Terms of Service

1. Platform Description

SweepsMarket is a technology platform and online marketplace that connects businesses ("Sponsors") with consumers ("Users" or "Entrants"). SweepsMarket provides the technological infrastructure, marketing tools, and audience for Sponsors to conduct promotional giveaways and sell products. It is critical that you understand the following:

• SweepsMarket is NOT a sponsor, operator, or administrator of any giveaway. Each giveaway listed on the platform is independently sponsored, funded, and administered by the business identified on the giveaway listing page.
• SweepsMarket does NOT select winners. All winner selection is conducted by a licensed, independent third-party sweepstakes administration company retained by the Sponsor.
• SweepsMarket does NOT fulfill prizes. Prize sourcing, procurement, delivery, title transfer (for vehicles), and all aspects of prize fulfillment are the sole responsibility of the Sponsor.
• SweepsMarket does NOT guarantee any outcome. We make no representations or warranties regarding the quality, condition, value, or availability of any prize, product, or giveaway listed on the platform.
• SweepsMarket is a facilitator and marketplace only. Our role is limited to providing the technology platform through which Sponsors can reach consumers, and through which consumers can discover and participate in giveaways and purchase products.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, entering a giveaway, purchasing a product, subscribing to Pro membership, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and all policies incorporated by reference. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SweepsMarket. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease all use of the Service.

3. Eligibility

To use the Service and participate in giveaways, you must meet ALL of the following requirements:

• Be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater
• Be a legal resident of the United States of America (additional jurisdictions may be added in the future at SweepsMarket's discretion)
• Not be a resident of any jurisdiction where participation in promotional sweepstakes is prohibited or restricted by law
• Not be an employee, officer, director, agent, or contractor of SweepsMarket, or an immediate family member (spouse, parent, child, sibling, or household member) of any such person
• Not be prohibited from using the Service under any applicable federal, state, or local law
• Provide truthful, accurate, and complete registration information

Giveaways are VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. Individual giveaways may impose additional eligibility restrictions as specified in their Official Rules. SweepsMarket reserves the right to verify eligibility at any time through any lawful means, including but not limited to identity verification, age verification, and residency verification. Any person found to be ineligible will be disqualified, and any prizes awarded to ineligible persons must be returned.

4. Account Registration & Verification

You must create an account to participate in giveaways, make purchases, or access certain features of the Service. By creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration, including your legal name, valid email address, and phone number
• Complete email verification and phone number verification as required by the platform
• Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate and complete
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials and not share them with any third party
• Immediately notify SweepsMarket of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach
• Accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you

One Account Per Person. Each individual may maintain only one (1) SweepsMarket account. Creating, maintaining, or using multiple accounts is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate and permanent termination of all associated accounts, forfeiture of all entries and prizes, and a permanent ban from the platform. SweepsMarket employs technical measures to detect and prevent multiple account creation, including but not limited to device fingerprinting, IP address analysis, and cross-referencing of personal information.

5. Giveaway Participation

Each giveaway on the SweepsMarket platform is independently sponsored by the business identified on the giveaway listing page. Each giveaway is governed by its own Official Rules, which are established by the Sponsor and filed with the Sponsor's licensed third-party sweepstakes administrator. By entering a giveaway, you agree to be bound by the applicable Official Rules for that giveaway.

All giveaways on the platform must provide the following entry methods:

Free Entry (Standard Method)

Every giveaway must offer at least one (1) free method of entry that requires no purchase, payment, or subscription. Free entries carry equal weight to all other entry methods. Each eligible user is entitled to a minimum of one (1) free entry per giveaway.

Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) — Mail-In

For each giveaway, an alternative method of entry is available without any purchase, payment, or use of the internet. To enter via mail, hand-print your full legal name, complete mailing address, email address, phone number, and date of birth on a 3" x 5" card and mail it to the address specified in the Official Rules for the applicable giveaway. Each mail-in entry receives the same number of entries as the free online entry method. Mail-in entries must be postmarked before the giveaway end date and received within seven (7) days of the end date. Mechanically reproduced entries are void. Limit one (1) mail-in entry per person per giveaway per stamped outer envelope.

Bonus Entries

Additional entries may be earned through product purchases, Pro membership, referrals, or promotional activities as specified on each giveaway listing. Bonus entries increase the total number of entries attributed to a participant but each individual entry has the same probability of being selected as any other individual entry. Bonus entries do not guarantee winning.

