  2. Agreement to Official Rules: By entering the Giveaway, you indicate your full and unconditional agreement to, and acceptance of, these Official Rules and Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all of the requirements in these Official Rules.
  3. Entry Period: The Giveaway begins at 2:30pm ET on April 29, 2016 and ends at 4:00pm ET on May 5, 2016 (the “Entry Period”). Entries submitted before or after the Entry Period will not be eligible. Sponsor’s computer is the official and conclusive time-keeping device for purposes of determining whether an entry was submitted during the Entry Period.
  4. How to Enter: Visit Sponsor’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ FoodtownSupermarkets, and follow the directions to respond in a comment to Sponsor’s post on Facebook. There is a limit of one (1) prize per household and you may not use multiple Facebook accounts to enter. The use of an agency or any automated system to enter is strictly prohibited, and Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entries deemed by Sponsor to have been received through such methods, as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to remove a comment and void that entry for any reason, in its sole discretion.
  5. Drawing: On or about May 6, 2016, Sponsor will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing of all entries received. The odds of being selected depend on the number of entries received.
  6. Notification and Requirements of Potential Winner: Sponsor will attempt to notify a potential winner within 2 business days of the drawing by replying directly to the comment the potential winner used to enter. If a potential winner does not respond within 2 business days after Sponsor replies, or as directed by Sponsor, an alternate potential winner may be selected in his or her place in a random drawing of all remaining entries received. Only three (3) successive alternate potential winners will be drawn and contacted. A potential winner may be required to complete and return an affidavit of eligibility, and a document in form and content acceptable to Sponsor which includes language (i) releasing the Giveaway Entities, (ii) reaffirming the release of Facebook, and (iii) authorizing Sponsor to release information pertaining to, and images of, the Giveaway winner for promotional purposes. If a potential winner is a minor, his or her parent or legal guardian will be required to co-sign the documents on his or her behalf. If a potential winner fails to sign and return these documents within the required time period, an alternate potential winner may be selected in his or her place in a random drawing of all remaining entries received. Only three (3) successive alternate potential winners will be drawn and contacted.
  7. Prize: The winner will receive one (1) $100 Foodtown gift card. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prize is the face amount of the gift card. A winner is responsible for paying any applicable income taxes and any and all other costs and expenses not listed above. Any prize details not specified above will be determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. Neither a prize nor the right to receive a prize may be transferred, and the prize must be accepted as awarded. A winner may not request cash or a substitute prize; however, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize with a similar prize of at least equal value if the prize is not available for any reason, as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion.
  8. General Conditions: In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Giveaway is impaired in any way, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either (a) suspend the Giveaway to address the impairment and then resume the Giveaway; or (b) award the prize at random from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. Sponsor s the right to permanently disqualify from any promotion any person it believes has intentionally or knowingly violated these Official Rules. The failure of Sponsor to comply with any provision of these Official Rules due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake, terrorism, act of public enemies, actions of governmental authorities outside of the control of Sponsor (excepting compliance with applicable codes and regulations), or other “force majeure” event will not be considered a breach of these Official Rules. Sponsor assumes no responsibility for any injury or damage to entrants’ or to any other person’s computer relating to or resulting from entering or downloading materials or software in connection with the Giveaway. Sponsor is not responsible for telecommunications, network, electronic, technical, or computer failures of any kind; for inaccurate transcription of Entry information; for errors in any promotional or marketing materials or in these Official Rules; for any human or electronic error; or for Entries that are stolen, misdirected, garbled, delayed, lost, late, damaged, or returned. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Proof of sending any communication to Sponsor by mail shall not be deemed proof of receipt of that communication. In the event of a dispute as to the owner of an online entry, the authorized account holder of the Facebook account used to enter will be deemed to be the owner. The Giveaway is a discrete event, and is unrelated to any other giveaway, contest, sweepstakes or promotional activity of Sponsor or the Giveaway Entities other than Sponsor, except to the extent that an entrant to the Giveaway is disqualified by reason of having been selected within the ninety (90) day period concluding on the first day of the Entry Period for the Giveaway as the winner in a separate sweepstakes, giveaway or contest conducted by Sponsor.  The Giveaway is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited.
