  • The sponsors and sponsors’ partners will determine the final number and actual prizes. The prizes shown may vary from those advertised. Sponsors will have sole discretion over prizes, if a prize is no longer available and a substitute will be decided and provided by the sponsor. The prizes must be accepted as awarded. No cash alternatives, substitution or transfers of the prizes will be allowed.
  • Winners will be selected randomly, starting with the first prize and continuing until all prizes have been allocated.
  • Winners will be notified via the email associated with their Geo-Quest account within 2 to 5 business days of their name being drawn.
  • In order to be verified as the Winner, the selected entrant must respond to the prize notification email within five (5) days of transmission, confirming that he/she:
    1. has read, understands and complies with the Official Rules;
    2. releases and discharges the Sponsor;
    3. consents to the announcement of the Winner’s name (username or full name) on the Campaign website, without any further compensation to the Winner; and
    4. will complete a questionnaire about the Campaign as a condition for receipt of the prize. This also provides the Tree-Quest team with helpful feedback on the Campaign.
  • Winners will be announced and published on the Campaign website once confirmation has been received from the winner within five (5) days. If notification is not received within this time period, a redraw will occur.
  • Should the Winner fail to comply with any of the requirements contained in these Official Rules, the Prize will be automatically forfeited, the Winner will be redrawn and the initial Winner will be disqualified with no recourse towards the Sponsor or anyone involved in the Campaign.
  • The Sponsors will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for, or liable to any entrant or any other person for:
    1. any erroneous lost, damaged, late, incomplete, misdirected, deleted, defective, or altered Campaign registrations, regardless of the cause, including, but not limited to, failure of the Site;
    2. any failure for any reason whatsoever of the selected entrant to receive a prize notification;
    3. any changes in email addresses after Campaign registrations are submitted; and
    4. any computer, online, telephone, or technical malfunctions or errors that may occur, regardless of the cause.
  • If for any reason the Campaign is not capable of being conducted as intended by the Sponsorss, including due to computer viruses, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other cause that corrupts or interferes with the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Campaign, the Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, disqualify any entrant responsible for such misconduct and cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend the Campaign.
  • For the symbolic prices (the fifth price) that require shipping to the Winner, the Sponsors will ship the prizes directly, and only to a postal address within the EU. The shipment outside EU is logistically demanding and thus beyond the scope and budget of the Campaign.
  • The Sponsor will not be responsible for any tax or customs liability that arises in relation to the delivery of the prize.
  • Decisions of the Sponsors are final and binding.
  • By entering the Campaign, participants consent to the Sponsor’s collection, use, and disclosure of the personal information provided in the Campaign registration for the administration of the Campaign, including posting of the Winner’s name on the Campaign website. Entrants may write to the Sponsor and request that their information be removed from the Sponsor’s records.
