Command™ INSPIRE U CONTEST RULES
This contest is open to Canadian residents who are the age of majority in their province of residence, excluding residents of Quebec.
Contest begins August 18, 2014 (12:00:01 p.m. ET) and ends on September 19, 2014 (12:00:01 p.m. ET). The Sponsor's clock shall be the official clock for all purposes relating to this contest.
No purchase necessary.
During the contest, 3M Canada Company (the contest’s “Sponsor”) will post on the Command™ Brand Facebook page various tips on how Sponsor’s Command™ Brand Products can be used. A person may obtain an entry into the contest by posting a comment on or about any such tip on the Command™ Brand Facebook page– more than one comment may be made in relation to any such tip except that each comment must be different and each comment must be separately made (by posting such a comment, you automatically consent to the comment being public, for example, by its appearing on the Command™ Brand Facebook page).
For each different comment made, one entry into the contest will automatically be given. The comments may only be made on posts on the Command™ Brand Facebook page. Comments may not exceed the maximum number of characters permitted in a Facebook comment. Comments may only be in English.
Comments may not contain any offensive words; the Contest Sponsor shall have the sole and exclusive right to determine if a comment meets that criteria and Sponsor may remove any comment that Sponsor believes in Sponsor's sole opinion to be in violation of that criteria, and in such event that comment will not be considered an entry into the contest.
Each week during the first four weeks of the contest, a prize [the "Weekly Prize"] will be randomly awarded in London, Ontario, at the head office of 3M Canada Company from amongst all eligible entries received for that respective week; therefore entries from any previous week will not be eligible for a subsequent Weekly Prize. For clarity, no weekly prize will be awarded in relation to the last week of the contest. Therefore, a total of four Weekly Prizes will be awarded, as follows.
for the first week which begins on August 18, 2014 (12:00:01 p.m., ET) and ends on August 24, 2014 (11:59:59 p.m., ET), the random draw will be on August 25, 2014.
for the second week which begins on August 25, 2014 (12:00:01 a.m., ET) and ends on August 31, 2014 (11:59:59 p.m., ET), the random draw will be on September 2, 2014.
for the third week which begins on September 1, 2014 (12:00:01 a.m., ET) and ends on September 7, 2014 (11:59:59 p.m., ET), the random draw will be on September 8, 2014.
for the fourth week which begins on September 8, 2014 (12:00:01 a.m., ET) and ends on September 14, 2014 (11:59:59 p.m., ET), the random draw will be on September 15, 2014.
At the end of the contest, all eligible entries received during the entire contest [including those that have received a Weekly Prize] will be entered into a random draw for the contest's Grand Prize. The final random draw will take place on or about September 22, 2014.
The odds of being selected to win any prize will depend upon the total number of eligible entries received for the respective prize.
Potential winners will be notified through a new page post that identifies the name of the winner on the dates specified in these rules and regulations. They will also receive a direct response to their winning post on the contest thread. The winner will be required to respond to the Command Facebook Page team through direct message within forty-eight (48) hours in order to receive directions to allow them to claim their prize. Prizes not claimed within forty-eight (48) hours of initial email notification will then be re-awarded to an alternate potential winner and the person who failed to respond in the foregoing stated timeframe will no longer be deemed a potential winner and nothing will be given to them.
