Blanket Sweepstakes Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER

Overview.  These Blanket Sweepstakes Rules (“Rules”) are the “blanket” rules that apply to and govern all sweepstakes promotions (each, a “Sweepstakes”) sponsored by OBM Engineering, Inc., dba Origin Blade Maker (“OBM”).  The details for each Sweepstakes will be announced and posted on OBM’s Instagram page (www.instagram.com/originblademaker/) and/or OBM’s website (www.originblademaker.com) (each, a “Sweepstakes Notice”). By entering a Sweepstakes, you agree to be fully and unconditionally bound by these Rules, and you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements.

Eligibility. In order to be eligible to enter a Sweepstakes, entrants must be a legal U.S. resident 18 years of age or older.  Void where prohibited by law. Employees of OBM, or any entity involved in the production or promotion of the Sweepstakes, and those living in the same household, are not eligible to enter or win any Sweepstakes.

Sweepstakes Period. Each Sweepstakes begins and ends on the dates and times set forth in each Sweepstakes Notice (the “Sweepstakes Period”). OBM’s computer is the official timekeeping device for each Sweepstakes. Multiple winners will be chosen through random drawings (as discussed below) from all eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.

How to Enter.  Enter by complying with all requirements described in a Sweepstakes Notice.  Successful completion of all requirements constitutes an “Entry.”  Limit one (1) Entry per person during the Sweepstakes Period.  Duplicate Entries for a single individual during the Sweepstakes Period will be disqualified.  Odds of winning depend on number of eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.

All Entries must be posted during the Sweepstakes Period to be eligible for the Sweepstakes. OBM is not responsible for Entries not received or posted due to lost, failed, delayed, or interrupted connections or miscommunications, or other electronic malfunctions. OBM is not responsible for incorrect or inaccurate Entry information, whether caused by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes, or by any human error that may occur in the processing of Sweepstakes Entries. Instagram entrants will be the authorized Instagram account holder at the time of Entry. Entries containing false or fraudulent information, or that do not comply with these Official Rules, will be disqualified.

Each Entry is bound by and subject to the terms of these Official Rules and as applicable, OBM’s privacy policy and/or terms and conditions.

Entry Restrictions.  Entries must not: (a) violate any third party rights including, but not limited to, copyrights, trademark rights, or rights of privacy and publicity; (b) contain defamatory statements; (c) include threats to any person, place, business, or group; (d) be obscene or indecent; or (e) demonstrate or display harm to animals, or other inappropriate behavior in OBM’s sole discretion. Any elements that appear in the Entry, including, without limitation, images, text, or other materials used must be entirely original and created by the entrant, or be in the public domain. Use of any elements that are not original or in the public domain may result in disqualification of an Entry in OBM’s sole discretion.

If an Entry depicts or features any other person: (i) you must have permission from that person to grant the rights to OBM described in these Official Rules; and (ii) that person must be of the age of majority in his/her jurisdiction of residence, or if that person is a minor, you represent and warrant to OBM that you are the parent or legal guardian of such minor.

Prizes. The Sweepstakes Notice will contain details about the number of winners for each Sweepstakes, and the prize(s) to be awarded for each Sweepstakes.  Actual or estimated value may differ from perceived value at time of prize award. The specifics of the prize shall be solely determined by OBM. Prizes do not include free shipping. To be sure, if a recipient wins a gift card or special coupon code, the aforementioned must be applied to a regular shopping cart total which includes the shipping fees.

No substitute, transfer, or cash equivalent for a prize is allowed by any winner. OBM, at its sole discretion, may substitute prizes of equal or greater value.  OBM will not award all prizes if the number of eligible prizes exceeds the number of Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.

Drawing and Notification. The individual winners will be selected in a random drawing after the Sweepstakes Period from all eligible Entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.  The results of all drawings, and the decisions of OBM, are final and binding in all respects. The winners will be notified through the email address, Instagram account, or other contact information provided with the winner’s Entry, within ten (10) days after the prize drawing. If a potential winner cannot be reached at the address provided and does not respond to OBM within 10 days of the prize notification, or if he/she is found to be ineligible, or if he/she cannot or does not otherwise comply with these Official Rules, an alternate winner may be selected by a second chance random drawing

General Conditions.  All Federal, state, and local laws and regulations are applicable. All taxes (including, but not limited to, income taxes), and any and all service charges or fees applicable to the prizes are the sole responsibility of the winners.  Each winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release (“Affidavit”) which must be returned to and received by OBM within 10 days from each winner’s receipt.  Each winner may also be required to complete a Form 1099 before receiving his/her prize. Any failure to comply with the foregoing may result in disqualification and an alternate winner may be chosen.  Each winner’s Entry into the Sweepstakes and/or acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for OBM and its affiliates to use each winner’s name, address (city and state) and/or likeness for advertising and trade purposes without further compensation, in any and all forms of media, now known and hereafter devised, including without limitation on OBM’s website or on or through OBM’s Instagram and social media accounts, unless prohibited by law.  All entrants agree to comply with these Official Rules.  Any person attempting to defraud or in any way tamper with this Sweepstakes and any person who does not comply with these Official Rules, will be ineligible for a prize and may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

THE OREGON COURTS (STATE AND FEDERAL) WILL HAVE SOLE JURISDICTION OF ANY CONTROVERSIES REGARDING THE SWEEPSTAKES AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OREGON WILL GOVERN THE SWEEPSTAKES. EACH ENTRANT WAIVES ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THOSE COURTS AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.

If, for reasons beyond OBM’s control, the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as originally planned, such as tampering or bugs or infection by computer virus, OBM, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to suspend, cancel or modify the Sweepstakes without liability.  OBM is not responsible for its own or any entrant’s computer system, hardware, software or program malfunction or other errors, failures, delayed computer or email transmissions or network connections that are either human or technical in nature.

Disclaimers.  All Sweepstakes entrants agree that OBM and OBM’s affiliates will not be liable for losses or injuries of any kind resulting from acceptance or use, including misuse, of any prize, or any entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes, or any technical malfunctions of the computer system or network, computer equipment, hardware, software, or any combination thereof, or any Entries that are late (including delayed data transmissions), tampered with, garbled, incomplete, misdirected, lost, mutilated, delayed, corrupted, mechanically duplicated, illegible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules.  Entrants also agree that OBM and OBM’s affiliates are not responsible or liable for any injury or damage to an entrant’s or third person’s computer related to or resulting from the Sweepstakes or its prizes.  OBM and OBM’s affiliates are not liable for damage to a user’s computer system in any way due to an entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or downloading any information in connection with the Sweepstakes, including without limitation any server failure, lost, delayed or corrupted data or other malfunction.  OBM reserves the right to modify or cancel the Sweepstakes in the event that it becomes technically corrupted. This Sweepstakes is void where prohibited by law.

By entering the Sweepstakes, you hereby release OBM and Instagram from all responsibility and liability associated with the Sweepstakes.
