The Sponsor and its affiliates are not responsible for, and accept no liability whatsoever in relation to, any late, lost, misdirected, delayed, incomplete, or incompatible entries or communications.
Proof of submission does not constitute proof of receipt.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an entrant, entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the entry.
The Sponsor reserves the right to request additional documentation at any time for verification purposes. Failure to provide such documentation may result in disqualification.
No purchase, payment, or consideration of any kind is required to enter or win. Free entry methods provide the same chance of winning as entries obtained through any other method.
6. WINNER SELECTION, QUALIFICATION & PRIZE FULFILLMENT
GRAND PRIZE: Once one (1) Prize Draw Entry is chosen for the potential winner of the Grand Prize during the Final Draw (see section 4), the participant associated with that Prize Draw Entry will receive an email within 48 hours informing them that they are a Potential Winner and with instructions to complete a Mathematical Skill Testing Question and accept a Declaration and Release form, as required by Canadian law. The Potential Winner must correctly answer, without assistance and within a limited time, the mathematical skill-testing question. Only by completing the Skill Testing Question correctly and accepting the Declaration and Release form within forty-eight (48) hours will a Potential Winner become a Confirmed Grand Prize Winner.
Failure to complete any of the above requirements within the forty-eight (48) hour period will result in disqualification of the selected Entry and the associated Prize will be forfeited by that entrant. In such a case, an alternate Entry will be randomly selected from the pool of remaining eligible non-winning Entries, and the process for notification and qualification will be repeated for the entrant associated with that Entry. This redraw process will continue until a qualified winner is confirmed for the Prize or, at the sole discretion of the Sponsor, the Prize remains unawarded.
By accepting the Grand Prize, the Confirmed Grand Prize Winner agrees to the use of their name, address, voice and/or image by the Sponsor for publicity purposes relating to this Contest without compensation.

ANYONE DEEMED BY THE SPONSOR TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SPONSOR’S INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER AND/OR SPIRIT OF THESE RULES AND CONDITIONS FOR ANY REASON IS SUBJECT TO DISQUALIFICATION IN THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION OF THE SPONSOR AT ANY TIME.
C) Changes to Contest and Rules: Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to withdraw, amend or suspend this Contest (or to amend these Rules) in any way, in the event of any cause beyond the reasonable control of Sponsor that interferes with the proper conduct of this Contest as contemplated by these Rules, including, without limitation, Submissions generated by script, macro, robotic, programmed, or other automated means, any error, problem, computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud or failure of any kind whatsoever. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel, amend or suspend this Contest, or to amend these Rules, in any way without prior notice or obligation, in the event of any accident, printing, administrative, or other error of any kind, or for any other reason whatsoever.
D) Rules Govern: The Contest will be run in accordance with the English Official Rules at the Contest website, which shall prevail, govern and control in the event of any inconsistency with any Contest-related materials including but not limited to French Rules. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the short rules and these Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail and govern. However, in the Province of Quebec, the French version of these Official Rules shall prevail in the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy. Outside the Province of Quebec, the English version of these Official Rules shall govern.
Sponsor’s failure to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If any provision of the Official Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, then the Official Rules shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained therein.
E) Acceptance of Prize as Awarded: The Grand Prize must be accepted as awarded without representation, warranty or guarantee of any kind, and cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. No substitution, conversion to cash, or transfer of the Prize is permitted except that Sponsor may substitute the Prize or a component of the Prize with an item of equal or greater value (based on the approximate retail value of the Prize as stated in the Official Rules), if the Prize or a component of the Prize cannot be awarded as described for any reason. The Prize winner is solely responsible for all costs not expressly described as included herein.
F) Release of Liability: By accepting the Prize, the Confirmed Grand Prize Winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Released Parties if the Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part. Travel arrangements, tickets, accommodations, and any other Prize components shall not be insured and Sponsor shall not assume any liability for lost, damaged or misdirected Prize materials. If the Prize or any component is returned as undeliverable for any reason whatsoever, the winner will forfeit his/her Prize, and the Prize will not be re-awarded nor re-delivered at a later date.
None of the Released Parties make any representation or offer any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability or fitness of the Prize or a component thereof awarded in connection with the Contest. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Confirmed Grand Prize Winner understands and acknowledges that he or she may not seek reimbursement or pursue any legal or equitable remedy from either the Sponsor or any of the Released Parties should the Prize or any portion thereof fail to be fit for its purpose or is in any way unsatisfactory. For greater certainty and the avoidance of any doubt, by accepting the Prize, the Confirmed Grand Prize Winner agrees to waive all recourse against the Released Parties if the Prize or a component thereof does not prove satisfactory, either in whole or in part.
The Released Parties accept no responsibility for, and each entrant releases and holds harmless the Released Parties from and against, any and all losses, damages, actions, demands, liabilities or claims of whatever nature or kind arising out of, or in connection with the Prize or any portion thereof or this Contest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Released Parties will not be responsible for (i) the incorrect or inaccurate capture of entry information; (ii) entries or entrants disqualified for any of these reasons stated in these Official Rules; (iii) any loss, damage, or claims caused by, or in any way related to an awarded Prize or the Contest itself; (iv) any failure of the Contest Website during the Contest Period, howsoever caused, including, without limitation, any human or technical errors or malfunctions, lost, delayed or garbled data, transmissions, omissions, interruptions, deletions, defects or failures of any telephone or computer lines or networks, technical malfunctions or technical errors of any computer on-line systems, servers, access providers, computer equipment, software or any combination thereof, failure of any e-mail or entry to be received on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or at any website, or any combination thereof including, without limitation, any injury or damage to an entrant’s or any other person’s computer related to or resulting from participating in or downloading any material connected to the Contest, all of which may affect a person’s ability to participate in the Contest or be awarded a Prize; (v) any errors, omissions, incorrect or inaccurate information in any Contest-related materials, including, without limitation, printing or advertising errors or the failure of or problems with any equipment or programming associated with or used in the Contest howsoever caused; or (vi) the security or privacy of information transmitted via computer networks or for breaches of privacy due to interference by third party computer “hackers” or otherwise.
G) Disputes Regarding the Identity of an Entrant: In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an entrant, online entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted at the time of entry (or, in the case of Instagram or TikTok-related PIN fulfillment, the authorized account holder of the applicable social media account used in connection with the entry process). “Authorized account holder” is defined as the person who is assigned an e-mail address by an internet provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g. business, educational institute, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address (or, in the case of Instagram or TikTok, the person who is assigned the applicable account by the applicable platform). A selected entrant may be required to provide proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address or social media account associated with the entry to be confirmed a winner.
H) Governing Law: This Contest and these Official Rules are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. For residents of the Province of Quebec, this Contest shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

