OFFICIAL RULES – REVIEW PROMOTION

 

1. HOW TO ENTER: No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win this Review Promotion (the “Promotion”). Any purchase or payment will not increase your chance of winning the Promotion. The Promotion begins on the first day of each calendar quarter starting on 12:00 AM EST on January 1, 2021 and continues until further notice (each calendar quarter a “Promotion Period”). During the Promotion Period, you may enter the Promotion either by providing a written testimonial or review of any service provider or community featured on the Site (the “Featured Provider”) when prompted or designated with an “Add Review” or similar button (the “Review”). You must create an account or profile on www.agefriendly.com (the “Site”) and provide with all required information requested to post a Review on the Site, or submit your Review by email with your first and last name, age, and location (the “Review,” which together with any related materials and information you provide as part of your entry, constitute the “Submission”); and include #promotionentry as the first text of your Review. The Review must be at least 5 words, and Submissions must be based on your actual experience with the Featured Provider (though you are not required to disclose personal health information) and/or otherwise contain an FTC compliant and conspicuous disclosure per the FTC endorsement guides available here (the “FTC Guides”). Multiple Submissions during any Promotion Period are permitted provided that each Review must be original and materially different than any previously submitted Reviews. Submissions must be in English and are further subject to any posting guidelines set forth in the Policies. Incomplete, false, or deceptive Submissions are void. Online entry is the only method of entry.

2. ELIGIBILITY: The Promotion is open to residents of and currently residing in one of the 50 United States and/or the District of Columbia, 18 years old or the age of majority in such state as of July 1, 2024 (whichever greater).

3. SELECTING THE WINNER AND NOTIFICATION: One potential prize winner will be selected by a random drawing after compiling all eligible Submissions for each Promotion Period (each an “Entrant” and collectively the “Entrants”). Age-Friendly Institute, Inc. (“AFI”), whose decision is final and binding in all respects, will contact such Entrant via email provided or associated with the Submission on or before the 5th business day of each calendar quarter for the preceding Promotion Period (the “Potential Prize Winner”). AFI’s computer will serve as the official time keeping device for this Promotion. Odds of winning the Prize depend on the number of eligible Submissions received from Entrants during the applicable Promotion Period. Failure of Potential Prize Winner to respond to such notification within 48 hours will result in disqualification of the Potential Prize Winner and an alternate potential winner will be selected (“Alternate Potential Winner”). Alternate Potential Winner shall be contacted via email as soon as practicable and shall also have 48 hours to respond. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE (WHICH MAY REQUIRE ENTRANT’S EXECUTION AND RETURN OF AN AFFIDAVIT OF ELIGIBILITY AND PUBLICITY AND LIABILITY RELEASE CONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS HEREIN, AS DETERMINED IN AFI’S SOLE DISCRETION) (the “Winner”).
