iPhone Giveaway" Contest Rules
Open only to US Citizens. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
INTRODUCTION:
MrRebates.com sponsors the August 2007
"Back-to-School iPhone Giveaway" contest (the "Contest") with a
collection of three 4GB Apple iPhones. (non-activated and without
service contract)
REGISTRATION:
All valid members of Mr. Rebates are eligible
for this contest although specific actions explained below must be
taken by a member to qualify for the contest. A valid member of Mr. Rebates is a unique
person that is registered in the Mr. Rebates membership database with
a valid email address and valid
password.
TIMING:
This Contest begins on 12:00 AM EST August 1st, 2007 and ends at
11:59 PM EST on August 31st, 2007.
ELIGIBILITY:
The Contest is open to residents of the
United States (excluding Rhode Island and Vermont) who are 18 years
of age, or the age of majority by law, or older at time of entry. Void
where prohibited by law. Employees of Mr. Rebates
or its affiliates, subsidiaries, participating advertising or
promotion agencies are not eligible, nor are members of these
employees' families (defined as parents, children, siblings, spouse,
and life partners).
To earn an
entry into each iPhone giveaway, a valid Mr. Rebates member must make
a valid
purchase at a partner store (stores that offer cash back only) or
complete an offer and earn a "Quick-Cash" rebate. Each rebate
generated from each order will be a separate entry into each
respective iPhone drawing. Purchases that are
returned/cancelled/exchanged do not qualify as a valid purchase. Determination of a valid purchase is at the
sole discretion of the Mr. Rebates website. Multiple entries can
be generated for each give-away so if a member had 10 valid rebates
in the contest timeframe then they will earn 10 entries into each
iPhone contest.
CRITERIA FOR
WINNING THE CONTEST:
The winner of each of the three iPhone drawings will be drawn at random from the pool of
valid entries into this contest. A Mr. Rebates member can only
WIN ONE iPhone and in the event that a winner is drawn two or
more times, another entry will be drawn.

desire the iPhone prize. The cash substitution option will be
