GENERAL CONTEST RULES BY STUDIO KNIT

No Purchase Required
No purchase or contribution is necessary to enter or win. Making a purchase or contribution will not improve an individual’s chances of winning.

Odds of Winning
The odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received and/or the number of contestants participating in the contest.

Open to Adults 18 Years or Older
Participants and winners must be at least eighteen (18) years or older. Winners acknowledge that if they enter any contest under a fraudulent name or location, they will automatically be disqualified from the contest.

Prize Redemption
All prizes must be accepted as awarded. Prizes are not transferable, redeemable for cash or exchangeable for any other prize. Winners must redeem the prize within twenty-four (24) hours after notification of winning unless otherwise specified at the time of winning or unless specified for a particular contest. If a winner fails to redeem the prize within twenty-four (24) hours, the winner forfeits the prize and no other prize will be awarded in its place. If a winner cannot be contacted or is disqualified, we reserve the right to determine an alternate winner or to not award that winner’s prize. We retain the right to substitute a prize with another similar prize of equal or greater value in the event the original prize offered is not available due to circumstances beyond its control.

Delivery of Prizes 
We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, misdirected or damaged mail. Prizes lost or damaged in mailing will not be replaced.

Payment of Taxes and Related Expenses
Each winner is solely responsible for reporting and paying any and all applicable taxes related to the prize(s) and paying any expenses associated with any prize which are not expressly included as part of the prize.

Required Documentation
Winners of prizes with a fair market value of $600 or greater must execute and return an IRS Form W-9 and an affidavit of eligibility and liability release, as well as any additional required forms, and must provide a photocopy of a legal document showing residence and a photocopy of a legal document showing the winner’s social security number within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving such forms or the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be randomly selected from the remaining eligible entries. Winners agree to accept the estimate of the fair market value of the prize. Winners of prizes with a fair market value of less than $600 may be requested to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability release. Where such forms are requested, winners must execute and return such forms and documents within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the forms or the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be randomly selected from the remaining eligible entries. We may require proof of each winner’s own social security number before a prize can be sent to the winner.

Specific Types of Contests
To enter a contest on one of our websites, emails, or social media platforms, participants must complete all the information deemed necessary to declare a winner. We do not assume any liability for any malfunction of the telecommunication, internet or individual computer systems. Winning entry(s) will be randomly selected from all valid entries received. If an entry is illegible or does not supply all information deemed necessary to declare a winner, the entry will be deemed invalid and another entry will be selected.
