7. Contests, Sweepstakes, and Giveaways.
Whimsy by Alaina periodically runs contests, sweepstakes, and giveaways (collectively “Promotions”), which may be based on a combination of skill and chance. We advertise our Promotions on a variety of our regular online platforms, and you can find out about them on our Site or through our digital media channels.
Official Rules. Your participation in any Whimsy by Alaina’s Promotions are subject to and governed by the official rules set forth below (“Official Rules”) and any guidelines further specified on social media (“Additional Terms”) for the specific Promotion. In a conflict between the Official Rules and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will govern. Where Whimsy by Alaina features a Promotion belonging to a Third Party, you should refer to the Third Party’s website for the governing terms and rules. We accept no responsibility for Third Party Promotions.
Social Media Platforms. Whimsy by Alaina strives to follow the guidelines required by the social media platforms on which we are advertising Promotions. Our Promotions are not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with these social media channels. Information that entrants may submit through these social media platforms will be used for administering the Promotion and/or for marketing purposes per this Terms and our Privacy Policy.
No Purchase Necessary. No purchase is necessary for some of our Promotions, such as sweepstakes. Other Promotions may require a purchase for entry. Please refer to the Additional Terms provided for specific Promotions.
Eligibility. Unless otherwise provided in the Additional Terms, Whimsy by Alaina’s Promotions are open to those who are age 18 or over residing in the United States and Canada. Whimsy by Alaina’s employees and contractors, and members of their immediate families, are not eligible to participate or win. Sweepstakes are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations, and may be void where prohibited.
Time Period. Promotions begin and end on the time and date outlined in the specific Promotion, according to our internal time clock, which is set to Pacific Standard Time.
One Entry Per Person. You may enter as many Promotions as you are otherwise qualified to enter. Unless otherwise provided in the specific Contest or Additional Terms, entrants may only enter each of these Promotions one time. Multiple entries in the same Promotion will not increase your chances of winning. If you enter more than once in the same Promotion, only your last eligible entry will be valid.
Taxes. Promotion Winners are responsible for any personal taxes resulting from your winnings. If your winnings exceed $600 in a calendar year, then the winnings may be a taxable event by the IRS. If this occurs, Whimsy by Alaina may be legally required to issue you a tax form 1099, and you may be required to provide us with your social security number to complete the tax form.
How to Enter. You need to follow all the rules in the Promotion, and Additional Terms (if any), to enter the Promotion. This includes the appropriate use of hashtags, where specified. If you are asked to enter the Promotion through a social media channel, then you must have an account on that social media channel. All social media channels that we use for our Promotions are free to join. Whimsy by Alaina makes commercially reasonable efforts to make sure Promotions follow the social media platforms’ guidelines for such Promotions.
Selection of Winners. The chances of winning a Promotion depends on the number of eligible entries received and the quality of those entries. For contests, a panel of judges will be selected by Whimsy by Alaina to evaluate the entrants’ submissions and to score them based on the Contest criteria. These deliberations are private and shall not be made public. For sweepstakes, Whimsy by Alaina will select one (1) winner in a random drawing from all eligible entries received at the conclusion of the Promotion’s Time Period. Our decisions are final and binding on all matters related to the sweepstakes, and we reserve the right to delay the random drawing for any reason.
If the identity of any entrant is at issue, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person who is the authorized account owner of (i) the e-mail address associated with the entry, or, (ii) where the entry is submitted via social media, the e-mail address associated with the social media account used for the submission.
ONCE A POTENTIAL WINNER IS IDENTIFIED AT THE CLOSE OF THE PROMOTION’S TIME PERIOD, THE POTENTIAL WINNER MAY BE SUBJECT TO FURTHER VERIFICATION. POTENTIAL WINNERS MUST MEET ALL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS BEFORE THE ENTRANT WILL BE CONFIRMED AS THE WINNER AND RECEIVE THE AWARD.
Notification. Whimsy by Alaina shall notify winners via the e-mail address or via direct message to the social media account used to submit the entry for the Promotion. If, despite our reasonable efforts, the winner does not respond within five (5) business days of the first notification attempt, or if the notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable, the winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. Winners must comply with all instructions in the notification within five (5) days of the date of the notification. Failure to do so may result in the winner forfeiting the prize and an alternate winner being selected.
Winner’s Responsibilities. Winners may be required to complete, sign, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and Indemnification, a Model Release where allowed by law, and other documents as may be required by Whimsy by Alaina within five (5) business days of notification. Failure to properly complete, sign, and/or return the documents in a timely manner may result in the prize being forfeited and another winner being selected.
