OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
The Winter Windfall Contest (the “Contest”) is sponsored by Bitbuy Technologies Inc. (the “Sponsor”), located at 110 Cumberland St #341, Toronto, ON M5R 3V5.
The Contest is open to legal residents of Canada, excluding Québec, who are eighteen (18) years of age or older on the date of entry, with the exception of employees of the Sponsor, its parent, related and affiliated companies, subsidiaries, departments or agencies, franchisees, suppliers, advertising and promotional agencies, contest administrators, and any other parties engaged in the development, production or distribution of Contest materials, and those living in the same household. By participating in this Contest, entrants acknowledge compliance with, and agree to be bound by, these Contest rules (“Contest Rules”). Entrants who do not comply with any of the Contest Rules are subject to disqualification by the Sponsor, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion.
The Contest begins on December 19th, 2023 at 10:00a.m. (Eastern Time Zone) and ends on December 31st, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time Zone) (the “Contest End Date”), after which time the Contest will be closed and no further entries will be accepted.
No purchase is required. There are three methods to entering the Contest before the Contest End Date (each an “Entry”). Completion of an Entry will result in an entrant receiving one (1) entry into the Contest. Receipt of an entry occurs when the Entry is completed and the Sponsor's server records the Entry information. All entries must be complete and are subject to verification by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion. Multiple entries per entrant are permitted. Maximum one entry per day. Maximum 14 entries for the entire duration of the contest.
There are three ways to enter:
Option 1. One (1) Entry can be obtained by making a crypto or cash deposit into an existing Bitbuy Account prior to the Content End Date. Upon confirmation of the deposit into the Account by the Sponsor, an Entry will be provided to the holder of the Account. Depositing crypto into the Account of another person will provide an Entry to the Account holder receiving the crypto and not the depositor.
Option 2. One (1) Entry can be obtained by staking any crypto asset in your Bitbuy Account prior to the Contest End Date. Contest participants must be eligible to stake and complete any appropriateness assessments as prompted prior to the Contest End Date in order to receive an Entry.
Option 3. One (1) Entry can be obtained by referring a friend to sign up for a Bitbuy Express Trade Account (“Account”) prior to the Contest End Date. Any referral must sign up for an Account and complete all account verification requests (KYC and suitability requirements) as prompted prior to the Contest End Date in order to receive an Entry. This option is exclusively offered to residents of Canada (excluding Quebec) where the referred friend does not already have a Bitbuy Account.
Any attempt or suspected attempt to use robotic, automatic, programmed or otherwise illicit means to enter the Contest, or any other methods not authorized by these Contest Rules, for example, but not limited to, creating multiple identities or registrations, all in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, shall be deemed as tampering and may disqualify you from entering, participating and/or winning a prize. Entries that contain false or incomplete information are void. Entries that are late, lost, contain false information, are misdirected, incomplete, altered or otherwise irregular or that do not conform with or satisfy any or all of the conditions of the Contest Rules are void. Entrants grant Sponsor a non-exclusive license to use all entries for any purpose. No correspondence will be entered into except with Selected Entrants (as defined below). Proof of transmission (for example, screenshots or captures) does not constitute proof of entry or receipt of an entry. Multiple entries from a single Twitter user will not be accepted. Any entrant found to be using multiple Twitter accounts to enter this Contest will be ineligible to win.
Nineteen (19) potential Contest prize winners will be announced after the close of the Contest End Date. One (1) prize per winner consisting of the following: 1 cash prize of CAD $1,000, 1 prize of 0.01 BTC, 1 prize of 0.1 ETH, 1 prize of 2 AVAX tokens, 1 prize of 1 SOL token, 1 prize of 100 XRP tokens, 1 prize of 100 ADA tokens, 1 prize of 50 ARB token, 1 prize of 1,000 DOGE token, 5 prizes of 2,000,000 SHIB tokens, 5 prizes of 10,000,000 PEPE tokens.
