You must have a LinkedIn account to enter. Obtaining a LinkedIn account is free and available at www.linkedin.com. Incomplete entry will be rejected.
Limit one (1) entry per person during the Sweepstakes Period. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than one (1) entry during the Sweepstakes Period by using multiple/different identities, or any other methods resulting in any entrant submitting more than 1 entry by any means will void that entry and entrant may be disqualified.
The Sponsor will not be responsible for late, deleted, misdirected, ineligible, garbled, destroyed or delayed entries. Proof of submitting an entry is not proof of receipt.
3. DESCRIPTION OF PRIZES/DRAWING /APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE (“ARV”): ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY (120) winners will each receive a prize package consisting of either:
- (1) EXC BULK CASE – EXCELLENCE A Touch of Sea Salt pieces (bulk case of individually wrapped pieces) (ARV $300) OR

After the conclusion of the Sweepstakes Period, winner will be randomly selected on or about September 18, 2023.
4. ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of winning a Prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
5. GENERAL PRIZE INFORMATION: A Prize must be accepted as awarded, and cannot be transferred, assigned or exchanged for cash. The Sponsor reserves the right to substitute all or any part of a Prize for a prize of equal or greater value, at its sole discretion. Should a Prize (or any part or aspect of a Prize) be postponed or unavailable for any reason, the balance of the Prize will be awarded in full satisfaction of the Prize, and the Sponsor shall not be required to replace the unavailable or postponed component, except in its sole discretion. Any unused portion of a Prize is forfeited and has no cash value. In Sponsor’s sole discretion, a forfeited prize may be allocated to another eligible entrant. Any taxes are winner’s responsibility.
6. WINNER VERIFICATION: Receiving a prize is contingent upon full and unconditional compliance with these Rules. Each potential winner will be notified by email or phone at the address provided upon entry. Potential winner must respond within forty-eight (48) hours of notification or attempted notification by Sponsor, or potential winner forfeits his/her Prize. The potential winner may be required to sign, return, and have notarized, a Declaration of Compliance, and a Liability and Publicity Release (“Release Documents”), which must be received by Sponsor, when requested, in order to claim the Prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted within the forty-eight hour period, fails to sign and return the Release Documents (if requested) within the specified timeframe, is not in compliance with these Rules, fails or refuses to accept the Prize as described herein, Prize is returned as undeliverable, or entrant or entry is disqualified, potential winner forfeits the Prize. In the event that a potential winner of the Prize is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will attempt to award the Prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. There will be three (3) alternate drawings, time permitting, after which the Prize will remain unawarded.
Sponsor will attempt to notify each potential winner as set forth above, but Sponsor is not responsible for any undelivered emails, including without limitation emails that are not received because of a potential winner’s privacy or spam filter settings which may divert any Sweepstakes related email, including any winner notification email or prize email to a spam or junk folder. Entrants should check their spam folders for any winner notification email or prize email.
7. GENERAL RULES: Sponsor reserves the right to terminate, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, without advance notice, if any fraud or suspected fraud, technical failures, human error or intervention, or any other factor impairs the integrity, security, or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In no event will Sponsor be required to award more prizes than the number stated in these Rules or award prizes other than those described in these Rules. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reason causes more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.
All entries are subject to verification by the Sponsor and the Sponsor reserves the right to cancel and revoke any entries if they are found, or suspected of being improper, fraudulent, forged, incomplete or tampered with or if the entrant is subsequently found to be ineligible pursuant to the Rules. Any attempt to deliberately damage any website or to undermine the legitimate operation of this Sweepstakes is a violation of criminal and civil laws, and should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek remedies and damages to the fullest extent permitted by law, including criminal prosecution.
8. RELEASE: By entering this Sweepstakes, entrants agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor, its parent and affiliated companies, and each of such company’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Group”) and LinkedIn from and against any claim or cause of action, including, but not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property, arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use or misuse of any prize, or participation in any Sweepstakes-related activity and for any claims based on publicity rights, defamation or invasion of privacy and merchandise delivery.