B. Rights Regarding Your Information
Depending on your jurisdiction (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, the European Union and the United Kingdom), you may have the right, in accordance with applicable data protection laws, to make requests related to your personal information. Specifically, you may have the right to ask us to:

If you are a California resident, please see the “Your California Privacy Rights” section below for more information about our privacy practices and your rights as a California resident. As provided in applicable law, you also have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you.
We take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, verifying your name and email address. If we are unable to verify you, we may be unable to respond to your requests.
You may be able to designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with permission to make such requests. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.

C. Opt Out of Sales of Personal Information and Sharing/Processing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising Purposes
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “sharing/processing of your information for targeted advertising.”
As explained in the “Disclosure of Your Information” section above, we may provide information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes or allow them to collect such information through Cookies. We also may use advertising analytics partners to assist us in analyzing the use of our Services and our user/customer base. Under applicable law, these activities may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the “sharing/processing of personal information for targeted advertising” purposes.
If you would like to opt out of the disclosure of your personal information for purposes that could be considered “sales” for those third parties' own commercial purposes, or “sharing/processing of your information for targeted advertising,” please visit the following link, which is also available in the footer of our website: "Your Privacy Choices." Note that you will need to opt out on each device you use to access the Services and opt out again if you clear your cookies or if your browser is set to automatically do so.
In addition, if you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control Cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs.
Please note that you may still receive advertisements even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertisements will just not be tailored. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
Additional Information for Certain Users Outside the United States
Ferrara® is considered the “data controller” of the personal information we handle under this Policy. In other words, we are responsible for deciding how to collect, use and disclose this information, subject to applicable law. Our contact information appears at the end of this Policy. Residents of certain jurisdictions may be able to request one or more individual rights set forth above under applicable law.
International Transfers
The Services are headquartered in the United States, where we process and store information. We may also store information on servers and equipment in other countries depending on a variety of factors, including the locations of our users and service providers. We will ensure that transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization are subject to appropriate safeguards. By using the Services or otherwise providing information to us, you consent to the processing, transfer, and storage of information in and to the U.S. and other countries, where you may not have the same rights as you do under local law.
Legal Bases
Under the law of certain jurisdictions, such as the European Union, the UK, and Brazil, when we process information in connection the purposes described in this Policy, we rely on legal bases (valid legal reasons) as follows:
- Contract - the processing is necessary for a contract you have with us, such as when you make a purchase under our Terms of Service, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract with us.
- Consent - you have given us clear permission if you are a jurisdiction where such consent is required (such as for marketing). When we rely on this basis you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests - the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. These interest include: providing certain of our services; to understand, develop and improve our services; for fraud prevention and security purposes; for legal claims; and to disclose information to relevant parties such as law enforcement and to respond to legal requests.
- Legal obligation - the processing is necessary for us to keep to any law that applies (not including our obligations under any contract).
- Vital interests - the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life or physical or mental well being.
If applicable, you may make a complaint to the data protection supervisory authority in the country where you are based. Alternatively, you may seek a remedy through local courts if you believe your rights have been breached.
Security
We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.
Retention
We generally retain your information for so long as we determine is relevant to the purposes above. In determining how long to retain information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process the information (as well as the other factors listed above) may dictate different retention periods for the same types of information. If you opt out of email marketing, we maintain your email on our suppression list for an extended time to comply with your request.
To dispose of your information, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
Third Party Links
We are not responsible for content from, or links to, third-party websites and services, including social media platforms, that are outside of our control. This policy does not govern those third parties’ content, services, or use of your information.
Children Under the Age of 13
Our Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Services. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use or provide any information on the Services or through any of its features.

