Official Rules
1. ELIGIBILITY
No purchase necessary to enter or win; neither a purchase nor being a customer of PPL Electric Utilities Corporation (“Sponsor”) will increase your odds of winning. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply, and these Giveaways are void in Puerto Rico and where prohibited or restricted by law. By entering the Giveaways, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by these Official Rules, which are subject to modification in Sponsor’s sole discretion without further notice.
To be eligible for these Giveaways, you must be at least 18 (eighteen) years of age as of December 1, 2024, and you must be a legal resident of the fifty United States or the District of Columbia. You are not eligible to enter or win these Giveaways if you are (a) an employee of Sponsor or its corporate affiliates, advertising agencies, or promotional agencies; and/or (b) a member of the immediate family or household of any of the above persons. In these Official Rules, “immediate family” means spouse, life partner, father, mother, brother, sister, son, and daughter.
These Giveaways are not affiliated with or sponsored, endorsed, or administered by any third-party social media websites (including but not limited to Facebook and Instagram), or any third-party manufacturers whose products are included as prizes in these Giveaways.
2. ENTRY PERIOD
The Giveaways will include twelve (12) separate daily entry periods (each a “Daily Entry Period”), and each Daily Entry Period has a separate prize (twelve prizes total in the Giveaways). The first Daily Entry Period in the Giveaways will start at midnight on or about December 5, 2024 and will end at 11:59PM on the day on which it starts. After this first Daily Entry Period, each of the next eleven days will also be Daily Entry Periods, and thus the last of the twelve Daily Entry Periods will be on or about December 20, 2024. Each Daily Entry Period starts at midnight and ends at 11:59 PM on the day on which it starts (twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes after it starts). All eligible entries received during each Daily Entry Period have an equal chance of winning the prize associated with that day of the Giveaways.
3. HOW TO ENTER
On or about December 5, 2024, Sponsor will send one email announcement regarding the Giveaways to each existing Sponsor customer email address on file with consent as of December 1, 2024, and Sponsor will post daily content on Sponsor’s Facebook and/or Instagram social media pages from on or about December 5 through December 20, 2024 regarding the Giveaways and related energy efficiency tips, programs, and products; in the Sponsor email and social media postings that are part of the Giveaways (the “Sponsor Postings”), the Sponsor will also expressly reference these Giveaways.
In response to a Sponsor Posting on Facebook, an individual who is an active existing customer of Sponsor as of December 1, 2024 may enter the Giveaway for the Daily Entry Period on which the Sponsor Posting is posted by taking all three of the following actions during the Daily Entry Period in question: (a) following PPL Electric Utilities on Facebook (if that individual is not already doing so); (b) “liking” the Sponsor Posting on Facebook; and (c) posting a comment on Facebook in response to the Sponsor Posting.
In response to a Sponsor Posting on Instagram, an individual who is an active existing customer of Sponsor as of December 1, 2024 may enter the Giveaway for the Daily Entry Period on which the Sponsor Posting is posted by taking all three of the following actions during the Daily Entry Period in question: (a) following @PPLElectric on Instagram (if that individual is not already doing so); (b) “liking” the Sponsor Posting on Instagram; and (c) posting a comment on Instagram in response to the Sponsor Posting.
Anyone who takes the actions described above is an “entrant” for purposes of these Official Rules for the Daily Entry Period on which these actions are taken, but is not an “entrant” for purposes of these Official Rules for any other Daily Entry Period on which these actions are not taken. It is permissible for an entrant to enter the Giveaways for more than one Daily Entry Period and for all of the Daily Entry Periods, but the actions described above must be taken on each of the Daily Entry Periods for which the entrant wants to become eligible to win the prize associated with that day of the Giveaways.
All entries become Sponsor’s property and will not be returned. Sponsor will not be responsible or liable for any entries that are incomplete, illegible, mutilated, misdirected, delayed, late, lost, or not received due to any reason; Sponsor will also not be responsible or liable for any human error. Entries and social media responses and comments are subject to verification and will be declared invalid and disqualified if they are late, inappropriate, illegible, unintelligible, incomplete, mechanically reproduced, mutilated, forged, falsified, altered or tampered with in any way.
In the event of a dispute regarding entries received from multiple users having the same social media or email account, the authorized subscriber of record of the social media or email account at the time of entry for the Daily Entry Period in question will be deemed to be the entrant and must comply with these Official Rules. Authorized account subscriber of record for email addresses is the natural person who is assigned the email address by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), on-line service provider, or other organization responsible for assigned email addresses; authorized account subscriber of record for social media is the natural person who is assigned the social media account by Facebook or Instagram, as applicable. Sponsor’s computer clock is the official time-keeping device for the Giveaways.
