fifty (50) United States and District of Columbia who are
eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees, officers and directors of Kellogg
Company (“Sponsor”), Universal
Studios, Fandango Loyalty Solutions, LLC, participating retailers, or any of
their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, representatives,
consultants, contractors, legal counsel, website providers, web masters,
partners, advertising, promotion and other agencies (collectively,
"Promotion Entities") and their immediate family members (spouses,
parents, siblings, and children, regardless of where they live) and/or those
living in the same household of each are not eligible to participate. Sponsor reserves the right to verify the
eligibility of all winners. All federal,
state and local laws and regulations apply.
Void where prohibited or restricted by law, rule or regulation.
3.
HOW TO ENTER.
There are two (2) ways to participate in the Sweepstakes:
a) TEXT MESSAGE ENTRY: During the Promotion Period, from your wireless phone, text
the keyword “DM3” to the short code 86677
(the “Short Code”). After sending
your text message entry, you may receive one (1) or more text messages in
response to your text entry, including a message confirming your entry, and legal
disclaimers from Sponsor. You may opt-out of receiving the promotional
text messages from Sponsor at any time by sending a reply text message with the
word “STOP”. The
text messaging method of entry is designed to work with most of the U.S. major
wireless carriers in the United States, but Sponsor makes no guarantee that any
particular wireless service provider will participate, and the mobile phone
that is used must be capable of sending and receiving text messages. Check with your carrier for details. Entrants should check their phone’s features
to see if they have that capability.
Wireless service providers may charge entrants for each text message,
including any error message that is sent and received in connection with the
Sweepstakes, based on the applicable wireless service pricing plan. Message
and data rates apply. Entrants
should consult their wireless service provider’s pricing plan for details. Entry by sending a text message will not
improve your chance of winning. By texting an entry, the entrant grants
permission to the Sponsor to notify them via a return text message and must
agree to accept all applicable charges associated therewith. You are responsible for all applicable
fees and taxes associated with placing a text entry. Sponsor in its sole discretion may add or
delete a cellular carrier at any time, without notice. Proof of text messaging the Short Code is not
considered proof of delivery to or receipt by Sponsor of such Sweepstakes entry.
Text entries must be completed as noted in rule #1 in order to be entered
into the random drawing for the respective Entry Period(s).
b) MAIL-IN ENTRY: You may also
participate by hand writing on a plain 3” x 5” piece of paper, your name,
address, age, and daytime/evening phone numbers. Mail your entry in an envelope with
sufficient postage affixed to: Kellogg’s™ / Despicable Me 3
Text-to-Enter Sweepstakes, Attn: Entry, P.O. Box 7648, Kalamazoo, MI 49003-7648.
Mail-in entries must be “postmarked by” and “received by” as noted in
rule #1 in order to be entered into the random drawing for the respective Entry
Period(s).
No automated entry devices, bots and/or other
programs and/or software are permitted for entry. No mechanically reproduced, altered, forged,
or facsimile entries will be accepted. All
entries become the sole property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Promotion Entities are not responsible for
lost, late, illegible, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected,
technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for
problems of any kind, whether mechanical, human or electronic. Promotion Entities shall not be responsible
for incorrect or inaccurate entry information whether caused by any of the
equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or by
any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the entries
in the Sweepstakes. Promotion Entities
assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption,
deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of
entries. Only fully completed entries
are eligible.
If due to programming,
production or other errors, more prizes are awarded and/or claimed than
intended, the intended number of Sweepstakes prizes will be awarded in a random
drawing from all those submitting purportedly valid claims. No more than the number of prizes set forth
in these Official Rules will be awarded.
Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result
in disqualification. All potential
winning entries are subject to verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are
final and binding. A participant is not
a winner of any prize, even if a confirmation text message/email should so
indicate, unless and until said participant’s eligibility has been verified and
said participant has been notified that verification is complete. Sponsor will not accept Screen Shots or other
evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process. Any entry that occurs after the system has
failed for any reason is deemed a defective entry and is void and will not be
honored.
Limit one (1) entry per person, per Day - regardless
of method of entry. All entries in
excess of this limit will be deemed void.
Promotion Entities are not responsible for any change of mailing address
and/or telephone number of participants.
In the event of a dispute over the identity of a text entry participant
in the Sweepstakes, participation will be deemed completed by the authorized
account holder of the mobile telephone number provided at the time of
participation. “Authorized account
holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to a mobile telephone
number by an Internet access provided, online service provider, wireless
carrier, or other organization (e.g. business, educational institution, etc.)
that is responsible for assigning mobile telephone numbers. The potential winner may be required to
provide Sponsor with proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the wireless
account of the mobile telephone number associated with the winning entry. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction,
the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.
4.
RANDOM
DRAWING: Five hundred (500) potential winners (two hundred fifty (250) winners
each Entry Period) will be selected in a random drawing for the respective Entry Period on or about the drawing date
as noted in the chart in rule #1 from among all eligible entries received for
the respective Entry Period from all methods combined by Sponsor or its
designee. Subject to verification of
eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the potential winners
will be declared the official winners of the Sweepstakes. The decisions of the Sponsor are final and
binding.
5.
WINNER
NOTIFICATION: Potential prize winners will be
notified by text, email, phone and/or mail, using contact information provided
or collected at the time of entry.
Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is
lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential
winner does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification
attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or
undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his
or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt
to contact up to two (2) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the
above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it
remains unclaimed. If any potential
prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with
these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such prize
will be forfeited and an alternate prize winner may be selected.