Your California Privacy Rights (Last updated 7-11-2023)
This section provides California residents additional information regarding how we collect, use, and disclose your “personal information” as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Please note the information and the rights discussed below are not applicable to our employees, former employees, candidates, contractors, service providers, or business contacts. We describe the categories of information we collect, our business purposes for collecting such information, the sources and uses of such information and the entities with which we disclose such information in the “Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It”, “How We Use Your Information,” and “Disclosure of Your Information” sections of this policy. We provide additional information required by the CCPA below.
Categories of Personal Information Collected. We collect the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers, such as name, address, phone number, email address and online identifiers.
- Device identifiers, such as IP address.
- Commercial information, such as transaction information and purchase history.
- Internet or network activity information, such as browsing history and interactions with our Services and applications.
- General geolocation data, such as city, state, and zip code.
- User-generated content or feedback that you provide.
- Inferences drawn from any of the personal information listed above to create a profile or summary about, for example, an individual’s preferences and characteristics.
- Login information, such as username and password.
As described above, this information is collected directly from California residents themselves, through automatic data collection technologies, and from third parties.
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information. We may use this personal information to operate, manage, and maintain our business, to provide our Services, and to otherwise accomplish our business purposes and objectives. Our business purposes and objectives include, for example, developing, improving, and maintaining our Services; personalizing, advertising, and marketing our Services; conducting research and data analysis; maintaining our facilities and infrastructure; undertaking quality and safety assurance measures; conducting risk and security control and monitoring; detecting and preventing fraud; performing identity verification; performing accounting, audit, and other internal functions, such as internal investigations; complying with law, legal process, and internal policies; maintaining records; and exercising and defending legal claims. We also may disclose these categories of personal information to third parties, including our affiliates and service providers, for our operational business purposes.
Sale/Sharing of Personal Information. We may engage in targeted (or cross context behavioral) advertising on the Services or on other sites and when we advertise our Services elsewhere. In connection with such advertising, we may share the following categories of information with advertising networks and providers, and social media networks, which may be considered a sale or the sharing/processing of personal information for targeted advertising under California law:
Device Identifiers; internet or other network or device activity (such as browsing history and usage information); hashed contact information.
If you would like to opt out of the disclosure of your personal information for purposes that could be considered “sales” for those third parties' own commercial purposes, or “sharing/processing for purposes of targeted advertising,” please visit the following link, which is also available in the footer of our website: "Your Privacy Choices". Note that for device information and activity you will need to opt out on each device you use to access the Services.
Additional Privacy Rights. If you are a California consumer, you may have the rights in the “Your Rights and Choices” section above.
Additionally, when you sign up for a promotion, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number). Because this involves the collection of personal information, it might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under California law. The value of your personal information to us is related to the value of the free or discounted Services, or other benefits that you obtain or that are provided as part of the applicable promotion.
The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note, in the limited circumstances that we process sensitive personal information (such as usernames in combination with passwords) as defined in the CCPA, we do not use or disclose it other than for disclosed and permitted business purposes for which there is not a right to limit under the CCPA.
Retention. We generally retain your information for so long as we determine is relevant to the purposes above. In determining how long to retain information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process the information (as well as the other factors listed above) may dictate different retention periods for the same types of information. If you opt out of email marketing, we maintain your email on our suppression list for an extended time to comply with your request.
To dispose of your information, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
Shine the Light. California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of “personal information” (as defined by that law) to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not provide such information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. You can opt out of the sale and share of information for targeted advertising purposes as described above.
