HOW TO ENTER THE PROMOTION: No purchase necessary. A purchase will not improve ones chance of winning. The Promotion is only open to individuals that sign up for a new Etsy account here [link: https://www.etsy.com/register.php], during the Promotion Period. The Promotion is not open to existing Etsy members. Existing Etsy members may not create an alternative account in order to enter the Promotion. To enter the Promotion, entrants must sign up for an account on Etsy.com, and write "HalloweenSpree08" in the "How did you hear about Etsy?" registration field. Entrants must provide a valid e-mail address. Limit one (1) entry per person. All entries must be received by the End Date. Mechanically reproduced, computer generated, incomplete or illegible entries are void. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged.

PRIZES: Five (5) winners will receive a $100.00 Etsy shopping spree (the "Prize"). Approximate retail value (ARV) of each Prize: $100.00 USD. Total ARV of all Prizes to be awarded: $500.00 USD. The Prize may not be transferred, substituted or redeemed for cash, except at the Sponsor's sole discretion. Specifics of the Prize are in Sponsor's sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to award a Prize of equal or greater value if advertised Prize, or a portion of the Prize is unavailable. No more than the advertised number of Prizes will be awarded.

DETERMINATION OF WINNERS: Five (5) random drawings will be held from all eligible entries. Potential winners will be notified by email within thirty (30) days of the End Date. Potential winners may be asked to provide certain information to Etsy within a reasonable time frame. Failure to provide this information to Etsy within the time frame may deem the Prize forfeited and Etsy will award the Prize to an alternate winner. Limit one (1) Prize per person. In the event a winning entry is discovered to be invalid for any reason whatsoever or the person who submitted the winning entry fails to comply with these Official Rules prior to delivery of the Prize, the Prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. All decisions and results are final and binding.

ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning a Prize depend upon the number of eligible entries received.

NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION OF WINNERS: Potential winners may be required to sign and return to Sponsor an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Prize and/or Publicity Release within fourteen (14) days of issuance of notification. Non-compliance within this time frame or with requirements, or if a Prize or a Prize notification is returned as undeliverable, will result in the entrant being disqualified, and the Prize will be randomly awarded to a potential alternate winner.
