4. HOW THE COMPETITION WORKS.

Skills-Based Competition. The Competition is a pure skill competition, without any element of chance. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entrants and the application of the judging criteria to each Entry (as defined below).

No Purchase Necessary. No purchase is necessary in order to submit an Entry (as defined below) for the Competition.

Posting of Competition Details. During the Competition Period, the Sponsor will create posts on the “Name Our Strain Competition”. These posts will be executed on Twitter®, Facebook® and Instagram® (together the “Social Media Sites,” each a “Social Media Site“). The Competition is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, any of the Social Media Sites.

Entries. To participate in the Competition, the entrant must submit a cannabis strain name, as follows:

(i) comment on the post of the Social Media Site, with their proposed strain name (the “Work”); and

(ii) include the hashtags (#): #420 and #NameOurStrain in the comment.

(the above (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to as the “Entry” or “Entries“, as the case may be)

Any comments that are posted without the above two hashtags will not be valid Entries. Comments must remain appropriate and must not contain any profanity or any offensive language whatsoever. This includes, but is not limited to: swearing, racial slurs, slang, harassment, aggressiveness, confidentiality breaches, sexual innuendos and hatred.

Limit one Entry per person, regardless of the Social Media Site used to submit the Entry. If entrant submits more than one Entry, the first Entry received will be considered in the judging; subsequent Entries will be invalid. Incomplete, illegible, false, deceptive or garbled Entries are not eligible. Entries will not be acknowledged. Entries must be received no later than the end of the Competition Period. The Sponsor’s determination of this is final and binding on the entrants. Entries received after the end of the Competition Period will not qualify.

Entries must comply with all format and size requirements and the technical, creative, and legal requirements set forth in these rules for the Competition (the “Official Rules“). Standard data charges may apply. Entries must comply with the Official Rules, which will be found on the Sponsor’s website.

Multiple entrants may not use the same Social Media Site account for the purpose of making an Entry. A potential winner may be requested to provide the Sponsor with proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the relevant Social Media Site account associated with the winning Entry and eligible entrant.

Entrants may not enter with multiple email addresses on the Social Media Site accounts nor may entrants use any other device or artifice to enter under multiple identities. Any entrant who attempts to enter with multiple email addresses or accounts under multiple identities will be disqualified and forfeits any prize won, in Sponsor’s discretion. In the event of a conflict between the Official Rules and any of the Social Media Site’s Terms of Use, these Official Rules shall govern as between the Sponsor and the entrant.

The Entry is gratuitous and made without restriction and will not place Sponsor under any obligations.
