The Always Pan 2.0 “Certified 10” Sweepstakes
Official Rules
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. THIS GIVEAWAY IS IN NO WAY SPONSORED, ENDORSED OR ADMINISTERED BY, OR ASSOCIATED WITH, INSTAGRAM.
How to Enter. There is NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND NECESSARY to participate in the Sweepstake. A purchase does not improve your chance of winning.
During the Sweepstakes Period, visit the Our Place retail store located at either 8507 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069 or 1344 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291 (each an “Our Place Store”) during normal business hours to obtain a free Sponsor-branded hat or keychain (“Merch”), while supplies last. Then visit www.instagram.com or the Instagram App, log into your Instagram account, and: (i) follow Sponsor’s Instagram account @ourplace, (ii) upload a photograph with the Merch at an Our Place Store on your Instagram and (iii) in the photograph caption, tag @ourplace and include the required hashtag #SweepsEntry (the “Hashtag”). You must be a member of Instagram and your account must be set to the “public” setting in order to participate; joining Instagram is free. Upon uploading your photo according to this section, you automatically receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. By using the Hashtag in connection with your Instagram post, you are acknowledging and agreeing that Sponsor has the right to stream your post through the Instagram API. If you choose to enter via your mobile device on a wireless service provider’s network (as opposed to on a Wi-Fi network), your wireless carrier’s text and data rates 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.
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 Instagram account used to submit an entry will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” of an Instagram account is the natural person who is assigned to the Instagram account used to submit an entry. The potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
3. Submission Requirements. By submitting a Submission, entrant explicitly acknowledges and agrees that the Sponsor and its legal representatives, successors and assigns shall have the irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive right in perpetuity to license, sub-license, edit, alter, transmit, post, reproduce, publicly display and publish, in any media, including online, any or all material which the entrant uploads to any websites (including, without limitation, social media sites) associated with the Sweepstakes, with or without first and/or last name credit to the entrant, without any additional consideration or approvals from or to entrant; and Submissions that attempt to restrict this right will not be considered. You further understand and agree that that Sponsor has the right to post your Submission in accordance with these Official Rules in any media even if you have not been declared a winner in this Sweepstakes and, if Sponsor posts your Submission in any media, it does not mean that you have been selected as a winner in this Sweepstakes.
