How to Enter
Enter the Sweepstakes during the Promotion Period online by visiting the entry form at the URL listed in the Promotion-Specific Details above and submitting a valid email address.
Email confirmation required: After submitting the entry form, Entrant will receive a confirmation email from Sponsor at the email address provided. Entrant must click the confirmation link contained in that email before the end of the Promotion Period in order for the entry to be deemed valid and eligible for the prize drawing. Entries that are not confirmed before the end of the Promotion Period will be disqualified and will not be eligible to win, including any bonus entries associated with that email address. It is the Entrant's sole responsibility to ensure the confirmation email is received and acted upon; Sponsor is not responsible for confirmation emails that are not received, are delayed, are filtered as spam, or are otherwise inaccessible to the Entrant.
Bonus entries: Entrants may earn additional entries by subscribing to the email newsletters of participating authors. For purposes of these Rules, "participating authors" means the authors identified by name on the entry form during the Promotion Period. Each newsletter subscription completed through the entry form during the Promotion Period earns one (1) additional entry, up to the maximum number of bonus entries per Entrant listed in the Promotion-Specific Details above. Subscribing to a newsletter is free; no purchase is required, and unsubscribing after entry will not affect Entrant's eligibility but may not be done before the drawing.
Limit: one (1) base entry per person and per email address, plus any bonus entries earned as described above. Automated or robotic entries submitted by individuals or organizations will be disqualified. Internet entry must be made by the Entrant. Any attempt by Entrant to obtain more entries than permitted by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations, logins, or any other methods, including but not limited to commercial contest/sweepstakes subscription or notification services, will void Entrant's entries and Entrant may be disqualified. Final eligibility for the award of any prize is subject to eligibility verification as set forth below. All entries must be received by the end of the Promotion Period in order to participate. Sponsor's database clock will be the official timekeeper for this Sweepstakes.
Winner Selection
The Winner of the Sweepstakes will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received throughout the Promotion Period. The random drawing will be conducted within approximately seven (7) days after the end of the Promotion Period by Sponsor or its designated representatives, whose decisions are final. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
Winner Notification
The Winner will be notified by email at the email address provided in the Entry Information within approximately seven (7) days after the random drawing. The potential Winner must accept the prize by email as directed by Sponsor within seventy-two (72) hours of notification. Sponsor is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification for any reason, including inactive email account(s), technical difficulties associated therewith, or Winner's failure to adequately monitor any email account.
Any winner notification not responded to within the seventy-two (72) hour window or returned as undeliverable may result in prize forfeiture, in which case Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, select an alternate winner from the remaining eligible entries. The potential prize winner may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and a release of liability, and a publicity release (collectively, the "Prize Claim Documents") within a timeframe specified by Sponsor.
