Final Rules --
June 7, 2009 - Changed Items Highlighted
Contest Objective: Win a vacation to St. Maarten by meeting the qualifications in these rules. No purchase necessary.
How the contest works:
The First Grand Prize winner gets her or his
pick of a vacation at any of the resorts listed above. That same
winner also receives all the other non-hotel or non-villa prizes listed above.
Second and third place winners also get one-week St. Maarten vacations.
To be eligible for the First Grand Prize, all entries must be postmarked no later than
Thursday, June 11, 2009, and must arrive by Friday,
June 12. No exceptions. (See details
below.)
How we pick the winner:
Winner will
be selected at random from all entries received. These rules are subject to change.
Rules that apply are those in effect on 6/11/2009.
Where to send entries: Follow
the rules below for all entries. Mail to: Memory
Lane, c/o JMB Communications, P. O. Box 1812,
Plymouth, MA 02362-1812.
Rules:
1. No Refreshing
Pages: Site visitors are
not allowed to continuously refresh pages to increase hit counter numbers.
We can detect this and will use entries received from people
who do this as garden mulch next year. Coming to the site a few times a day is fine; refreshing the home page
endlessly isn't.
2. Eligibility: Entries that do not meet eligibility requirements
(by not adhering to these rules) will be shredded and used for colorful
garden mulch in our company garden this year.
3. How To Enter: Get a PICTURE POSTCARD (or
a plain postcard will do) and on
the back, PRINT your name, street mailing address, email address, daytime
telephone number, the page on our SXM website that's your favorite, and a
suggestion for a new page topic that is not on the site. (Use the
Google search engine on our home page first to be sure what you suggest
isn't already on the site.) You may enter a maximum of
50 times (50 separate
picture postcards). Enter more, and
all your cards become mulch. Alternative:
use a sealed number 10 business envelope and write all the info on the back
of it, not inside. We prefer postcards because they're prettier.
4. Mailing: To be eligible for the First Grand Prize, all entries must be postmarked no later
6/11/09.
5.
Other Vacation Prizes:
Winners of all prizes will be selected from entries
drawn totally at random.
6. Cancellation: JMB reserves the right to cancel this contest at any time, for any reason. If we do so, no prizes will be awarded. JMB also reserves the right to offer substitute prizes of approximately equal or greater value, if available, should that be necessary. (We don't expect either of these things to happen.)
7. Previous winners of JMB travel prizes and employees or contractors of JMB Communications and their immediate families are not eligible.
8. Unclaimed prizes: If a Grand Prize is unclaimed, or a person drawn is ineligible or declines the prizes, JMB will draw again from
all entries to determine the winner.
Prizes may be transferable to others at the sole discretion of JMB and those
providing the prizes.
9. Airfare is not included, but the "First Grand
Price" winner will be given a free five-year membership
or membership extension in JMB Website Supporters to use in obtaining low-cost airfares.
10. Rules changes: JMB reserves the right to amend these rules at its discretion at any time.
11. Entrant age: Winners must be at least 21 years old.
12. Void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted. You may incur an income tax liability by claiming prizes; consult your tax advisor.
13. No purchase necessary to win.
14. No prize substitution -- prizes have no cash value and will not be converted into cash. Prizes may or may not be transferable; ask us if you
are a winner.
15. All prizes are subject to restrictions imposed
by the businesses providing them. For example, at restaurants supplying
dinner for two, you can order off the menu but the restaurant is free to
impose restrictions on what alcohol you may or may not be able to order.
Meals are not included at hotels unless otherwise specified. Some vacations may be subject to seasonal
restrictions/limitations, deadlines for travel, security deposits, or other conditions.
Some villas prohibit children. Others allow winners to vacation summers
only. Other deadlines and conditions may apply to other
items.
16. NOTICE: In conducting its giveaways, JMB Communications does not act as an agent for, and has no legal association whatsoever with, any of the companies that provide prizes. Prizes are provided directly by the companies that own them to the winners; JMB has no involvement except to advise the companies of the identity of the winners.
By
entering this contest and/or accepting any prizes, winners conclusively and irrevocably agree without recourse to hold JMB Communications harmless in the event of any dispute of any kind regarding any prize, its use, or its provider. This provision cannot be waived by anyone. Prizes are provided by their owners to winners in return for publicity given by JMB Communications. JMB Communications will accept no liability whatsoever if any company or person that has agreed to provide prizes for this giveaway fails to do so, or provides something other than what they agreed to provide. The prizes are provided by them, not by us.
17. All paperwork must reach us
by Friday morning, June 12, 2009.
JMB is not responsible for delayed
or misrouted entries.
18. Winners must agree to being mentioned on JMB Communications websites (first name,
last initial, and city only) and
the First Grand Prize winner must agree to being shown in at least one photo.
19. Jeff Berger expects to personally call all travel award
winners for all Memory Lane travel prizes.
20. In connection with Memory Lane, other prizes may be offered through our
weekly St. Maarten newsletter. Readers are urged to
subscribe at the top of any page at
www.everythingstmaarten.com.
21.
By
entering, all entrants certify that they meet all
eligibility requirements stated here, have read
these rules, and agree to abide by them.
Judges decisions are final and by entering, all
entrants agree not to question or appeal any judges'
decisions, in any way.
22. DRAWING
DATE:
June 12,
2009, at 4PM. If the Grand Prize Winner is within
300 miles of Plymouth, Massachusetts, Jeff Berger
will surreptitiously make sure you're home that
weekend and will drive there Saturday or Sunday and
ring your bell (like those Publishers Clearinghouse
people) and give you the news personally. We are not
responsible for any resulting heart attacks.
