1. Additional Entry Requirements, Restrictions and Information

Entrants That Have Not Reached Age of Majority. Any entrant who is older than the required age to enter the Promotion but has not yet reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which he/she resides will need to obtain permission from his/her parent/legal guardian in order to enter and if chosen as a winner, the applicable prize will be awarded in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian.

Ineligible Participants. Employees, officers, and directors of Fourth Ray Beauty or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective representatives, consultants, contractors, legal counsel, advertising, public relations, promotional, fulfillment, and marketing agents or agencies, website providers, web masters involved in the creation, design, execution, production, or fulfillment of the Promotion, and members of their immediate families (spouses, parents, siblings and children, regardless of where they live) and those living in the same household are not eligible to enter or win.

Social Media Platform Entries. If the Promotion is being run on a social media platform, each entrant must be a member of the applicable social media platform and his or her account must be set to the “public” setting in order to participate; joining the applicable social media platform used in the Promotion is free – please visit the applicable social media platform’s website for more information on how to join. Upon completing an entry, each entrant will automatically be entered with one (1) entry into the Promotion. If an entrant deletes his or her entry before the end of the Entry Period, that entrant will no longer be entered into the Promotion and must complete another entry before the end of the Entry Period to be re-entered into the Promotion.

Limit of Entries. The limit of entries is set forth in the Official Rules. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address or social media platform account. Any attempt by any person to obtain more than the stated number of plays and/or entries by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, registrations, email addresses, logins, or any other methods will void that person’s plays and/or entries, and that person may be disqualified at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.

Additional Restrictions and Information. Each entrant must provide all required information and follow all entry rules to be eligible to enter and win. Entries that do not include the required components will not be eligible and will be disqualified. Bulk, automated and/or third-party entries are prohibited and will be disqualified. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules and General Terms may be disqualified from the Promotion at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Normal Internet access, phone, and usage charges imposed by an entrant’s online or phone service may apply.

2. Winning

Chances of Winning. For sweepstakes, the odds of winning are based on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. For contests, the odds of winning depend on how your entry compares to the other entries in light of the judging criteria and the other rules of that particular contest.

Number of Winners. In no event will there be more than the stated number of winners (total and by class (e.g., grand prize, runner-up, regular, etc.)) in the Promotion.

Notification of Winning. The potential winner(s) will be notified on the platform they submitted their entry on via comment or direct message.

Alternate Winners. If the potential winner(s) cannot be contacted after 24 hours after the first attempt to contact him/her, or if a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner, which will be selected in accordance with the specific selection procedures outlined in the Official Rules. For sweepstakes, unless otherwise agreed to by Fourth Ray Beauty, in its sole discretion, only two (2) alternate drawings will be held if a potential winner is disqualified for any reason or cannot be contacted, after which that prize will remain un-awarded.

Verification. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein and an entrant is not a winner of any prize unless and until that entrant’s eligibility has been verified and that entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Fourth Ray Beauty reserves the right to verify the eligibility of winners, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. A potential winner may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility.

Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to any winning entry, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the entry (or associated with the social media platform account associated with the entry) 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. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder to Sponsor or forfeit the prize.

3. Prizes

The approximate value of any prize or element thereof represents Fourth Ray Beauty’s good faith determination.

Each winner is solely responsible for payment of any and all applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local taxes, fees (including any import fees), and surcharges imposed on the acceptance of the applicable prize. Physical elements of a prize will be delivered to a winner, at Fourth Ray Beauty’s cost and by post or common carrier selected by Fourth Ray Beauty, to the address provided by that winner. Shipped elements of a prize will not be insured and Fourth Ray Beauty will not assume any liability for lost, damaged or misdirected prizes or elements thereof.

No substitution or exchange of any prize will be allowed, except by Fourth Ray Beauty, who reserves the right to substitute a prize, or component thereof, of equal or greater value in case of unavailability of a prize, or component thereof, or force majeure.
