Official Rules - SMUD Online Customer Survey

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN

Eligibility: No purchase necessary. A purchase will not increase chances of winning. This SMUD Online Customer Survey Sweepstakes ("Sweepstakes") is open to SMUD customers 18 years of age and older who are randomly selected from the SMUD customer database. Employees or agents of SMUD, or True North Research, Inc. (the "Sponsor"), their subsidiaries, affiliates and promotional agencies are not eligible, nor are their immediate families or household members. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, local and international laws and regulations. This Sweepstakes is void where prohibited or restricted by law.

Participation: Sweepstakes period begins at 12:01 am Pacific Time ("PT") on July 1, 2024, and ends at 11:59 pm PT on December 31, 2024 ("Promotion Period"). Entrant is automatically entered when entrant successfully connects to the SMUD Perception Tracker Online Survey landing page (first page of online survey) during the Promotion Period. Upon connecting to the survey landing page, entrant receives one (1) Sweepstakes entry. The Sweepstakes has a limit of one entry per person, and thus any subsequent SMUD online surveys completed by entrant during the Promotion Period do not earn entrant additional Sweepstakes entries. Those not automatically entering may enter by mailing a 3.5" x 5" postcard to the address given below, and hand printing their name, address (including ZIP code), daytime and evening telephone numbers, and email address. Mail postcard entries to: True North Research, Inc., c/o SMUD Perception Tracker Online Customer Survey Sweepstakes Administration, 1592 N Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA 92024. Limit one (1) entry/postcard per household. Neither SMUD nor Sponsor is responsible for lost, late, incomplete, inaccurate, stolen, delayed, undelivered, illegible, or improperly inputted entries.

Random Drawing and Prizes: Three (3) potential prize winners will be selected in a random drawing no later than January 31, 2025, from among all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received. The three (3) prize winners will win $100, paid by check.

Notification and Acceptance: Prize winners will be notified by the email address and/or telephone number used to participate in the survey/Sweepstakes. Prize winners must accept a prize within one (1) week of notification to claim the prize, and provide a complete mailing address where the prize can be delivered. Prior to or at the time of delivery of the prize, the potential winner must also execute an Affidavit of Eligibility / Prize Acceptance Form / Release of Liability. Non-compliance within this time period may result in disqualification and the selection of an alternate winner, unless prohibited by law. Sponsor will then perform another random drawing to select a replacement prize winner. Return of any prize or prize notification as undeliverable will also result in disqualification and alternate prize winner selection.

General This offer is void where prohibited or restricted by law and subject to applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
