1. Promotion and Sponsor.  Participation in the Tinder Group Hangouts Sweepstakes promotion (the "Promotion") constitutes Entrant's (as defined below) full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules.  Entrant is free to disclaim any prize and status as Entrant, and as a result will not be eligible to receive any prize.  The Promotion is sponsored and administered by Tinder LLC, 8750 N. Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75204 ("Sponsor").  All decisions related to, as well as all interpretation of, these Official Rules by Sponsor are final and binding.  While this Promotion may be promoted via social media websites, such websites are not affiliated with Sponsor or this Promotion.  This Promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or any other site or medium that might host content where information about this Promotion is posted or published (collectively "Content Hosts").  Entrant is providing information only to Sponsor and not to Content Hosts.

3. Eligibility.  The Promotion is open only to legal residents of New South Wales, Australia, age 18 or older, who at the time of entry have a valid and active Tinder account. Employees or agents of Sponsor or its parent or affiliate companies, vendors, suppliers, consultants, sub-contractors, distributors, legal counsel, or advertising, marketing, public relations, or promotional/fulfillment agencies, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such employee or agent, are not eligible to enter. Legal entities are not eligible to enter. Eligibility is contingent upon agreement to, compliance with, and fulfillment of all requirements of these Official Rules. Participation in the Promotion in any way, including submission of any entry or the partial completion of any act of entry or any other step taken to participate in the Promotion in any manner, constitutes full and unconditional agreement with all provisions of these Official Rules.

4. How to Enter.  NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.  PURCHASES DO NOT INCREASE ODDS OF WINNING.  There is one method of entry.  By participating in the Promotion, you will become an "Entrant."  Each Entrant who enters using the below method of entry will receive one entry in the Promotion.  Limit one eligible entry per qualifying Group Hangout.

Tinder Entry: During the Promotion Period, Sponsor will publish a Promotion-branded profile card on the Tinder platform (the “Promotion Card”) inviting you to start a Group Hangout. You will receive one (1) entry in the Promotion if you: (i) log into your Tinder account, (ii) locate the Promotion Card, (iii) select “Start a Group Hangout”, (iv) pick your group activity from the list, (v) invite two (2) or more people (each, an Invitee, and collectively, “Invitees”, and (vi) have your Invitees join your Group Hangout before the end of the Promotion Period, subject to all other requirements of these Official Rules.

5. Conditions of Entry.  By entering or participating in this Promotion, Entrant agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor and its authorized representatives, which are final and binding in all matters concerning this Promotion.  Entries not legitimately submitted in accordance with these Official Rules are void.  Only qualified entries received by Sponsor during the Promotion Period are eligible for participation.

Entrants may be required to provide the following information to be eligible for a Promotion prize: first, middle and last name, month, day and year of birth, email address, complete mailing address, and phone number (collectively or individually, "Personal Information").  All requested Personal Information must be provided to participate in the Promotion and to be eligible to win a prize.  Personal Information may be collected through phone, email, the Promotion entry form, social media message, the Tinder mobile application, or text message, and will be used by Sponsor solely for Promotion administration.  Entries with incomplete, invalid, incorrect, or noncurrent information and entries that are counterfeit, damaged, or tampered with in any way will be disqualified.  Entries that are late, lost, damaged, misdirected, stolen or not delivered are not the responsibility of Sponsor and will be disqualified.  Sponsor is not responsible if a potential winner does not receive a prize because erroneous, expired, canceled, fraudulent, or fake information was provided during the Promotion.  Proof of sent entry and/or entry receipt (such as a copy of a "thank you" message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of entry by Sponsor for purposes of this Promotion.

Participation must be by Entrant.  Participation by any other individual or entity, or originating at any other website, email address, or phone number, including, but not limited to, commercial promotion, subscription notification, and promotion entering service sites, is invalid and will be disqualified from this Promotion.  Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple email addresses, phone numbers, identities, registrations, or logins; entries through a sweepstakes club or similar entity; or any other unauthorized method of entry will void all of Entrant's entries and Entrant will be disqualified from the entire Promotion.  Submitting mass entries or entries generated by an automated program, script, or macro, or the use of any other similar device, program, or method to enter this Promotion is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  

In the event of a dispute as to the identity of Entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the Tinder account used to enter will be deemed to be Entrant.  A potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.  The "authorized account holder" of an email address is the natural person assigned to that email address by any organization (business, educational institution, etc.) responsible for assigning accounts to that email address.  If the identity of the individual who actually participated in the Promotion cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected individual's entry will be deemed ineligible.

Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any individual it finds to be in violation of these Official Rules, tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion (including, but not limited to, tampering with websites, email addresses, or phone numbers), or acting in a non-sportsmanlike or disruptive manner.  Any attempt to undermine the operation of the Promotion may be a violation of criminal or civil law, and Sponsor may seek damages to the fullest extent permitted by law from any person it finds to have made such an attempt.

6. Prize.  There will be a total of fifty (50) prizes available to be won. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each prize is AUD $100. The total approximate retail value of all prizes available in the Promotion is AUD $5,000. Each prize consists solely of one (1) $100 gift card to be awarded to the applicable winner.

All additional costs, including, but not limited to, surcharges, fees, gratuities, taxes, and other personal charges not specifically described as part of the prizes above are not included in the prizes. All prizes must be accepted as awarded without substitution and are not, in whole or in part, assignable, transferable, or available for resale. Prizes have no cash surrender value, except where required by law. Sponsor has made no warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, with respect to any prize. This includes, without limitation, any warranty, representation, or guarantee related to any prize’s quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Prizes are subject to availability and Sponsor may substitute a prize (or a component thereof) with another prize of equal or greater value if the prize is not available for any reason, as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Other prize substitution options are available where required by law. Any taxes, duties, levies, and all other costs and expenses associated with acceptance and use of any prize not specified herein as being awarded are the winner’s sole responsibility. Prize specific terms and conditions apply.

Any prize details not specified above will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. If any potential winner is disqualified, not eligible, or for any other reason cannot accept the prize as stated, then Sponsor may randomly select a new potential winner from the remaining pool of eligible Entrants. Where required by applicable law, the winner may be required to submit, without alteration and in the form provided by Sponsor, a completed and signed Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability & Publicity Release within the time period specified by Sponsor in order to claim a prize. The winner is solely responsible for any taxes, duties, levies, or other government charges associated with the acceptance and use of a prize. Sponsor may provide any information or documentation required by applicable law in connection with the award of a prize.

Only the prize set forth in these Official Rules will be awarded. In the event that any mistake, failure, or discrepancy causes more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be promoted, noticed, or claimed, Sponsor may award only the stated number of prizes by conducting a random drawing from among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.

7. Winner Determination and Verification.  The process leading to the random selection of the potential prize winners is within the sole discretion of Sponsor.  Within a reasonable time after the end of the Promotion Period, the potential winners will be randomly drawn from the pool of all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.

The potential winners are each subject to eligibility verification, on an ongoing basis, by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding.  An Entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if notified of being a winner and/or issued any item of value, unless and until Entrant's eligibility has been, and continues to be verified to the satisfaction of Sponsor.

To be verified as eligible to receive a prize, the potential winners must fulfill all requirements and continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules and not be disqualified for any reason.  The potential winners will be notified by phone, email, the Promotion entry form, social media message, the Tinder mobile application, or text message (subject to Sponsor's discretion).  If the potential winners of any prize cannot be contacted using the information provided, or fail to respond to Sponsor's attempt to notify them of selection within two business days; if any prize or notification is returned as undeliverable or yields an error or undeliverable type "bounce back" email (regardless if the message is ultimately delivered to the recipient); if the potential winners fail to sign and return the Release or any other required documentation or fail to comply with these Official Rules; if the potential winners are unable or unwilling to accept the prize (or any portion) as stated; or if the potential winners cannot be verified as eligible for any reason at any time before, during, or after the Promotion Period, the potential winners are disqualified and forfeit the prize (or relevant portion), and alternate potential winners will be randomly selected from among the remaining eligible entries. 

In the event that an Entrant or potential winners are disqualified or fail to claim the prize for any reason, the foregoing process will be repeated until the prizes are awarded OR until three attempts have been made to award the prizes and each attempt has failed.  IF THE PRIZES REMAIN UNAWARDED FOR ANY REASON AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS, THE PRIZES WILL NOT BE AWARDED IN THIS PROMOTION.  A winners list may be obtained by printing the requestor's name, address, city, state or province/territory and zip or postal code on a 3x5" postcard and mailing it to Tinder LLC, Attn: Tinder Group Hangouts Sweepstakes Winners List, 8750 N. Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75231.  Limit one request per person, per household.

Odds of winning any prize depend on the number of eligible entries received. 

