These are the official rules to take part in the LOACKER game:
1. No purchase necessary to enter or win. A purchase will not increase your chance of winning. The rules of the game imply that there will be winners and others who will not win any of the announced prices.
2. Eligibility: The Win With Loacker Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 13 years of age or older as of date of entry. All entrants under 18 or who are considered minors in their state of residence must have a parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to participate in this Sweepstakes. Immediate family members (for the purposes of this Sweepstakes, defined as a parent, spouse, child or sibling, regardless of where they reside) and those living in the same households, whether or not related, of any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of A. Loacker USA, Inc. (“Sponsor”) or any of its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, retailers, distributors, suppliers, and advertising and promotion agencies (collectively, the “Released Parties”) are not eligible to enter or win a prize.

4. How to Enter: Entering the Sweepstakes is a three-step process:
a. First, during the Promotion Period, you may obtain a unique code number (“Code”) in one of two ways: (i) by purchase, inside a sticker on specially marked packages of Loacker Quadratini 250g, UPCs 10491-100, 10493-000, 10496-000, 10494-000, 10492-000 and 10449-000; and Loacker Quadratini 220g, UPCs 10481-000, 10483-000, 10484-000, 10485-000, 10487-000 and 10488-000; while supplies last; or (ii) for free, by visiting www.win-with-loacker.com (the “Website”) and following the instructions provided to submit your email address. A Code will be promptly emailed to the provided email address. You will need to retain your Code so that it may be submitted as part of the prize claim redemption process. Failure to submit your Code may result in disqualification or forfeiture of any prize.
b. Second, visit the Website during the Promotion Period and follow the instructions provided to (i) answer five questions about Sponsor and its products; and then (ii) fully complete and submit the registration (which will include providing your name, telephone number, mailing address and email address) to become a registered entrant (“Registered Entrant”). Then, Sponsor will immediately send you an email to the address provided and you must confirm eligibility and your email account by return email or validation link as indicated in the confirmation email.
c. Third, after registration, follow the prompts to submit your Code (a “game play”) to see if you have won a prize (as described below). Once registered, there is a limit of one (1) game play per person, per email address per day for the entire Promotion Period. Additional game plays received from the same person or e-mail address during the same day after the first game play received from that person or email address will be void. However, once you have completed Step 2 above and registered, you may return to the Website on another day during the Promotion Period and enter another game play, provided you have not previously been notified that you are a potential winner.
5. Selection of Winners: If you are a potential winner (prize award subject to verification of eligibility, winning entry, game play and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules), a message will appear on the Website immediately following submission of your game play, indicating that you are a potential winner, and indicating the prize that you have won. If you are not a winner, a message will appear on the Website indicating that you are not a winner. (However, Registered Entrants that have not been immediately selected as potential winners may be eligible for the Final Drawing – see Section 7.)
6. Prize Notification: Following Website notification that they are potential winners, Sponsor will contact potential winners via the email address provided in the registration. Such potential winners may be required to respond to Sponsor (within a time-frame specified by Sponsor) via a confirmation email that may require the potential winners to provide the winning Code, confirm eligibility requirements and confirm information on the registration form. Sponsor shall mail the prize to the winners within approximately 30 days of Sponsor’s receipt of the confirmation email from the potential winner. Such potential winners (or, if eligible minors, their parents or legal guardians) may also be required to complete, execute, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release and (unless prohibited by law) a Publicity Release within a time period specified by Sponsor. Noncompliance with the above, with these Official Rules, the inability of Sponsor to contact a potential winner within a reasonable time period, the failure of a potential winner to respond to Sponsor’s notification email or a prize or prize notification being returned as non-deliverable, may result in disqualification.
7. Prizes/Odds: Total Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of all prizes = $25,650. There are 3 types of prizes available in the Sweepstakes (approximately fifty percent (50%) of which will be awarded during the Promotion Period, and the remaining approximately fifty percent (50%) will be awarded in the Final Drawing described below): a) an iPod nano (8 GB) player – (50 (fifty) will be available with an ARV of $199 each); b) a sweater/jacket with the “Loacker” name – (three-hundred (300) will be available with an ARV of $19 each); AND c) a backpack with the “Loacker” name – (two-thousand (2000) will be available with an ARV of $5 each). Other terms, conditions and restrictions may apply. The odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible game plays received and the timing of the submitted game plays. Limit one (1) prize per person, per household and per email address for the duration of the Promotion Period and Final Drawing. All costs and expenses associated with the acceptance and use of any prize not specified herein as being awarded as part of a prize, including, but not limited to, all federal, state and local taxes, if any, are winners’ sole responsibility. All prize details are at Sponsor’s sole discretion. By participating, entrants (and if eligible minors, their parents or legal guardians) agree to be bound by the terms of these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. If a winner is an eligible minor, the prize will be awarded in the name of the parent/legal guardian of minor entrant whose game play is selected as the winner and such parent or legal guardian may be required to fulfill all requirements imposed on winners set forth herein. No transfer, assignment, cash redemption, or substitution of a prize except by Sponsor who reserves the right, to substitute a prize with one of comparable or greater value at its sole discretion. Sponsor is not responsible for the inability of any person to claim a prize.
