Giveaway Official Rules

SKIP THE GROOMER #SKIPTO WIN GIVEAWAY — OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

Disputes are resolved by binding individual arbitration — no class actions. By entering, you agree to these Rules as a binding contract, including indemnities and limits on your remedies. Please read them before entering.

1. ELIGIBILITY

The Skip The Groomer #SkipToWin Giveaway ("Sweepstakes") is open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and the age of majority where they live. Internet access and a valid email address are required. Proof of age and residency may be requested.

Employees, officers, and directors of Skip The Groomer LLC ("Sponsor") and their parents, affiliates, agencies, and contractors (together, the "Sweepstakes Parties"), plus their immediate families and household members, are not eligible. "Immediate family" means spouse/partner, parents, guardians, in-laws, grandparents, siblings, children, grandchildren, and their spouses. "Household" means people sharing a residence at least three (3) months a year.

If a single household enters using more than five (5) unique email addresses, all entries from that household may be disqualified at Sponsor's discretion.

By entering, you agree to follow these Rules and accept Sponsor's decisions — including its interpretation of the Rules and selection of the winners — as final and binding. All federal, state, and local laws apply.

2. SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD

The Sweepstakes runs from August 15, 2026 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (PT) until December 5, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time (PT) (the "Sweepstakes Period"). Sponsor's clock is the official timekeeper.

3. HOW TO ENTER

There are multiple ways to earn entries during the Sweepstakes Period. All entry methods are subject to the conditions below. Each entry method is offered independently; entries earned through any eligible method are pooled together for the random drawing. Entries must be submitted during the Sweepstakes Period. All entry activity is subject to verification.

3a. FREE ENTRY — EMAIL SIGNUP

To enter free, complete the designated giveaway entry form at skipthegroomer.com/pages/giveaway with your valid email address. Completing the form constitutes a newsletter subscription and earns one (1) entry. No purchase required. Each email address may be used only once. Using multiple email addresses or identities to exceed entry limits will void those entries and may result in disqualification.

3b. ADDITIONAL ENTRIES — SOCIAL ACTIONS

Entrants may earn additional entries by completing the social actions offered on the giveaway entry page at skipthegroomer.com/pages/giveaway during the Sweepstakes Period. Available actions may include following Sponsor on social media, liking, commenting on, or sharing designated Sponsor posts, and referring friends via the referral mechanism on the giveaway entry page; the actions available at any time are those offered on the giveaway entry page.

The number of entries awarded per social action will be stated on the giveaway entry page at the time of entry. Entries earned through social actions are subject to verification and may be voided if the underlying action is reversed, deleted, or found to be fraudulent or automated.

3c. ADDITIONAL ENTRIES — PURCHASE

During the Sweepstakes Period, qualifying purchases made at skipthegroomer.com earn additional entries. The number of entries per purchase will be stated on the giveaway entry page at the time of entry. Entries are awarded per qualifying order as stated on the giveaway entry page. If you return a purchase before the drawing, those entries are voided. Purchases must be completed before the Sweepstakes ends and are subject to verification.

No fraud. Buying items intending to return them after the drawing is fraud. If Sponsor identifies or suspects fraudulent activity, you will be disqualified and banned from future Sponsor sweepstakes.

General Entry Conditions. Each entry must include all requested information. A confirmation on the Website is not proof of receipt by Sponsor. Entries via third-party services, automation, scripts, or bots are void. The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for technical issues, or for incorrect, incomplete, or illegible contact information.

4. DRAWING AND ODDS

Three (3) potential winners will be selected on or about December 6, 2026 in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Odds depend on the total number of eligible entries received.

5. WINNER NOTIFICATION AND PRIZE CLAIM

The potential winners will be contacted by email (using the address provided at entry) within a reasonable time after the drawing. Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for failed delivery, spam filters, full inboxes, or outdated contact information. Notification is deemed complete when the email is sent.

Each potential winner must sign and return a Declaration of Eligibility, Liability/Publicity Release, and Prize Acceptance Agreement (the "Declaration") within five (5) days of notification. Failure to respond, ineligibility, undeliverable notification, or other non-compliance results in forfeiture, and an alternate may be selected — up to three (3) alternates per prize, after which that prize goes unawarded. A potential winner is confirmed as "winner" only after Sponsor verifies eligibility.

If a winner is below the age of majority where they live, a parent or legal guardian must co-sign the Declaration.

Three (3) prizes will be awarded, one (1) per winner. If multiple bona fide claimants come forward for a single prize, the winner will be selected by random drawing among them, and that drawing is the entrants' sole remedy.

6. PRIZES

Each of the three (3) winners will receive one (1) cash prize of one thousand dollars ($1,000 USD), awarded via check, electronic transfer, or other method at Sponsor's discretion. Total prize pool: three thousand dollars ($3,000 USD). Approximate retail value (ARV) of each prize: $1,000 USD. Actual value may vary; any difference between ARV and actual value will not be paid out.

Each prize is provided "AS IS," "WHERE IS," WITH ALL FAULTS, with no warranties of any kind — express or implied — including merchantability or fitness for purpose.

Prizes are non-transferable, with no additional cash equivalent or substitution except at Sponsor's discretion. If Sponsor cannot deliver a prize, it may award a comparable substitute. If a winner does not accept or use the prize, it is forfeited.

