1. Eligibility. The “Sweepstakes” is open only to legal residents of one (1) of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or have reached the age of majority in their state of residence (whichever is older) at the time of entry. Employees, officers and directors of Affirm, Inc. (“Sponsor”, “us” or “we”), its/their affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, distributors and other prize suppliers (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Entities”), and their respective immediate family members, are not eligible. All potential entrants must qualify for and complete Sponsor’s short online survey (the “Survey”) in order to be eligible to enter, as explained more fully below.  Those who do not qualify to complete the Survey are ineligible for this Sweepstakes.

2. How to Enter. To enter, click on the Survey link in a Sweepstakes invitation from Sponsor, confirm you are qualified to participate in Sponsor’s short online Survey, complete the Survey by fully answering all questions as prompted, confirm your email address and provide all requested contact/personal information and click submit.  All Entries must be submitted between 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time (“PT”) on [12/18/2024] and 11:59 p.m. PT on [12/30/2024] (“Sweepstakes Period”).  Sponsor’s Website computer will be the official time clock for the Sweepstakes.  Limit one (1) Entry per person/e-mail address during the Sweepstakes Period.  Any attempt by any person to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email accounts, or any other methods will void all of that person’s entries and that person will be disqualified.  Entries generated by a script, computer programs, macro, programmed, robotic or other automated means are void and may be disqualified. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, corrupted, or misdirected entries. By participating in the Sweepstakes, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these “Official Rules” and the decisions of Sponsor, including the interpretation of these Official Rules and its exercise of discretion, which will be final and binding in all respects. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, Entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the Entry. 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. Winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an Entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected Entry will be deemed ineligible. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, an online Entry is “received” when Sponsor’s servers record the entry information and receive the relevant and complete Survey data. Completion or submission of a Survey (by answering all questions) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an Entry for purposes of this Sweepstakes. Those who do not follow all of the instructions or abide by these Official Rules or other instructions of Sponsor may be disqualified. Sponsor may run multiple campaigns, contests, sweepstakes or other promotions simultaneously. Entry into one (1) campaign, contest or sweepstakes does not constitute entry into any other.

   • (8) $100 electronic gift card for Amazon (ARV: $100).

Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution or cash equivalent is allowed except in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prize of the same ARV.  Prizes will be awarded provided a sufficient number of eligible entries are received. All costs and expenses not specified herein  are the sole responsibility of the winner. Odds of winning a prize will depend upon the total number of eligible entries received. Limit one (1) prize per person.  Prize will be fulfilled approximately ten business days after the drawing, or winner notification and verification (if applicable).  Prize details are subject to change, and details not specified in these Official Rules will be determined in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.  Each prize is awarded “AS IS” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose).  Sponsor is not responsible for and will not replace any lost, damaged, mutilated or stolen prize or any prize that is undeliverable, returned, or does not reach the winner because of an incorrect or changed address.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner is disqualified and forfeits his/her prize. In the event that a potential winner forfeits the prize or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries received.
