Eligibility and Rules
Eligibility
Prize winners must be U.S. residents at least 18 years of age who have made one or more qualifying contribution of at least $20 each to Knife Rights, Inc. (“KR”) during the eligibility period. Winners of firearms or knives must not be prohibited from owning or possessing them under applicable laws.
No more than three (3) prizes will be awarded to any one person in each drawing (Early Bird Bonus and Main Drawings). You can donate as often as you like, but each donation is separate and independent from previous donations and will only entitle you to the number of entries specified at the donation level you have selected at the time of each donation. Each donation must include full name, donation amount, address and phone number to be valid. Winners need not be physically present at the drawing to win.
Firearms will not be shipped directly to winners, but rather to Federal Firearms Licensees (“FFLs”) specified by winners (or selected by KR, in KR’s sole discretion). Winners can only take possession of firearms from the FFLs. Automatic knives will not be shipped directly to winners unless a legal recipient under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1241-1245 and 18 U.S.C. § 1716(g), but rather to an authorized dealer in eligible winner’s state from which winner can claim prize.
Winners must comply with all applicable legal requirements prior to taking possession of firearms or knives. Winners are solely responsible for determination of legality. If for some reason winners cannot comply, prizes will be held for 30 days and then will be forfeited and returned to KR. Winners of firearms are responsible for shipping charges, transfer fees to FFLs and any other applicable fees and may be required to prepay such expenses by valid credit card or other method to be determined in KR’s sole discretion. All prizes other than firearms will be shipped at KR’s expense via a shipping method of KR’s choice, signature required, to the addresses provided by winners, insured. If delivery is not completed on original shipment, regardless of fault, winner is responsible for any redelivery charges. KR is not responsible for lost, damaged, stolen or undelivered prizes, and winners agree to look solely to insurance with regard to same. Risk of loss or damage is solely with winners.
Some prizes are subject to additional limitations that are included in prize description. Claim to prizes is not transferrable. The odds of winning varies based on the number of donations and amounts donated. Winners will be drawn on or after August 1, 2014. Early Bird winners will be drawn on or after May 12, 2014. A minimum of the first 50 winners drawn in both the Early Bird and main drawings will have first choice of prizes available after any prior winner(s) have selected, in the order in which such winners were drawn (“Winner’s Choice”). At KR’s option, additional Winner’s Choice prizes may be awarded. Accordingly, the final announcement of winners may take up to 90 days post drawing.
KR will attempt to notify all Winner’s Choice winners using the contact information supplied. Any prize not claimed by a Winner’s Choice winner within 48 hours from KR’s first attempt to notify the winner will be forfeited and all other winners drawn will move up one place in priority. If a Winner’s Choice winner that does not respond within the 48 hours later contacts KR, they will be offered the choice of prizes then currently available if within the Winner’s Choice draws. Otherwise, that winner will be placed in original drawn priority for prize selection by KR as a post-Winner’s Choice draw.
All entries and donations are non-refundable and will become the sole property of KR once submitted. Acceptance of a prize constitutes winners’ permission for KR to use winner’s name and likeness for KR promotional purposes without additional consideration. If payment of any donation is rejected, denied, returned for insufficient funds, or otherwise not made, and the responsible party does not subsequently make full payment plus processing fees of $25.00 that clears no later than 7 days prior to drawing, the entries related to that donation will be removed from the drawing.
Winners of “Early Bird” prizes are eligible for (and their winning ticket will be automatically entered in) the main drawing. Once an individual winner has been selected as a prize winner in the main drawing, that winning ticket is removed from subsequent drawings. There is no cash substitution for any prizes.
Winners Choice winners will be notified using the contact information supplied and informed how to claim prizes. Only those named as the entrant on a valid winning entry form are eligible to claim a prize, and such persons may be required to provide proof of identification acceptable to KR in KR’s sole discretion. KR shall not be liable for failure of notification arising from incorrect or illegible contact information supplied, or email or voice mail induced failures, or failure of entrants to respond to communications (or failure of KR to actually receive such responses regardless of cause) within 48 hours of KR’s first attempt to notify the winners. KR’ obligation is limited to making good faith efforts to notify winners. Once all winners are drawn and notified, names of winners (given name initial and surname) will be posted at the Knife Rights Ultimate Steel web site: www.KnifeRights.org/UltimateSteel.
All prize winners are subject to applicable drawing procedures, restrictions, rules, directives, applicable laws and regulations, and are solely responsible for all applicable taxes, fees, assessments and charges relating to the prizes.
Your participation in this fundraiser (including without limitation the act of submitting a donation and/or winning a prize) signifies and is conditioned upon your acknowledgement, agreement, covenant, representation and warranty to KR, based on good and valuable consideration, receipt of which you acknowledge, that (i) KR, its officers, directors, affiliates, professionals, personnel, representatives and members (collectively, “KR Affiliates”) shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with this fundraiser, the prizes (or their acceptance, possession, use, or misuse), or anything arising out of or relating thereto; (ii) you waive and release any and all claims you may now or ever have against KR Affiliates; and (iii) you will not make any claims against KR affiliates and shall be estopped from so doing.
