ELIGIBILITY: The “Stash Stars and Stocks Stock Party Sweepstakes” (the “Sweepstakes”) is offered by Stash Investments LLC (“Stash”), an affiliate of Stash Financial, Inc. Stash is not a bank or depository institution licensed in any jurisdictions. Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico who are at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of entry (“Entrants”). Void in all U.S. territories and possessions and where prohibited by law. This Sweepstakes is governed by U.S. law and is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Entrants may be required to meet certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, 15 U.S.C. ¬ß 80b-1, and the rules thereunder. Entrants must have Internet access in order to enter the Sweepstakes. Each Entrant must be the rightful owner (or have authorized use) of the e-mail address identified in the Entrant’s entry and/or the Entrant’s Stash Invest Account (as defined below). Stash will use commercially reasonable efforts to exclude employees of Stash, and its respective affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies and members of the immediate family or household of each, from being eligible to win prizes under this Sweepstakes. Immediate family member is defined as a parent, sibling or any person residing in the same household as an employee. Stash will be referred to herein as “Sponsor.” For purposes of this Sweepstakes, a “Stash Invest Account” is an individual taxable brokerage account advised by Sponsor that is in good standing. Sponsor reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether a Stash Invest Account is closed and/or in good standing. An account in good standing for purposes of this Sweepstakes is an account for which all required account opening documentation has been completed and verified, and is not locked, or restricted, or otherwise flagged in any way. If an Entrant’s Stash Invest Account is closed or not in good standing for any reason at any time, you may no longer be eligible to participate in this Sweepstakes and any prizes you win in accordance with these rules may be forfeited.

 

TIMING: Sweepstakes begins on November 2, 2020 at 4:00:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) and ends on November 2, 2020 at 11:59:59 PM EST (the ”Promotion Period”).

 

TWO (2) WAYS TO ENTER: (A) Successfully Claim Your Stock at the Stash Stock Party: To earn one (1) Entry into the Sweepstakes, Entrants must complete the following steps during the Promotion Period: (i) visit https://party.stash.com/, and (ii) successfully claim a “Stock Reward” by completing either set of eligibility steps needed to become an “Eligible Rewards Recipient” during the Stash Stock Party offered by Sponsor on November 2, 2020, which is governed by the Stash Stars and Stocks Stock Party Rewards Program Terms and Conditions (the “Stock Party Terms”) and the interactive instructions displayed at https://party.stash.com/, and (iii) adhere to the Stock Party Terms and meet the eligibility requirements set forth therein. The terms “Stock Reward” and “Eligible Rewards Recipient” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Stock Party Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Entrant fails to complete either set of eligibility steps required to claim a “Stock Reward” during the Stash Stock Party offered by Sponsor on November 2, 2020 in strict accordance with the Stock Party Terms, then such Entrant will not receive an Entry into the Sweepstakes via this entry method; or (B) FREE Entry Method: To enter without successfully claiming a “Stock Reward” during the Stash Stock Party offered by Sponsor on November 2, 2020 in accordance with the Stock Party Terms, Entrants will be required to complete and submit one (1) designated online survey during the Promotion Period to earn one (1) Entry into the Sweepstakes by visiting the following link: https://forms.gle/uT74WSiAxVPRvPZV9. A valid entry via this method of entry consists of a complete online entry form in its entirety. Each Entrant may submit up to one (1) designated online survey during the Promotion Period to earn up to a total of one (1) Entry into the Sweepstakes.

See the full Stock Party Terms referenced above, which you agreed to when you joined that program, for important disclosures about that program. The Stock Party Terms Terms are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as though fully set forth herein. 

Limit up to one (1) Entry per Entrant during the Promotion Period, regardless of Entry Method. No responsibility is assumed by Sponsor for lost, late, misdirected, incomplete or stolen entries or for any computer, online, telephone or technical malfunctions that may occur. Sponsor may reject any Entry it believes is the result of fraud or was submitted in violation of these official rules. Stash Retire (Traditional IRA and Roth IRA) and Stash Custodial Accounts are not eligible under this Sweepstakes.

