Giveaway Official Rules
BEACHWAVER GIVEAWAY OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.
PLEASE READ SECTION 15 CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
1. Binding Agreement. These Official Rules (the "Master Rules") apply to every sweepstakes, giveaway, or prize drawing (each, a "Giveaway") offered by The Beachwaver Co. that links to or references these Master Rules. Each Giveaway also has its own "Giveaway Details" (posted in the promotional post, on a landing page, or both) stating its entry period, prize, approximate retail value, method of entry, and any additional terms. The Giveaway Details and these Master Rules together are the "Official Rules." If they conflict, the Giveaway Details control for that Giveaway only. By entering, you agree to be bound by the Official Rules and by Sponsor's decisions, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Giveaway.
2. Sponsor. The Beachwaver Co., 872 S. Milwaukee Ave., #106, Libertyville, IL 60048 ("Sponsor" or "Beachwaver"). Any co-sponsor or prize provider will be named in the Giveaway Details.
3. Eligibility. Each Giveaway is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are thirteen (13) years of age or older at the time of entry, unless the Giveaway Details set a higher minimum age. Entrants under eighteen (18) years of age (or under the age of majority in their state of residence) ("Minor Entrants") must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian before entering. Void outside the United States and where prohibited or restricted by law. Employees, officers, directors, contractors, agents, and representatives of Sponsor, any co-sponsor or prize provider, their parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies, and the members of their immediate families (spouse, parents, siblings, children, and each of their spouses, regardless of where they live) and households (whether or not related) are not eligible. Influencers or creators with an active paid or gifted relationship with Sponsor during the Entry Period are not eligible unless the Giveaway Details say otherwise. Sponsor may verify eligibility at any time and may require proof of age, identity, residency, and parent or guardian permission.
Minor Entrants. By entering, a Minor Entrant represents that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to the Official Rules on the Minor Entrant's behalf. If a potential winner is a Minor Entrant, the prize will be awarded in the name of, and shipped to, the Minor Entrant's parent or legal guardian, who must sign the Parent/Guardian Affidavit, Release and Publicity Consent on their own behalf and on behalf of the Minor Entrant. If the parent or guardian does not consent, or does not return the required documents on time, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor does not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen (13); any entry Sponsor learns was submitted by a child under thirteen (13) will be disqualified and the child's information deleted.
4. Entry Period. Each Giveaway begins and ends on the dates and times stated in its Giveaway Details (the "Entry Period"). All times are Central Time (CT) unless stated otherwise. Sponsor's computer is the official timekeeping device. Entries received before or after the Entry Period will be disqualified.
5. How to Enter. Enter by following the method of entry stated in the Giveaway Details (for example, commenting on a designated Instagram or TikTok post, entering during a TikTok LIVE, or completing an online entry form). Unless the Giveaway Details say otherwise:
- Limit: one (1) entry per person per Giveaway, regardless of method or number of accounts or email addresses used. Entries beyond the limit will be void.
- Free Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE): For every Giveaway, you may also enter without using social media and without any purchase by emailing customerservice@beachwaver.com during the Entry Period with the subject line "[Giveaway Name] Entry" and your full name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and date of birth. An AMOE entry has the same chance of winning as any other entry and counts toward the entry limit.
- Social media accounts: Your account must be public (or otherwise viewable by Sponsor) at the time of entry and selection, and must be in good standing. Entries from accounts that are private, newly created to enter, or that appear fake, automated, or duplicative may be disqualified.
- Prohibited methods: Entries generated by script, macro, bot, purchased engagement, multiple or fake accounts, or any automated or fraudulent means are void.
- Account holder: If there is a dispute about who submitted an entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the social media account or email address used. Sponsor may require the potential winner to prove they are the authorized account holder.
6. Content Submissions (if applicable). If a Giveaway asks you to submit a comment, photo, video, or other content ("Submission"), your Submission must be your own original work; must not contain anyone else's name, likeness, music, trademark, or copyrighted material without permission; must not be obscene, defamatory, hateful, unlawful, or disparaging of Sponsor; must not depict any minor other than the entrant; and must comply with the applicable platform's terms. By submitting, you grant Sponsor and its designees a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, edit, display, and distribute your Submission in any media now known or later developed, without further notice, approval, or compensation, except where prohibited by law. Sponsor may remove or disqualify any Submission at its sole discretion and has no obligation to use any Submission.
7. Winner Selection and Odds. Unless the Giveaway Details state otherwise, winner(s) will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received, conducted by Sponsor or its designee on or about the date stated in the Giveaway Details. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. If a Giveaway involves judging, the judging criteria will be stated in the Giveaway Details and judges' decisions are final.
8. Winner Notification and Verification. Potential winners will be notified by direct message on the platform used to enter, or by email for AMOE entries, on or about the date in the Giveaway Details. Sponsor will never ask a winner to pay any fee, provide a credit card or bank account number, or click an outside link to claim a prize. A potential winner must respond within forty-eight (48) hours of notification (or the period stated in the Giveaway Details) and provide the information Sponsor requests. A potential winner may be required to sign and return, within five (5) days, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and (where lawful) Publicity Release, and an IRS Form W-9 if the prize value is $600 or more. A potential winner will be disqualified, and an alternate winner may be selected from the remaining eligible entries, if: (a) they do not respond or return documents on time; (b) a notification is returned as undeliverable; (c) they are found ineligible or not in compliance with the Official Rules; or (d) they decline the prize. Sponsor may select up to two (2) alternate winners, after which the prize may go unawarded. If a potential winner is a Minor Entrant, Sponsor will also require contact with, and all documents to be signed by, the Minor Entrant's parent or legal guardian. Being contacted does not make you a winner until all verification is complete.
