Void where prohibited by law. Sponsor’s designated computer shall be the official time keeping device for the Sweepstakes.

All federal, provincial, territorial, state and local laws and regulations apply. 


HOW TO ENTER:  There is NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND NECESSARY to participate in the Sweepstakes.  A purchase does not improve your chance of winning.


INSTAGRAM: During the Sweepstakes Period, follow @ourplace on Instagram, like the specified post (the “Sweepstakes Post”), and comment on the Sweepstakes Post how you would use the Perfect Power Pot. Liking and commenting on the Sweepstakes Post constitutes your unconditional acceptance to these Official Rules.  Once you like and add your comment to the Sweepstakes Post, you will be entered into the Sweepstakes. By liking and commenting on the Sweepstakes Post, you are acknowledging and agreeing that Sponsor has the right to stream your comment through the Instagram API or otherwise use your comment as set forth in its online Terms and Conditions. Do not make duplicate comments. You must have an Instagram account to enter via this method.  If you do not have an Instagram account, you can create one by visiting www.instagram.com. Instagram accounts are free. All comments must comply with the Instagram terms and conditions. If you enter on Instagram using your mobile device, messaging and data fees may apply.  You should consult your wireless service provider's pricing plan for details. You agree to incur any and all charges demanded by your wireless carrier, and such charges shall not be borne by Sponsor. You should also check your device's features for capabilities and check the device manual for specific use instructions.


All entry information and comments shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Submissions” or each as a “Submission.”  Submissions must comply with the Guidelines and Restrictions defined below.     


Limit one (1) Submission per person throughout the Sweepstakes Period.  Duplicate Submissions by the same person will be subject to disqualification.  An entrant may use only one (1) Instagram account to participate in the Sweepstakes. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same Instagram account.  Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different Instagram 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 Instagram account, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register on the platform 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 selected entrant may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. 


Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human or electronic.  Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor.  By entering the Sweepstakes, entrants fully and unconditionally agree to be bound by these rules and the decisions of the Sponsor made in accordance with these rules, which will be final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.


Submission Guidelines and Content Restrictions: By entering the Sweepstakes, each entrant agrees that entrant’s Submission conforms to the Submission Guidelines and Content Restrictions as defined below (collectively, the “Guidelines and Restrictions”) and that Sponsor, in its sole reasonable discretion, may remove any Submission and disqualify an entrant from the Sweepstakes if it believes, in its sole  reasonable discretion, that the entrant’s Submission fails to conform to the Guidelines and Restrictions.  


Content Restrictions


  • The Submission must not contain material that violates or infringes any rights of any other party, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or any other intellectual property rights
  • The Submission must not disparage Sponsor or any other person or party; 
  • The Submission must not contain material that is inappropriate, indecent, pornographic, contains nudity, or is obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous or libelous;

Each entrant acknowledges that other entrants may have used ideas and/or concepts in their Submission that may be similar in idea or concept to what is included in entrant’s Submission. Each entrant understands and agrees that they shall not have any claim against any other entrant or Sponsor arising out of any such similarity or be entitled to any compensation because of any such similarity.  


Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes, including, but not limited to, interpretation and application of these Official Rules.   


WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION:  At the end of the Sweepstakes Period, the winner(s) will be randomly selected in a drawing from all eligible entries received throughout the Sweepstakes Period.  The drawing will be conducted by Sponsor or its third party administrator, using randomization methods selected by Sponsor or its third party administrator in its sole discretion.  Odds of winning a prize are dependent upon the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.  The potential winner(s) will be notified via direct message on Instagram.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason outside the control of the Sponsor.

If the selected entrant is from Canada, in addition to the other winner confirmation requirements set out in above, to be confirmed a winner, the selected entrant must correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill testing question to be administered by phone at a mutually convenient time or within the Prize Claim Documents.


If a selected entrant does not respond within five (5) days of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such selected entrant, such selected entrant will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate selected entrant may be selected.  Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to three (3) selected entrant(s) of an applicable prize in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed winner(s) of such applicable prize after such attempts have been made, such prize may go unawarded.
