As a condition of winning, selected entrants must correctly answer, without assistance and within a set timeframe, a skill-testing mathematical question which will be administered by a Square One representative by phone.

c. In the event: (i) any entry is deemed ineligible or disqualified; (ii) an entrant fails to comply with the Contest Terms and Conditions; (iii) a selected entrant fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question as prescribed; (iv) a selected entrant has not contacted Square One within 48 hours after Square One provides email notification to such entrant of the entrant’s winning entry, or the entrant’s email returns as undeliverable; (v) a selected entrant has already won a prize from the Contest; or (vi) a selected entrant refuses the prize, Square One may disqualify such entrant who will no longer be eligible for a prize, and randomly select further entrants from the remaining eligible entries until a winner is finally declared.

Prizes

a. There are eleven (11) entrants to be declared winners, with a total of twenty-two (22) prizes available to be won, as follows: The eleven prizes are ten (10) Google Nest Minis, and one (1) iPad Air. The eleven winners will each receive one of the eleven prizes, and such prizes will be allocated randomly by computer-generated draw. Each winner’s Referred Customer will also receive an identical prize to the winner, provided that in the event a winner has more than one Referred Customer, only one Referred Customer will be selected for the prize by random computer-generated draw. The approximate retail value of the Google Nest Mini is $69.00 CAD, and the approximate retail value of the iPad Air is $999.00 CAD.

b. Odds of winning a prize will vary depending upon the number of Contest entries, and an entrant’s number of Referred Customers. Entrants with greater numbers of Referred Customers have a greater chance of winning.

c. Square One may, in its sole discretion, substitute for any prize its cash value or another prize of approximately the same value. Prizes are non-transferable, must be accepted as awarded and cannot be exchanged by a winner for cash or other substitutes. The refusal by an entrant to accept any prize releases and forever discharges Square One from all obligations to that entrant in connection with the Contest, including delivery of any prize.

How to claim a prize

a. Within 48 hours from receipt, the entrant must sign and return to Square One a declaration and release form (the “Declaration Form”) which confirms the winner’s compliance with the Contest Rules, acceptance of the prize as awarded, agreement not to defame or publish negative or disparaging comments regarding the Contest, Square One, its affiliates and subsidiaries, or any advertising or promotional agencies providing services with respect to the Contest, and releasing Square One, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and representatives (including advertising and promotional agencies providing services with respect to the Contest), and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, successors, and assigns, from all liability relating to the Contest. Failure to return a signed copy of the Declaration Form as prescribed will disqualify the selected entrant and forfeit their right to a prize.

b. The prizes will be sent to the winners by mail to their address within two (2) weeks following return of a duly completed Declaration Form. If any prize is returned, it will not be awarded again.

General

a. The decisions of Square One in all matters relating to the Contest are final.

b. In the event of a dispute, entries will be deemed to be submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the Square One policy account. All entries are subject to verification at any time and for any reason, including, without limitation, Square One requiring proof of identity and/or eligibility in a form acceptable to Square One for the purposes of verifying identity and/or eligibility to participate in this Contest, and for any other reason Square One may determine, in its sole discretion, as necessary to administer this Contest in accordance with the Contest Terms and Conditions. Failure to provide such proof in a timely manner may result in disqualification of the entrant.

d. Square One reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to amend, cancel, close, suspend or reinstate the Contest at any time and for any reason whatsoever.

e. Entries are subject to verification by Square One or its representatives. Entries which are incomplete, fraudulent, submitted late, or that are otherwise not in compliance with the Contest Terms and Conditions, will be automatically rejected and disqualify such entrants to a prize, and may disqualify the entrant from participating in future contests and promotions.

By participating, each entrant agrees: (i) to be bound by these Contest Terms and Conditions and by Square One’s decisions; (ii) to permit Square One, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and representatives to use the entrant’s name, photograph, image, video footage, likeness, declarations related to the Contest or prize, city of residence and/or voice for publicity purposes in any media, in any language, anywhere in the world, for an unlimited period of time, without any further compensation; and (iii) to sign and return to Square One a Declaration Form to this effect.

g. If a section of the Contest Terms and Conditions is declared or deemed illegal, unenforceable, or invalid by a competent court, that section will be considered invalid, but the remaining sections will remain in force. In the event of any conflict between the Contest’s short-form terms and conditions and the long-form Terms and Conditions herein, the long-form Terms and Conditions will prevail.