9. Prizes. The prize(s), quantity, and approximate retail value ("ARV") are stated in the Giveaway Details. ARV is Sponsor's good-faith determination at the start of the Giveaway; the winner is not entitled to any difference between the ARV and actual value. Prizes are awarded "as is" and are not transferable, assignable, or redeemable for cash. No substitution by the winner. Sponsor may substitute a prize (or any part of it) of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable for any reason. Product prizes carry only the manufacturer's standard warranty, if any, and SPONSOR MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Prizes will be shipped only to a street address in the United States (no P.O. boxes) within approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks after verification, or within any shorter period required by the applicable platform. Sponsor is not responsible for prizes lost, stolen, delayed, or damaged in shipping, or for prizes not received because of an incorrect address provided by the winner. Limit one (1) prize per person and per household per Giveaway, and no more than one (1) Beachwaver Giveaway prize per person in any thirty (30) day period unless the Giveaway Details say otherwise.
10. Taxes and Expenses. All federal, state, and local taxes and all costs not expressly stated as part of the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 to any winner whose total prizes from Sponsor equal $600 or more in a calendar year. Failure to provide a valid W-9 when required will result in forfeiture of the prize.
11. Publicity. Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes the winner's consent for Sponsor and its designees to use the winner's name, social media handle, city and state of residence, photograph, likeness, voice, statements, and Submission for advertising, promotional, and trade purposes in any media now known or later developed, worldwide and in perpetuity, without further compensation, notice, or approval. Sponsor may announce the winner's handle publicly on the platform used to enter. For a Minor Entrant winner, Sponsor will use only the winner's first name or social media handle and state, and will not use the Minor Entrant's photograph, likeness, or voice without the separate written consent of the parent or legal guardian.
12. Release and Limitation of Liability. By entering, each entrant (and, for a Minor Entrant, the Minor Entrant's parent or legal guardian) agrees to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sponsor, any co-sponsor or prize provider, Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., TikTok, ByteDance, and each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (the "Released Parties") from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, or costs of any kind (including attorneys' fees), arising out of or relating to: (a) participation in the Giveaway or any Giveaway-related activity; (b) the acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize; (c) any Submission; or (d) any use of the entrant's name, likeness, or Submission as permitted by the Official Rules. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (i) lost, late, incomplete, garbled, misdirected, or unreadable entries, messages, or notifications; (ii) technical, network, platform, hardware, software, or connection failures or errors, including any platform's algorithm, filtering, outage, or removal of comments or posts; (iii) unauthorized human intervention or tampering; (iv) printing, typographical, or human errors in any Giveaway materials or in the administration of the Giveaway; or (v) any injury or damage to any person's computer or device related to participation. If, because of an error, more prizes are claimed than are advertised, Sponsor may award the advertised prizes by random drawing among all eligible claimants. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE RELEASED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED TO ENTER (AND IN NO EVENT ATTORNEYS' FEES). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
13. Platform Release. Each Giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., Facebook, TikTok, ByteDance, or any other social media platform. Each entrant fully releases those platforms from any and all liability in connection with the Giveaway. Questions, comments, or complaints about a Giveaway must be directed to Sponsor, not to any platform. Entrants must comply with the terms of service of the platform used to enter.
14. Sponsor's Rights: Disqualification, Modification, Cancellation. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion: (a) disqualify any person, entry, or Submission that Sponsor believes is tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Giveaway, violating the Official Rules or any platform's terms, acting in an unsportsmanlike, harassing, abusive, or disruptive manner, or acting with intent to annoy, threaten, or harass any other person; (b) cancel, suspend, terminate, or modify the Giveaway, or any part of it, if fraud, technical failure, platform action (including removal of the Giveaway post or account restrictions), human error, a change in law, or any other factor beyond Sponsor's reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Giveaway, as determined by Sponsor; and (c) in the event of cancellation, award the prize(s) by random drawing from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received up to the time of cancellation. Sponsor may correct typographical or other errors in Giveaway materials. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE GIVEAWAY MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS, AND SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of the Official Rules is not a waiver of that term.
15. Disputes; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. These Official Rules are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Except where prohibited, each entrant (and, for a Minor Entrant, the Minor Entrant's parent or legal guardian) agrees that: (a) any dispute, claim, or cause of action arising out of or connected with the Giveaway, any prize, or the Official Rules will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class, collective, or representative action, exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, with the hearing (if any) held in Lake County, Illinois, or by video conference; (b) the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent needed to resolve the individual claim; (c) entrants waive any right to a jury trial; and (d) any claim not subject to arbitration, and any action to compel arbitration or enforce an award, will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois, and each entrant consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, this arbitration agreement will be void as to that claim. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.
16. Privacy; No Marketing Consent by Entry. Information collected from entrants is used to administer the Giveaway, verify eligibility, and deliver prizes, and is otherwise subject to Sponsor's Privacy Policy. Entering a Giveaway does not subscribe you to Beachwaver's email or text message (SMS) marketing, and Beachwaver will not send marketing texts or make marketing calls to you based on your entry. If a Giveaway offers an optional sign-up for email or text marketing, that sign-up will be separate, clearly disclosed, not required to enter, and subject to its own terms. Sponsor may share a winner's information with a co-sponsor or prize provider for prize fulfillment and as required by law.
17. Severability. If any provision of the Official Rules is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Headings are for convenience only.
18. Winners List. For the name or handle of a Giveaway's winner(s), email customerservice@beachwaver.com with the subject line "Winners List – [Giveaway Name]" within sixty (60) days after the end of the Entry Period, or send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Sponsor address above, marked "Winners List – [Giveaway Name]."
