SWEEPSTAKES RULES

I. The Sweepstakes and Its Prizes

A. This Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) Sweepstakes is sponsored by Lone Survivalist. It will award a Prize of a $1,499 Survival Bag (retail value) to the winner and hereafter referred to as the “Prize” and as further described below.

B. The Prize shall consist of the Lone Survivalist Survival Bag, the Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the Lone Survivalist Survival Bag (hereafter “survival bag”). The actual retail price of the survival bag may fluctuate based on market conditions. The item to be awarded and all components included in the Prize may be replaced by substitution of a commercially reasonable substitute within the same commercially reasonable equivalent range of value, to be determined at Sponsor’s sole discretion, as made necessary by conditions outside of the Sponsor’s control.

C. Your odds of winning depend upon your submitting one qualifying entry within the rules set out below in Section II, entitled “Entry Procedures.” All qualifying entries have an equal chance of winning. The odds of any single qualifying entry winning the Sweepstakes then become one chance out of the total number of qualifying entries. For example, if you submit one of a total of 100,000 qualifying entries, your chances of winning are 1/100,000.

D. The Prize awarded shall be the Lone Survivalist $1,499 Survival Bag, except as may be allowed by Paragraphs I. B., IV. A. and V.D. of these Rules.

 

II. Entry

A. Entry Procedures

To enter the Sweepstakes, entrants must go to the Promotion Page on the Sponsor website, located at https://cf.lonesurvivalist.com/ls_main_entry and complete the online entry form. The entry form requires completion of the form through submission of the entrants’ (a) email address; (b) full name; (c) mobile telephone number (if any); and (d) other Registration Data as requested. The form must be submitted in strict compliance with the instructions as directed on the Promotion Page.

B. One Entry

Each qualifying entry entitles an entrant to one entry in the Sweepstakes and each entrant is entitled to a maximum of one entry per Sweepstakes. Any attempt by any person to obtain more than the permitted number of entries in any manner—by using multiple mobile devices, different identities, different registrations or different usernames, automated systems, or any other method--will void all Entries by that participant and disqualify that participant. Sponsor reserves the right to determine in its sole and reasonable discretion whether an entry is fraudulent, incomplete or otherwise invalid.

C. No Purchase

No purchase is necessary in order to enter the Sweepstakes or to win. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. The failure to purchase will not prejudice you from winning this or future Sweepstakes.

D. Consent to Receive Marketing Messages

By entering the Sweepstakes, you consent to receive from Sponsors and their partners: marketing materials, commercial emails, texts, automated dialer and artificial voice messages, and other electronic and written communications. Your consent to receipt of these communications is indicated by your submitting an entry form under Paragraph II above. You agree that your entry constitutes the prior express consent required under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, CAN-SPAM Act, California Consumer Protection Act, Telemarketing Rule, and other applicable statutes as currently existing or as amended.

E. Opt Out

You may opt out of receipt of marketing messages, using the provisions of Lone Survivalist, Inc.’s Privacy Policy, found here: https://cf.lonesurvivalist.com/privacy-policy-update. Your opting out of receipt of marketing messages will not affect your chances of winning any Sweepstakes.

E. Consent to Publicity

By entering into the Sweepstakes, each entrant consents to the use by Sponsor and their designees of entrant’s name, photograph, likeness, biography, voice, performance and/or video for advertising and promotional purposes including Sponsors’ partners content, in any and all media (including online announcements) now or hereafter known, throughout the universe in perpetuity without additional compensation, notification or permission, except where prohibited by law. In addition, entrants agree that as a winner of the Sweepstakes, they will sign any agreements and releases with respect to their services and performances as required by Sponsor. These agreements and releases may include granting to Sponsor the entrant’s publicity rights in any of Sponsor’s video presentations (live, videotaped, online or broadcast), marketing materials or communications.

G. Identification

Each entry shall be identified by a unique identifier, which shall be the entrant’s e-mail address. These unique identifiers shall be collected and stored in the Promotion Database. For purpose of these Sweepstakes Rules, the “Promotion Database” shall be defined as the entire list of valid entries generated during the Promotion Period.

