The Promotion is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years old at the time of entry and who can provide proof of U.S. residency; except that residents of Florida and New York are NOT eligible to enter or win. Residents of Florida, New York, U.S. territories and possessions, and U.S. military installations in foreign countries are NOT eligible to enter this Promotion or win the prize. Past and present employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, and representatives of Sponsor, of other companies involved in the development or execution of this Promotion, and/or of the prize supplier and their respective affiliates, as well as the immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) and household members of such employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, and representatives are not eligible to enter this Promotion or win the prize.

4. How to Enter. To enter, visit http://purebondplywood.com/, select a recently purchased PureBond® Hardwood Plywood product, select the product review tab for that product, and complete a product review for that product. You must follow the product review directions and provide the required information (such as, but not limited to, your name and email address). Then, you must select the button indicating that you wish to enter the Promotion. If you provided all required information, if your review complies with the Terms of Use for submission of product reviews (located at the review submission page), and if Sponsor deems that all submission requirements have been met, you will then be entered for a chance to win the prize. Participants may only enter the Promotion once. While you may submit more than one product review during the Promotion Period, you may only enter the Promotion one time, regardless of the number of product reviews you submit.

Alternative method of entry: While we encourage submission of product reviews, you do not have to submit a review to enter, and submitting a review will not increase your chance of winning. If you do not submit a product review, you may request that Sponsor mail you an entry form by contacting Sponsor at information@columbiaforestproducts.com or at the address in Section 1 above (addressed to Attn: CFP SawStop Giveaway Entry Form), and you may then enter the Promotion by mailing the completed entry form to Sponsor at the address in Section 1. If you provided all required information and Sponsor deems that all submission requirements have been met, you will then be entered for a chance to win the prize, provided that the entry form must be received during the Promotion Period.

The Promotion is limited to one entry per person, per household, during the Promotion Period.

Entries received from any person or household in excess of the stated limitation will be void. Any attempt by a participant to enter the Promotion more than once by using multiple/different identities or any other method might disqualify that participant from the Promotion entirely. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and might result in disqualification. Sponsor has no obligation to notify the participant of the disqualified entry.

In the event of a dispute as to the person associated with any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address (or the owner or renter of the home at the mailing address) used to register will be deemed the participant. With respect to email addresses, the “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. The potential winner might be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder (or proof of being the owner or renter of the home at the mailing address).

Only completed entry forms received by the end of the Promotion Period will be eligible for the prize. Sponsor will not verify receipt of entries, and proof of submission will not be deemed proof of receipt by Sponsor. Entry materials are automatically null and void if not obtained through the authorized channels or if any part is late, lost, stolen, incomplete, illegible or unintelligible, invalid, damaged, misdirected, or contains typographical or other errors, and Sponsor is not responsible or liable in any way for such entries or errors. Sponsor has no obligation to notify the participant of the disqualified entry. 

Unless required by law, Sponsor is not required to review or respond to any correspondence received from an entrant regarding the Promotion. All entries become the property of Sponsor.

5.  Winner Selection and Notification.

a. Winner Selection. One entry will be selected via a random drawing on or about October 13th, 2017.

b. Winner Notification and Response Requirements. Receiving the prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules and the Terms of Use for submission of product reviews, if applicable. The potential winner will be notified by email (for mail-in entries, if the potential winner does not provide an email address, the potential winner will be notified via regular mail). Once the potential winner is contacted by Sponsor, he or she will have five (5) calendar days from the day Sponsor sends the notification, to respond and claim the prize. If Sponsor notifies the potential winner via mail instead of email, the potential winner will have eight (8) calendar days from the day Sponsor delivers the notification to the U.S. Postal Service or other common carrier of Sponsor’s choosing, to respond and claim the prize. If the potential winner does not respond within the timeframe outlined above, or if the prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the prize will be forfeited without notice to the potential winner, and the prize might, in Sponsor’s discretion, be given to an alternate winner, selected via random drawing from all eligible entries received during Promotion Period.

Prize award is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules and the Terms of Use for submission of product reviews, if applicable. Sponsor might, in its discretion, require that the potential winner complete and return to Sponsor an affidavit of eligibility and release and/or other documentation in order to receive the prize. If such documents are not returned within the timeframe set forth in the paragraph above after prize award notification, the prize will be forfeited without notice to the potential winner, and the prize might, in Sponsor’s discretion, be given to an alternate winner, selected via random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. 

