Carpe Target Selfie Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) Official Rules
No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win. A purchase or payment does not increase your chances of winning. Void where prohibited. This Sweepstakes is intended for participation in the United States only.
Important: Please read these official rules (“Official Rules”), which are a contract, carefully before entering. Without limitation, this contract includes agreement to arbitrate disputes, indemnities to the Sponsor from you and a limitation of your rights and remedies. By participating, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and represent that you satisfy all of the eligibility requirements.
This Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.
Instagram: To enter via Instagram, participants must: (1) upload a photo of themselves with Carpe stock in Target on Instagram (the photo must clearly show them with Carpe products on shelves); and (2) tag @mycarpe on Instagram in their submission. Participants can upload via Instagram Story, Instagram grid post, or Instagram Reel. If a post is made on a private account, the entrant must also send a direct message of their submission to the Carpe Instagram Account (mycarpe) on Instagram. Both actions must be fully completed during the Sweepstakes Period to constitute one (1) valid entry. Failure to complete any of the above steps, or failure to complete them within the Sweepstakes Period, will result in the submission not being considered a valid entry and the participant will not be entered into the Sweepstakes.
Alternative Method of Entry: Alternatively, participants may enter for free by hand-printing their full legal name, complete mailing address (including city, state, and zip code), date of birth, email address, and phone number on a 3"x5" card or piece of paper and mailing it in a hand-addressed, stamped envelope to: Carpe Target Selfie Sweepstakes, 120 W. Parrish St., Suite B, Durham, NC, 27701. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by March 8 and received by March 13. Only one entry per stamped outer mailing envelope. Mail-in entries that are mechanically reproduced, copied, illegible, incomplete, or inaccurate will not be accepted. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, damaged, stolen, illegible, postage-due, incomplete, or misdirected mail-in entries. Mail-in entries have the same odds of winning as all other valid entries and count as one (1) entry, provided all required information is included and the entry is timely postmarked and received.
Automated entries are prohibited, and any use of automated devices will cause disqualification. Entrants may not enter with multiple email addresses nor may entrants use any other device or artifice to enter multiple times or as multiple entrants. Any entrant who attempts to enter with multiple email addresses, under multiple identities, or uses any device or artifice to register multiple times will be disqualified and forfeits any and all prizes won, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address.
Proof of submitting an entry (such as, without limitation, a printed, saved or copied automated receipt confirming submission or a “thanks for entering” screen or message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an entry for purposes of the Sweepstakes. Entries may not be acknowledged or returned and Sponsor will own all entry responses. Those who do not abide by these Official Rules and other instructions of Sponsor and its representatives may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be disqualified and the associated entry void. Attempts made by a participant to submit entries in excess of any limit or otherwise in violation of these Official Rules by using multiple or false contact information or otherwise may be disqualified. Purported entries that are forged, altered, incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, mutilated, illegitimate, unintelligible, garbled, or generated by a macro, bot, or other automated means will not be accepted and will be void. Entries or participation made on a participant’s behalf by any other individual (except as otherwise set out herein), made by any entity or group, or through commercial promotion subscription notification or entering services, will be declared invalid and disqualified for the Sweepstakes. As a condition of entering the Sweepstakes, without limiting any other provision in these Official Rules, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor and its agents to obtain and deliver his or her name, address, and other information and content to third parties for the purpose of administering this Sweepstakes and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.
Grand Prize: One (1) $500 Target Gift Card (ARV: $500)
Total ARV of all prizes: $500
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. All prize details not specifically stated in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. All taxes (federal, state, and local, to the extent applicable), as well as any expenses not specified in these Official Rules as being provided as part of the prize, are the sole responsibility of winner. Sponsor is not responsible for and will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen prize, or any prize that is undeliverable or does not reach a winner because of incorrect or changed contact information. If winner does not accept or use the entire prize, the unaccepted or unused part of the prize will be forfeited and Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that prize or portion of the prize. Sponsor is not responsible for any inability of any winner to accept or use any prize (or portion thereof) for any reason. Winner is strictly prohibited from selling, auctioning, trading or otherwise transferring any part of a prize, except with Sponsor’s permission, which may be granted or withheld for any reason in its sole discretion. No transfers, prize substitutions or cash redemptions will be made, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the stated prize or portion thereof with another prize or portion thereof of equal or greater value for any reason, including, without limitation, prize unavailability. No more than the stated prizes will be awarded. Participants waive the right to assert as a cost of winning any prize any costs of verification, redemption, or publicity arising from claiming or seeking to claim a prize.