Each winner is responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and any other costs tied to the prize. Prize value will be reported as required by law, and each winner may need to provide a Social Security or Taxpayer ID number, or complete an IRS Form W-9, before the prize is released. An IRS Form 1099 (or equivalent) will be issued for the actual value where required by law.

Sponsor will not replace lost, stolen, mutilated, or undeliverable prizes.

7. PUBLICITY

To the extent allowed by law, each winner grants the Sweepstakes Parties (and their successors and licensees) the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to use their name, social handles, likeness, voice, biography, and place of residence in advertising, marketing, and promotion related to this Sweepstakes, in any media, without further notice, permission, or compensation beyond the prize itself. All rights in such advertising belong to Sponsor and its licensors; each winner waives any related claims.

8. SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM DISCLAIMER

This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok (collectively, the "Social Platforms"). Each entrant acknowledges that they are providing their information to Sponsor and not to any Social Platform. Each Social Platform is completely released from any and all liability arising from or related to this Sweepstakes by each entrant. Any questions or complaints regarding the Sweepstakes must be directed to Sponsor, not to any Social Platform. Use of the Social Platforms in connection with this Sweepstakes is subject to each platform's own terms of service and community guidelines, which entrants are responsible for reviewing and complying with independently.

9. FORCE MAJEURE AND MODIFICATION

If the Sweepstakes is disrupted by events outside Sponsor's reasonable control — including fire, flood, epidemic, earthquake, labor disputes, equipment or service failure, civil unrest, terrorism, war, government action, or interference by any party — Sponsor may modify, suspend, or terminate it. Sponsor may also modify, suspend, or terminate if anything corrupts the integrity, security, or proper administration of the Sweepstakes. If terminated, Sponsor may award prizes via random drawing among non-suspect, eligible entries received before the disruption.

10. CONDUCT

Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible for entrants' attempts to circumvent these Rules or to interfere with the Sweepstakes. They reserve the right to disqualify any entrant who is, or is suspected of, violating the Rules, behaving disruptively, harassing others, or tampering with the entry process — and to void all related entries.

Caution: Any attempt to damage or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes violates criminal and civil law. Sweepstakes Parties may pursue damages and remedies (including attorneys' fees) to the fullest extent permitted.

11. DISCLAIMERS

The Sweepstakes Parties are not responsible or liable for: (a) lost, late, stolen, undelivered, inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, misdirected, damaged, or garbled entries or communications; (b) inaccurate entry information or failed transmissions; (c) unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries; (d) technical failures of any equipment, network, or service involved; (e) unavailability of the internet or website, or any hardware/software issue; or (f) injury or damage to anyone's device related to participation.

If the Sweepstakes cannot run as planned due to virus, tampering, fraud, technical failure, or other causes corrupting its integrity, Sponsor may cancel, modify, or suspend it, and may award prizes via random drawing among non-suspect entries received up to that point.

12. RELEASE AND INDEMNITY

By entering, you release, indemnify, and hold harmless the Sweepstakes Parties and their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns ("Released Parties") from any and all claims, costs (including attorneys' fees), losses, damages, fines, or actions for injury, death, damage, or loss arising from: (i) participation in the Sweepstakes; (ii) receipt, ownership, use, or misuse of a prize; (iii) any publicity, privacy, defamation, false-light, or intellectual property claim; (iv) registration material; or (v) any error in printing, offering, selecting, operating, or announcing the Sweepstakes or prizes.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

These Rules are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

To the extent permitted by law, by entering you agree that: (a) disputes will be resolved individually, with no class actions; (b) claims and awards are limited to actual out-of-pocket costs, capped at $10.00, and attorneys' fees are not recoverable; (c) you waive punitive, incidental, consequential, special, multiplied, and lost-profits damages; and (d) your remedies are limited to money damages — no injunctive or equitable relief. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

14. ARBITRATION

Both parties agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, except that Sponsor may seek injunctive or equitable relief in state or federal courts in California. In arbitration there is no judge or jury, and review is limited; the arbitrator's decision is final and binding.

Arbitration will be administered by JAMS Inc. under its streamlined rules, before a sole arbitrator. If JAMS Inc. cannot set a hearing within fourteen (14) days of a Demand for Arbitration, either party may elect another mutually agreeable provider. Any in-person hearing will take place in California. The same governing law applies.

No class actions. Disputes are arbitrated individually only. If a court finds this restriction unenforceable, the arbitration agreement does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court in California. Arbitration fees and costs will be allocated in accordance with the rules of the applicable arbitration provider, except that each party will be responsible for its own attorneys' fees, travel costs, and other expenses unless otherwise required by law. Either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

15. PRIVACY

By entering, you consent to Sponsor sharing your name, address, and other information with third parties as needed to administer the Sweepstakes and comply with applicable laws. Sponsor may also use your information to communicate about the Sweepstakes or include you on a winners' list. Entry is governed by the Privacy Policy at skipthegroomer.com. If the Privacy Policy and these Rules conflict, these Rules control.

16. MISCELLANEOUS

If any part of these Rules is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Sponsor's failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. Headings are for convenience only. Entrants waive any claim that these Rules are ambiguous.

If anything in marketing materials, social posts, privacy policies, or terms of use conflicts with these Rules, these Rules prevail, and Sponsor will resolve the discrepancy at its sole discretion.

17. WINNER LIST
