During the Sweepstakes Period, you may enter the Sweepstakes by ​​visiting https://fromourplace.ca/pages/refer-a-friend and referring a friend, either by entering their email address or using a uniquely-generated link (‘refer-a-friend link”), making clear to such friend that you will receive an additional entry if he or she uses the refer-a-friend link. The refer-a-friend link may be distributed to your friends via the email address associated with your Our Place account.  You may only refer persons with whom you have an existing relationship.  In addition, your referred friend can enter the Sweepstakes by either referring a friend as outlined above, or by opting into our email marketing lists here: https://fromourplace.ca/collections/shop-all?utm_term=2024March_RAFGiveaway_FriendSignUp, during the Sweepstakes Period using the same email account they were referred on. 

 All entry information and posts shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Submissions” or each as a “Submission.”  Submissions must comply with the Guidelines and Restrictions defined below.     

Limit 5 refer-a-friend entries per person, regardless of the method of submission.  All entries must be received by the end of the Sweepstakes Period in order to participate.  Use of computer programs (other than as generally necessary to manually use social networks or access websites for the purposes described herein) and other automatic means to enter the Sweepstakes is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated maximum number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void such entries and will result in disqualification.  Normal Internet access, usage charges and/or mobile usage imposed by your online service or mobile provider may apply.  Entries made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other website or e-mail address, including but not limited to commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Sweepstakes.  Tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the use of any device to automate the entry process, is prohibited and any entries deemed by Sponsor, in its sole reasonable discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void.  In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the entry in question will be deemed to be the entrant, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria for this Sweepstakes. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address.  The potential winner may be required to show proof that he or she is the authorized account holder.  In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s reasonable satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.  The Sweepstakes 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 Sweepstakes or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries in the Sweepstakes.  The Sweepstakes Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of entries.  Any communication or information transmitted to Sponsor and/or the Sweepstakes Site by electronic mail or otherwise is and will be treated as non-confidential and nonproprietary.  Entries become the exclusive property of the Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged.  As a condition of entering the Sweepstakes, each entrant gives consent: (1) for Sponsor to obtain and deliver his or her name, email address and other information to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and complying with applicable laws, regulations and rules;  and (2) to the collection, storage and use of his or her personally identifiable information by Sponsor in accordance with its privacy policy located at fromourplace.ca/policies/privacy-policy.    

 

WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION:  At the end of the Sweepstakes Period, the winner(s) will be randomly selected in a drawing from all eligible entries received throughout the Sweepstakes Period.  The drawing will be conducted by Sponsor, using randomization methods selected by Sponsor or in its sole discretion.  Odds of winning a prize are dependent upon the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.  The potential winner(s) will be notified via email.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason outside the control of the Sponsor.  

Before a selected entrant will be deemed a winner, he or she must (i) execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release and/or any other legal documents that Sponsor may require (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”) within five (5) days from the date Sponsor notifies selected entrant and sends the Prize Claim Documents to the selected entrant, or the selected entrant will be subject to disqualification; (ii) be in full compliance with these Official Rules; (iii) if required by Sponsor, provide proof of identity; and (iv) if applicable, the winner’s guest must sign and return a travel release or any other legal document that Sponsor may require within five (5) days of its receipt. If the selected entrant is from Canada, in addition to the other winner confirmation requirements set out in above, to be confirmed a winner, the selected entrant must correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill testing question to be administered by phone at a mutually convenient time or within the Prize Claim Documents

 

If a selected entrant does not respond within five (5) days of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such selected entrant, such selected entrant will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate selected entrant may be selected.  Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to two (2) selected entrant(s) of an applicable prize in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed winner(s) of such applicable prize after such attempts have been made, such prize may go unawarded.
