The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any entrant who is acting in violation of these Official Rules, or to be acting in a disruptive manner, or with the intent to disrupt or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes, or to threaten or harass any other person, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the entrant who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to the Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible. The Sponsor shall not be responsible for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Sweepstakes. The Sponsor assumes no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, loss, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries.

PRIZE: The Grand Prize shall consist of one (1) Happiest Baby SNOO Smart Sleeper (retail value $1395 USD) and one $250 Motherly shop credit (retail value $250 USD). Actual/appraised value may differ at time of prize award. The specifics of the prize shall be solely determined by the Sponsor. No cash or other prize substitution shall be permitted except at the Sponsor’s discretion. The prize is nontransferable. Any and all prize-related expenses, including without limitation any and all federal, state, and/or local taxes, shall be the sole responsibility of winner (the “Winner”). Acceptance of prize constitutes permission for the Sponsor to use Winner’s name, likeness, and entry for purposes of advertising and trade without further compensation, unless prohibited by law. Sponsor expects many entrants to enter the Sweepstakes, but only one (1) entrant will win the Grand Prize. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries. The Grand Prize will be sent to the Winner upon receipt of all required Prize Claim Documents (defined below). Execution and submission of the Prize Claim Documents to the Sponsor is a condition precedent to being named a winner of the Grand Prize.
WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: After the Promotion Period, by July 24, 2020, one (1) potential Grand Prize winner will be randomly selected in a drawing from all eligible entries received throughout the Promotion Period. The drawing will be conducted by Sponsor or its designee, using randomization methods selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Potential Winners will be contacted either by email. The Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential Grand Prize winner for any reason. If a potential Grand Prize winner does not respond within forty-eight (48) hours of the first notification attempt, or if a prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential Grand Prize winner, the potential Grand Prize winner will automatically forfeit the prize and an alternate potential Grand Prize winner may be randomly selected. If any potential Grand Prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if such potential Grand Prize winner has not complied with these Official Rules (including executing and timely submitting the “Prize Claim Documents” as defined below) or declines the applicable Grand Prize for any reason prior to receipt, such potential Grand Prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate Grand Prize winner may be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries received for the applicable Sweepstakes. The Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to two (2) potential Grand Prize winners in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed Grand Prize winner after such attempts have been made, if any, the applicable Grand Prize for the Sweepstakes may go unawarded at Sponsor’s discretion. Sponsor will announce the Grand Prize winner on Sponsor’s Instagram account. Prizes will be distributed once the Sponsor has received the completed Prize Claim Documents. ANY VIOLATION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES BY A WINNER (at the Sponsor’s sole discretion) WILL RESULT IN THAT WINNER’S DISQUALIFICATION AS THE WINNER OF THE SWEEPSTAKES, AND ALL PRIVILEGES AS THE WINNER WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED.