8. Limitations of Liability.  By entering or participating in this Promotion or any prize in any way, each Entrant and each Invitee agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, and thereby does release and discharge Sponsor, and Content Hosts, and each of their respective parent and affiliate companies, vendors, suppliers, consultants, sub-contractors, distributors, legal counsel, and advertising, marketing, public relations, and promotional/fulfillment agencies, and each of their respective parent companies and each such company's officers, directors, employees and agents, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such individual (collectively, the "Released Parties") from and against any loss, damage, injury, claim, or cause of action related in any way whatsoever to this Promotion, these Official Rules, or the rights, consents and licenses granted to Sponsor under these Official Rules, including, but not limited to, infringement of any right of publicity or intellectual property; threatened or actual injury, loss or damage to any person, including death and disability; defamation or portrayal in a false light (intentional and unintentional); invasion of privacy; and damage to or loss of property, arising out of such Entrant's participation in the Promotion or receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize.  To the maximum extent allowed by law, in no event will Released Parties be responsible or liable for any damages or losses of any kind, including indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of this Promotion.  (Some jurisdictions may not allow the limitations or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages or exclusion of implied warranties.  Check local laws for restrictions regarding these limitations or exclusions.)

Entrants waive any right to claim ambiguity in these Official Rules.  The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) technical failures of any kind; (2) incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Entrants, any internet or email service provider, any promotional or advertising agency, printing or computing errors, or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Promotion; (4) technical or human error that may occur in the administration of the Promotion, the processing of entries or the announcement of the winner and prize; (5) any injury or damage to persons or property, including without limitation computers, phones, and tablets, that may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by Entrant's participation in the Promotion or access to the Promotion materials; (6) the receipt, use or misuse of any prize; or (7) any other errors in any materials, information or announcements associated with the Promotion.  If for any reason an Entrant's entry is confirmed by Sponsor to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted by Sponsor, Entrant's sole remedy is another entry in the Promotion, subject to availability and provided that the Promotion Period has not then expired.

EACH ENTRANT, WINNER, AND INVITEE WAIVES CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542 (AND ALL SIMILAR LAWS OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES), WHICH READS: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”  EACH ENTRANT, WINNER, AND INVITEE REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS FULL UNDERSTANDING OF, AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCE OF, WAIVER OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542 (AND ALL SIMILAR LAWS OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES).

9. LICENSE FROM ENTRANT.  To the extent allowed by law, participation in the Promotion in any way or acceptance of, or participation in, any prize constitutes each Entrant's consent for, and grant of a non-exclusive, sub-licensable and assignable license to Sponsor to use, publish, post, or display Entrant's name, social media handles, likeness, photograph, voice, opinions, statements, prize information, biographical information, and hometown and state, province, or territory, regardless of whether altered, distorted, or used alone or with other material, in Sponsor's sole discretion, for promotional, advertising, trade, and publicity purposes in any medium now known or later discovered, worldwide and in perpetuity, without review or approval, and without further notice, payment, or consideration of any kind.

All rights, consents and licenses granted to Sponsor under these Official Rules or the Release will survive the termination of this Promotion.  Such consents and licenses may only be revoked in writing, and the mere ending of this Promotion or Promotion Period is not sufficient to revoke such consents or licenses.

10. Right to Modify or Cancel.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  In the event any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, these Official Rules will otherwise remain in effect in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was never included.  Sponsor's failure to enforce any provision of these Official Rules does not constitute a waiver of that provision. 

Sponsor may cancel, suspend or modify the Promotion or any part of it, in any way, if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that the Promotion is not capable of executing as Sponsor intended, or that any mistake, clerical or typographical error, omission, fraud, technical failure, tampering, computer virus, or other factor, technical or otherwise, beyond Sponsor's reasonable control, impairs or may impair Sponsor's ability to properly conduct the Promotion, subject to any applicable law or regulation.  In such event, Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, award any applicable prize(s) by conducting a random drawing from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the cancellation, suspension, or modification of the Promotion.  Inclusion in such random drawing is Entrant's exclusive remedy under such circumstances.

In the event of an inconsistency between these Official Rules and any disclosure or other statement contained in any Promotion-related materials, including, but not limited to, a Promotion entry form or any point-of-sale, radio, television, print, or online advertising, these Official Rules will prevail and govern.

11. Disputes.  Except where prohibited by law, Entrant agrees that: (1) all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Promotion or any prize awarded will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate federal or state court located in Dallas County, Texas; and (2) all claims, judgments and awards will be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Promotion, but in no event attorneys' fees.  All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights or obligations of Entrant or Sponsor in connection with the Promotion, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

12. Privacy.  By entering this Promotion, Entrant agrees to Sponsor's manner of collection, use, retention, and disclosure of Entrant's Personal Information submitted in connection with the Promotion.  Personal Information collected from Entrant is subject to Sponsor's privacy policy, which can be found at www.gotinder.com/privacy.
