Any entrant using fraudulent means to participate in the Giveaway will be disqualified and may

and exclusive property. Eligibility is at the exclusive discretion of Promoter, and Promoter shall
be entitled to reject any entrant for any reason or no reason at all without having to provide an

the Giveaway for any reason and without prior notice to any Participant. In such instance,
Promoter may, if and as appropriate, select a winner using reasonable means that are materially

Random Drawing; Prizes; Notifying Prize Winners
A random drawing will be conducted on or about September 30, 2024 by Promoter to select
three (3) winners (each a “Winner”) from among all eligible entries received. Each Winner shall
receive one (1) of the following prizes (each a “Prize”): (a) KitchenAid Design Series Evergreen
Stand Mixer (estimated retail value of USD $799); (b) Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine
(estimated retail value of USD $999.95); or (c) Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender
(estimated retail value of USD $699.99). Odds of winning depend on the number of entries
received. The potential Winners will be notified by direct message on Instagram and must sign
and return Promoter’s Affidavit of Eligibility and Release within ten (10) days following the
effective date of Promoter’s prize notification (the “Notification”). Failure to respond within the

applicable period will result in forfeiture of the Prize, and Promoter shall have the option to
award the Prize to an alternate Winner. Actual retail value of the Prizes may vary. Any
difference between the estimated and actual retail value will not be awarded. The return of the
Notification or Prize as undeliverable may also result in disqualification and an alternate Winner
may be selected. Promoter is not responsible for digital communications that are undeliverable
because of any filtering of any kind, insufficient space in a Participant’s account, or any other
failure beyond its reasonable control. In the event of a dispute with respect to entries received
from more than one user having the same e-mail address/account, the authorized subscriber of
the account in question at the time of entry will be deemed the proper entrant. A potential
Winner will also forfeit his or her Prize if he or she is disqualified as not eligible to have
participated in the Giveaway in the first instance.
All federal, state, and local income taxes resulting from acceptance of the Prize are the
responsibility of Winner. Winners will be required to sign an IRS Form W-9 with the Winner’s
full social security number or the equivalent. Failure to submit a Form W-9 upon request will
result in forfeiture of the Prize. Promoter reserves the right to substitute an alternate Prize of
comparable or equal value in its sole discretion. Acceptance of the Prize also constitutes
permission to Promoter to use the Winner’s name, image, likeness, and biographical information
for marketing purposes (including posting the information on its website) without further
compensation or right of approval, unless prohibited by law.
Subject to applicable law, the Prizes are offered “as is” without any express or implied warranty
of any kind or nature, including without limitation, any warranty respecting condition,
merchantability, quality, title, or fitness for a particular purpose.
All parts of the Prizes are subject to availability, and subject to change or cancellation without
written notice or warning. Should an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake, act of
public enemies, actions of governmental authorities, epidemics, pandemics and the spread of
infectious diseases, including without limitation COVID-19 (as defined by the World Health
Organization and any of the strains, variants or mutations thereof), and any related governmental
or judicial actions, taken in connection with, or as a response to, any such event, or any other
event beyond the reasonable control of a party, whether or not existing, known, foreseen or
foreseeable at the time this Giveaway occurs, render the redemption or fulfillment of all or a
portion of the Prizes delayed, hindered, adversely affected, impracticable, or impossible,
Promoter in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to evaluate, make modifications to,
and restructure the redemption and fulfillment processes and timelines for the Prizes, or portion
thereof, that Promoter is responsible for, which may include, but is not limited to, providing
additional time for redemption and/or fulfillment.

biographical information for marketing, advertising, and publicity purposes in any media
throughout the world at any time without the obligation to seek consent or to provide Participant
with any payment or other form of consideration. Participant agrees to execute any document
reasonably required by Promoter to effectuate the terms hereof and failure to do so shall give rise
to Promoter’s right to execute any and all such documents as Participant’s attorney-in-fact,
which right shall be coupled with an interest and therefore, irrevocable.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability
of these official rules or the rights and obligations of participants or promotor in connection with
the Giveaway shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
State of Utah without giving effect to any choice of law of conflict of law rules or provisions that
would cause the application of any other state’s laws.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Any dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) arising out of or related in any way to
(a) the Giveaway, and/or (b) the awarding or redemption of any Prize, will be resolved by
arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and Promoter agree
that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language,
administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS

4

Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section,
and as of the date of these Terms). Because these Terms, and this arbitration agreement concern
interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all
disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA
and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. Arbitration will be
handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitration shall be
conducted by telephone or video conference or based on written submissions. Judgment on
the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration
under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class
actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and
Promoter are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or
class arbitration. Winners List: For a list of all Winners, send a self-addressed, stamped
