There are a total of one-hundred and seventeen (117) days (each, a “Day”) in the Program Period. For the purposes of this Program, each Day starts at 12:00:00 a.m. ET and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET.
ELIGIBILITY TO MAKE A NOMINATION:
To participate in the Program and make a nomination (a “Nomination”) as a nominator (a “Nominator”), you must be a resident of Canada who: (i) has reached the legal age of majority in your province/territory of residence at the time of participation; or (ii) is between the ages of thirteen (13) and the legal age of majority in your province/territory of residence (each, a “Minor”) – provided your parent/legal guardian has consented to your participation in the Program and has accepted and agreed to be legally bound by these Official Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) on your behalf.
NOTE TO MINORS: Dr. Oetker reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, on a random audit basis to contact a Minor’s parent/legal guardian for the purposes of verifying their: (i) agreement to be legally bound by these Terms on the Minor’s behalf; (ii) consent to the Minor’s participation in this Program; and/or (iii) consent to the collection, use and disclosure of the Minor’s personal information. Failure of a Minor’s parent/legal guardian to complete any such required verification to the complete satisfaction of Dr. Oetker within the time frame specified by Dr. Oetker may, in the sole and absolute discretion of Dr. Oetker, result in disqualification of the Minor (and any associated Nomination or Nominations).
ELIGIBLE NOMINEES:
To participate in the Program and receive a Nomination as a nominee (a “Nominee”), you must be a Canadian minor hockey team (a “Team”) that is recognized by Hockey Canada.
Any and all actions contemplated in these Terms on behalf of a Team that is eligible to win a Prize (as defined below) must be completed by an authorized representative of the Team (each a “Representative”) who: (a) is a resident of Canada; (b) has reached the legal age of majority in their province or territory of residence; (c) resides in Canada during the Program Period and at the time of fulfillment; and (d) is a coach of the Team (a “Coach”) or a spouse/common-law partner of a Coach on the Team, or is the parent/legal guardian of a player (a “Team Member”) on the Team. The Representative will be responsible for completing any and all actions contemplated in these Terms on behalf of a Team that is eligible to win the Grand Prize (as defined below) – including, but not limited to, coordinating with Dr. Oetker (or its designated representative) as it relates to accepting and facilitating Grand Prize fulfillment.
Dr. Oetker reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion at any time, to disqualify any Team if Dr. Oetker determines that allowing the Team to participate in the Program could bring Dr. Oetker into public disrepute or in any way impact the good standing or reputation of Dr. Oetker in the eyes of the general public. Dr. Oetker’s decisions on all matters arising in this regard shall be final and binding without right of appeal.
FOR GREATER CERTAINTY AND THE AVOIDANCE OF ANY DOUBT, THE REPRESENTATIVE IS NOT THE NOMINEE AND HAS NO RIGHT TO PERSONALLY CLAIM THE GRAND PRIZE OR A PORTION THEREOF. THE NOMINEE IN THIS PROGRAM IS THE TEAM.
