Once the registration process is completed and submitted, the entrant will have an opportunity to participate in the specific Instant Win for which he/she received an Invitation. Upon receiving an Invitation to participate, each entrant must follow the directions on the screen to be entered into the Instant Win (an “Online Entry”). Upon participation, entrant will immediately be informed whether he/she has won a Prize, subject to verification of eligibility. If a message that contains any message other than a winning prize message, the entrant is not a winner. Personal information collected in connection with this Instant Win will be used in accordance with the privacy policy found at https://try.blinc.com/privacy/ as well as the additional uses contemplated in these Official Rules. No purchase of the advertised product or service is required. A purchase or survey response will not improve the chances of winning. Participation in the process to submit an Online Entry is optional and not required in order to win a Prize.

Limit: Each person may only enter the Instant Win one (1) time per unique Invitation during the Entry Period, regardless of whether it is submitted online or by email. Any Entry that is mechanically reproduced, copied, illegible, incomplete, or inaccurate and Entries by any means which subvert the entry process are void. Incomplete Entries or Entries not complying with these Official Rules are subject to disqualification, at the Administrator's sole discretion. Entries for one Entry Period will not roll over into subsequent drawings, contests or to the next Entry Period.
NOTE: Participation must be by the entrant and only as directed in these Official Rules. Participation by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other website or email address, including but not limited to commercial promotion subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Instant Win. The use of any device to automate the entry process is prohibited and will lead to disqualification. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of plays and/or Entries by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, registrations, email addresses, logins or any other methods will void that participant’s plays and/or Entries, and that participant may be disqualified at Administrator’s discretion. Administrators are not responsible for any lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due mailed Entries, which will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, participation will be deemed completed by the authorized account holder of the email address provided at the time of registration. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, wireless carrier, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive email address will be disqualified and ineligible to win.
The Promotion Entities 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 Instant Win or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the Entries in the Instant Win. The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of Entries. Proof of sending or submission of Entry will not be deemed proof of receipt by Administrator. Administrator’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
WINNER SELECTION: Prior to the start of the Instant Win, Administrator will randomly determine one (1) prize determination number (the “Prize Determination Number”) for the Instant Win. At the time of the entrant’s participation in the Instant Win, the Administrator’s technology will randomly generate one (1) number associated with the entrant’s game play (the “Participant Number”) for the applicable Instant Win. If the Prize Determination Number associated with the Instant Win in which the entrant is participating and the entrant’s Participant Number match identically, the entrant will be a potential winner of the applicable Prize for that Instant Win, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. There will only be one (1) winner per Entry Period.
ALL POTENTIAL WINNING PLAYS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY ADMINISTRATOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING. A “SCREEN SHOT” IS NOT PROOF OR EVIDENCE OF A WINNING GAME PLAY AND/OR PRIZE. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE WEBSITE AND/OR FACEBOOK APPLICATION SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL SAID ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING PLAY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND SAID ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. ADMINISTRATOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS. ANY PLAY THAT OCCURS AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR ANY REASON IS DEEMED A DEFECTIVE PLAY AND IS VOID AND WILL NOT BE HONORED.
WINNER VERIFICATION: If an entrant receives a notification that they are a potential winner, Administrator will send an email with instructions on how to claim the Prize to the email address the entrant used during registration. Follow the instructions in the email to claim the Prize. Any potential Prize winner will be required to execute an affidavit of eligibility, liability release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a publicity release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”). If a potential winner cannot be notified, fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents within five (5) days of prize notification, or is disqualified for any reason, that potential winner may be disqualified and, at the discretion of the Administrator the Prize will either not be awarded or a new Prize Determination Number will be selected and the Instant Win will continue. THE NUMBER OF PRIZES AVAILABLE WILL DIMINISH AS THEY ARE AWARDED. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANY PRIZE WILL BE AWARDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INSTANT WIN.
