CONTEST RULES

To provide fair and equal chance of winning any Recommended-sponsored contest or sweepstakes on our site or in our emails, we provide these official rules. Please review these rules before entering any Recommended contest or sweepstakes. Where there is a discrepancy between the official rules below and any contest or sweepstakes details provided with a specific contest or sweepstakes, the specific contest or sweepstakes rules apply. If you have questions or would like to request a winner list for a current or past contest, write to Recommended at the following address: Smith.ai, Inc., 425 Sherman Avenue, #200, Palo Alto, California, 94306. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE OR WIN. PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. All winners must be 21 years of age or older, unless otherwise stated and/or posted. All winners must be legal residents of one of the 50 U.S. states or the District of Columbia at the date of contest entry.

GENERAL RULES:

How to participate in a contest or sweepstakes: Winners of contests will be chosen at random from emails received at the contest or sweepstakes email address provided in the contest or sweepstakes. Only one entry per email address used to send the email will be considered for contest or sweepstakes entry, unless multiple entries are specifically allowed in the contest or sweepstakes description. Unless otherwise specified in an individual contest or sweepstakes description, no person may enter any contest more than once using multiple email addresses. Contest or sweepstakes entrants must send entries using the correct contest or sweepstakes entry email address, subject line, and any other specific entry information requested in the contest or sweepstakes description. Recommended is not responsible for and will not consider as potential contest or sweepstakes winners any incomplete or incorrect entries. Emails sent but not received by Recommended (for any reason) are also not eligible to win.



To enter a contest or sweepstakes off-line (i.e., not through the contest or sweepstakes page online), mail a letter with full name, email address, U.S. primary residential address, and phone number to Smith.ai, Inc., 425 Sherman Avenue, #200, Palo Alto, California, 94306. Write “Event Sweepstakes Entry” at the top of your letter. How we choose winners: Winners are chosen at random from all entries received by the contest or sweepstakes closing date specified in the contest or sweepstakes description. All closing dates and times are described in Pacific Standard Time (PST) unless otherwise noted in the contest or sweepstakes description. How we contact winners: Recommended will email all winners of contests or sweepstakes a winner notification email to the email address used to enter the contest, and the person receiving and replying to the winner notification email will be considered the winner. The winner cannot specify another person as the winner on their behalf. Recommended will mail or electronically transfer the contest prize to the address or email address supplied by the recipient of the winner announcement email, depending on the nature of the prize. The winner must claim the prize by email response to the winner notification email within 5 days of the date Recommended sent the winner notification email. Failure to respond within five (5) days shall mean that the winner forfeits the prize, and another winner will be selected with the same five (5)-day deadline. Recommended is not required to award elsewhere any prizes forfeited by the chosen winner(s). Winners are solely responsible for all taxes and/or fees that may be incurred. All cash winners are required to verify proper and legal picture identification and Social Security number within 5 days of notification of winning the cash prize. Winner may forfeit any and all cash winnings if verification cannot or has not been made within 5 days. Upon proper verification, cash winnings will be awarded by check, and mailed to winner's mailing address within seven (7) business days. For prizes valued at $600 or more, the prizewinner must supply Recommended with his/her legal name, mailing address, birth date, direct telephone number, social security number, and completed IRS Form W-9. Winners may not request substitutions of prize winnings. All winners are solely responsible for any and all taxes and/or fees, and all such additional costs that may be incurred. Neither Recommended, Recommended sponsors, nor employees or contractors of Recommended or individual sponsors may be held liable for any warranty, costs, damage, injury, or any other claims incurred as a result of usage of any winners of a prize once winner has taken possession of the product. Recommended is not liable for any loss arising out of or in connection with or resulting from any contest promoted by Recommended. If the specified prize becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, Recommended may substitute a prize of like or equal value. Management, employees, contractors and families of Recommended are prohibited from winning any prizes awarded by Recommended. Recommended reserves the right to alter any rules of any contest at anytime. If you have any questions or complaints about a Recommended contest or sweepstakes, please contact us at Smith.ai, Inc., 425 Sherman Avenue, #200, Palo Alto, California, 94306.
