By entering any contest or giveaway contestants agree to be bound by the rules, conditions, and regulations published herein entirely. CGI reserves the right to amend these “Rules” at any time for any reason and to post such amendments accordingly.

All Entries for Contests and Giveaways must be made online using the official entry forms provided within each contest posting on the official web page as designated by CGI.

All entries for any contest become the property of CGI and cannot be “returned.” CGI maintains a Privacy Policy which may be viewed at our “Policies” section on any of our websites for your assurance.

Choice Group cannot be responsible for any technical failure of incoming or outgoing telephone, fax, or email transmissions or communications, especially contest entries or acknowledgements. CGI is committed to adherence to the most stringent privacy and security policies and technological functionalities, but cannot guarantee perfection. Entrants are cautioned to not enter any one contest more than once, as multiple entries will disqualify not only those specific entries, but will automatically disqualify any subsequent entry you make for at least 6 months, and possibly indefinitely. This fraud prevention feature will is unchangeable, and cannot be alleviated.

Choice Group International reserves the right to terminate any Contest without prior notice, effective upon announcement or posting.

All Contests and Giveaways are subject to and conducted in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.

All federal, state, or other taxes arising from these contests are the winner’s responsibility and will not be excused, credited, or paid by Choice Group International or any of its divisions or enterprises.

The odds of winning are dependant on the number of entrants in each specific contest submitted during term of contest. No purchase is necessary, and will not increase odds of winning. Only one entry per contest is allowed. Only one (1) winning entry per person per year (365 days) is allowed for any and all contests conducted by CGI or any division or enterprise.

Acceptance of winning status or prize constitutes consent to use winner’s name, likeness, image, photograph, video, and recordings for promotional or publicity purposes without compensation, and is typically required as proof of Prize Award. Winner may be required to sign affidavit of eligibility and release, and if asked, you agree to do so and return any documents within 15 days to CGI or an alternate winner may be chosen at the sole discretion of CGI.

Prizes will be awarded as stated in each contest description, which are deemed accurate at time of posting.

Winner must comply in full completion of any applicable Federal or State forms (i.e. IRS 8300). Any winner refusing any part of these conditions will automatically forfeit prize without appeal, and may be subject to review by appropriate Authority.

The prize (or any portion thereof) is non-transferable, and may not be redeemed in any manner for cash, credit, or trade for other goods. Substitutions only made according to stipulations herein, not at winner’s request.

Choice Group is not responsible for any expiration or restrictions put on prizes or contests by sponsor (if any), and reserves the right to make substitution should listed prize no longer be available when awarded in comparable merchandise with at least the same or greater value. Should such unavailability or discontinued participation by vendor occur during the term of contest, Choice Group will make reasonable attempt to correct prize listings or in the event of awarding, contact winner to provide alternative options.

Prizes will be awarded and are not subject to choice or preference of winner, and cannot be “in lieu of.”

Payee acknowledges possible delay of prize delivery due to processing of payment instruments. If paying by credit card, winner must comply with current processing guidelines of Choice Group to maintain security and fraud prevention. No exceptions can be made.

Representative, or substitute delivery of prizes is prohibited.

Entrants agree to and affirm Choice Group as the final Authority to conduct all contests and giveaways according to CGI policy and uphold all CGI decisions.
