Who Is Eligible?
To be a qualified entrant (“Entrant”), eligible to enter, participate, and awarded a prize, you must be at least 18 years old and a legal resident in the 50 United States of America during the entire Giveaway Period. No employee, director, officer, owner of the Sponsor, nor any of their subsidiaries, affiliates, contractors, agents, or members of their immediate families or individuals living in the same household (individually and/or collectively, the “Sponsor Entities”) are eligible. You may only enter once, and the Entrant will be deemed to be the natural person associated with the social media account they used to enter.
How Do You Enter?
There are two ways to enter:
How Is the Winner Selected?
After January 22, 2024, the Sponsor or the Sponsor's designated representative will choose six (6) winners (the “Winner,” “Winners”) from among the eligible entries into the Giveaway. Entries generated by a script, macro or other automated means are prohibited and will be automatically disqualified. Decisions are final in all matters relating to this Giveaway. The Winners will be notified by social media direct message (“DM”) for further instructions.
If, for any reason, any potential Winner who is awarded a prize is unable or unwilling to accept the prize, does not respond within two (2) days after our first attempt to contact the Entrant (using their Instagram or Facebook username or profile, or email) or is disqualified or considered ineligible as an Entrant, that potential Winner will forfeit any and all rights under these Official Rules, including, without limitation, any right to receive a prize, and a new potential Winner for that prize will be drawn from the remaining pool of eligible Entrants. If no potential Winner has responded by February 1, 2024, no further potential Winners will be contacted and the prize will be forfeited.
What Is the Prize?
Six (6) qualified Entrants will win a Hot Cinnamon Spice Day & Night Gift Set and a $25 Harney & Sons gift card. Once the Winners are selected and have accepted, a representative of the Sponsor will contact the Winners on the social media platform where they entered or via the email address they submitted on the entry form and exchange contact information (shipping address) to receive their prizes.
The total prize value is equal to approximately $60.00.
