6. Prizes: One winner of the Sweepstakes will receive $500 in Raise Rewards, which Rewards are subject to the terms of Raise Rewards, which can be found at https://www.raise.com/raise-rewards-terms.

7. Promotional Reward Programs Terms Limitations: Sponsor also offers a variety of promotional Raise Reward Programs, whereby Sponsor will provide or offer certain person(s) Raise Rewards in conjunction with various promotional events, programs and initiatives. These promotional Raise Rewards Programs will often identify a time limitation for redeeming any Raise Rewards redemption codes associated with a particular promotional Raise Rewards Program, after which any such Raise Rewards will no longer be redeemable or valid for redemption on the Site.

Raise may identify additional terms and conditions for any Promotional Raise Rewards Program that may (i) limit who can use or redeem a particular promotional Raise Reward, including if it is for new members only, (ii) limit when a particular promotional Raise Reward can be used, (iii) limit what a promotional Raise Reward can be used to purchase, (iv) limit how many promotional Raise Rewards are available to be redeemed in a particular Rewards Program, (v) limit the combination of any particular Promotional Raise Rewards with other Promotional Raise Rewards or Referral Rewards and (vi) provide other particular terms and conditions specifically related to that Promotional Raise Rewards Program. If any of these terms are not being complied with by any member of Raise, then Raise reserves the right to not honor the redemption of any such member’s Promotional Raise Rewards.

Furthermore, Raise reserves the right to limit the number of promotional Raise Rewards offered under any Raise Rewards Program at any time, including the right to terminate any Raise Rewards Program in its sole discretion. Raise, in its sole discretion, may at any time change minimum spend thresholds for taking advantage of any particular Promotional Raise Rewards. This change will be reflected at the time of checkout for the Member. Furthermore, Raise can refuse redemption of certain Raise Rewards promotional codes, to the extent such codes have been promoted by a source not authorized by Raise or contemplated for that particular Raise Reward Program or Promotional Raise Reward code. Again, to the extent any Promotional Raise Reward Program is limited to new members or single use, Raise may not honor any Promotional Raise Rewards they believe to be in violation of this term or limitation, including if Raise determines you have more than one Member Account on Raise.

8. Redemption of Rewards:

Raise Rewards are redeemable toward purchases of gift card products solely on the Site, and you can redeem them during the checkout process. All redemptions are final. To redeem your Raise Rewards, simply add items to your shopping cart and click the “Checkout” button (if you’re not already signed in, the next screen will prompt you to sign in to your account). Continue through the checkout process. When you get to the Shopping Cart section, you’ll see your total number of Raise Rewards available to redeem. Raise Rewards will be applied toward your order and the dollar value will be deducted from your order total. Raise Rewards are applied in full. However for each order total that is equal to or less than the amount of available rewards, you will be charged a $1 fee. If your order total is more than the amount of available Raise Rewards, no fee will be charged. You cannot redeem Raise Rewards for more than the total amount of your purchase. Members may apply all or none of their Raise Rewards to an order, provided that Member pays the remaining order balance with their chosen form of payment. There may be limitation as to whether certain Referral and Promotional Raise Rewards may be redeemed in combination with other Referral and Promotional Raise Reward codes.

9. Program Rewards Expiration: Raise Rewards will expire six (6) months from the date they were either (i) first earned under a particular Program or (ii) activated by a Member in conjunction with a particular Raise Rewards Program. If a Member does not redeem Raise Rewards within this timeframe, a Member forfeits all such Raise Rewards and the Raise Rewards will cease to exist in the Member’s account. Your "My Rewards" page on the Site lists your Raise Rewards history, which displays the dates your Raise Rewards were earned or activated and when those particular Raise Rewards will lapse and cease to be valid Raise Rewards in your Raise account. Additional information regarding Raise Rewards can be found at https://www.raise.com/raise-rewards-terms.

10. Odds: The odds of winning the Sweepstakes Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received in this Sweepstakes and will be held to the discretion of the Sponsor.

11. Winner selection and notification: Winners of the Sweepstakes will be selected in a random drawing under the supervision and discretion of the Sponsor. Winners will be notified via email to the email address they used to log into their Raise account within five (5) business days following the winner selection. The Sponsor shall have no liability for a winner's failure to receive notices due to winners' spam, junk e-mail or other security settings or for winners' provision of incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information. If the selected winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim the prize within 15 days from the time award notification was sent, or fails to timely return a completed and executed declaration and releases as required, prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner selected.

The receipt by winner of the prize offered in this Sweepstakes is conditioned upon compliance with any and all federal and state laws and regulations.
