The Air New Zealand KiWeets Game Promotion
Official Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
Promotion may only be entered in or from the 50 United States (excluding New York, Rhode Island, and Florida), the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) and entries originating from any other jurisdiction are not eligible for entry. This Promotion is governed exclusively by the laws of the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec). You are not authorized to participate in the Promotion if you are not located within the United States (excluding New York, Rhode Island, and Florida) or Canada (excluding Quebec).
1. How to Enter. During the Promotion Period, visit Sponsor Twitter page www.twitter.com/kiweets (“Sponsor’s Twitter Page”) or www.kiweets.com (“Sponsor’s Site”) to receive instructions on how to enter the Promotion. One (1) trivia question (“Daily Trivia Question”) will be posted simultaneously on Sponsor’s Twitter Page and on the Sponsor’s Site each Promotion Day (as defined below). Each Daily Trivia Question will be posted only once a Promotion Day, but at various times throughout the Promotion Period, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. To be eligible for a Daily Prize (as defined below) or to earn Trivia Points (as defined below) for the Grand Prize, you must correctly answer the Daily Trivia Question by publicly replying to @kiweets on Twitter. If you do not have a Twitter account, visit www.twitter.com to create one. Twitter accounts are free. Entrants consent to their Twitter user name and profile image posted on wwww.kiweets.com. To be eligible for the Daily Prize Drawing and/or the Grand Prize , you must un-check ‘protect my tweets’ within your Twitter account settings prior to playing.
A) Daily Prizes: Each eligible entrant who correctly answers that Promotion Day’s Daily Trivia Question by replying to @kiweets on Twitter will be eligible for that Promotion Day’s random drawing (“Daily Drawing”). The Daily Drawing will take place the day after that Promotion Day has ended on or about 9:00am PT. Non-winning entries will not carry over to subsequent Promotion Days. One (1) winner will be selected in each Daily Drawing (each a “Daily Winner”) for a total of twenty nine (29) Daily Winners throughout the Promotion Period. Odds depend on the number of entrants who correctly respond to the Daily Trivia Question on that Promotion Day.
B) Grand Prize Game: Entrants will earn points (“Trivia Points”) for correctly answering each Daily Trivia Question and, in some instances, based on speed of response. Timing of responses will be determined based on when the Daily Trivia Question is posted and not when entrant logs on to Sponsor’s Twitter Page. The entrant with the most Trivia Points at the end of the Promotion Period will be the Grand Prize winner (“Grand Prize Winner”). One (1) Grand Prize Winner throughout entire Promotion Period. Trivia Points will be awarded as follows: Each entrant has the ability to win up to a maximum of 400 points each Promotion Day. Each entrant automatically earns 100 points for answering the Daily Trivia Question correctly. Additional bonus points, up to a maximum of 300 bonus points, will be awarded each Promotion Day, depending on speed of response within the first 5 hours (300 minutes) of posting the Daily Trivia Question. The additional bonus points are calculated by subtracting one point per minute from the maximum 300 bonus points available, after the Daily Trivia Question has been posted. For example, if the Daily Trivia Question is posted at 1:00 pm PT and is answered correctly at 1:05 pm PT, that entrant would receive 100 points for the correct answer and an additional 295 points for answering within 5 minutes after posting of the Daily Trivia Question for a total of 395 points. Entrants will be contacted via a Twitter “Direct Message” from Sponsor at the end of each Promotion Week regarding their Trivia Point standings. Entrants may also see Trivia Point standings on Sponsor’s site. In the event of a tie, Grand Prize Winner will be determined based on accuracy and speed of response to the final Daily Trivia Question.
Limit one (1) Daily Drawing entry per person, per Twitter account, per Promotion Day. You may respond to the Daily Trivia Question as often as you like but, if you answer correctly, you will receive only one (1) entry into the Daily Drawing. You will also only receive Trivia Points for your first correct response to the Daily Trivia Question. If you post updates to or receive updates from twitter.com via SMS from your wireless phone, your wireless-service provider may charge you for each text message you send and receive. Please consult your wireless-service provider regarding its pricing plans. You must be an active holder of a non-private Twitter account to be eligible to enter this Promotion. All terms and conditions of Twitter.com apply. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same twitter account. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different twitter accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any Twitter account, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register at twitter.com will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
