b. Enter by Mail-in: To enter without making an Afterpay purchase, print your name, address, phone numbers, email address, and date of birth on a piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to “Afterpay Holiday Giveaway,” c/o Merkle Inc., P.O. Box 5022, Department 850735, Kalamazoo, MI 49003-5022 and include the Weekly Entry Period on the outside of the envelope (e.g. Week 1). You will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period drawing identified on your envelope and one (1) entry into the Grand Prize drawing so long as it is received prior stated drawing dates for the Weekly drawing. Limit: One (1) entry per mail-in request. All mail-in entries must be handwritten and must be postmarked by December 10, 2021 and received by December 17, 2021. All entries become the exclusive property of Sponsor and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified.  

Limit: You may receive up to fifty (50) entries each Weekly Entry period by any combination of entry methods. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, AfterPay accounts, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” 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.

5. Prize Drawing and Winner Requirements: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Weekly Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries received during the applicable Weekly Entry Period, on or around the dates set forth in the chart in Section 3. Non-winning entries for the Weekly Entry Period drawings will not be included in subsequent Weekly Entry Period drawings. Administrator will randomly select the potential Grand Prize winners from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or around January 4, 2022 the dates set forth in the chart in Section 3. All potential winners will be notified by email. The potential Grand Prize winners will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver and where not prohibited a Publicity Release ("Declaration") which must be received by Administrator within four (4) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration or provide any other requested information within the required time period (as applicable), or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner forfeits the prize or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.
