• Step 2: The entrant is required to share the answer on his/her Facebook/Instagram account and ensuring that the account is kept public and not private..

The Sweepstakes will run for 10 days, and three (3) winners will be randomly selected after every 24 hours within these said ten (10) days (each, a “Prize Winner”). After GoDaddy validates that each Prize Winner fully complied with the requirements contained in these Official Rules and after each Prize Winner has signed and returned the Release Form (defined below), each Prize Winner will be electronically sent an Amazon voucher worth INR 1,000 (“Prize”). Please allow at least 3-4 days after the official winners’ announcement on GoDaddy India’s social media accounts to receive your Prize, though delivery of Prizes could take longer. ALL POTENTIAL PRIZE WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY ADMINISTRATOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING ENTRY HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. ADMINISTRATOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREENSHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS. ANY ENTRY THAT OCCURS AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR ANY REASON IS DEEMED A DEFECTIVE ENTRY AND IS VOID AND WILL NOT BE HONORED. SPONSOR, ADMINISTRATOR AND SWEEPSTAKES PARTNERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY SYSTEM FAILURE OR OTHERWISE RESULTING INTO NON-ACCEPTANCE/NON-DELIVERY OF ANY ENTRY DURING THE SWEEPSTAKES TERM.

If required by Sweepstakes Administrator, each Prize Winner will also be required to sign an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (the “Release Form”) confirming compliance with the Official Rules, acceptance of the Prize as awarded, without substitution, and releasing the Sweepstakes Administrator, Sweepstakes Sponsor and each of their subsidiaries, affiliates, members, divisions, advertising and promotional agencies, wholesalers and retailers, and each of its employees, officers, directors, shareholders and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any liability in connection with the Prize or the Sweepstakes before being granted his/her Prize.

If a selected Prize Winner does not meet all of the Sweepstakes requirements, fails to sign and return the Release Form to the Sweepstakes Administrator within five business days (if required by Sweepstakes Administrator), that selected entrant will forfeit his/her Prize and the Sweepstakes Administrator shall be entitled (but not obligated) to select another entrant from the remaining eligible entries. This process may continue until the Prize has been awarded or there is insufficient time to permit the awarding of the Prize. The Sweepstakes Administrator is not responsible, whether as a result of human error or otherwise, for any failure to contact any selected Prize Winner.

As a condition to being awarded the prize, the Sweepstakes Administrator may, with the prior consent of a Prize Winner, conduct a background check on the Prize Winner. If a background check reveals that a Prize Winner has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation or business of the Sweepstakes Administrator, the Prize Winner may be disqualified and the prize may be awarded to an alternate Prize Winner, time permitting.

The Sweepstakes Administrator will contact the Prize Winner following receipt of his/her signed Release Form to arrange for delivery of his/her Prize.

Over the period of said ten (10) days, three (3) winners will be randomly selected to win a Prize.

No prize substitutions, cash equivalent, or transfer of prizes permitted except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Prize subject to availability and GoDaddy reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to award any other prize of greater or equal value if the advertised prize is unavailable. If prizes remain unclaimed or undelivered after the Sweepstakes Term for any reason, they will not be awarded.
