3. Means of Entry

There are two means to enter the Sweepstakes:

(a) If during the Entry Period you use the Descartes MacroPoint for Truckers mobile application, either for iOS or for Android, to communicate to the MacroPoint network the departure, arrival, and in-transit location of any single load, you will be automatically entered into the Sweepstakes. Each fully completed load, where location information from departure until arrival has been transmitted through the network, will generate a single entry. You will receive an entry automatically for every load you complete using the Descartes MacroPoint for Truckers app during the Entry Period.

(b) Entries also can be submitted to the Sweepstakes by completing in its entirety the paper ballot located here and sending that completed ballot printed in black lettering on standard “Letter” size (8.5 by 11 inches) plain white paper to:

Unit 190
Independence, Ohio, 44131
United States of America

All paper ballot entries must be postmarked during the Entry Period and received by Sponsor within five (5) days of the end of the Entry Period. Use of any automated system to submit paper ballots is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Incomplete or untimely entries are void and will be ineligible.

Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, postage due, illegible, incomplete, damaged, stolen or misdirected entries; lost, interrupted, or unavailable network, server or other connections; miscommunications, computer or software malfunctions; transmission problems; technical failures; garbled transmissions; damage to user’s software or transmission devices; or other errors or malfunctions of any kind, whether human, mechanical, electronic or otherwise. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working or inactive telephone or SMS text address will be disqualified and ineligible to win. Once submitted, no entry can be returned. All entries once submitted become the property of Sponsor.

4. Prize

Ten (10) prizes of $500 (USD) will be awarded to ten (10) separate prize winners submitting eligible entries during the Entry Period. Each prize will be awarded in the form of a cheque from the Sponsor to the prize winner. The Sponsor is not responsible for and will not replace any lost, stolen, stale-dated, or damaged cheque. Any cheque not deposited after one-hundred and eighty (180) days will be deemed forfeited and the Sponsor will have no further obligation with respect to that prize. All prizes are awarded “as is” and without any warranty of any kind, express or implied.

Each prize winner will be solely responsible for all federal, state, and/or local taxes, or for other fees or costs associated with the prize or the entrant’s receipt of the prize. Each prize winner may be required to provide Sponsor with a valid social security number before the prize is awarded for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in the name of the winner for the value of the prize received. Each prize winner agrees to fully cooperate with Sponsor in providing all necessary information to complete any tax reporting form that may be required by law.

Further, each prize winner will be obligated to complete an affidavit of eligibility (“Affidavit”), including a statement of his or her compliance with the eligibility and other requirements, agreement to be bound by these Sweepstakes Rules, and an agreement to allow Sponsor, and its affiliated entities, to use the potential winner’s name and other identifying information for promotional purposes to the extent allowable by law, and to use the winner’s name and state for identifying the Sweepstakes winners, within one week of notification of being selected as a potential winner.

If any entrant chosen as a potential prize winner does not meet all of these requirements, Sponsor retains the right to select an alternative potential prize winner from the remaining eligible entries.

The prize is not transferable or assignable.

5. Winner Selection and Prize Claiming

Ten (10) separate potential winners will be selected by random drawing, on or about the first business day that occurs after the 6th day of the month after the Entry Period. The potential winners will be contacted by phone or SMS text message, at the discretion of the Sponsor, and asked to confirm their eligibility, acceptance to be bound by these Sweepstakes rules, as well as to confirm their full legal name and a current mailing address. Notification will be deemed to have occurred upon the call being made or the SMS text message being sent.

Potential winners will have 7 days to provide the above requested information from the date of first notification. Failure to provide the above information, or a determination of ineligibility, will result in that potential winner being removed as a potential prize winner of the Sweepstakes and a replacement potential winner will be selected by an additional random draw from the remaining, eligible entries in the Sweepstakes.

Failure to complete and return an Affidavit, if required, will disqualify the potential winner and an alternate potential winner will be selected in their place. The decision of Sponsor as to the selection and eligibility of potential winners will be at the Sponsor’s sole discretion and is final.

The names and state of residence of the winners of the Sweepstakes will be posted by Sponsor to the following publicly available webpage for a period of at least sixty (60) days from the date the winner is selected and confirmed to be eligible for the prize. Entrants understand and agree that the Sponsor may publicize their name and state of residence in this manner and for the specified duration.

6. Odds of Winning

The odds of winning will vary depending on the number of total entries received as well as the number of entries submitted by each individual entrant.

Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision or bar the Sponsor from enforcing that term in the future. Entrant waives any right it may have to claim ambiguity of these Rules or any advantage or effect on interpretation that may arise from such a claim.

8. Disqualifications

If the Sponsor, at its sole discretion, determines that an entrant has or intends to take any action or inaction that is designed to or has the effect of allowing the entrant to cheat, obtain an unfair advantage, to circumvent the Rules, or otherwise interfere in the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes (“Cheating”), the Sponsor may disqualify the entrant from the Sweepstakes as well as other existing or future Sweepstakes that may be offered by Sponsor in the future. Any winner or potential winner determined by Sponsor, at its sole discretion, to have been engaged in or attempted Cheating will be immediately disqualified and will forfeit any right to a prize or be obligated to refund the prize to Sponsor if already awarded. Further, any entrant found by Sponsor, at its sole discretion, to be using this Sweepstake or any part or function of it to engage in or further any criminal enterprise or undertaking, cause moral or reputational harm to the Sponsor, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes and from other existing or future Sweepstakes that may be offered by Sponsor.

10. Communications

At any time, entrant can withdraw or “opt out” of receiving such communications by notifying Sponsor in writing at the address at the bottom of these Rules, or by email to [email protected] with the words “opt out marketing” to remove contact information from Sponsor’s records. Entrants understand that withdrawing consent or opting out of such communications during the Entry Period or subsequently may cause them to be unable to participate fully in this Sweepstakes or to be eligible to be a prize winner.

11. Governing Law and Limitation of Liability

The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Sweepstakes shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in the State of Delaware. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware.
