| The Handmade Kids Sweepstakes: Official Rules |
|
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. The sponsor
of the Handmade Kids Sweepstakes (the "Promotion") is Etsy, Inc. (owner and operator of Etsy.com) at 325 Gold Street, 6th Floor
Brooklyn NY 11201 (the "Sponsor").
1.ELIGIBILITY: Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia age 18 years or older at the time of entry.
Employees, directors and officers, and their immediate families (spouse, parents, children, siblings, and their respective spouses), and
their respective household members, of the Sponsor and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions and the Sponsor's advertising and
promotion agencies are not eligible to enter. The Promotion is subject to all federal, state, local, provincial, and municipal laws. U.S. law
governs this Promotion and personal jurisdiction shall exclusively be the state and federal courts located in New York. Void where
prohibited.
2.PROMOTION TIMING/DESCRIPTION: The Promotion begins on August 25, 2008 at 12:00:00 a.m. EDT and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. EDT
on September 8, 2008 (the "End Date") (collectively the "Promotion Period").
3.HOW TO ENTER THE PROMOTION: No purchase necessary. A purchase will not improve ones chance of winning. The Promotion is
only open to individuals with a valid Etsy account with a valid e-mail address on file with Etsy during the Promotion Period. By voting on
entries to the Handmade Kids Challenge, valid registered Etsy members are entered into the Promotion. An Etsy account created by an
existing Etsy member with sole purpose to enter the Promotion is not considered a valid Etsy account. Limit one entry per Promotion
category per unique and valid username. There are seven Promotion categories so each unique and valid username has seven chances
to win. All entries must be received by the End Date. Duplicate or invalid entries will be discarded. Mechanically reproduced, computer
generated, incomplete or illegible entries are void. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged.
4.PRIZES: Fourteen (14) winners will receive a $350.00 Etsy shopping spree (the "Prize"). Approximate retail value (ARV) of each Prize:
$350.00 USD. Total ARV of all Prizes to be awarded: $4,900.00 USD. The Prize may not be transferred, substituted or redeemed for cash,
except at the Sponsor's sole discretion. Specifics of the Prizes 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.
5.DETERMINATION OF WINNERS: A random drawing of all Promotion entries will be conducted each day of the fourteen (14) day
Promotion Period. Fourteen (14) random drawings will be held from all eligible entries. Potential winners will be notified by email within
thirty (30) days of the End Date. A list of the winners will be posted on or around September 25, 2008 on the Storque and the Handmade
Kids Challenge page. 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.
6.ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning a Prize depend upon the number of eligible entries received.
7.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.
