Mail-in entries (as described below) must be post-marked no later than the last date of the applicable Entry Period to be considered for that Entry Period.

How to Enter:

Eligible participants may enter the Sweepstakes in one of two ways:

• Online Entries: Visit www.nixon.com (“Website”) during one or more Entry Periods described above, and follow the instructions to submit a review of any Nixon product that you have purchased or own. There is no limit to the number of products you may review, but there is a limit of one (1) review per product. Online entries must be received within an Entry Period to be considered eligible for a prize for that specific Entry Period, and no entries within a specific Entry Period will roll over into the next Entry Period. You will have an opportunity to enter the Sweepstakes once for each product review that you submit pursuant to these Rules. All product reviews must be in English and are subject to the Sponsor’s Terms of Use. You will be required to provide your name and certain other information as requested. For any review you submit in connection with the Sweepstakes, you agree to comply with all applicable federal or state laws. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to post your review or to withdraw any posted review for any reason. Entries that violate the Terms of Use or are incomplete, illegible or corrupted are void and will not be accepted. By submitting a product review, without limiting other rights granted hereunder, you grant Sponsor permission to publish the product review on the Website and any other Sponsor websites. Sponsor is not responsible for any unauthorized use of product reviews by third parties. Multiple reviews of the same product are not valid. “SPAM,” advertisements or fraudulent product reviews will not be posted and all entries from any such user will be void. If you attempt to submit product reviews with multiple email addresses, under multiple identities or using any other device or artifice to submit product reviews multiple times or subvert the entry or product review process, you will be disqualified from participation in the Sweepstakes, and all product reviews and entries submitted by that you will be void. Reviews should be truthful and whether review is positive or negative will not affect your odds of winning.
• Free Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”): If you do not want to post a product review online, you may still enter the Sweepstakes through the AMOE. To do so, legibly hand print on a plain 3” x 5” card or paper your complete name, mailing address, email address, and the statement “Nixon Write a Review Sweepstakes,” and mail postage-prepaid to: Nixon, Inc., Attn: Write a Review Sweepstakes, 2810 Whiptail Loop, Suite 101. Carlsbad, California 92010. Mailed entries must be postmarked by the last day of the applicable Entry Period to be considered for that Entry Period, and received by Sponsor no later than fourteen (14) days after the last date of that Entry Period. Limit one entry per postage-prepaid envelope and one entry per customer. Incomplete, illegible, or postage-due entries will be disqualified. Mailed entries will be considered submitted on the postmarked date if received by Sponsor within fourteen (14) days; entries received by Sponsor more than fourteen (14) days after the postmarked date will be ineligible to enter or win this Sweepstakes.

Prizes

Eight (8) total prizes, one (1) for each Entry Period, will be awarded, and consist of a $250.00 Nixon gift card (“Prize”), valid for thirty (30) days for use on nixon.com. Winners will be notified via email originally provided when entering, and will receive their Prize by email. Actual/appraised value may differ at time of Prize award. The specifics of the Prize shall be solely determined by the Sponsor. No cash or other Prize substitution is permitted except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. The Prize is nontransferable. Any and all Prize related expenses, including without limitation any and all federal, state, and/or local taxes shall be the sole responsibility of each winner. Any unclaimed Prize will be forfeited. A Prize, if legitimately claimed, will be awarded, but Sponsor is not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated or stolen Prize. If the winner does not accept or use the entire Prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the Prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that Prize or portion of the Prize. Acceptance of Prize constitutes permission for Sponsor to use winner’s name, likeness, and entry for purposes of advertising and trade without further compensation, unless prohibited by law.

Odds

The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Each eligible entry received during each Sweepstakes period has an equal chance of winning.

Winner Selection and Notification

Winners of the Sweepstakes will be selected by Sponsor in a random drawing within four (4) weeks following the conclusion of each Entry Period, and from all eligible entries submitted online or by mail for that Entry Period. Entries submitted during any given Entry Period are limited to the drawing for that Entry Period (based on the postmarked date if entry is submitted by mail) and will not be entered into any subsequent Entry Period drawing. Winners will be notified via email to the email address they entered the Sweepstakes with within five (5) days following the winner selection. Sponsor shall have no liability for a winner’s failure to receive notices due to winner’s spam, junk e-mail or other security settings or for winner’s provision of incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information. If the selected winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim the prize within fifteen (15) days from the time award notification was sent, or fails to timely return a completed and executed declaration and releases as required, prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected. The receipt by winner of the prize offered in this Sweepstakes is conditioned upon compliance with any and all federal and state laws and regulations. ANY VIOLATION OF THESE RULES BY ANY WINNER (AT SPONSOR’S SOLE DISCRETION) WILL RESULT IN SUCH WINNER’S DISQUALIFICATION AS WINNER OF THE SWEEPSTAKES AND ALL PRIVILEGES AS WINNER WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED.

Requirements of Potential Winner

Potential winners are subject to verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to this Sweepstakes. You are not a winner of any prize unless and until your eligibility has been verified and you have been notified that verification is complete. Except where prohibited, potential winners may be required to timely complete and return an affidavit of eligibility (including a declaration of compliance with these Rules), a Form W-9 (for tax reporting purposes), a comprehensive liability waiver and publicity release, and/or other documents requested by Sponsor. If a potential winner fails to sign and return these documents within the required time period, an alternate potential winner may be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of all remaining eligible entries.
