Employees, directors, officers, and agents of Sponsor, Administrator, and each of their respective parent companies, divisions, dealers, affiliates, subsidiaries, distributors, advertising and promotional agencies and suppliers involved in the Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes Entities”), as well as the members of each of their immediate families (spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) and persons residing in the same household as such individuals are not eligible to enter or win. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor’s decisions and interpretations, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. If an entrant enters the Sweepstakes from a mobile device, the entrant’s wireless service provider may charge the entrant for applicable data charges. Not all mobile telephone/wireless providers carry the service necessary to participate in the Sweepstakes. Entrants should consult their wireless service providers regarding their pricing plans. Message and data rates may apply. Entrants should review their mobile devices’ capabilities for specific app instructions.

3. HOW TO ENTER THE SWEEPSTAKES: During the Sweepstakes Period, an eligible entrant may enter the Sweepstakes by using the following method:

Instagram: An entrant may (i) log on to his/her Instagram account, (ii) follow @SupremeSourcePet account on Instagram (if he/she does not already follow it), and (iii) post one (1) original photograph (“Photo”) or original video (“Video”) depicting a pet with a caption that includes the hashtags #SupremeSourceSweeps to receive one (1) entry (“Instagram Entry”). Note: The Instagram Entry must be a new Instagram post, i.e. the Photo or Video may not have been posted on Instagram prior to the Sweepstakes Periods. Placing the hashtags #SupremeSourceSweeps on an existing Instagram photograph or video posted prior to the start of the Sweepstakes Period will not be considered a valid Instagram Entry. A unique Photo/Video may only be submitted once. If the same Photo/Video is posted more than once, all subsequent Instagram Entries submitted in the Sweepstakes using that same Photo/Video may be void, and the entrant may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, be disqualified.

An entrant must follow @SupremeSourcePet account on Instagram and have a non-private Instagram account to enter the Sweepstakes and maintain such non-private account for at least sixty (60) days after the Sweepstakes Period ends to be eligible to win/claim a prize for potential winner notification purposes. Due to the way Instagram operates its service, Sponsor may not receive Instagram Entries from Instagram users with “protected” updates/private post (i.e., an entrant has set his/her account so that only people the entrant has approved can view his/her updates).

To participate in the Sweepstakes via Instagram, an entrant must already have or create a non-protected Instagram account. An entrant may create an Instagram account at no cost by downloading and installing the Instagram application on his/her mobile device. Use of Instagram will be subject to that service provider’s privacy policy and terms of use, which can be found at: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy. The Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram, and Instagram does not have any responsibility or liability regarding the conduct or administration of the Sweepstakes or prizes. Entrants agree to release Instagram from any and all liability associated with this Sweepstakes.

Instagram Entries are hereinafter referred to individually as an “Entry” and collectively as “Entries”.

By entering the Sweepstakes and using the hashtag #SupremeSourceSweeps, each entrant hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Official Rules. Each entrant hereby understands and agrees that, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, his/her Entry may be posted to Sponsor’s website, Twitter feed, Instagram feed, any of Sponsor’s other social media properties and/or websites, and/or other websites or social media accounts associated with the Sweepstakes or Sponsor. Submitting an Entry constitutes entrant’s grant to Sponsor, its parents and affiliates, and the employees, officers, directors, licensees, designees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Grantees”), of a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, post, distribute, publish or create derivative works from and display the Entry in whole or in part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate it into other works, in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, including for promotional, advertising, public relations, trade show and/or marketing purposes, without further compensation, notification or permissions of any kind except where prohibited by law. If requested, entrant will sign any documentation that may be required for Sponsor or its designees to make use of the nonexclusive rights entrant is granting to use the Entry. This license expressly includes a right (but not the obligation) for Sponsor to modify Entries to remove any third party intellectual property. Sponsor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to edit, composite, morph, scan, duplicate, or alter the Entry for any purpose which Sponsor deems necessary or desirable, and each entrant irrevocably waives any and all so-called moral rights they may have therein. Each entrant hereby acknowledges that such entrant does not reserve any rights in or to the Entry.

Entrants agree that Sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to use and/or otherwise display the Entries as set forth above, and that if such Entries are, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, displayed on any website/social media platform, such Entries may be subject to third party comments that will be publicly viewable, and further, such Entries may also be saved, shared, and/or further e-mailed by such third parties on the internet or otherwise.
