Once all these steps are completed, you may choose one (1) of three (3) icons available on the screen to see if you win a prize. By completing these steps, you accept these Official Rules as well as the Sponsor’s privacy policy. LIMIT: One (1) LIFT Entry per person, per eligible transaction during the Contest Period.
(2) NO PURCHASE ENTRY
To enter the Contest without purchase, during the Contest Period, write to the Sponsor indicating the name of the Contest, your first name and last name, date of birth, full home address (including postal code), phone number, email address, and include a 50-word minimum hand written essay telling us why you would like to win a Prize in this Contest (each a “ Submission”). Each Submission must be original and be substantially different, at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Send us your Submission by mail at the following address:
Circle K Win a Pair Contest – No Purchase Entry
204-768 Columbia Street

Upon receipt of a valid Submission by the Sponsor, you will receive one (1) entry into the Contest (each a “No Purchase Entry” and collectively, the “No Purchase Entries”). Limit: one (1) No Purchase Entry per essay, during the Contest Period.
All No Purchase Entries must be post-marked and received by the Sponsor during the Contest Period and shall become the exclusive property of the Sponsor and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by the Sponsor. The Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due No Purchase Entries, which will be disqualified.
The LIFT Entries and the No Purchase Entries are each an “ Entry” and collectively, the “Entries.”
Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address or mobile device. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different email addresses, phone numbers, devices, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s Entries and that participant may be disqualified from the Contest. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, contest entry services) will void all Entries by that entrant. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the Authorized account holder of the device, phone number or email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The "authorized account holder" of an email address is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Otherwise, the "authorized account holder" of a device is the natural person in whose name the device has been issued and the services are billed and the “authorized account holder” of a phone number is the natural person who is assigned to a telephone number by a carrier that is responsible for assigning telephone numbers. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder. Personal information submitted will be used for the purpose of administration of the Contest.

Each Prize is not transferable or assignable and must be accepted as awarded with no substitutions in kind or otherwise, except at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. The Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a Prize or any component of a Prize for one of equal or greater value. Regardless of the situation, the Sponsor will not be required to award more prizes than what is provided for in these Official Rules or to award a prize other than in accordance with these Official Rules.

7. NOTIFICATION AND PRIZE CLAIM CONDTIONS : Winners will be notified immediately after completing their entry if they have won a prize.
To be declared a winner, the selected entrant must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules. Winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. Entrants will be required to consent to receiving electronic messages, and the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of their personal information by the Sponsor for the purposes of the Contest via text message and e-mail to complete their Entry. Potential winner will be required to correctly answer a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question without any assistance in order to be eligible to receive the Prize.

If the potential winner fails to do so, he/she may be disqualified and forfeit the Prize. In the event the potential winner is a minor, he/she will be disqualified and have forfeited the Prize. In the event that the potential winner forfeits the Prize, fails to answer the skill-testing question correctly, or is disqualified for any reason, the Prize will again become part of the available Prize pool. The Sponsor makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the appearance, safety or performance of a Prize.

9. GENERAL CONDITIONS: In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Contest is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but, not limited to, fraud, virus or other technical problem, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion either: (a) suspend the Contest to address the impairment and then resume the Contest in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) cancel the Contest and award the Prize in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual they find to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this Contest or any other promotion, or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be in violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
10.

If for any reason an entrant’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry, if it is possible. If the Contest, or any part of it, is discontinued for any reason, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any Prize offered herein.