8. Final Drawing: Registered Entrants who were not winners throughout the Promotion Period will be automatically entered into a final random drawing (“Final Drawing”) to take place on or about March 1, 2009. Odds of winning in Final Drawing depend on the number of non-winning Registered Entrants during the Promotion Period. Sponsor will contact potential winners of the Final Drawing via the email address provided in the registration pursuant to Section 5 above.
9. Release/Limitation on Liability: By participating, each entrant (and, if a minor, entrant’s parent or legal guardian) agrees: a) that Sponsor and its designees may use (unless prohibited by law), entrant’s name, city and state of residence, biographical information, photograph and/or likeness for advertising, trade and/or any other lawful purposes in any manner and in any and all venues or media now or hereafter known throughout the world in perpetuity, without further compensation, permission or notification; b) to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any claim, action, liability, loss, injury or damage to entrant or any other person or entity, including, without limitation, personal injury or death to entrant or any other person or damage to personal or real property, due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reason of (i) the acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize, (ii) administration of the Sweepstakes, or (iii) participation in this Sweepstakes or any related activity; c) to waive all rights to claim or collect punitive, incidental, consequential or any other damages; d) that all causes of action relating to this Sweepstakes will be resolved individually without resort to any form of class action; e) that any and all claims, judgments, or awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys’ fees; and f) that New York law shall apply exclusively to the Sweepstakes and that any dispute with respect to the Sweepstakes shall be resolved in either the federal or state courts located in the State of New York.
10. General: In the event the number of notifications issued exceeds the number of prizes listed in these Official Rules due to computer, mechanical, seeding, or other errors, Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a random drawing from among the eligible, non-suspect and valid winning message prize claimants to award the listed number of prizes. Only the published number of prizes stated in these Official Rules will be awarded. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any person and void game plays and/or prize claims of any person who it believes has tampered with the entry process or any other component of this Sweepstakes, whose conduct or actions affect the administration, integrity, security, fairness or proper conduct of this Sweepstakes, or who is in violation of these Official Rules. Sponsor also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void suspect game plays or prize claims and/or to modify, cancel or suspend this Sweepstakes (or portion thereof) should virus, bugs, non-authorized human intervention or other causes corrupt or impair the administration, security, fairness or proper play of the Sweepstakes and, in the event the Sweepstakes is cancelled, at its discretion, randomly select potential prize winners for any unclaimed prizes from among all eligible non-suspect non-winning game plays received prior to event requiring such action. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, THE SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTEMPT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
In addition, the use of script, macro or automated devices (or any other devices intended to automate any aspect of participation) to play is prohibited. If Sponsor, in its sole discretion, determines that an entrant has used an automated or similar device to play or is in violation of these Official Rules, all game plays and prize claims from that entrant or email address will be void. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant based on the email address submitted, entry will be awarded to the person named on the applicable registration form (regardless of whether that is the name of the authorized account holder of the email address from which said registration was submitted). Released Parties are not responsible for late, lost, stolen, incomplete, misdirected, delayed, garbled, inaccurate, undelivered or postage-due UPC numbers, mail, Code requests, entries or prize claims, or for telephonic, human or computer failures, problems or errors, interruptions in service due to system upgrades, repairs, modifications or other causes, failures or malfunctions of connections, satellite, network, cable, Internet Service Provider (ISP), phones, phone lines or telephone systems, traffic congestion on the internet, technical or mechanical malfunctions, or other malfunctions or errors, whether caused by equipment, programming, human error or otherwise relating to or in connection with the Sweepstakes, including, without limitation, errors which may occur in connection with the administration of the Sweepstakes, the processing of Code requests, game plays or prize claims, the announcement of the prizes, or any injury or damage to participant’s or any other person’s computer relating to or resulting from participation in this Sweepstakes, or for printing, typographical, human or other errors appearing in these Official Rules or other Sweepstakes-related materials.
