Organic Gardening Stokes Backyard Book and CD Sweepstakes Official Rules


NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. No payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. You are not a winner yet. Odds of winning: 1 out of the total number of eligible entries received. The sponsor of the sweepstakes is Rodale Inc. ("Rodale").

To enter, go to http://www.organicgardening.com/ (the "Web Site") and fully complete all requested survey information in the fields on the survey form and submit the survey as instructed. INTERNET ACCESS IS REQUIRED TO ENTER. Participants must follow all instructions to enter and win.

Sweepstakes begins 12:00 am ET December 17, 2005 and ends 11:59 pm ET January 20, 2006 (the "Promotion Period"). Entries must be received by 11:59 pm ET January 20, 2006 (ET) to be eligible to win. Only one entry per person/per email address during the Promotion Period and only entries submitted electronically to the Web Site listed above in accordance with these rules will be eligible for consideration. You may enter during the Promotion Period under one name and one e-mail address only. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than one (1) entry by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, or any other methods will void that participant's entries and that participant will be disqualified. Enter using only an e-mail address subscribed to and registered in your name as the authorized account holder. All eligible entries received during the Promotion Period will be eligible to win after submission of such entry. Entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted at the time of the entry. "Authorized account holder" is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.

After the winner sends the reply e-mail, with all the requested contact information, to Rodale by the deadline for replying, Rodale will then send to the winner by postal mail at the mailing address on the winner's entry form an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release of Liability. Winner will be obligated to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release of Liability within 14 days of postal mail notification. In the event of noncompliance within this time period, if the potential winner cannot be reached at the telephone number, email or mailing address on his or her entry form, or if a prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable for whatever reason, the winner will forfeit any right to receive the prize and an alternate winner may be selected.
