Run/Walk Using Your Nike+ Device(s): During the Promotion Period, visit www.nikeplus.com to log in to your Nike+ account ("Account"). If you don't already have an Account, you may register for a free Account. Join the "Five Year Birthday Challenge" and then run/walk with your Nike+ device. For every five (5) kilometers that you run/walk and synch to your Account during the applicable Weekly Entry Period, you will automatically receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period drawing. Excess kilometers (above any increment of five (5) kilometers) run/walked will not count for the applicable or future Weekly Entry Periods. There is no requirement that you reset your device to record your activity in kilometers to earn entries.
Mail-in Method: To enter without purchase of Nike+ devices or exercise, hand print your name, address, day and evening phone numbers, email address (if any), and date of birth on a 3" x 5" piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to “Nike+ Five Year Birthday Challenge,” c/o ePrize, LLC, Dept. #574228, P.O. Box 5046, Kalamazoo, MI 49003-5046, U.S.A. You will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period drawing. Limit: One (1) entry per envelope-request. All mail-in entries must be handwritten and must be postmarked and received by the dates listed in the above chart. All entries become the exclusive property of Sponsor and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified.
Limit: Each entrant may receive up to forty-eight (48) entries per each Weekly Entry Period, regardless of the method of entry. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or Account. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, Accounts, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
5. Drawings: Administrator is an independent judging organization, whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select one (1) potential Weekly Entry Period winner from all eligible entries received during the applicable Weekly Entry Period, on or around the dates listed in the chart above. The drawings will take place at Administrator’s offices at the address set forth above. The potential winners will be notified by email. Except where prohibited, each potential winner (parent/legal guardian if a winner is a minor in his/her place of residence) will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance ("Declaration"), which must be received by Administrator, within seven (7) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent (ten (10) days if winner is from the United Kingdom), in order to claim his/her prize. If any potential winner is a Canadian resident, he/she will be required to answer a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question without assistance, in order to be eligible to receive a prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration within the required time period, or fails to answer the skill-testing question correctly (if applicable), potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.
