1.
How to Enter. These Official Rules apply to the Still Alice Movie Twitter Giveaway ("Promotion") conducted
by (“Sponsor”) via tweets at [https://twitter.com/#!/simonschuster]
(each a "Sponsor’s Tweet").
Each Sponsor Tweet will identify:
(a) the applicable prize available; (b) the number of such
prizes to be awarded. Promotion will commence at the time of such Sponsor
Tweet. To enter, entrants must have a Twitter account (which is free). Winners
will be randomly selected. Once the one (1)
prize has been successfully awarded and claimed, the Promotion will be
over, and no other prizes will be awarded in response to the Promotion. All
entrants must have a valid email address. Response tweets must not include any
unsuitable content, including but not limited to, language and/or materials
that are lewd or profane; violent or promote violence; disparaging of any
product, company or person; dangerous, hateful, or defamatory; promote bigotry,
racism, or harm against a group or individual or promote discrimination; or
material that is unlawful or in violation of or contrary to the laws or
regulations in any state, or otherwise objectionable in Sponsor's sole
discretion. Response tweets including such content will be disqualified, as
determined solely by Sponsor.
Limit:
Enter as often as you like, but only one prize per Promotion will be awarded
per entrant. If you post updates to or receive updates from twitter.com via SMS
from your wireless phone, your wireless-service provider may charge you for
each text message you send and receive. Please consult your wireless-service
provider regarding its pricing plans. You must be an active holder of a
non-private Twitter account and be a follower of the @simonschuster
account to be eligible to enter this Promotion. All terms and conditions of Twitter.com apply. Multiple entrants
are not permitted to share the same twitter account. Any attempt by y entrant
to obtain more than the stated number of prizes per Promotion by using
multiple/different twitter accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or
any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be
disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will
result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any Twitter
account, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register at
twitter.com will be deemed to be the entrant. The "authorized account
holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet
access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for
assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted
address. Each potential winner may be
required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
