The Battery Blitz School Mission Challenge is sponsored by Call2Recycle Canada Inc. (the “Sponsor”).
SECTION 1: CONTEST PERIOD
The Battery Blitz School Mission Challenge (the “Challenge”) starts on Monday February 19 to March 31, 2024. Each Entrant (defined herein) will be assigned a specific Challenge Period (defined herein) to complete the Challenge. One Challenge entry per Entrant.
SECTION 2: ELIGIBILITY
The Challenge is only open to elementary schools in Saskatchewan that have been registered by Earth Rangers for the Battery Blitz School Mission program and that have had a presentation by Earth Rangers on battery recycling and safety (an “Earth Rangers Show”) presented virtually to their school (each an “Entrant”). This Challenge is not open to employees, representatives, and agents of the Sponsor or Earth Rangers, their respective parents, partners, related and affiliated companies, advertising and promotional agencies and the members of the households of such employees, representatives and agents.
SECTION 3: HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Each Entrant will start with 20 full-size battery collection boxes, provided by the Sponsor. Collection boxes will be shipped to the Entrant. Each Entrant will then have a four-week period, commencing on Monday February 19 to March 31, 2024, to collect used batteries (“Challenge Period”) using the battery collection boxes. Each Entrant may contact the Sponsor for additional battery collection boxes at 1-888-224-9764. Only batteries collected during each Entrant’s Challenge Period will be eligible for the Challenge.
Each Entrant is responsible for ensuring that all students and staff understand and appreciate the safety concerns and related hazards associated with the handling of batteries and shall ensure that all collected batteries are handled with care and according to all applicable standards and guidelines. All Entrants are encouraged to contact the Sponsor at 1-888-224-9764 should they have any related questions or concerns about handling of batteries.
At the conclusion of their Challenge Period, each Entrant must call Purolator at 1-888-744-7123 to arrange for pickup of all used Sponsor-provided battery collection boxes. If an Entrant has not called Purolator within 28 days of their Challenge Period to arrange for pickup, the Entrant may be disqualified from the Challenge, in the absolute and sole discretion of the Sponsor.
The used Sponsor-provided battery collection boxes will be weighed by Purolator and the results will be sent to the Sponsor. The top 3 Entrants that collect the heaviest weight of batteries (determined by the combined weight of all of the used Sponsor-provided battery collection boxes picked up from each Entrant, rounded to the nearest pound), will be awarded the Grand Prize, Second Place Prize, and Third Place Prize respectively (each a “Prize” and collectively, the “Prizes”). In the event of a tie (a tie is defined as any two or more Entrants who collect the same weight of batteries, rounded to the nearest pound), a random draw will take place amongst the tied Entrants to determine who will be awarded a Prize.
If an Earth Rangers Show is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled to accommodate the Challenge timeframe (such timeframe to be determined at the sole discretion of the Sponsor), the Entrant will no longer be eligible to win the Prize.
SECTION 4: PRIZE
The three Entrants that collect the heaviest weight of batteries will win one of three Prizes (“Prizes”): the Grand Prize for first place is $1,500, the Second Place Prize is $1,000, and the Third Place Prize is $500.
The approximate retail value of the Prizes is $3,000.00 CDN.
The Prizes must be accepted as awarded, may not be exchanged and are nontransferable, non-refundable and non-salable.
The Sponsor reserves the right, in its absolute and sole discretion, and without notice, to make substitutions in respect of any element of the Prize. Any difference between the actual value of the Prize and the approximate value of the Prize stated in these Rules will not be awarded. The winner is solely responsible for all other costs not specifically identified as included in the Prize.
The Sponsor’s rulings are final and without appeal in all matters related to the Challenge and the awarding of the Prize. The Sponsor is not responsible for forfeiture of the Prize due to any circumstance, including resulting from invalid, erroneous or incomplete contact information.
The odds of winning depend upon the total number of Entrants.
SECTION 5: PRIZE AWARD
The Prize winners will be contacted by Earth Rangers once all results have been collected, weighed and reported to the Sponsor; on and around June 2024. The Sponsor reserves full direction to reschedule these dates.
SECTION 6: PRIZE CLAIM CONDITIONS
The selected winners will be notified by telephone at the number provided to the Sponsor upon booking the Earth Rangers Show. The selected winner must respond to this notification within five business days of the first attempt by Sponsor. Failure to respond by such time may result in the forfeiture of the Prize, in the absolute discretion of the Sponsor. An alternate winner will be selected by determining the Entrant with the next heaviest weight of batteries, in the same manner as described above. This procedure will be followed until the Prize has been awarded.
At the discretion of the Sponsor, the winner must sign and return a release of liability and consent to publicity form and any other documentation as may reasonably be required by the Sponsor in their absolute discretion. A representative of a winning Entrant may be required to provide proof of identification to the Sponsor when claiming the Prize or otherwise in connection with this Contest to facilitate the Sponsors’ accurate identification of a Contest winner.
Entrants who have not complied with these Rules will be disqualified and required to forfeit any claim to the Prizes.
