3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes. To participate, you must have a Username (as described in Rule #1). If you do not have a Username, see “How to obtain a free Username and update your Username contact information” below.

A “Subscription” is a Vuse product subscription as described at https://vusevapor.com/subscription.

A “Subscriber” is a person with a Subscription.

(1) Website Entries: New Subscribers who visit the Website and obtain a Subscription will receive one (1) entry into that day’s Daily Entry Pool upon setting up their Subscription and one (1) entry per day after that into each Daily Entry Pool during the remaining Sweepstakes Period. Existing Subscribers who maintain a current Subscription will receive one (1) entry per day into each Daily Entry Pool for a total of thirty seven (37) automatic entries into the sweepstakes during the entire Sweepstakes Period. Both New and Existing Subscribers that opt-in to SMS messages will receive one (1) additional entry into each Daily Entry Pool beginning on the day they opt-in or the start of the Sweepstakes Period, whichever occurs later.

(2) Email Entries: Non-Subscribers who wish to enter without obtaining or maintaining a Subscription may email vuseholidaysweepstakes@apfco.com during the Sweepstakes Period to receive two (2) entries per day into each Daily Entry Pool beginning on the day the email is received or the start of the Sweepstakes Period, whichever occurs later. The email MUST include VUSE HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY ENTRY in the Subject line of the email, and include the entrant’s Username, name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number and email address associated with the Username in the body of the email.

Entries must be received and recorded during the Promotion Period no later than 11:59:59 PM on the end date of each Daily Entry Pool or by 11:59:59 PM ET on December 31, 2021 to be included in the final Daily Entry Pool’s random drawing. Limit two (2) Entries per person per Daily Entry Pool regardless of the method of entry.

Entries generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro or other automated means will be disqualified. Any attempt by any person to submit more than two (2) Entries per person per Daily Entry Pool by using multiple/different Usernames or any other methods will void all of that person's Entries (and future entries into any Daily Entry Period’s random drawing).

How to obtain a free Username and update your Username contact information: A valid Username issued by Sponsor and password will be required to participate in the Promotion. A Username and password can be obtained for free at the Website, by registering as a new user by clicking on “Create An Account” on the Website. No responsibility is assumed for failure to contact an entrant due to that entrant’s failure to maintain or update his/her contact information. Contact information may be updated (subject to certain conditions imposed by Sponsor) by following the online instructions on the Website. Each entrant is responsible for the security of his/her Username and password. Each entrant should take precautions to keep his/her Username and password private to prevent unauthorized use. Sponsor will not be responsible for any losses, damages or consequences one may suffer due to careless or unauthorized use of a Username or password. Entrants must use only one (1) Username and password and must use the Username and password assigned to entrant by Sponsor. Should any entrant attempt to use more than one Username and/or password, or a Username and/or password that was not assigned to entrant, that entrant and their Plays (and entries into the random drawing) will be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

By registering for a Username, entrants will automatically be added to the Sponsor's email and mailing distribution list. You may subsequently opt out of either distribution list by calling toll-free 1-877-614-8873 or logging on to vusevapor.com and making changes within your profile regarding the receipt of email and/or mail from Sponsor. Opting out of either distribution list will not affect entrant's chance of winning. Please see Sponsor's Privacy Policy located at https://login.vusevapor.com/FooterLinks/PrivacyPolicy for details regarding the use of personal information collected in connection with this Promotion. If you are selected and verified as a winner, your information may also be included in a publicly available winner’s list. Additionally, any communication between a potential winner and Sponsor or its agencies regarding this Promotion (e.g., phone calls, text messages, chats, emails, etc.) may be recorded and retained for quality assurance and training purposes.

4. SWEEPSTAKES - RANDOM DRAWINGS: The potential Prize winners will be selected in a random drawing to be held daily starting November 26, 2021, from among all eligible Entries received during the Drawing Dates set forth on the Daily Drawing Chart set forth in Official Rule #2 above, with the exception of weekends and holidays. Drawing will then be conducted on the next business day. Each drawing will be held by an independent agency whose decisions shall be final and binding in all matters relating to this Promotion. Any non-winning entries from any Daily Entry Pool will NOT carry over to subsequent random drawings, as the non winners will automatically be entered into the next day Daily Entry Pool for their equivalent amount of entries up to a max of two (2) entries.

5. PRIZES/ODDS:

Each “Prize” will be awarded in the form of a check in the amount of $1,400 (which is the one year average value of a Premium tier Subscription). Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of each Prize: $1,400.00. Thirty-seven (37) Prizes will be awarded. One Prize will be awarded for each Daily Entry Pool.

Total ARV of all Prizes: $51,800.00.

Winner must accept prize as stated by Sponsor, or prize may be forfeited. Any difference between the actual value of the prize and the approximate retail value set forth in these Official Rules may not be claimed and will not be awarded. Winner may not substitute, assign or transfer a prize. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize (or portion thereof) with one of comparable or greater value, at its sole discretion. Prize is awarded "as is" with no warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied by Sponsor.

Odds of winning a Prize depends on the total number of eligible Entries received in each Daily Entry Pool.

GENERAL CONDITIONS: By participating in the Promotion, (a) entrants agree that Sponsor and Promotion Parties and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and are indemnified, released and will be held harmless by entrants from any and all liability, including liability for any damages, injuries or losses of any kind to person(s), including death, or property, arising directly or indirectly from the acceptance, possession, misuse or use of a prize or his/her participation in this Promotion or any Promotion-related activity, including travel thereto; and (b) winners grant (and agree to confirm such grant in writing promptly upon request) to Sponsor and those acting under Sponsor's authority the right to the use of his/her name, photograph, likeness, voice, image, statements and biographical information at any time or times for advertising, trade, publicity and promotional purposes (including the advertising and promotion of nicotine products) in any media now known or hereafter discovered, worldwide and on the World Wide Web, without review, notification, approval or additional compensation, unless prohibited by law. All winners are subject to age verification and confirmation that they meet the eligibility criteria set forth in Rule #1. An entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if a prize-winning message or any other aspect of the Promotion should so indicate, unless and until the entrant’s eligibility and the potential winning Entry have been verified. Screen shots or other evidence of winning will not be accepted in lieu of the validation process.

Each potential Prize winner will be notified via email/phone within one (1) business day of the actual drawing date, with the exception of weekends and holidays. Each Prize winner will be required to complete, sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Release, a government issued ID if age verification is required and, where lawful, a Publicity Release within three (3) business days of notification.

Prizes cannot be shipped to a PO Box, if a PO Box is associated with the address connected to your Username, please update your mailing address within your Username contact information (see Rule #3).

If a potential winner cannot be contacted or if documents are not returned within the specified time frame, or if any prize notification or prize is returned as non-deliverable, or if a potential winner is found to be ineligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected by random drawing at the end of the promotion from among all remaining eligible Entries received during the Promotion Period.

Sponsor is not responsible for any change of email address, mailing address and/or telephone number of entrants. Reporting and payment of federal, state and local income and other taxes on the prizes, if any, are solely the responsibility of each winner. The Prize winner will receive an IRS Form 1099 in the amount of their prize ARV(s), at the appropriate time. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
