AGREEMENT TO OFFICIAL RULES

Participation in this Drawing constitutes your full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters related to this Drawing. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein in a timely manner.

ENTRY PERIOD

The Drawing begins on August 28th, 2024, at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Savings Time and ends on September 11th, 2024, at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Savings Time (the “Entry Period”).

SURVEY ENTRY

To enter, provide all requested information and complete the Survey, available at the hyperlink emailed to you or via NCM’s social media accounts, during the Entry Period. You agree not to disclose to anyone the content of the Survey or any specific information that may have been provided to you during the course of taking the Survey.

ALL ENTRIES

There is a limit of one (1) entry per person and per email address. If you enter or attempt entry more than the stated number of times or by any means except as permitted in these Official Rules, all of your entries will be voided and you will be ineligible to participate in the Drawing. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Entries generated by script, macro, or other automated means are void. 

DRAWING; ODDS; NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNER

 On or about September 20th, 2024, Sponsor with the assistance of its survey partner, Excelerate LLC, will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing of all eligible entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of eligible entries received. Sponsor will attempt to notify the potential winner by email within seven (7) days. If a potential winner cannot be reasonably contacted, verified, or confirmed after two (2) attempts (and further attempts at Sponsor’s sole discretion), a prize is declined, or a potential winner is not eligible for award of a prize for whatever reason, an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected by Sponsor from all remaining eligible entries. Only four (4) alternate potential winners may be contacted.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE POTENTIAL WINNER

Potential winners are subject to verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to this Drawing. You are not a winner of any prize unless and until your eligibility has been verified and you have been notified that verification is complete. Except where prohibited, potential winners may be required to timely complete and return an affidavit of eligibility (including a declaration of compliance with these Official Rules), a comprehensive liability waiver and publicity release, and/or other documents requested by Sponsor. If a potential winner fails to sign and return these documents within the required time period, an alternate potential winner may be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of all remaining eligible entries. Acceptance of any prize will constitute and signify winner’s agreement and consent that Sponsor and its designees may use winner’s name, city, state, likeness, opinion, and voice for promotional, advertising, or other purposes, worldwide, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, including the internet, without limitation and without further payment, notification, permission or other consideration, except where and to the extent prohibited by law.

PRIZE

One prize of a 3-4 Person year-long membership to NCM. Approximate retail value: $250 USD. If winner is already a membership holder to NCM, the prize will be applied at the expiration of their current membership. Prize is nontransferable, non-refundable, and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit, in whole or in part. Prize is awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, express or implied. No substitution may be made except Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize or prize component for one of equal or greater value if the designated prize should be unavailable for any reason. Winner is responsible for payment of all applicable taxes and any and all other costs, fees, and expenses not listed above. Any prize details not specified above will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

 Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or modify the Drawing if any fraud or other problem corrupts the administration, security, or proper play of the Drawing, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor reserves the right to select a winner in a random drawing of the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment or Sponsor’s identification of the impairment. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Drawing or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Drawing may be a violation of criminal and civil law and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. All activity arising out of and relating to the Drawing is subject to verification and auditing for compliance with the Official Rules, and you agree to cooperate with Sponsor concerning verification and auditing. All references to an entrant’s status as a “winner” are subject to Sponsor verification and auditing. If verification activity or an audit evidences non-compliance of an entry or entrant with the Official Rules as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify the entrant and remove the entry from the Drawing at any time.

Sponsor and its parent(s), subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, and retailers, and all of their respective advertising and promotional agencies, representatives, shareholders, employees, contractors, officers, directors, and agents, as well as all social media sites (collectively, the “Released Parties”) expressly disclaim any and all warranties of any kind (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise), including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Under no circumstances will the Released Parties be held responsible or liable for your use of the information and/or products provided and/or made available through the Drawing or for errors or anomalies resulting in the unintended or erroneous participation, award of prize, or other benefits under these official rules. Released Parties offer no assurances, guarantees, or warranties that the Drawing will be uninterrupted or error-free and do not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Drawing. Released Parties will not be liable or responsible for damages of any kind related to your participation in or inability to participate in the Drawing, whether the damages are direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you in whole or in part.
