NO PURCHASE NECESSARY: To get a free iPod or other prize from FreeiPodGuy, it is not necessary to make any purchase or donation, or to take any action whatsoever, other than actions required in these rules. Similarly, the chances of winning a free iPod or other prize in any particular drawing will not be enhanced by making any purchase or donation, or taking other actions. This is not a lottery or raffle--it's a freebie.
ELIGIBILITY: FreeiPodGuy's contests are offered and available only to people who are 13 years of age or higher or if younger than 13, who have permission from a parent or guardian to enter and win; who are legal residents of the United States of America; who do not live in jurisdictions where such contests are prohibited; who are not family members of FreeiPodGuy; and who comply with all other requirements of these rules.
FREQUENCY OF CONTESTS: FreeiPodGuy will give away each prize at a point in time after the monies required to purchase the prize have been raised by the operation of the FreeiPodGuy.com website (the sources of monies potentially including but not necessarily limited to those raised through donations, advertising click-throughs, and affiliate programs). When possible, the date of the next contest will be announced in advance, but this may not always be possible due to the nature of the drawings.
HOW TO ENTER: Just fill out the entry form on the FreeiPodGuy.com website. You do not have to complete any offers, and you do not have to talk others into registering or completing offers. Cool, huh?
DRAWING: Unless otherwise described in the text of the FreeiPodGuy.com website, one winner will be randomly drawn from all eligible entries on the drawing date.
PRIZES & ODDS: FreeiPodGuy will choose at his sole discretion which iPod is given away. FreeiPodGuy may choose to offer other related prizes in addition to or instead of iPods, or to substitute other prizes of similar value to those offered. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
TAXES: Taxes are the sole responsibility of the winner.
MINORS: If the winner of a prize is a minor (as defined by the jurisdiction of winner's residence), the prize will be awarded to the minor's parent or legal guardian. The parent or guardian must agree to all terms of these rules and sign all required documents on behalf of himself/herself and the winner, or the prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.
CLAIMING PRIZES: Following each drawing, the prize will be mailed, at FreeiPodGuy's expense, to the United States mailing address provided by the winner or their parent or legal guardian, only after FreeiPodGuy has received a Prize Claim Form completed by the winner or their parent or legal guardian. (A blank Prize Claim Form will be provided.) Winners or their parents or legal guardians (the if winner is a minor) must complete and return a Prize Claim Form within 14 days of notification. Failure to do so may result in disqualification with an alternate winner selected. Likewise, return of our prize notification or prize as non-deliverable may result in disqualification with an alternate winner selected. If the winner is found not to be in compliance with these rules or is otherwise ineligible, no prize for you!
FREQUENCY OF ENTRY: Each individual person may enter one time each day. Entrants who attempt to make multiple registrations under different names or e-mail addresses will be disqualified.
USE OF LIKENESS: By participating, where permitted by law the winner (and their parent or legal guardian if a minor) grant to FreeiPodGuy the right to publish the winner's name, likeness and biographical information (but not telephone or street address) in press releases or advertising materials and on the FreeiPodGuy.com website, without payment and without notification, review or approval.
INDEMNIFICATION: By participating, the winner (and their parent or legal guardian if a minor), release and agree to hold harmless the owner of the website and all affiliates and other related persons and entities, including advertising and promotion agencies and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents from any and all liability for any injuries, loss or damage of any kind to person (including death) and property, arising in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the prize, or participation in FreeiPodGuy contests or in any of related activity. Besides, it wouldn't be nice to sue me, after all I've done for you.
DISQUALIFICATION: FreeiPodGuy reserves the right, at his sole discretion, to disqualify any entry or person it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the contest or web site; to be using ad-blocking tools, to be in violation of these rules; to be acting in a non-sportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person. Any use of entry methods that do not require the entrant to read the content of the FreeiPodGuy.com website will void all such entries by such methods and persons using any such methods will be disqualified. This includes entering for other people. (In other words, if you do it in a way that doesn't involve the possiblity of reading ads, no iPod for you!)
PREMATURE TERMINATION OF CONTEST: For any reason and at any time, FreeiPodGuy may, at his sole discretion, terminate any contest or the FreeiPodGuy.com website. In such an event, any pending drawings at the time of termination will not be held, and prizes pertinent to those drawings will not be awarded.
