NVMHA Contest Terms & Conditions

NVMHA Contest Terms & Conditions:

Each contest (a “Contest”) hosted by North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association (“NVMHA”) is governed by the contest rules (the “Contest Rules”) located on nvmha.com and these Terms and Conditions. By participating or attempting to participate in a Contest, each entrant (an “Entrant”) will be deemed to have received, understood, and agreed to the applicable Contest Rules. Only Entrants who abide by the applicable Contest Rules are eligible to win a prize in a Contest.

Although a Contest may be communicated, promoted, or administered by means of a third party, social media, or social networking service or site, including, but not limited to Instagram, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), or TikTok (each a “Third Party Service”), such Contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed by, administered by, or associated with, any Third Party Service.

The Contest Rules may be amended from time to time without prior notice to any Entrants.

Who is eligible to enter a Contest?

Unless otherwise specified, Contests are only open to players, parents, and guardians that are registered with NVMHA. They must also be legal residents in British Columbia, Canada, who are the age of majority or older at the time of entry. If the Entrant has not yet reached the age of majority, their entry must be submitted and/or claimed by the participant’s parent or legal guardian who shall act on the Participant’s behalf in all aspects of the contest. He/she will a) need to provide NVMHA with their parent/legal guardian’s email address or phone number; and b) his/her parent or legal guardian must deliver the Release and claim any prize.

Contests are not open to employees of NVMHA as well as their immediate families and persons living in the same household as such individuals. In addition, any supplier of a particular Contest (including any third party providing the prize(s) awarded in such Contest) is not eligible to enter such Contest, as well as and the supplier’s directors, officers and employments, and their immediate families and persons living in the same household as such individuals.

NVMHA reserves the right to verify the eligibility of any Entrant.

How do I enter a Contest?

No purchase is necessary to enter and participate in a Contest.

A Contest will be open for entry during the period of time specified in the applicable Contest Rules. In its sole discretion, NVMHA may extend any period of time for entry. Entrants are required to enter a Contest through the provided form or other method indicated in the applicable Contest Rules.

NVMHA will not confirm receipt of any entries, and proof of submission of an entry will not be deemed to be proof of receipt. NVMHA has no obligation to advise an Entrant of an incomplete or otherwise non-compliant entry. NVMHA may also cancel or remove a Contest from a Third Party Service or nvmha.com at any time without prior notice to Entrants.

Can my entry be rejected by NVMHA?

NVMHA reserves the right to reject or refuse an Entrant’s entry in a Contest if:

the Entrant attempts to enter a contest in a manner not authorized by, or submits an entry that is not in compliance with, the applicable Contest Rules;
the entry contains false or misleading information, or is late, falsified, illegible, damaged or incomplete, or otherwise irregular;
the entry is submitted using robotic, automated, programmed, or other illicit means; or
the entry contains, depicts, displays, or involves: any crude, vulgar, profane, sexually graphic, offensive, “off-colour”, harassing, threatening, derogatory, demeaning, defamatory, racist, abusive, hateful, violent, obscene, or discriminatory images, depictions, symbols, or material; any illegal statements, material, or content; any material that condones or incites violence, bullying, or other unlawful behavior; any political content or propaganda; or any other content that is or could be considered inappropriate, unsuitable or offensive, all as determined by NVMHA in its sole discretion.

NVMHA reserves the right to permanently exclude any person from participating in all Contests if such person fails to comply with the Contest Rules for different Contests hosted by NVMHA. This determination will be made by NVMHA in its sole discretion, and will be effective upon NVMHA delivering notice of such determination to the email address or social media account last used by such person to enter a Contest.

How will the potential winner(s) be selected?

The potential winner(s) of any Contest will be selected by random number generator or otherwise in the manner specified in the Contest Rules (each a “Selected Entrant”). A Selected Entrant will only be declared a winner (a “Winning Entrant”) if the Selected Entrant correctly answers, unaided, a mathematical skill-testing question, and completes, signs, and returns the Release (as described below).

What are the odds of winning a prize?

The odds of winning any prize depend on the number of valid entries received in the Contest in which such prize is being offered.

How does a winner claim a prize?

The Winning Entrant will be notified within 7 days of selection in the manner specified in the Contest Rules, and must reply within 24 hours of being notified, unless otherwise specified in the Contest Rules.

How are prizes distributed?

A prize may be provided to the Winning Entrant by NVMHA or the third party providing the prize in the Contest. In the event that any prize is provided directly by a third party to a Winning Entrant, NVMHA accepts no liability for any undue delay in the distribution of a prize. The third party will be responsible for shipping and providing all prizes to Winning Entrants within a reasonable time period. If the third party will provide the prize, NVMHA will provide the Winning Entrant’s shipping information to the third party promptly upon completion of the Contest.

The Winning Entrant must accept the applicable prize(s) as awarded and may not be exchanged for cash or any other product(s) or service(s) except by NVMHA. NVMHA reserves the right to substitute any prize with another of equal or greater value.

Except as otherwise indicated by NVMHA, the Winning Entrant must personally take delivery of the applicable prize(s) as instructed within 72 hours of being notified that the prize(s) are available or within such other time period as the Winning Entrant may reasonably be advised by NVMHA. If instructed in writing by the Winning Entrant, NVMHA may mail the prize(s) to the Winning Entrant’s mailing address in B.C.. If a Winning Entrant fails to take delivery of any prize as instructed, such prize may be deemed forfeited and NVMHA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to select another eligible entry as a potential winner.

How will my personal information be collected, used, and disclosed?

By entering a Contest, the Entrant consents to NVMHA collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information as NVMHA deems necessary for the administration of the Contest as described in the applicable Contest Rules, and for promotional purposes, as applicable. Each Entrant agrees that if they become a Selected Entrant or Winning Entrant, NVMHA may disclose and use their personal information (including name, address, telephone numbers, and/or email addresses, Instagram account handle) to administer the Contest and deliver the prize(s).

What laws apply to the Contest?

The laws of the province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada apply to each Contest unless otherwise specified in the Short Form Rules.

Each Entrant agrees that:

any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of, or connected with any Contest or any prizes shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the courts of British Columbia;
any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual-out-of-pocket costs; and
they waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, and consequential damages, and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket costs.

NVMHA reserves the right to seek any available legal remedy in connection with any attempt to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest.

Who makes decisions about the administration of the Contest?

NVMHA reserves the right to make all decisions relating to the administration of each Contest, including the right to terminate, withdraw or amend the Contest or disqualify any entry for any reason. NVMHA may cancel, modify, or suspend any Contest or amend the Contest Rules for any reason whatsoever, at NVMHA’s sole discretion, without advance notice. All such decisions of NVMHA are final and not subject to appeal.
