During the Contest Period, there will be twelve (12) draws, one (1) for each Monthly Period. The draws will take place at 10:00 a.m. EST on each of February 2, 2009, March 3, 2009, April 1, 2009, May 1, 2009, June 1, 2009, July 2, 2009, August 3, 2009, September 2, 2009, October 1, 2009, November 2, 2009, December 1, 2009 and January 4, 2010 (each a “Monthly Draw”). Entrants must enter only once during each Monthly Period to be eligible to win one of that month’s prize. Entries during a particular Monthly Period do not qualify for prizes in subsequent Monthly Periods.
At or on each Monthly Draw date, five (5) entrants will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received during each Monthly Period. Any selected mail-in entry forms must be legible and fully completed. All selected entrants must correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question without assistance or the use of a calculator. The selected entrants will be notified by email and/or telephone within 3 days of the Monthly Draw date and may be required to provide proof of identification. In the event that any email notification is returned as undelivered, a further three (3) attempts will be made to re-send said email. If a selected entrant does not respond to the email notification within three (3) days, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate entrant will be selected from among all eligible entries received during the applicable Monthly Period. In the event that a selected entrant is contacted by telephone instead of email and his/her request, and does not respond to the telephone notification within three (3) days, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate entrant will be selected from among all eligible entries received during the applicable Monthly Period. Alternate entrant(s) will be selected in the same manner as the original selected entrant. It is the sole responsibility of the entrant to notify Pizza Pizza in writing if the entrant changes his or her email address. To do so, send an email to contests@pizzapizza.ca.
Before being declared a winner, selected entrants must: (i) correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question without assistance or the use of a calculator, administered at the time of contact, and (ii) sign (or, where the selected entrant is a minor in his/her province of residence, his/her parent or legal guardian must sign) a Declaration of Compliance with the Contest rules and a Release of Liability releasing Pizza Pizza, the contest judging organization, the prize suppliers, Viacom International Inc., their respective advertising and promotional agencies and each of their respective directors, officers, owners, partners, employees, agents, franchisees, subsidiaries, affiliates, associated companies, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all liability in connection with this Contest or the acceptance or use of any prize awarded in this Contest.
