By entering the Sweepstakes you grant to Sponsor the worldwide, irrevocable and unrestricted right and license to adapt, publish, use, edit, and/or modify your entry in any way and to post your response on the internet.

Each person who enters this Sweepstakes represents and warrants as follows: (i) the entry content is wholly original to entrant; (ii) the entry does not and will not violate or infringe upon the intellectual property rights or other rights of any other person or entity; and (iii) the entry does not and will not violate any applicable laws, and is not and will not be considered defamatory or libelous.

On October 18, 2021, the Sponsor will select four (4) potential winners in a random drawing through random.org, of all valid entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The order of the potential winners will be determined by the order in which they are randomly selected. The potential Sweepstakes winners will be contacted privately via the contact email address on their Constant Contact account or the email address provided on the alternative form of entry card, as applicable. A judging panel composed of the Sponsor’s employees will confirm that all entrants have completed the necessary tasks for a valid entry when they responded to the official Small Business Success Sweepstakes article in the Constant Contact Community. Once the judging panel has confirmed the number of entries per entrant, the total confirmed entries for each entrant will be entered into a random drawing and chosen via random.org, and may be awarded the prize subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules. There is a limit of one (1) prize per entrant. The potential Sweepstakes winners will be notified on the day of the drawing. Failure by a potential Sweepstakes winner to respond to the initial verification within five (5) days of notification or the time period stated in the notification, will result in disqualification and Sponsor will select an alternate potential Sweepstakes winner in the same manner. Odds of winning a Sweepstakes prize depend on the number of eligible entries received.

Potential Sweepstakes winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules and will be required to complete and return (i) an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and Publicity Release (where permitted by law) (collectively, the “Affidavit”) and (ii) an IRS Form W-9 (“W-9”) if the retail value is $600 or greater by the date specified by the Sponsor, or an alternate potential Sweepstakes winner may be selected. In the event: (a) potential Sweepstakes winner cannot be reached for whatever reason after a reasonable effort has been exerted or the potential Sweepstakes winner notification of Affidavit is returned as undeliverable; (b) potential Sweepstakes winner declines or cannot accept, receive or use the prize for any reason; (c) of noncompliance with timing requirements to respond to the initial verification in the required time period, (d) potential Sweepstakes winner is found to be ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes or receive the prize, (e) potential Sweepstakes winner cannot or does not comply with the Official Rules, or (f) potential Sweepstakes winner fails to fulfill the Affidavit-related obligations, the potential Sweepstakes winner shall be disqualified from the Sweepstakes and an alternate potential Sweepstakes winner may be selected, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, from among the other eligible entries received. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification and Affidavit procedures in connection with the selection of alternate potential Sweepstakes winner if any.

No cash equivalent will be provided for any prize. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Winners agree to accept the Prize “as is”, and entrants hereby acknowledge that Sponsor has 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 the Prize, including express warranties (if any) provided exclusively by a prize supplier that are sent along with the Prize. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the listed prize for one of equal or greater value for any reason. Winners are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with Prize receipt and/or use. All federal, state, and local tax liabilities, as well as any other costs and expenses not specified herein as being awarded, are the sole responsibility of the Winners. The Prize will be awarded only if the potential Prize winner fully complies with these Official Rules. Potential winners are responsible for providing Sponsor with a current address for the mailing of any applicable Prizes. Sponsor is not responsible for any lost or undeliverable mail that results from a third party or mail or parcel carrier and Prizes may not be reissued in such instance.
