CONTEST DATES AND TIMES

The Contest begins on Thursday March 13, at 12pm ET and ends on Monday March 17th at 11:59pm ET (the “Contest End Date”), after which time the Contest will be closed and no further entries will be accepted.

HOW TO ENTER

Entrants can enter by following the Sponsor on Instagram at @CoolClimateClub, Liking the contest post, and tagging three friends in the comments on the contest post. All entries must be complete and are subject to verification by the Sponsor. 

The Contest does not have an entry limit.

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 Terms, for example but not limited to creating multiple accounts, identities, or registrations, may be deemed as tampering and may disqualify you from entering, participating, or winning a prize in the Contest. Entries that contain false or incomplete information may be void. Entries that are late, lost, stolen, illegible, contain false information, are damaged, misdirected, mutilated, garbled or incomplete, altered, or otherwise irregular, or that do not conform with or satisfy any of the conditions of these Terms may be void. Entrants or their parents or legal guardians, as applicable, grant Sponsor a non-exclusive licence to use all entries for any purpose. Proof of transmission (for example, screenshots or captures) does not constitute proof of entry or receipt of an entry. Receipt of an internet entry occurs when Sponsor’s server records the entry information.

CONTEST PRIZES AND ODDS OF WINNING

Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received before the Contest End Date. 

There are a total of four prizes available to be won as follows: 

  • Cool Climate Club baseball cap

  • Arc'teryx Beta Jacket

  • Yeti Rambler

  • Branded stickers


All winners, or their parent or legal guardian, as applicable, assume all liability for any injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused, by entering, participating in the 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.


WINNER SELECTION AND CONFIRMATION

On the day following the Contest End Date (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 or select the potential winners of prizes based on the applicable and reasonable judging criteria, as applicable (collectively, the selected potential winners of prizes are the “Selected Entrants”). 

Selected Entrants will be deemed winners if they meet all of the eligibility criteria set out in and otherwise are compliant with these Terms. If a Selected Entrant does not meet the eligibility criteria, they will be disqualified and will not receive a prize and another entrant will be selected from the remaining eligible entries. 

Selected Entrants, or their parents or legal guardians, as applicable, will be notified within 10 business days of the Draw Date and will be contacted via the email address provided at the time of entry into the Contest. Up to 3 attempts will be made to contact Selected Entrants, or their parents or legal guardians, as applicable, within 20 business days following the Draw Date. A Selected Entrant, or their parent or legal guardian, as applicable, that does not or cannot accept a prize may be replaced and a new Selected Entrant.

The Sponsor is not responsible for the failure for any reason whatsoever of a Selected Entrant, or their parent or legal guardian, as applicable, to receive notification or for the Sponsor to receive a Selected Entrant’s or their parent’s or legal guardian’s, as applicable, 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 (“Authorized Account Holder”). Each Selected Entrant, or their parent(s) or legal guardian(s), as applicable, may be required to provide proof that they are the Authorized Account Holder associated with a selected entry.
