The four (4) Jean Coutu gift cards (worth $100 each) will be drawn from among those registered participants who have validated the UPC code on the bottom of their Jean Coutu to the Rescue kit on the website at QuitChallenge.ca, or by telephone at 514 985-2466, ext. 350. Participants who validate their codes by phone must indicate their first and last names, telephone number, and UPC code.
When the regional winners are confirmed and announced, the support prizes (16) will be automatically awarded to their sponsors and teammates. If the winning participants are registered as a pair, the support prizes will be automatically awarded to their teammate, whether the teammate remains a non-smoker or not.
The random draws for the potential winners will take place at 10:00 a.m. on March 14, 2012, at 300 Léo-Pariseau Street, suite 1810, Montreal, Quebec. The potential winners will be contacted by telephone starting on March 21, 2012, by the members of the eligibility committee, and must answer a questionnaire designed to verify the eligibility criteria for the Quit to Win! Challenge listed in section II of the present rules and regulations. At the beginning of the call, potential winners will not be informed of their status as potential winners, nor of the nature of the verification of the eligibility criteria.
These potential winners will then be contacted again by telephone starting on April 12, 2012, by the members of the eligibility committee in order to answer a questionnaire designed to verify the eligibility criteria for the Quit to Win! Challenge listed in section II of the rules and regulations.
3. To be declared a winner and receive his or her prize, each potential winner must first demonstrate by his or her answers to the questionnaire that he or she has completed the Quit to Win! Challenge, in other words, has not smoked during the six weeks of the Challenge, that is, from March 1 to April 11, 2012, inclusively, by informing the members of the eligibility committee of the steps that he or she took. The potential winner will be taken at his or her word and presumed to be in good faith. Second, the potential winner will have to correctly answer, without assistance, within a given time, a skill-testing mathematical question asked over the telephone at a time previously agreed to by the parties. Finally, the potential winner will have to pass a screening test in the form of a urine test or any other form of test deemed relevant, if the eligibility committee of the Quit to Win! Challenge so requests. The sponsor or teammate registered as part of the pair may be contacted to testify whether, to his or her knowledge, the potential winner has not smoked during the period set out in the rules and regulations.
Warning: Consumption of certain illegal substances may cause a failure of the screening test and, as a consequence, the loss of the right to win a prize.
4. If the potential winner cannot be reached after three (3) days of attempts, at the rate of two (2) calls per day (72 hours after the first call), if there is no response or no call-back after a message has been left in his or her voice mail, the potential winner will not have the right to a prize. If applicable, the next potential winner on the list will be called. For whatever reason, no delay may go beyond 72 hours from the time of the first call.
5. After having reached the potential winners and having confirmed verbally with witnesses their eligibility for the Quit to Win! Challenge prizes, the organizers will provide the potential winners with a written declaration attesting to the fact that they respected the conditions set out in the present rules and regulations, as well as a waiver. This declaration does not apply to the sponsors or teammates, but their names will be mentioned with that of the winning participant. The potential winner must return one copy of the declaration by fax to the organizers of the draw and send them the original, duly signed, by mail within the prescribed deadline. If the deadline is not respected, the potential winner will be disqualified.
6. Said declaration must be read by the winner and signed before a Commissioner of Oaths, who must also sign and seal the declaration. The winner must return one copy by fax to the organizers of the draw and send them the original, duly signed, by mail within the prescribed deadline. If the deadline is not respected, the potential winner will be disqualified. A parent or guardian must sign the declaration of a potential winner who is a minor.
7. If a potential winner does not fulfil the requirements of the present rules and regulations, he or she will be automatically disqualified, and the prize will be awarded to a new participant by random draw, according to the same eligibility criteria.
8. ACTI-MENU is the initiator of the Quit to Win! Challenge and is solely responsible for the organization of the draws, which are conducted according to a most rigorous process and supervised by a committee composed of in-house representatives involved in the production of the Quit to Win! Challenge (“eligibility committee”).
9. The prizes must be accepted as awarded and described in the present rules and regulations for the Quit to Win! Challenge. They are not transferable and may not be replaced by other prizes, nor are they exchangeable, in whole or in part, for cash or other goods. ACTI-MENU reserves the right to substitute a prize of an equivalent value for a prize that cannot be awarded as described in the present rules and regulations.
10. The chances of winning depend on the number of registrations received during the registration period.
11. The Quebec Directions de santé publique that have taken the initiative of offering special prizes are subject to the provincial rules and regulations of the Quit to Win! Challenge. The draws are carried out by the organizers of the Challenge, the same ones who oversee the draws for the provincial and regional prizes. Confirmation of the winners falls under the responsibility of each of the Quebec Directions de santé publique, and ACTI-MENU undertakes to submit to the Régie des alcools des courses et des jeux du Québec the list of winners and the prizes awarded.