RANDOM DRAWINGS/SELECTION OF WINNERS: Sponsor will conduct up to twenty (20) random drawings in accordance with the table outlined below (each, a “Random Drawing” and collectively, the “Random Drawings”). One (1) Grand Prize Winner will be selected at each Random Drawing conducted from among all eligible Entries, regardless of Entry Method, received from the start of the Promotion Period up until the exact time that the Entry Period threshold corresponding to such Random Drawing is met, as further described below. A total of up to twenty (20) Grand Prize Winners may be selected during the Promotion Period. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible Entries, regardless of Entry Method, received from the start of the Promotion Period up until the exact time that each corresponding Entry Period threshold is met. Each Random Drawing will be conducted by Sponsor whose decisions are final and binding in connection with this Sweepstakes.

Sponsor will only conduct each Random Drawing when the corresponding amount of Eligible Rewards Recipients that have satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in the Stock Party Terms during the Stash Stock Party offered by Sponsor on November 2, 2020 meet the following entry period thresholds:

For the avoidance of doubt, if there are not enough “Eligible Rewards Recipients” that have satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in the Stock Party Terms during the Stash Stock Party offered by Sponsor on November 2, 2020 to satisfy  one or more of the thresholds listed above, then Stash will not conduct that corresponding Random Drawing or any Random Drawing(s) that follow and not all prizes hereunder will be rewarded. Entrants acknowledge that there is no guarantee that any “Eligible Rewards Recipient” threshold listed above will be met during the Promotion Period, and as a result one or more prizes may not be rewarded hereunder and one or more Random Drawings may not occur under this Sweepstakes.

Once each Random Drawing is conducted, Sponsor will select a Grand Prize Winner from all eligible Entries, regardless of Entry Method, received from the start of the Promotion Period up until the exact time that the Entry Period threshold corresponding to such Random Drawing is met. For example, once there are 40,000 Eligible Rewards Recipients that have satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in the Stock Party Terms during the Stash Stock Party offered by Sponsor on November 2, 2020, then Stash will draw one Grand Prize Winner from all eligible Entries, regardless of Entry Method, received as of the exact time that the 40,000th Eligible Rewards Recipient satisfied such eligibility requirements. All eligible Entries from any prior Random Drawing will carry over into any subsequent Random Drawing that occurs, provided, however, that each Entrant is limited to one (1) Grand Prize hereunder. 

 

ONE (1) GRAND PRIZE AND ITS APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”) WILL BE AWARDED IN EACH RANDOM DRAWING: One (1) Grand Prize Winner will be selected in each Random Drawing, and each Grand Prize Winner will receive a one-time deposit of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) directly into the cash balance of each Grand Prize Winner’s Stash Invest Account, or, if the Grand Prize Winner does not have a Stash Invest Account, a check in the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250). ARV of each Grand Prize: $250. ARV of all Grand Prizes: up to $5,000. TOTAL ARV OF ALL PRIZES AWARDED DURING THE PROMOTION PERIOD: up to $5,000. Limit one (1) Grand Prize per Entrant during the Promotion Period. ALL EXPENSES, TAXES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF PRIZE NOT SET FORTH IN THESE RULES ARE THE OBLIGATION OF THE WINNERS. Prize substitutions are not allowed. Prizes cannot be assigned or transferred, except at the discretion of Sponsor. Prizes are awarded WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND from Sponsor, express or implied, without limitation.

 

GENERAL: The Grand Prize Winners will each be notified by Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee, by email and telephone within approximately five (5) days of each Random Drawing. The Grand Prize Winners will each be required to complete, sign, execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability, a Liability Release, and where legal, a Publicity Release and an IRS W2 Form including the Grand Prize Winner’s social security number within five (5) days of first attempted notification. If Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee is unable to contact any Grand Prize Winner after reasonable effort, or if any Grand Prize Winner fails to respond within five (5) days of first attempted notification, that prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate Grand Prize Winner in a random drawing from among all remaining eligible Entries, regardless of Entry Method, received during the Promotion Period. If any Grand Prize Winner fails to provide Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee with his/her/their social security number, that prize winner will be disqualified and that prize will be awarded to an alternate Grand Prize Winner in a random drawing from among all remaining eligible Entries, regardless of Entry Method, received during the Promotion Period.