REPLYING TO THE PRIZE NOTIFICATION WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THE POTENTIAL WINNER THE ACTUAL PRIZE WINNER. THE POTENTIAL WINNER MUST MEET ALL ELIGIBLY REQUIREMENTS AND OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH THESE OFFICIAL RULES. 

The winner might, in Sponsor’s discretion, be announced on Sponsor’s websites (http://purebondplywood.com/ and http://www.columbiaforestproducts.com/), various social media platforms, and/or in other marketing materials, though this is not how the potential winner will be notified of the prize. As such, each entrant agrees to be subject to the terms of service and privacy statements of each social media platform through which Sponsor might announce the winner.

6.  Odds of Winning. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.

7.  Prize and Prize Value. One SawStop Industrial Saw will be given away to the prize winner. There will be only one prize winner and one prize. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prize is USD 5397. 

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service requires a Form 1099 MISC to be issued to and filed by any prize winner if the value of the prize received is USD 600 or more. Sponsor will issue a Form 1099 MISC to the prize winner for the ARV of the prize won, and the prize winner is solely responsible for filing this completed form with the Internal Revenue Service.

All applicable federal, state, and local taxes associated with acceptance and use of the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. All expenses and items not specifically mentioned in these Official Rules are not included and are the winner’s sole responsibility.

The value of the prize set forth above represents Sponsor’s good faith determination of the ARV thereof and cannot be challenged or appealed. Actual/appraised value may differ at time of prize award. In the event the ARV of the prize awarded is more than the actual retail value of the prize, the difference will not be awarded in cash or otherwise.

The prize may not be exchanged by the winner for cash or otherwise, and the prize is non-refundable. No transfer, substitution, or assignment of the prize by the winner is permitted. The prize is subject to availability and substitution by Sponsor, in whole or in part, with a prize of equal or greater retail value if the prize is unavailable or cannot be awarded for any reason, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee in whole or in part, express or implied, in fact or in law, in relation to the prize and/or the use of the prize. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Sponsor expressly disclaims any and all representations, warranties, and guarantees regarding the prize, including without limitation, those regarding the appearance, safety, quality, performance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and/or suitability for use of the prize, and/or non-infringement of third party rights and/or title. Sponsor expressly disclaims any and all responsibility and liability for injury, death, and/or loss to any person or property relating to the delivery, possession, use, and/or misuse of the prize. Any maintenance or warranties shall be limited solely to those provided by the manufacturer of the prize, if any, and acceptance of the prize constitutes the winner’s release of Sponsor for maintenance and/or repair of the prize. Additional restrictions, conditions, disclaimers, and limitations regarding the prize may apply and will accompany the prize. Sponsor will coordinate prize pick-up or delivery with the winner directly. If Sponsor (or SawStop) delivers the prize via mail, the prize will be deemed delivered to the winner once the prize is delivered by Sponsor (or SawStop) to the U.S. Postal Service or other common carrier of Sponsor’s (or SawStop’s) choosing. Neither Sponsor nor SawStop will be responsible or liable for a lost, stolen, or damaged prize once mailed by Sponsor (or SawStop) to the address provided by the winner or once delivered to the U.S. Postal Service or other common carrier, or for any loss or damages relating to delivery, use, or misuse of the prize. The winner may be responsible for the cost of travel to claim the prize. By participating, the winner waives the right to claim as a cost of winning the prize, the cost of travel required to claim or use the prize. 

All details of the prize not set forth in these Official Rules are at the sole discretion of Sponsor.

8. Publicity Release. Unless prohibited by law, acceptance of the prize by the winner shall constitute and signify the winner’s agreement and consent that Sponsor, and third parties on Sponsor’s behalf, may use the winner’s name, city and state of residence, biographical data, voice, statements, image, likeness, and/or prize won (collectively the winner’s “Name and Likeness”) for marketing and promotional purposes and for any other business purpose, in any media, now known or hereafter developed, throughout the world, including on the Internet, without providing additional notice, consent, review opportunity, or consideration to the winner and without restriction as to the frequency of use.
