The Promotion begins on March 29th, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and ends on April 12th, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the “Promotion Period”).  There will be two consecutive giveaways during the Promotion Period (each a “Giveaway”) that will commence and conclude as follows  (each a “Giveaway Period”):

  • Giveaway 2: April 5, 2023  at 10:00 a.m. EST to April 12, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. EST

 

The Promotion is open to any individual who meets the following criteria (hereinafter referred to as “Entrant” or “you”): 

  • is a legal resident of Canada (except Quebec) at the time of the Promotion Entry Period;
  • who has reached the age of majority in Ontario at the time of the Promotion Entry Period;

and

  • is a current student at Toronto Metropolitan University at the time of the Promotion Entry Period;

You are not eligible to enter the Promotion or be selected as a Winner (as defined below) if you are:

  • an employee (except an employee who is also a student) of TMU Food Services Department at Toronto Metropolitan University or Chartwells Canada (together the “Promotion Sponsor”) or, if applicable, any of its respective advertising or promotion agencies, or any other company or individual engaged in the provision of goods or services, related to this Promotion.

No purchase necessary. An Entrant may enter a specific Giveaway at any time during the relevant Giveaway Period by liking the giveaway post on the @TMUEats account, following the @TMUEats Instagram accounts, and tagging one friend’s Instagram account in the comments section of the giveaway post (a “Giveaway Entry”). Notwithstanding the method of entry, the Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram.    

Unlimited Giveaway Entries can be earned per specific Giveaway.

There are two prizes available (each a “Prize”): 

  • Giveaway 1: Apple Airpods valued at $278.00
  • Giveaway 2: Fuji Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera valued at $100.00

A Prize must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable, assignable or convertible to cash (except as may be specifically permitted by the Promotion Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion).  No substitutions are permitted except at the Promotion Sponsor’s sole option.  The Promotion Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to substitute the Prize with an item or items of equal or greater retail value, including, without limitation, but at the Promotion Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, a cash award.

 

Within 3 days of the close of each Giveaway, a representative of the Promotion Sponsor will select from all eligible Giveaway Entries received during the Giveaway Period a winner based on random selection. The Promotion Sponsor, or its designated representative, will make a maximum of three (3) attempts to contact each selected Entrant by direct message through the Instagram platform to the account through which the Giveaway Entry was submitted within five (5) business days of the selection. If the selected Entrant cannot be contacted within five (5) business days of the end of the draw date, or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable, then that selected Entrant will be disqualified and will forfeit all rights to the Prize and the Promotion Sponsor reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion, to advance the next place winner (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section will apply to such alternate selected Entrant).   

The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Giveaway Entries received.

 

Before a selected Entrant is declared a winner (after declaration, referred to as a “Winner”), the selected Entrant must sign and return, within five (5) business days of notification, a declaration of compliance and release of liability prepared by the Promotion Sponsor (the “Release”).

In the Release, the Eligible Winner is required to, among other things:

  1. correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question without mechanical or other aid; 
  2. confirm compliance with these Promotion Rules; 
  3. agree to release the Promotion Sponsor, its governors, officers, employees, directors, representatives, and agents, and if applicable, any of their respective advertising or promotion agencies, and any other company or individual engaged in the provision of goods or services related to this Promotion (collectively, the “Promotion Parties”) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising from any liability in connection with this Promotion, the Winner’s participation therein and/or the awarding and use/misuse of the Prizes; 

The selected Entrant will be disqualified and forfeits all rights to the Prize if the selected Entrant:

  1. fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question;
  2. fails to return the properly executed Release within the specified time; or
  3. cannot be declared a Winner in accordance with these Promotion Rules for any reason. 

If the applicable Entrant is disqualified, the Promotion Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to select another Entrant via random draw (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such new selected Entrant).

 

If for any reason the Promotion or an individual Giveaway is not capable of running as planned, including infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, strike or any other causes which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Promotion or Giveaway, the Promotion Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Promotion, or any part of it, and disqualify any individual or entity who is responsible for such action.  If terminated, the Promotion Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, determine the winners from among all eligible Giveaway Entries received up to time of such action using the procedures outlined herein.
