NORMS Sweepstakes Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.
By participating in the Sweepstakes, you agree to be fully and unconditionally bound by these Sweepstakes Rules and the associated Specific Promotion, and you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements set forth herein. You further agree to accept the decisions of NORMS as final and binding.
1. General Rules. These Sweepstakes Rules apply generally to any sweepstakes promotion (each, a “Sweepstakes”) sponsored by NORMS Restaurant, LLC (“NORMS”). Specific details related to entry, prizes, and other special terms for any specific sweepstakes promotion (“Specific Promotion”) will be digitally posted on the associated Sweepstakes announcement (e.g., webpage, social media post, etc.) (“Giveaway Announcement”) for the Specific Promotion and will outline any additional information or special notices relating to the Sweepstakes.
2. Eligibility. Unless otherwise noted in the Specific Promotion, the Sweepstakes are open and offered only to legal residents of California and Nevada who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence at the time of entry. You must have internet access, and for certain promotions you must have a mobile device prior to the start of the Specific Promotion. Employees of NORMS and their immediate families (e.g., parent, child, sibling, or spouse) and/or household members of respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, sales representatives, advertising and promotional agencies, and any other person or entities associated with the Specific Promotion are not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes.
3. Sponsor. All Sweepstakes are sponsored by NORMS Restaurant, LLC. Additional sponsors, if any, will be noted in the Specific Promotion.
4. Sweepstakes Period. All Specific Promotions shall include an end date on the Giveaway Announcement (the “Sweepstakes End Date”). All entries must be received by the Sweepstakes End Date and time to be eligible to win, according to NORMS’ time clock. The end time, unless otherwise noted, shall always be 11:59 PM Pacific Time, regardless of Daylight Savings Time, according to NORMS’ internal time clock. NORMS is not responsible for any misdirected or otherwise late entries.
5. How to Enter. The method of entry is specific to each Sweepstakes and shall be described in the Specific Promotion. Only the entry method specified in the Specific Promotion is allowed. All other entries will be disregarded.
6. Limitations. Unless otherwise noted, only one (1) entry is allowed per natural person per Specific Promotion. A change in this limit, if any, will be set forth in the Specific Promotion. Attempts to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different emails, identities, registrations, logins, or any other method to circumvent this limitation shall void that entrant’s entries and the entrant may be disqualified. Use of automated systems to participate is prohibited and may result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized holder of the account, email, or other information used to enter into the Sweepstakes will be deemed to be the entrant. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
7. Odds of Winning. The winner(s) of the Sweepstakes will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received before the Sweepstakes End Date. Therefore, the odds of winning will depend on the number of eligible entries received before the Sweepstakes End Date and the number of prizes available.
8. Winner Selection and Notification. Winners will be notified in a manner consistent with the method of entry used to enter into a Specific Promotion. NORMS’ decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Promotion, NORMS will select winners within three (3) weeks following the end of the Sweepstakes Period. Unless otherwise specified in the Specific Promotion, winners will have seventy-two (72) hours to respond to notifications stating they won and claim the prize. An entrant’s failure to respond to the notification within the relevant timeframe may result in prize forfeiture. NORMS is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive notification for any reason, including inactive email account(s), technical difficulties, or a winner’s failure to adequately monitor the relevant communication methods. No transfer, cash equivalent, or other substitution of any prize is permitted except Sponsor may substitute prize in whole or in part for one of comparable or greater retail value for any reason.
The potential winner may also be sent a declaration or eligibility, release of liability, and publicity release (the “Release”). Unless restricted by law, the potential winner may be required to complete and return the Release within five (5) days from the date of notification.
If a potential winner fails to provide all necessary documentation and responses pursuant to these Sweepstake Rules or the applicable Specific Promotion or cannot receive the prize for any reason or is otherwise disqualified for any reason, NORMS may select alternative winner(s) among the remaining eligible entries and begin the prize granting process with those alternative winner(s).
Prizes will be fulfilled as soon as reasonably possible after the conclusion of the Sweepstakes and the winner(s) have satisfied their obligations hereunder.
9. Publicity. By submitting an entry to the Sweepstakes, the entrant irrevocably grants, except where prohibited by law, NORMS and their respective successors, assigns, and licensees, the right to use the entrant’s name, persona, biographical information (e.g., hometown), likeness, and opinions in any and all media for any purpose, including without limitation, commercial, advertising, and promotional purposes, as well as, on, or in connection with the NORMS website or social media accounts. As a condition of being awarded any prize, except where prohibited by law, each winner may (in NORMS’ discretion) be required to execute a written consent, confirming NORMS’ right to use such winner’s name, likeness, persona, hometown, etc., without further permission or compensation. The entrant hereby releases NORMS from any liability with respect thereto, unless prohibited by law.
10. General Conditions. NORMS reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, or any other factor beyond NORMS’ reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, as determined by NORMS in its sole discretion. Such force majeure conditions include without limitation weather-related malfunctions, communication malfunctions, pandemic, mail delivery delays, and other issues. NORMS reserve the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Sweepstakes Rules or the Specific Promotion, or otherwise acting in a disruptive or unsportsmanlike manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of applicable law, and should such an attempt be made, NORMS reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
