OFFICIAL RULES

SWEEPSTAKE:

TAJÍN adds spice to your pocket sweepstakes.

No purchase necessary to enter or win. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

Sweepstakes may only be entered in or from the 50 United States and the District of Columbia and entries from any other jurisdiction are not eligible for entry.  This sweepstakes is governed exclusively by the laws of the United States.

DATES:

Participation for the weekly drawings will begin at 12:01am am Eastern Standard Time (EST) on August 2, 2011 and end at 11:59pm pm EST on October 28, 2011 (the “Sweepstakes Period”).

HOW TO ENTER:

During the Sweepstakes Period, go to  TAJÍN International Corp. (“Sponsor”) website at www.TAJIN.com (the “Website”) and register to participate by entering your name, e-mail address and zip code in the online entry form.  All participants must have a valid e-mail address.  You may only register once for a chance to win. Any additional entries by the same name and/or mailing address will be eliminated.  No automated entry devices and/or programs permitted.  All entries become the sole and exclusive property of Sponsor and receipt of entries will not be acknowledged or returned.  Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind, whether mechanical, human or electronic.  Only fully-completed entry forms are eligible.  Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor.

WINNER SELECTION:

One (1) winner will be selected weekly starting on or about August 29, 2011 and continuing on the Monday of each week by random drawing from among all eligible entries received until the end of the Sweepstakes Period. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received by the date of each drawing.  By entering the Sweepstakes, participants fully and unconditionally agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which will be final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. 

Winners will be notified by email, to the e-mail address provided at time of registration and will be required to sign and return, where legal, a liability/publicity release that documents eligibility within seventy-two (72) hours from time of notification in order to receive prize. If any winner is considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, release must be signed by his/her parent or legal guardian and prize will be awarded in the name of and delivered to minor’s parent/legal guardian.  If any winner cannot be contacted within five (5) calendar days of first notification attempt, if any prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, if any winner rejects his/her prize or in the event of noncompliance with these Official Rules, such winner forfeits the prize and a second drawing will be conducted following forfeiture to select an alternate winner from all remaining eligible entries.  Upon prize forfeiture, no compensation will be given.  The following dates are when the drawings will occur.

  • August 29th – 31st

  • September 5th – 7th

  • September 12th – 14th

  • September 19th – 21st

Only one (1) prize will be awarded per person/household.  Winners who receive a prize will be removed from subsequent drawings but registration information will continue to be valid for all privileges and benefits of membership on the Website and future promotions.
