To provide fair and equal chance of winning to all Sparkplugging readers, the following are the official rules for all giveaways and contests on Sparkplugging.com.

PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.
VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

1. Entering Giveaways/Contests and Choosing and Contacting Winners

Winners of giveaways/contests will be chosen at random from entries received on the www.Sparkplugging.com website by submitting a completed online entry form. There is no cost to register or enter.

Entrants must send entries using the correct contest entry email address, subject line, and any other specific entry information requested in the contest announcement. Sparkplugging is not responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries, or emails sent but not received by Sparkplugging for any reason, as potential contest winners.

Winners of all giveaways and contests will be contacted at the “sender” email address used to enter the giveaway/contest, and the person receiving and replying to the winner announcement email will be considered the winner unless they specify another person within the reply email as the winner. Sparkplugging will mail the giveaway/contest prize to the address supplied by the recipient of the winner announcement email.

Only one entry per email address used to send the email will be considered for giveaway/contest entry, unless multiple entries are specifically allowed in the giveaway/contest posting. Unless otherwise specified in an individual giveaway/contest post, no person may enter any giveaway/contest more than once using multiple email addresses.

Claiming of prizes requires an email response to Sparkplugging from the winning sender email address within 7 days of being notified of winning at the email address used to enter. Failure to respond shall mean that the winner forfeits the prize. Sparkplugging is not required to award elsewhere any prizes forfeited by the chosen winner(s).

2. Eligibility

All winners must be 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise stated and/or posted. Giveaways and contests are open only to legal United States residents.