4. PRIZES
Approximately one business day after the end of each Daily Entry Period, Sponsor will randomly select one winner (a “Winner”) from among all eligible entries that Sponsor received for that Daily Entry Period, using a random winner or similar generator. Odds of winning are based on the number of valid and eligible entries received during that Daily Entry Period. Sponsor cannot accurately predict the number of eligible entries received.
Each Winner will receive one product or bundle of products (each product or bundle of products given to a single Winner is a “Prize,” and there are twelve total Prizes in the Giveaways) approximately thirty calendar days after that potential Winner is selected via the process described in these Official Rules, and subject to compliance with these Official Rules after that potential Winner has been notified. At the time of the Giveaways, the twelve Prizes have an approximate average retail value of $67.00 (and thus the twelve Prizes have an approximate total retail value of $800.00). Each Winner is responsible for paying any taxes and fees associated with that Winner’s receipt or use of the Prize. Any and all other costs or expenses associated with the Prize shall be each Winner’s responsibility.
There is a limit of one Prize per person. Entrant expressly agrees and understands that Sponsor is permitted to, and intends to, publicize the full names and other identifying information regarding the Winners on social media and through other means of communication.
5. WINNER NOTIFICATION
(a) If an entrant who entered via Facebook is a potential Winner following the random drawing referenced in Section 4 above, Sponsor will contact the entrant via private Facebook message or other analogous private social messaging, and request the entrant provide Sponsor with a mailing address and other information referenced in Section 5(c) below. If an entrant who entered via Instagram is a potential Winner following the random drawing referenced in Section 4 above, Sponsor will contact the entrant via private Instagram message or other analogous private social messaging, and request the entrant provide Sponsor with a mailing address and other information referenced in Section 5(c) below. All such notifications from Sponsor to the potential Winners will occur within approximately one (1) business day after the daily random drawing referenced in Section 4 above for which the entrant in question was selected, or such other timing that Sponsor will follow in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
(b) If the potential Winner does not reply to Sponsor’s first attempted notification within forty-eight hours, or the potential Winner does reply within that timeframe but does not provide all of the information requested by Sponsor, the Sponsor will attempt one final notification (the second notification overall) using the method of communication used for the first notification (per Section 5(a) above). If the potential Winner does not reply to that second notification within forty-eight hours, or the potential Winner does reply within that timeframe but does not provide all of the information requested by Sponsor, that potential Winner may be disqualified, and in that event, Sponsor will select a new alternate potential Winner by random drawing from all eligible entries received during the applicable Daily Entry Period for which the Prize is being awarded.
(c) Potential Winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules. Winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. Failure to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules will result in the entrant’s disqualification and forfeiture of their Prize (if that entrant is a Winner). Winning is also contingent on the potential Winner providing to Sponsor via direct private message and/or any other method of written communication that Sponsor requires the potential Winner’s full legal name, current residential mailing address, current residential phone number, and any other information regarding the potential Winner’s identity and contact information that Sponsor reasonably requires for purposes of administering the Giveaways, including but not limited to when Sponsor sends the notifications referenced in the two prior paragraphs.
(d) In the event that a potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will select a new alternate potential Winner by random drawing from all eligible entries received during the applicable Daily Entry Period for which the Prize is being awarded. Sponsor may make that disqualification determination for any reason whatsoever in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
(e) Prizes returned as undeliverable or otherwise not claimed will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate Winner. Sponsor intends to award all twelve Prizes. Sponsor will not be responsible, however, if factors beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control prevent all or some of the twelve Prizes from being awarded. In that event, a substitute prize or part of a prize will not be awarded. Prizes cannot be substituted, except as provided herein. Prizes are not transferable or assignable in whole or in part, and must be accepted as awarded with no substitutions, whether in cash or otherwise, except at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Prizes are awarded “as-is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied by Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equivalent value if the Prize cannot be awarded as described for any reason (equivalent value to be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion).
(f) Potential Winners may be required to complete and return an additional affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (the “Affidavit/Release”) within three (3) calendar days of being notified. If a potential Winner fails to sign and return the Affidavit/Release within the required time period, that potential Winner may be disqualified and a new alternate potential Winner will be selected in their place at random from all eligible entries received during the applicable Daily Entry Period for which the Prize is being awarded. Sponsor may make that disqualification decision for any reason whatsoever in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
6. FINAL DECISION
All potential Winners are subject to verification by Sponsor. Each entrant agrees that all decisions by Sponsor regarding the selection of the Winners and all other aspects of the Giveaways are final and binding in all respects, and such decisions may be made by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole discretion for any reason whatsoever.
