To be eligible, Mail-in Requests must be post-marked during the Contest Period and received by no later than five (5) business days after the close of the Contest Period.

1. PRIZES:

There is one (1) Prize available to be received (the “Prize”). The Prize consists of: (i) a $500 cheque to the Operator; (ii) an Egg Master recognition plaque; and (iii) one (1) paid four (4) week social media ad, geo-targeted to the Operator’s applicable jurisdiction, promoting the Operator and the Operator’s winning of the Contest (the applicable Social Platform, ad content, timing and other specifics of the social media ad will be determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion). The total approximate retail value of the Prize is $1,000 CAD.

The approximate retail value of the Prize noted above is current as of the time of preparing these Rules. Under no circumstances whatsoever will any difference between the actual retail value of the Prize as at the time of fulfillment or otherwise and the approximate retail value of the Prize noted above be awarded. Each Prize must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable, assignable or convertible to cash (except as may be specifically permitted by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion). No substitutions are permitted, except at Sponsor’s option. The Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any Prize in whole or in part in the event that all or any component of such Prize is unavailable with a Prize or Prize component(s) of equal or greater retail value, including, without limitation, but solely at the Sponsor’s sole discretion, a cash award. All characteristics and features of the Prize, except as otherwise explicitly stated above, are at the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Prize recipient is solely responsible for all costs not expressly described herein. Prize recipient is solely responsible for reporting and paying any tax that may be payable in connection with the Prize.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Prize will be awarded to the confirmed winning Operator only. To be confirmed a winning Operator, the applicable Authorized Representative must complete the requirements in accordance with Rule 10 below in order to accept the Prize on behalf of the Operator. The Contest Parties will not involve themselves in, and the Released Parties accept no obligation or liability in respect of, any decision regarding the subsequent distribution, allocation, use or misuse of the Prize.

None of the Released Parties makes any representation or offers any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality or fitness of the Prize awarded in connection with the Contest. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the confirmed recipient understands and acknowledges that they may not seek reimbursement or pursue any legal or equitable remedy from either the Sponsor or any of the other Released Parties should their Prize fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory. For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting the Prize, the confirmed recipient agrees to waive all recourse against the Sponsor and all of the other Released Parties if the Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part.

2. ELIGIBLE RECIPIENT SELECTION PROCESS:

After the end of the Contest Period, a panel of judges (the “Contest Judges”) appointed by the Sponsor at its sole and absolute discretion will judge and assign Points to each Operator Promotional Set-up, Social Media Support and Additional Support on the basis of the following weighted criteria (collectively, the “Judging Criteria”):

The Operator that obtains the highest number of total Points in the Contest (for certainty, based on their total Consumer Contest Points, Promotional Set-up Points, Social Media Support Points and Additional Support Points obtained in the Contest, regardless of the method of entry) will be selected as a potential Prize winner. The odds of winning depend on the number of Consumer Contest participants and the number and calibre (based on the Judging Criteria) of eligible Participation Content received. In the event of a tie between two or more Operators based on Points, the Operator – from amongst all such Operators that are tied – with the highest number of Promotional Set-up Points will be deemed to have obtained the higher Score (followed by the number of Social Media Support Points, Additional Support Points, then Consumer Contest Points, in the event of any further tie or ties). Judging is scheduled to be completed on or about May 24, 2024 (the “Selection Date”).

1. ELIGIBLE RECIPIENT NOTIFICATION PROCESS:

The Sponsor or its designated representative will make a minimum of two (2) attempts to contact the Authorized Representative of the potential Prize winner via email within two (2) business days of the Selection Date. If the potential recipient’s Authorized Representative cannot be contacted within two (2) business days of the first notification attempt, or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable; then the applicable Operator may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be disqualified (and, if disqualified, will forfeit all rights to the Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and time permitting, to select an alternate potential winner in accordance with the procedure outlined above, with the necessary amendments (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such newly selected winner).

2. ELIGIBLE WINNER CONFIRMATION PROCESS:

NO ONE IS A WINNER UNLESS AND UNTIL THE SPONSOR OFFICIALLY CONFIRMS THE OPERATOR AS A WINNER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE RULES. BEFORE BEING DECLARED THE CONFIRMED PRIZE WINNER, the Authorized Representative of the potential winner will be required to sign and return, on behalf of the applicable Operator and on his/her own behalf, within two (2) business days of notification the Sponsor’s declaration and release form, which (among other things): (i) confirms compliance with these Rules; (ii) acknowledges acceptance of the Prize (as awarded); (iii) releases the Released Parties from any and all liability in connection with this Contest, their participation therein and/or the awarding and use/misuse of the Prize or any portion thereof; and (iv) agrees to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of the Operator’s name, address, photograph or other likeness without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by or on behalf of the Sponsor in any manner or medium whatsoever, including print, broadcast or the internet, worldwide and in perpetuity.

If a winner or the Authorized Representative of a potential winner: (a) fails to return the properly executed Contest documents within the specified time; (b) cannot accept (or is unwilling to accept) the Prize (as awarded) for any reason; and/or (c) is determined to be in violation of these Rules (all as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion); then such potential recipient will be disqualified (and will forfeit all rights to the Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and time permitting, to select an alternate potential winner in accordance with the procedure outlined above, with the necessary amendments (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such newly selected winner).
