Weekly Giveaway — Official Rules

These Official Rules (the “Rules”) govern the Payout Weekly Giveaway (the “Promotion”). By entering, you agree to be bound by these Rules and by the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Promotion. The Promotion is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

1. Sponsor

The Promotion is sponsored by PAYOUT LLC, 1968 S. Coast Hwy #4345, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 (“Sponsor”). The Sponsor is responsible for all aspects of the Promotion, including the awarding of prizes.

2. Eligibility

The Promotion is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years old (or the age of legal majority in their state of residence, whichever is older) at the time of entry. Employees, officers, directors, and agents of Sponsor and its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, and advertising/promotion agencies, and the immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses) and household members of each such person, are not eligible. The Promotion is void in Puerto Rico, all U.S. territories and possessions, and outside the United States, and wherever otherwise prohibited or restricted by law.

3. Promotion Period

The Promotion runs in consecutive weekly entry periods (each, a “Weekly Period”). Each Weekly Period begins Monday at 12:00:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends the following Monday at 12:00:00 a.m. ET. Sponsor’s computer clock is the official timekeeper for the Promotion. Sponsor reserves the right to begin, suspend, modify, or end the Promotion at any time as described in these Rules.

4. How to Enter (No Purchase Necessary)

There are several ways to receive entries during a Weekly Period, all of which are free. No purchase or payment of any kind is required to enter or win, and a purchase or payment will not improve your chances of winning.

• Free weekly entry: During each Weekly Period, tap “Enter” in the Payout app to receive one (1) free entry. Limit one (1) free weekly entry per person per Weekly Period.
• Referral entries: You may receive additional entries when a new, eligible user redeems your referral code, and a new user who redeems a friend’s code may receive entries, as described in the app. Referral codes are personal and may not be sold, traded, posted to coupon/deal sites, or distributed through spam or any deceptive means.
• Stars: You may exchange “Stars” earned for free within the app (for example, through daily check-ins) for additional entries at the rate shown in the app. Stars have no cash value, cannot be purchased, and cannot be redeemed for anything other than as expressly offered in the app.
• Free mail-in entry (AMOE): No referral, share, exchange, or any other action or in-app activity is required to enter or to obtain additional entries. To obtain one (1) entry by mail, hand-print your full name, complete mailing address, email address associated with your Payout account (if any), and date of birth on a 3" × 5" card and mail it in a hand-addressed, stamped #10 envelope to: PAYOUT LLC, Weekly Giveaway AMOE, 1968 S. Coast Hwy #4345, Laguna Beach, CA 92651. Limit one (1) entry per mailing, but you may submit as many separate mailings as you wish; each mail-in entry must be mailed separately. There is no limit on the number of mail-in entries you may submit.

Equal odds. Each entry, regardless of the method by which it was obtained, has an equal chance of being selected in the applicable Weekly Period’s drawing. Mailed entries must be postmarked during the applicable Weekly Period and received within five (5) business days after the close of that Weekly Period to be eligible for that week’s drawing; otherwise they will be entered into the next drawing for which they are timely. Mechanically reproduced, illegible, incomplete, or late entries, and entries submitted in any manner other than as described in these Rules, are void.

5. Entry Conditions

Entries must be submitted by the eligible individual and may not be submitted on behalf of any third party. All entries become the property of Sponsor. Use of any automated system, bot, script, or other fraudulent or deceptive means to enter is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Limit one (1) Payout account per person; entrants found to be using multiple accounts, identities, or addresses to obtain additional entries may be disqualified. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, or undeliverable entries or communications, or for any technical or human errors that may occur in the processing of entries.

6. Prize & Approximate Retail Value

One (1) prize is available per Weekly Period: fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00) in cash, paid electronically via PayPal or Venmo. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prize is $50.00. To receive the prize, the winner must have, or create, a valid PayPal or Venmo account in the winner’s legal name and provide the associated payment handle. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution or cash equivalent is permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable. Limit one (1) prize per person per Weekly Period.

7. Odds of Winning

Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the applicable Weekly Period.

8. Winner Selection & Notification

For each Weekly Period, one (1) potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received during that Weekly Period. The drawing will be conducted on or about the Monday following the close of the Weekly Period by Sponsor or its designee, whose decisions are final. The potential winner will be notified using the contact information associated with their Payout account (or, for mail-in entrants, the email or mailing address provided) within a reasonable time after the drawing.

9. Winner Verification & Forfeiture

A potential winner may be required to verify eligibility and, where lawful, to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and (where permitted) a publicity release, within seven (7) days of notification. If a potential winner cannot be contacted within a reasonable time, fails to respond or return required documents within the stated period, is found to be ineligible, declines the prize, or is otherwise disqualified, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected at random from the remaining eligible entries, time permitting.

10. Taxes

All federal, state, and local taxes and any other costs associated with the acceptance or use of a prize are the sole responsibility of the winner.

11. Publicity

Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes the winner’s consent to Sponsor’s use of the winner’s first name, last initial, and state of residence for promotional purposes in connection with the Promotion, without further compensation, notice, or approval.

12. General Conditions; Right to Cancel or Modify

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion or the app, to be acting in violation of these Rules, or to be acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. If, for any reason, the Promotion is not capable of running as planned — including due to infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other cause beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control — Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, modify, or terminate the Promotion and to select a winner from eligible entries received prior to the action taken, or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate by Sponsor. Any attempt to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Promotion may be a violation of criminal and civil law.

13. Limitation of Liability & Release

By entering, each entrant releases and holds harmless Sponsor and its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Promotion or receipt, use, or misuse of any prize, including without limitation personal injury, death, property damage, and claims based on publicity rights, defamation, or invasion of privacy. The Released Parties are not responsible for any typographical or other error in these Rules or in the announcement or administration of the Promotion, or for any technical malfunction, network, hardware, or software failure, or for incomplete, garbled, or delayed transmissions.

14. Disputes & Governing Law

Except where prohibited, each entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with the Promotion shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the state or federal courts located in the State of California. These Rules and all matters relating to the Promotion are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Entrants waive all rights to claim punitive, incidental, or consequential damages, and any damages other than out-of-pocket expenses.

15. Privacy

Information collected from entrants is subject to Sponsor’s Privacy Policy and will be used in connection with the administration of the Promotion.

16. App Stores

The Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Apple Inc. or Google LLC. By entering, each entrant releases Apple Inc. and Google LLC and acknowledges that any questions, comments, or complaints regarding the Promotion must be directed to Sponsor, not to Apple or Google.

17. Winners List

To request the first name and state of residence of a Weekly Period winner, mail a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: PAYOUT LLC, Weekly Giveaway Winners List, 1968 S. Coast Hwy #4345, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, within ninety (90) days after the close of the applicable Weekly Period.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Rules is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