III. Eligibility

A. Only persons entering the Sweepstakes by registering online are eligible to enter the Sweepstakes.

B. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable Federal, State and Local laws and regulations applying to Entrant’s entry into the Sweepstakes and potential receipt of a firearm. The entrant is solely responsible for determining the legality of the receipt and possession of the Prize described in these Rules in Entrant’s jurisdiction.

C. Only residents of the United States may enter this Sweepstakes.

D. Only persons who are at least 21 years of age as of the Opening Date of the Sweepstakes are eligible to enter.

E. Persons who are prohibited by Federal or State law from acquiring or possessing firearms because of the law in their jurisdiction or a personal legal or medical disability are not eligible to enter this Sweepstakes. Persons who are under a legal disability—such as conviction of a firearm related felony, or who are subject to court orders such as for domestic violence, or are legally disqualified from owning a firearm because of a disqualifying history of mental illness, or who have any other disability disqualifying them from obtaining or possessing a firearm—are disqualified from participation in the Sweepstakes. Should a person who is for any reason ineligible to obtain, purchase or possess a firearm submit an otherwise qualifying entry into the Sweepstakes, that person shall be disqualified under these rules from winning any Prize for which the ineligible person is disqualified, and an alternate winner will be chosen. Determination of disqualification and eligibility shall be at the sole discretion of the Sponsors.

F. Persons Related to Sponsors or their Partners

Certain persons are ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes or to win any Prize because of their relationship to the Sponsor or the Sponsor’s partners: these include employees and members of their households, whether or not related, and immediate families (spouses, parents, siblings, children and each of their respective spouses regardless of where they reside) of Sponsors, and any other participating parties and each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, dealerships, and affiliates, and their advertising and promotion agencies and all local sponsors. Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on any potential Prize winner and reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any person based on such background check if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that the apparent Winner is not eligible to win a Prize.

IV. Awards

A. Selection

One (1) potential Prize winner will be chosen by Sponsor in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received during the entire Sweepstakes Period. The selection shall be made within seven (7) days of the Closing Date by an independent third party who is not eligible to win the Sweepstakes or through the use of a randomizing and anonymous sweepstakes management program or “app.”

B. Notification

The potential Prize winner will be notified via e-mail within ten (10) days after selection of a winner, except as provided in Paragraph IV. C below.

 

C. Verification of Identify of Potential Winner

i. All Prize winners will be notified by email within seven (7) days of the applicable drawing date. The Prize winner may be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility and release of publicity/liability (“Affidavit”) within seven (7) days of notification.

ii. If any email is returned as undeliverable, and a potential Prize winner cannot be contacted within seven (7) days of the first attempt to contact him/her, fails to return the signed Affidavit within seven (7) days, or if the potential Prize winner is deemed ineligible for any other reason in Sponsor’s sole discretion, including failure to comply with these Official Rules, the applicable Prize award to the referenced potential winner shall be forfeited, the Prize winner shall be disqualified, and an alternate Prize winner will be selected as noted below.

iii. The potential Prize winner shall be subject to eligibility verification. The potential Prize winner will be required to provide verification of their identity and proof of their entry. The winner must then execute a notarized Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (“Affidavit”), and to return both documents within thirty (30) days following notification of their eligibility for award. Non-compliance within this time period shall result in forfeiture of the Prize and an alternative Prize winner will be selected. In addition, the potential Prize winner may be required to provide picture proof of identification, which may include a driver’s license, passport, voting card or similar government issued identification, and proof that she/he is the entrant that submitted the applicable winning Entry. The return of a Prize and/or Prize notification as undeliverable may result in forfeiture of the Prize. In no case shall Sponsor be liable in any manner where a potential Prize winner has not received notification sent from Sponsor or where Sponsor fails to receive a response from the potential Prize winner within the required response period. The winning Entry, as well as the associated information of the potential Prize winner, must identically match the records maintained by Sponsor in order for a Prize to be awarded. In the event of a dispute, the information provided by entrant and maintained by Sponsor will govern. Entries will be deemed made by the person under whose e-mail address the Entry was submitted, regardless of who actually submitted the Entry.

D. Substitute Winner

Should a winner fail to respond to notification, or should notification be returned undelivered after three attempts to notify a potential winner, Sponsor will follow the procedure set out in Paragraph V. E. below.

V. Other Provisions

A. All entrants must make every effort to keep their contact information up to date, so notifications from the Sponsor with respect to the Sweepstakes are possible.
