Favorite Baking Memory Giveaway
Official Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT
INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
1. Eligibility: Favorite Baking Memory Giveaway (the “Sweepstakes”) 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. Employees of Federated Media Publishing, Inc.
(“Sponsor”), Hosting Websites (defined below), ePrize, Inc., and their parent and affiliate
companies as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and
household members of each such employee are not eligible. The Sweepstakes is subject
to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited.
Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules
and Sponsor’s and Administrator’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters
related to the Sweepstakes. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set
forth herein.
2. Sponsor: Federated Media Publishing, Inc., 72 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA
94107. Administrator: ePrize, LLC, One ePrize Drive, Pleasant Ridge, MI 48069.
3. Timing: The Sweepstakes begins on September 24, 2012 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time
(“ET”), and ends on October 8, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Promotion Period”). The
computer of each Hosting Website is the official time-keeping device for the Sweepstakes.
4. How to Enter: During the Promotion Period, visit www.bakerella.com or
www.averiecooks.com (each a “Hosting Website”). Post a comment in response to the
Host’s post about your favorite baking memory. By submitting your comment, you will
automatically receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. Posts may not be indecent,
obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, or libelous or contain material that violates or
infringes another’s rights, or disparage Sponsor, Administrator or Host or any other person
or party affiliated with the Sweepstakes, or contain material that is unlawful in any way.
Sponsor and Hosts (defined below) reserve the right to remove any posts that they find
unlawful, or in violation of these Official Rules, all in their sole discretion. Limit: You may
submit one (1) comment per Hosting Website during the Promotion Period.
Share this promotion with your friends through Twitter or Pinterest to receive up to two (2)
extra entries: After you have submitted your comment, Tweet the promotion to your friends
or Pin the applicable Blog Post on a food related Pinterest Board. Post the weblink of your
Tweet or Pinterest Board on the Hosting Website and you will automatically receive one
(1) additional entry. You may receive one (1) entry for your Tweet and one (1) entry for
sharing through Pinterest.
Limit: You may receive a total of three (3) entries per Hosting Website during the Promotion
Period. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt
by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different
email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that
entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to
participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as
to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register
will be deemed to be the entrant. 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 address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an
authorized account holder.
5. Drawings: The designated overseer of each Hosting Website (“Host”), determined
by Sponsor in its sole discretion, is an independent judging entity whose decisions as to
the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential
winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Each Host will
randomly select a potential Sweepstakes winner from all eligible entries received on at
the applicable Hosting Website, on or around October 10, 2012. Potential winners may be
notified by Host and will be notified by Administrator. Each potential winner, (or parent/
legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to sign
and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (except where such
Publicity releases are prohibited) which must be received by Administrator, within seven
(7) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a
potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the Declaration
of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release within the required time period, the potential
winner forfeits his/her prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these
Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, the
applicable Host in conjunction with the Sponsor will select an alternate winner by random
drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will
be held, after which the applicable prize will remain unawarded. Prizes will be fulfilled
approximately 8-10 weeks after all winners are confirmed.
6. Prizes: TWO (2) GRAND PRIZES (One (1) per Host): A Kitchen Aid Mixer (valued at
approximately $650) and a $200 William Sonoma gift card (terms and conditions apply).
Approximate Retail Value: $850.
All features of the Kitchen Aid Mixer will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. The
actual value of electronic prizes is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace
based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for
purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. Prizes
are non-transferable and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the
Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the prize for one of equal
or greater value if the designated prize should become unavailable for any reason. Winners
are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt and/or use. Odds of
winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received at each Hosting Website.
Limit: One (1) prize per person.
7. Release: By receipt of any prize, winners agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor,
Host, Administrator, Twitter, Inc., Pinterest, Inc., and their respective subsidiaries,
affiliates, suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies, and prize suppliers, and
each of their respective parent companies and each such company’s officers, directors,
employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any claim or
cause of action, including, but not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of
property, arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any
prize.
8. Publicity: Except where prohibited, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes each
winner’s consent to Sponsor’s, Gap’s and its agents’ use of winner’s name, likeness,
photograph, voice, opinions and/or hometown and state for promotional purposes in any
media, worldwide, without further payment or consideration.
9. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the
Sweepstakes, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond
Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes,
as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. 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 Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or
any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any
person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a
violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves
the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of
that provision.
10. Limitations of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any
incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or by
any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (2)
technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions,
or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized
human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Sweepstakes; (4) technical or
human error which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing
of entries; (5) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail; or (6) any injury or
damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in
part, from entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any
prize. If for any reason an entrant’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted,
lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the
Sweepstakes, if it is possible. If the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, is discontinued for any
reason, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among
all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes
offered herein. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event
that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the
stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed,
Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing
among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.
11. Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes,
claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes or any
prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action,
and exclusively by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
(Southern Division) or the appropriate Michigan State Court located in Oakland County,
Michigan; (2) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-
pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Sweepstakes, but in no
event attorneys’ fees; and (3) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain
awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect, punitive, incidental
and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket
expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. All
issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability
of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in
connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
rules (whether of the State of Michigan or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan.
12. Entrant’s Personal Information: Information collected from entrants is subject to
Administrator’s Privacy Policy (http://www.eprize.com/privacy-policy), Sponsor’s Privacy
Policy and (http://www.federatedmedia.net/privacy-policy/).
13. Winner List: For a winner list, visit http://bit.ly/P8tBRJ. The winner list will be posted