Each potential winner will be required to respond to the prize notification within forty‑eight (48) hours of the time the notification is sent (or within the timeframe otherwise specified by Sponsor in the notification). Failure to timely respond, failure to provide required information, or failure to comply with these Official Rules may result in forfeiture of the prize, and Sponsor may, in its sole discretion and time permitting, select an alternate winner using the original method of winner selection.
If any prize, prize notification, or Sweepstakes-related communication is rejected, faulty, or undeliverable; if potential winner does not respond according to the notification’s or Sponsor’s instructions; or if winner or potential winner fails to comply with these Official Rules, the prize may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected (time permitting) based on the original method of winner selection or other method that is fair in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor is not obligated to pursue more than three (3) alternate winners for any prize for any reason, in which case such prize may go unawarded. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the notification procedures and applicable deadlines for responding in connection with the selection of any alternate potential winner, if any. If a prize is legitimately claimed, it will be awarded. Upon prize forfeiture or inability to use a prize or portion thereof, no compensation will be given and Sponsor will have no responsibility or liability to that participant. To claim a prize, winner must follow the directions outlined by the Sponsor. Failure to comply with these requirements, Sponsor’s or its representative’s instructions, or these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in disqualification from the Sweepstakes and forfeiture of any prize potentially won. Decisions of the Sponsor are final on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes, including interpretation of these Official Rules, determining the winner(s), and awarding of the prize(s).
Each entrant understands and agrees that all rights under section 1542 of the Civil Code of California and any similar law of any eligible jurisdiction are hereby expressly waived by him/her. Section 1542 reads as follows:
“Certain claims not affected by a general release. A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
Sponsor’s decisions will be final in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes, including interpretation of these Official Rules, determination of any winner, and awarding of any prize. All participants, as a condition of entry in the Sweepstakes, agree to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor. Failure to comply with these Official Rules may result in disqualification from the Sweepstakes. Participants further agree to not damage or cause interruption of the Sweepstakes and/or prevent others from participating in the Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right to restrict or void online entries or participation from any IP address if any suspicious entry and/or participation is detected. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void entries of any entrants who Sponsor believes have attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of the Sweepstakes. Sponsor’s failure to or decision not to enforce any provision in these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. In the event there is an alleged or actual ambiguity, discrepancy, or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials and/or these Official Rules (including any alleged discrepancy in these Official Rules), it will be resolved by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in any Sweepstakes materials or these Official Rules. If Sponsor determines, at any time and in its sole discretion, that a winner or potential winner is disqualified, ineligible, in violation of these Official Rules, or engaging in behavior that Sponsor deems obnoxious, inappropriate, threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify that winner or potential winner, even if the disqualified winner or potential winner may have been notified or displayed or announced anywhere. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their collective terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. If the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, modify or suspend the Sweepstakes and award the prize from eligible entries received prior to cancellation, modification, or suspension or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor. If any person supplies false information, obtains entries by fraudulent means, or is otherwise determined to be in violation of these Official Rules in an attempt to obtain any prize, Sponsor may disqualify that person and seek damages from him or her and that person may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In the event of a dispute concerning who submitted an entry, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, deem the entry ineligible. Caution: Any attempt to damage any online service or website or to undermine the legitimate operation of a sweepstakes violates criminal and civil laws. If such an attempt is made, Sponsor may disqualify any participant making such attempt and may seek damages to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts located in or having jurisdiction over Durham County, North Carolina, and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sweepstakes will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined arbitration rules & procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “demand for arbitration,” then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Philadelphia, PA, Chicago, IL, New York City, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA, Miami, FL, or Dallas, TX (whichever is closest to your residence) or in your hometown, but only if JAMS rules so require. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions or class arbitrations; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Durham County, North Carolina. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of the Sweepstakes.
To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and the Released Parties agree that, in the event that there are 100 or more individual demands for arbitration of a similar nature filed against Sponsor or another Released Party by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organization(s) within a 30-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), the arbitration administration service (1) will administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 demandants left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining parties); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of case management fees and arbitrator compensation due per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). You and the Released Parties agree (1) to work with the arbitration administrator/service in good faith to facilitate the resolution of disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (2) that requests for arbitration are of a “similar nature” if they arise out of the same event, agreement, or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section.
Claims may not be resolved through any form of class action and shall be resolved individually. Entrant further agrees (x) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, consequential, or any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses; (y) any and all claims, judgments, and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys’ fees and court costs; (z) entrant’s remedies are limited to a claim for money damages (if any) and entrant irrevocably waives any right to seek injunctive or equitable relief. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitations or exclusion of liability, so the above may not apply to every entrant.
