You will be required to: (i) enter your first name, last name, valid email address and ten digit phone number; (ii) enter into the appropriate field your answer to “Why I Love PLASP”; and (iii) accept and agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Rules.

To have the opportunity to earn Bonus Entries (defined below) for sharing, you must share the Contest with your friends and online network. Follow the on-screen instructions by clicking on the "Share" button after submitting your Main Entry to invite your friend(s) to enter the Contest. You will NOT receive anything for the act of sending the invitation. However, you have the potential to earn one (1) bonus entry for each friend that accepts your invitation by clicking on the shared link and entering the Contest in accordance with these Rules, including, without limitation, satisfying the eligibility requirements (see Rule 3) and Entry Form requirements provided above (each, a “Bonus Entry”) (collectively, Main Entries and Bonus Entries shall be referred to as “Entries” and each, an “Entry”). Example: If a friend you recommended accepts your invitation and properly enters the Contest in accordance with these Rules via the shared link, then you will earn one (1) Bonus Entry. There is a limit of one (1) Bonus Entry per entrant, per unique friend that accepts your invitation and subsequently enters the Contest in accordance with these Rules. You may only share with people: (i) with whom you have a personal or familial relationship or from whom you have received consent to contact; and (ii) by whom the invitation from you would not be considered spam or otherwise offensive. All eligible Entries (as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion) received during the Contest Period in accordance with these Rules will be entered into the random draw for the Contest (See Rule 8). Prize will only be awarded to the entrant whose verifiable full name, ten (10) digit telephone number and valid email appears on the applicable Entry Form.

Under no circumstances will an eligible entrant be permitted to obtain more than one (1) Main Entry in this Contest and/or more than one (1) Bonus Entry, per unique friend that accepts such eligible entrant’s invitation and subsequently enters the Contest in accordance with these Rules. As such, the maximum number of Main Entries that an eligible entrant can have in this Contest is one (1), which is only possible if the eligible entrant submits a Main Entry in accordance with these Rules during the Contest Period.

Any Main Entry you attempt to submit will be rejected if (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor) the Entry Form is not fully completed with all required information and submitted and received during the Contest Period in accordance with these Rules.
6. Verification: The Releasees (defined below) are not responsible for late, lost, misdirected, delayed, incomplete or incompatible Entries (all of which are void).