6. Winner Selection & Prize Fulfillment

It is essential that you understand the roles and responsibilities regarding winner selection and prize fulfillment:

Winner Selection

• Winners are selected at random by a licensed, independent third-party sweepstakes administration company retained and paid for by the Sponsor
• SweepsMarket does NOT select, influence, or have any role in the winner selection process
• The Sponsor does NOT select winners directly; the licensed third-party administrator conducts the random drawing
• The drawing is conducted using a certified random number generator maintained by the third-party administrator
• Each valid entry has an equal probability of being selected, regardless of how the entry was obtained (free, purchase, Pro, referral, or AMOE)
• The odds of winning depend solely on the total number of eligible entries received during the entry period

Prize Fulfillment

• Prize sourcing, procurement, delivery, and all aspects of fulfillment are the sole responsibility of the Sponsor
• SweepsMarket has NO responsibility for prize fulfillment, delivery timelines, prize condition, or prize availability
• For vehicle prizes: title transfer, registration, insurance, transportation, and delivery coordination are between the winner and the Sponsor
• All prizes are awarded "AS IS" without any warranty from SweepsMarket
• Prizes are non-transferable and may not be substituted or exchanged for cash except at the Sponsor's sole discretion

Tax Responsibility

Winners are solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes associated with the acceptance and use of any prize, including but not limited to income tax, sales tax, luxury tax, and use tax. The Sponsor (not SweepsMarket) is responsible for issuing IRS Form 1099 for prizes valued at $600 or more. Winners may be required to provide a valid Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number and complete a W-9 form prior to receiving any prize.

7. Pro Membership

SweepsMarket offers an optional Pro membership subscription at $9.95 per month ("Pro Membership"). Pro Membership benefits may include:

• Bonus entries on eligible giveaways as specified on each listing
• Access to exclusive promotions and partner discounts
• Priority customer support
• Eligibility for Pro-exclusive giveaways and promotions

Important disclosures regarding Pro Membership:

• Pro Membership does NOT guarantee that you will win any giveaway
• Pro Membership does NOT improve the probability of any individual entry being selected; it provides additional entries which are each weighted equally with all other entries
• Pro Membership is NOT required to enter or win any giveaway on the platform
• Pro Membership automatically renews on a monthly basis until cancelled
• You may cancel Pro Membership at any time through your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period

8. Product Purchases & Bonus Entries

Certain giveaways may be associated with products available for purchase through the SweepsMarket platform or through the Sponsor's integrated Shopify store. Purchasing a qualifying product may award bonus entries as specified on the giveaway listing. The following terms apply:

• All product sales are processed by the Sponsor or their designated payment processor; SweepsMarket does NOT take any commission on product sales (Sponsors retain 100% of product revenue)
• All product sales are final and non-refundable unless otherwise required by applicable law or stated in the Sponsor's return policy
• Bonus entries earned through product purchases are non-transferable and non-refundable, even if the underlying product purchase is refunded or charged back
• Product availability, pricing, descriptions, and quality are solely the responsibility of the Sponsor
• SweepsMarket makes no representations or warranties regarding any product listed on the platform
• If a product purchase is refunded or subject to a chargeback, all associated bonus entries will be automatically voided

9. Referral Program

SweepsMarket may offer a referral program allowing existing users to earn bonus entries by referring new users to the platform. The following terms apply:

• Referring users earn one (1) bonus entry per verified referral for each active giveaway at the time the referred user completes registration and email/phone verification
• Referred users must be genuine, unique individuals who have not previously had a SweepsMarket account
• Self-referrals, fake referrals, purchased referrals, and referrals obtained through spam, deception, or automated means are strictly prohibited
• SweepsMarket reserves the right to cap the number of referral entries per user per giveaway
• Referral entries are subject to verification and may be voided if the referred account is determined to be fraudulent, a duplicate, or otherwise in violation of these Terms
• SweepsMarket reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the referral program at any time without prior notice

10. Business Accounts

Businesses may register for a Business Account to sponsor giveaways, list products, and access lead generation services on the SweepsMarket platform. By creating a Business Account, the business ("Sponsor") represents, warrants, and agrees to the following:

• Sole Responsibility for Giveaways. The Sponsor is solely and exclusively responsible for all aspects of each giveaway it creates, including but not limited to: prize sourcing and procurement, prize fulfillment and delivery, winner verification, tax reporting (including IRS Form 1099 issuance), and compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local sweepstakes laws and regulations.
• Licensed Third-Party Administrator Required. The Sponsor must retain and use a licensed, professional sweepstakes administration company (such as American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., Realtime Media LLC, or a comparable licensed administrator) to conduct the random drawing, verify winner eligibility, and administer the sweepstakes in compliance with applicable law.
• Official Rules. The Sponsor must provide complete Official Rules for each giveaway, which must be filed with the licensed third-party administrator and comply with all applicable sweepstakes laws. The Official Rules must include all disclosures required by law, including but not limited to: no purchase necessary language, alternative method of entry, odds disclosure, prize description and value, eligibility requirements, and the identity of the Sponsor.
• State Registration. Where required by law (e.g., New York, Florida, Rhode Island), the Sponsor is responsible for filing any required sweepstakes registration or bonding documentation.
• Indemnification. The Sponsor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SweepsMarket, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) the Sponsor's giveaway, including winner selection, prize fulfillment, and sweepstakes compliance; (b) any product sold through the platform; (c) any breach of these Terms by the Sponsor; (d) any violation of applicable law by the Sponsor; and (e) any claim by a third party related to the Sponsor's giveaway or products.

SweepsMarket reserves the right to approve, reject, suspend, or revoke any Business Account or giveaway listing at its sole discretion and without liability.

11. Lead Generation Services

SweepsMarket provides lead generation services to Sponsors as a core feature of the platform. By entering a giveaway, Users acknowledge and consent to the following:
