2. Eligibility. The Fairfax Cryobank Contest (“Contest”) is open to all legal residents of the United States and the District of Columbia, age 18 years or older, who have internet access as of May 3, 2016. Employees, immediate family members of employees and members of the household of employees of the Genetics & IVF Institute, Inc., including its subsidiaries and divisions (“Sponsor”), are not eligible. By entering the Contest, participants accept and agree to be bound by these Official Rules and Regulations (“Rules”).
3. Sponsor. Sponsor is the sponsor of the Contest. The Contest is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Facebook.
4. Promotional Period. The Contest will be open for entries from 12:01 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2016, until 5:00 p.m. EDT on May 17, 2016 (“Promotional Period”).
5. How to Enter. To enter the Contest, a participant must, during the Promotional Period: (a) write a brief story about a special or memorable moment involving the participant’s mother, or experienced by the participant as a mother; and (b) post the story and a relevant photo on the Fairfax Cryobank Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fairfax.cryobank), using the hashtag #FFXMommy16. The Sponsor reserves the right to remove and disqualify any entry that it determines in its sole discretion is offensive or profane, or likely to infringe on the intellectual property rights of a third party.
6. How to Win. Visitors to the Fairfax Cryobank Facebook page will have the opportunity to “like” their favorite entries (story and photo) during the Promotional Period. The 10 entries with the most “likes” will be entered into a drawing. Five winners will be drawn at random, and the participants who posted them will each receive a prize. The Sponsor’s finding that an entry is a winner will be final. Prizes are limited to one per household, and to the winner meeting the Contest eligibility criteria. If any of the original 5 winning entries or the people who posted them are disqualified, then the entry with the next highest number of “likes” will be the winner, and so on, until the Sponsor has identified 5 eligible winners. The winning entries will be identified on the Fairfax Cryobank Facebook page, and the Sponsor will notify the winners through Facebook. Winners must respond to the notification that they have won within 5 days of the notification, or they will be disqualified. The odds of winning depend on the total number of entries submitted and the number of “likes” they receive.
