Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same e-mail or social media account for entry. Any attempt to obtain additional entries through fraud or other illegitimate means will result in disqualification, at Sponsor’s discretion.

If there is a dispute about the identity of the entrant, Submissions will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address or social media account submitted or associated with the Submission. An “authorized account holder” means (i) the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address; or (ii) if no e-mail address is associated with the Submission, the natural person assigned to the primary e-mail address designated on the social media account submitted or associated with the Submission. A potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that a potential winner is the authorized account holder of the account associated with the winning Submission.

5. Selection and Notification of Winner: On or about April 10, 2023, a panel of judges selected at Sponsor’s discretion will score each Submission based on the following criteria (“Judging Criteria”):

Judging Criteria:

• Creativity (i.e., was the method of stitching the original video unique/creative) (25%);
• Humor (i.e., was there humor in either delivery or circumstances of the story) (25%); 
• Severity (i.e., how much did the “oh no” experience impact your business) (25%); and
• Authenticity (i.e., is the story relatable, believable, and/or something other business owners would understand) (25%).

The highest-scoring Submission will be deemed the potential winner. In the unlikely event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the Submission’s score in the following criteria: severity (i.e., how much did the “oh no” experience impact your business). The odds of winning a prize depend on the number and quality of eligible entries received.

Sponsor will notify the potential winner via direct message on TikTok on or about April 10,  2023. To claim a prize, the potential winner must follow the instructions contained in the notification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sponsor may require the potential winner to sign and return, within seven days of being notified by Sponsor, an affidavit of eligibility, liability and publicity release, and other legal, regulatory or tax-related documents required at Sponsor’s discretion (“Affidavit and Related Documents”) in order to claim a prize. If (i) the attempted notification is returned as undeliverable without a forwarding address; (ii) the Affidavit and Related Documents are not signed and returned within seven days of the date the notification e-mail is sent by Sponsor; or (iii) if potential winner is otherwise unable to accept the prize as stated, the prize will be forfeited and will be awarded to an alternate winner in accordance with the Judging Criteria. Alternate selections will be held until the prize is awarded. If, by reason of a print or other error, more prizes are claimed than the number specified in these Official Rules, the prize will be awarded to the person with the highest scoring Submission in accordance with the above selection process from among all valid claimants to award the prize available. 

Verification of Potential Winner: POTENTIAL WINNER IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST.