All winners assume any and all liability for any injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused, by entering, participating in this Contest or the use or redemption of a prize. Prizes must be accepted as awarded and have no cash value. Prizes or any portion of a prize cannot be combined with other discounts, promotions or special offers. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute an alternate prize of equal or greater value if an advertised prize is unavailable at the time of award.
The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received before the Contest End Date.
Selected Entrants will be required, as a condition of winning a prize, to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, the Sponsor’s time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by the Sponsor.
On January 8th, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time Zone) at 110 Cumberland St #341, Toronto, ON M5R 3V5 (the “Draw Date”) the Sponsor, or an employee, agent or other representative of the Sponsor, will conduct a random draw from all eligible entries received before Contest End Date and select the potential winners (the “Selected Entrants”). Selected Entrants will be deemed winners if they meet all of the eligibility criteria set out in these Contest Rules. Sponsor shall have the right at any time to require proof of eligibility to participate in the Contest. If a Selected Entrant does not meet the eligibility criteria, he or she will be disqualified and will not receive a prize and another entrant will be selected by way of a random draw from the remaining eligible entries. Before being declared a winner, Selected Entrants will be required to: (i) correctly answer the Sponsor’s skill-testing question; (ii) sign and return the Sponsor’s declaration of eligibility and/or liability/publicity release form (the “Declaration and Release”); and (iii) comply with all other Contest Rules, all in the sole discretion of Sponsor.
Selected Entrants will be notified within two (2) business days of the Draw Date and will be contacted via the email address of the entrant’s Account or by direct message to the account used at the time of entry into the Contest. Up to three (3) attempts will be made to contact Selected Entrants within two (2) business days following the Draw Date. A Selected Entrant that does not or cannot accept a prize may be forfeited and a new Selected Entrant selected by random draw, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion. A signed copy of the Sponsor’s Declaration and Release (if requested) must be received by the Sponsor no later than January 15th, 2024. The Sponsor is not responsible for the failure for any reason whatsoever of a Selected Entrant to receive notification or for the Sponsor to receive a Selected Entrant’s response.
If the identity of a Selected Entrant is disputed, the entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the individual assigned to the email address entered at the time of entry (the “Authorized Account Holder”). Each Selected Entrant may be required to provide proof that he or she is the Authorized Account Holder associated with a selected entry.
All winners must sign the Sponsor’s Declaration and Release to: (i) confirm compliance with all Contest Rules; (ii) agree to accept prizes as awarded; (iii) release, discharge and hold harmless the Sponsor, its departments and agencies, parent, related and affiliated companies, subsidiaries, franchisees, advertising and promotional agencies, counsel, marketing partners, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, successors, sponsors, partners, licensees, subsidiaries, agents, artists, advisors, assignees, and all others associated with the administration, development and execution of the Contest (the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all manner of action, cause of action, claim or demand, loss or injury, use or misuse of a prize or any travel related thereto, and the use of entries by the Sponsor, suit, debt, covenant, contract, including legal fees and expenses, whatsoever, including but not limited to, claims based on negligence, breach of contract and fundamental breach, failure of any third-party contractor or supplier used in connection with any aspect of the Contest to perform or deliver any goods or services, any act of God or any other event beyond the Released Parties’ control, any dissatisfaction of any kind by a winner with any aspect of the Contest or any prize, liability for physical injury, death, or property damage which the entrants, guests, their heirs, successors or assigns have, might have or could have suffered, by reason of or arising out of the entrant’s participation in the Contest and/or in connection with the acceptance and/or exercise by the entrant of prizes as awarded; and (iv) indemnify the Released Parties against any loss, damage or expense, including legal fees, that any of the Released Parties may suffer or incur as a result of any non-compliance by entrants with any of the Contest Rules or participation in the Contest and/or in connection with the acceptance and/or exercise by an entrant of a prize, and the use of entries by the Sponsor.
