4. How to Enter

When you receive an entry into any sweepstakes offered on omaze.com during the Sweepstakes Entry Period you will automatically receive the same number entries into this Sweepstakes. You will receive entries into the Sweepstakes regardless if you entered the other sweepstakes in connection with a donation or a free alternate method of entry. Regardless of the method of entry, the maximum number of entries that you may receive is 6,000 entries in the Sweepstakes (per weekly Sweepstakes Entry Period). Automated entries or entries submitted by third parties will be disqualified. Entries must be submitted by the participant. No copies, facsimiles, or mechanical reproductions of entries will be accepted. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, email addresses, logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s entries, and that participant may be disqualified at Sponsor’s discretion. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Conditional winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to the Sponsor or forfeit the prize. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address will be disqualified and ineligible to win. Incomplete, illegible, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and will be disqualified.

 

By entering this Sweepstakes, you agree that Sponsor or its representative may contact you via email, phone, and mail in connection with this Sweepstakes.

 

Entrants may not willfully register/enter with multiple email accounts nor may entrants use any other device or artifice to register/enter under multiple identities. Use of any automated system to enter is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected entries all of which will be ineligible to win a prize. In the event of a dispute as to any entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. Potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to be awarded the prize.

 

5. Winner Determination

On or about two days after the weekly Sweepstakes Entry Period, the Sponsor will confirm one winner for each prize in a random drawing of all valid entries received. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The potential winners will be contacted using the email address provided with the entry and may be awarded the prize subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules. Failure by potential winners to respond to the initial verification within 48 hours of notification or another time as stated in the notification will result in disqualification and Sponsor will select an alternate potential winner in the same manner. Limit of one prize per person for this Sweepstakes.

 6. POTENTIAL SWEEPSTAKES WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR. SPONSOR’S DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE ADMINISTRATION, OPERATION, SELECTION OF THE WINNER AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE SWEEPSTAKES.

Potential Sweepstakes winners may be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and Publicity Release (where permitted by law) (collectively, the “Affidavit”) by the date specified by Sponsor, or an alternate potential Sweepstakes winner may be selected.

Transparency:

At Omaze, we believe fundraising should be about impact, not percentages. Our model allows us, in partnership with CAF America, a U.S. public charity registered with the Internal Revenue Service, to really make a difference and disrupt the way society traditionally thinks about charitable giving.

Omaze and CAF America work together to offer incredible prizes and experiences that anyone can potentially win. You don’t have to donate to enter, but if you do, your donation to CAF America is then used to make a charitable grant to a great cause. The Net Proceeds of all donations made in connection with this Sweepstakes are paid directly to CAF America, whose mission is to make giving to international and domestic charities safe, easy and effective for U.S. donors. CAF America evaluates and prequalifies other non-profit organizations to be eligible to receive CAF America grants. At the end of this Sweepstakes, so long as Charity continues to qualify as an eligible recipient of CAF America grants, CAF America will make a grant to the Charity of the Net Proceeds of this Sweepstakes.

If Charity is no longer eligible to receive CAF America grants at the conclusion of the Sweepstakes, CAF America will donate the Net Proceeds to a nonprofit organization sharing a mission similar to Charity’s mission that is also prequalified by CAF America (“Alternate Charity”). Eligibility determinations for CAF America grant recipients, and selection of Alternate Charity (if applicable), are within CAF America’s sole discretion.
