or communications-related malfunctions or failures; any giveaway disruptions, injuries, losses or damages caused by events beyond the control of My Favorite Things or by unauthorized human intervention; or (c) any printing or typographical errors in any materials associated with the giveaway.

4. Entry Deadline Date. All entries for giveaways through this site must be received on or before the given “Entry Deadline Date” to be eligible to win a prize.

6. Winner Selection. A prize number will be assigned to your entry upon receipt of your entry. A winning number will be generated using “And the Winner is…” run by random.org on Rafflecopter on or shortly after the Entry Deadline Date. If your Entry Number matches the Winning Number, and you meet the eligibility requirements and otherwise comply with these Official Giveaway Rules, you win the prize.

7. Winner Notification. You will be notified by the email address submitted within three (3) days after the Entry Deadline Date if you win the prize.

8. Claiming Your Prize. Winner must respond within three (3) days of notification or forfeit the prize, in which case an alternate winner will be selected.

9. Taxes. ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OF ANY PRIZE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER.

10. Prize Substitution. Winner may not substitute the prize for any other prize or for cash, however, My Favorite Things or the sponsoring company may substitute the prize for any other prize of equal or greater value, in its reasonable discretion, in the event the prize is not available for any reason outside of sponsor’s reasonable control.

11. Publicity. Acceptance of prize constitutes permission to use winner’s name and prize information for promotional purposes in any medium, except where prohibited by law, without further payment or other consideration.

12. Errors and Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the ownership of any entry, the person whose name appears on the entry form associated with the prize number for the winning entry will be deemed to be the winner. It is your responsibility to control access to your email account. In the unlikely event that the winning prize number is duplicated, or a similar error occurs, My Favorite Things may conduct a random drawing among such inadvertently duplicated numbers or apply another equitable remedy in its discretion to determine the winner. Decisions made by My Favorite Things are final. By entering the giveaway, you agree to be bound by the decisions of My Favorite Things and these official rules. You and your entries may be disqualified if you attempt to circumvent these official rules.

13. Technical Problems. The giveaway may be canceled, suspended and/or modified, in whole or in part, if in the opinion of My Favorite Things any fraud, technical failure or other factor beyond its control impairs the integrity of the giveaway.

14. General Release. By entering any giveaway through this website, you release My Favorite Things from any liability whatsoever, and waive any and all causes of action, related to any claims, costs, injuries, losses or damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with the giveaway or delivery, misdelivery or acceptance of any prize (including, without limitation, claims, costs, injuries, losses and damages related to personal injuries, death, damage to or destruction of property, rights of publicity or privacy, defamation or portrayal in a false light, whether intentional or unintentional), whether under a theory of contract, tort (including negligence), warranty or other theory.

15. ODDS: The estimated odds of winning will depend upon the total number of eligible entries received for each giveaway.
