No purchase or entry fee is required to participate or to win one of the items of value identified by the Sponsor (defined below) as a Contest prize (each such item being a “Prize”). This Contest is void where prohibited. Only eligible persons may participate in the Contest.

  1. Introduction and Background of the Contest: This Contest is sponsored by either (a) the specific Tommy’s Express franchisee identified in an original, franchisee-authored internet post published on a dedicated internet web page and/or social media post that both links to the Website and announces the Contest (the “Post”) or (b) if no such franchisee is identified in the Post, then Tommy’s Express LLC, a Michigan limited liability company located at 648 South Point Ridge Road, Holland, Michigan 49423, support@tommys-express.com, (616) 369-8917. In either case, the sponsor of the Contest is referred to herein as the “Sponsor.” No person or company other than Sponsor is responsible for this Contest or the award of the Prize(s).
  2. How to Enter: The Post will contain information regarding the dates when the Contest begins and ends, the deadline for entries, the approximate date by which a winner will be selected, and the means of entry. Questions about the Contest may be submitted to the Sponsor up to the entry submission deadline. Sponsor reserves the discretion to consider or not consider any submission not made in the manner described in the Post. Entries must be received by Sponsor within the timeframe identified in the Post (the “Contest Period”). If the Post does not clearly identify a timeframe, then the Contest Period expires at midnight on the 30th day following the date on which the Post was made publicly available. Eligible Entrants who submit an entry in conformity with these Official Rules are called “Entrants.” No more Prizes than the number of Prizes identified in the Post will be awarded as a Prize as defined in these Official Rules. If the Post does not clearly identify a maximum number of Prizes, then Sponsor will not be obligated to award more than one Prize. Sponsor is not responsible for late, lost, misdirected, mutilated, incomplete, illegible or otherwise corrupt entries. All entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned.  Limit – One entry per Eligible Entrant:  An Eligible Entrant may enter the Contest only one time. Multiple entries from the same Eligible Entrant will result in disqualification of such Eligible Entrant and the voiding of all entries from that Entrant.
  3. Eligibility to Compete: The Contest is open only to legal residents of the United States of America, including the District of Columbia (“Eligible Entrants”). Each Eligible Entrant may submit only one entry in the Contest. The following persons are ineligible to participate in the Contest: The Sponsor, the Contest administrators, immediate family members of the Sponsor or Contest administrators, and the firms, partners, and professional associates of the Sponsor or any Contest administrator or Juror including, but not limited to, employees and interns and/or volunteers. If it is determined that a participant is in any material way related to the Sponsor or a Contest administrator, that participant’s entry will be disqualified.
  4. Review of Entries: The Sponsor shall appoint a panel of administrators to review submissions, apply the Contest criteria, and in cooperation with the Sponsor, select one or more winners (each a “Winner”). The criteria to be applied shall be described in the Post.
  5. Prize:
    • Prize(s): The Prizes and retail value of each will be listed in the Post. If the Post is ambiguous on the number of Prizes, the number is one. If it is ambiguous on retail value, the value is equal to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price or the then-current market price of the Prize (with preference given to the average price listed on Amazon.com, if applicable), whichever is lower. Eligible Entrants may contact Sponsor for clarification.
    • Prize Winner Responsible for All Associated Costs: Each Prize Winner is responsible for all costs associated with accepting the Prize, including taxes, government surcharges, fees or expenses. Additionally, the Prize Winner is responsible for any other related costs or expenses related to the use of the Prize.
    • Claiming Prize / No Substitution of Prize: If a Prize is not claimed by the applicable Prize Winner on or before midnight of the 30th day after Sponsor has sent notification of being a Prize Winner, it will be forfeited and the Sponsor, may, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion be awarded to another randomly selected Entrant. Prizes will not be awarded to any person, whether eligible or not, in any jurisdiction where this Contest is restricted or prohibited by law or regulation. Sponsor will not permit substitution, transfer or payment of a cash equivalent for a Prize except that the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may substitute a Prize with a Prize of equal or greater value, as a result of the unavailability of the Prize or any component thereof, or for any other reason.
    • Odds of Winning: The odds of winning the Prize depend on the total number of eligible Contest entries received during the Contest Period. Subject to the limitations in these Official Rules, the Prize will be awarded.
  6. Notification of the Prize Winner/Affidavit of Eligibility and Publicity Release: The Prize Winner will be notified by the same means of communication supplied with their entry, which in most cases will be an email address or social media account. (In the event of an entry submitted by index card, the listed email address will be used.) If Sponsor’s Prize notification is returned to Sponsor as undeliverable, the Prize will be forfeited. In the event that any Prize is forfeited, such Prize may, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion, be awarded to a randomly selected alternate Prize Winner. The Prize Winner’s name and/or photographs may be posted on the Sponsor’s website upon completion of the Contest. The Prize Winner will be required to execute and return a notarized Affidavit/Declaration of Eligibility/Release of Liability and a Publicity Release before receiving the Prize, as well as a W9 form if requested, or the Prize shall be forfeited. The Prize will also be forfeited in the event that any other lack of cooperation by the Prize Winner prevents or unreasonably complicates Sponsor’s efforts to deliver the Prize.
