Entry Rules: Travellers Notebook Japan Giveaway!
Hi there! It is important you read carefully so you understand all the details of this giveaway including:
- When the deadline is to enter by
- How to submit a qualifying entry
- How the winner is selected
With so many scammers on YouTube, this giveaway will be using a Google Form instead. In the past, entries were done through comments, but since scammers pretending to be me respond to everyone's comments trying to get private information or trick them into sending them money, a Google Form is a closed loop without that risk.
Entry Deadline
The deadline to submit an entry is by 11:59 p.m. EST (Toronto Time), on Friday, July 14th, 2023. The Google Form is automatically set to expire at that time which means if you click the entry link (down below after you finish reading), and are greeted with this text👇 the deadline has already passed:
How to Enter
After reading this page, click the link to the Google Form near the bottom of the page and follow the instructions. Despite saying so in the description on the form itself, remember: it is your responsibility to spell your details correctly so we can get in touch with you if you're the winner.
Don't Get Disqualified!
Once the deadline closes, it'll tie into Google Sheets in my backend and flag any duplicate entries. Those will all be deleted. In other words, one entry per person.
Winner Selection
Random.org will be used. Basically Google Forms will tabulate the total number of entrants. If, for example, 100 people enter, I'll then go to Random.org and have it choose a number from 1 to 100. Your entry number will be based on when you entered. The first person to enter will be 1, and the last person to enter before the deadline will be the biggest number.
Winner Notification
The winner will be notified via Instagram DM or Email (depending on which they select when they entered), and will be notified by 11:59 p.m. EST (Toronto, Canada time) on Sunday, July 16th, 2023).
Claim Deadline
The drawn winner will have exactly one week (until 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, July 23rd, 2023) to respond and arrange for shipping. If no response is received, we will notify them that their prize claim period has expired, and will use Random.org to draw a new winner. That person would also have one week to claim the giveaway prize.
Shipping & Taxes
We will pay for shipping anywhere possible on planet earth. If, however, we find that shipping is not viable (e.g. North Korea), we will notify the winner with our apologies and use Random.org to draw a new winner.
Depending on where the winner lives and their country's trade agreement with Canada, import taxes, duties, and/or fees may be imposed by their country's government. Those fees are solely the responsibility of the winner.
A note on shipping: we will always provide tracking, but please note that once we drop the package off to the post office, shipping times is completely out of our control.
Thank you for reading all of these entry rules and terms. Here's the entry link, and best of luck!
