NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. From time to time, The United States Playing Card Company (“USPC” or “Sponsor”) may sponsor contests, giveaways, and sweepstakes on Instagram (each a “Promotion”). These General Rules shall govern and control your participation in these Promotions. The starting date and time for any such Promotion and the details to enter will be announced in one of Bicycle Card’s Instagram feeds, namely @officialnewrummyapp. To enter a Promotion, respond to Bicycle Card’s Promotion offer on Instagram (e.g., by clicking on promotion link and completing entry form; by commenting on the post with a Promotion related hashtag [e.g., “contest@officialnewrummyapp”, “sweepstakes@officialnewrummyapp”]) and follow all other details to enter. Entries submitted in compliance with the foregoing and all other terms in these General Rules are hereafter “Entries” or, individually, an “Entry.”

PROMOTION LIMITS: Unless specified otherwise, only one entry per person, and you may only use one Instagram account to participate. Each complete and eligible response automatically qualifies as an entry to the Promotion. USPC does not accept entries for its Instagram Promotions by phone, fax, courier, mail or email.

ELIGIBILITY: To participate, you must be a Instagram user aged 18 and above who is a legal resident of the US (including DC) at the time of entry (“Entrants” or, individually, an “Entrant”).

Promotions are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Businesses, associations, or other groups are not eligible. Anyone in USPC’s sole discretion that is found to (a) be using multiple Instagram accounts to participate or (b) is participating in an attempt to hijack a Promotion (for example, participating in collaboration with other users) will be ineligible, and his/her Entries will be invalidated.

WINNER SELECTION: Winner selection will be based on either (i) a random selection from among all eligible entries conducted by Sponsor or Sponsor’s authorized representative; or (ii) the criteria specified on the Bicycle Cards feed.

In the event the winner(s) are selected at random, the odds of winning may depend upon the number of eligible Entries received.

In the event the winner(s) are selected based on specific criteria, Sponsor will select a panel of qualified judges (the “Judging Panel”) to evaluate each eligible entry based on the specified criteria, weighted in the Judging Panel’s sole discretion. To be clear, the Judging Panel may review multiple entries that submit similar entries; in such a case, the Judging Panel may consider the timing of such entries in making its decision but will not be bound to designate as a potential winner the first submission of such similar entries.

PRIZES: Prizes may consist of special Bicycle cards or merchandise, signed Bicycle cards or merchandise, uncut card sheets, framed art, in-person experiences, or other rewards determined by USPC in its sole discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change, in which case a prize of equal value may be substituted at USPC’s sole discretion. Entrants may waive the right to receive a prize. Prizes consist only of the items listed by USPC, and are non-assignable, non-transferable, with no cash redemption or substitution except at USPC’s sole discretion. USPC will determine all prize details (brand, model, size, etc.) in its sole discretion. Entrants may be required to provide their valid Social Security Number to USPC for tax purposes and/or complete an IRS W-9 form in order to receive a prize. Entrants are solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes on a prize’s value and, as applicable, will be issued an IRS Form 1099 based on the prize’s value determined by USPC. Prizes not claimed by eligible Entrants in accordance with these General Rules will not be sent to Entrants and will remain the property of USPC. USPC may require prize winners to complete, sign, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility/Liability Release/Publicity Release and other applicable documents.
