NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

These contest rules (the “Contest Rules”) apply to contests administered by Black Iron Energy, its website, and its related social media websites unless otherwise stated (each, a “Contest”). 

1. Eligibility

Contests are open only to legal residents of Alberta who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. Employees of Black Iron Energy (“Sponsor”), and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, distributors, and immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) and/or those living in the same household of each such employee are not eligible to participate. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law.

The Sponsors shall have the right at any time to require proof of identity and/or eligibility to participate in the Contests. Failure to provide such proof may result in disqualification. All personal and other information requested by and supplied to the Sponsors for the purpose of the Contests must be truthful, complete, accurate and in no way misleading. The Sponsors reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant should such an entrant at any stage supply untruthful, incomplete, inaccurate or misleading personal details and/or information.

2. Sponsor

The Contest is sponsored by Black Iron Energy, located at 6420 6a St SE #210, Calgary, AB T2H 2B7 (“Sponsor”).

3. Agreement to Official Rules

Participation in this Contest constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

4. How to Enter

You can enter any Contest by completing certain skill activities or answering certain questions listed for the particular Contest on the Description Page. For contests run on social media platforms, entrants will be required to log into your own Social Media Account (as defined below) and execute the task as instructed by the Contest Sponsors. Failure to follow the instructions may result in disqualification, to be determined at Contest Sponsors’ sole discretion. Social media entries must also comply with the social media platform’s own terms of use.

Each Contest entry period (each a “Contest Period”) shall start and end as announced in the contest description.

Entries received online shall be deemed to be submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address or social media account associated with the entry, as applicable. For the purposes of these Contest Rules, “authorized account holder” of an e-mail address of social media account (Facebook or Instagram) is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address or social media account by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, Facebook, Instagram or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses, Facebook or Instagram accounts for the domain or account associated with the submitted e-mail address, Facebook or Instagram account. Each selected entrant may be required to provide Black Iron with proof that the selected entrant is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address, Facebook or Instagram account associated with the winning entry.

5. Entry Limitations

Unless otherwise specified in the Description for a particular Contest, only one (1) entry per person is permitted during the Contest Period. Multiple entries beyond those permitted under the Contest Rules or the Supplemental Rules will be discarded. Entries are subject to verification and will be declared invalid if they are found to be reproduced, falsified or tampered with. Contest entrants can only use one social media account (“Social Media Account” and collectively, “Social Media Accounts”) to enter any Contest. If the Contest Sponsors discover that any entrant has attempted to: (i) use more than one (1) Social Media Accounts during the Contest Period to enter the Contest; and/or (ii) use multiple names or identities to enter the Contest; then in the sole and absolute discretion of the Contest Sponsors he/she may be disqualified from the Contest. Use or attempted use of any automated, script, robotic or other systems to enter or disrupt this Contest is prohibited and is grounds for disqualification.

6. Odds of Winning

Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period.

7. Prizes and Prize Descriptions

A general description of the Contest prize will be specified in the Description of a particular contest. The approximate retail value of a prize may be from retail value between one Canadian dollar (CDN $1.00) and one thousand Canadian dollars (CDN $1,000.00) (or as otherwise provided), depending on the Contest. Contest Sponsors are not responsible for administering or ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions relating to prizes comprised of third-party gift cards or tickets, or other similar items that may contain additional terms and conditions. Winner(s) shall not be entitled to receive the difference between the actual prize value and the approximate prize value.

Prize(s) must be accepted as awarded and cannot be transferred, assigned, substituted or redeemed for cash, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsors. Any unused portion of a prize will be forfeited and have no cash value. The Sponsors reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if a prize (or any portion thereof) cannot be awarded for any reason.

Winner(s) will be solely responsible for any expense not explicitly included in the prize.

8. Winner Selection

The number and selection of entrants eligible for prizes will be defined in the Supplemental Rules. The Contest Sponsors may contact selected prize winners through Social Media Account direct messages (“DM”). Such prize winners will then be required to reply to the DM to provide contact information (including, without limitation, full name, email address, mailing address and phone number) for prize fulfillment purposes.

The potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Following the end of the applicable Contest Period, the Sponsor will select one (1) entrant (or more, if applicable, based on the number of prizes available to be won) by a random draw from all eligible entries received during the Contest Period, unless otherwise indicated. Each entrant shall be eligible to win only one (1) prize.

Before being declared a winner, the selected entrant(s) shall be required to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered during a pre-arranged telephone call, direct message or by e-mail, to comply with these Contest Rules and may be required to sign and return the Release (described below).

If the selected entrant does not respond within the prescribed timeline set out in the notification, he/she will be disqualified and will not receive a prize and another entrant may be selected (as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion) until such time as an entrant satisfies the terms set out herein. The Sponsor is not responsible for the failure for any reason whatsoever of a selected entrant to receive notification or for the Sponsors to receive a selected entrant’s response.

9. Winner Notification

The potential winner will be notified by direct message after the contest period has ended. If the selected entrant does not respond within the prescribed timeline set out in the notification, he/she will be disqualified and will not receive a prize and another entrant may be selected (as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion) until such time as an entrant satisfies the terms set out herein. The Sponsor is not responsible for the failure for any reason whatsoever of a selected entrant to receive notification or for the Sponsors to receive a selected entrant’s response.

The Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Contest, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, or any other factor beyond the Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Contest, as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.
