**B. NO PURCHASE REQUIRED MAIL-IN METHOD OF ENTRY:**

It is imperative that the outer mailing envelope includes a valid return address with your complete first and last name. Entries lacking a verifiable and legible return address will be deemed incomplete and invalid. Each mailing envelope is limited to one entry, and bulk shipments containing multiple entries in a single package will not be accepted. All mail-in entries, including the outer envelope, must be handwritten; mechanically reproduced entries or metered mail are prohibited.

 Entries must be postmarked by the promotion's end date of November 22, 2024, and received by November 27, 2024, to qualify for the drawing. If the postmark date falls on a Sunday or federal holiday, your mail-in entry must be postmarked on the following business day. Each valid mail-in entry will count as twenty (20) entries, provided it meets the outlined requirements. Mail-in entries that do not conform to the specified format, inaccurate, incomplete, are illegible, or mechanically reproduced will be considered null and void.

No correspondence will be acknowledged, and requests for confirmation of receipt of mail-in entries will not be entertained.

*RANDOM DRAWING:** A random drawing will be conducted on or around July 4, 2025, to select one (1) winner from all eligible entries, which include both purchase and non-purchase mail-in entries received by specified date above. This drawing will be overseen by Giveaway Ninja (the “Administrator”), an independent organization specializing in contest management, and their decisions will be deemed final. The probability of winning a prize is determined solely by the total number of eligible entries received. While numerous participants may enter, only one (1) potential winner will be randomly selected. Winning is not guaranteed; the likelihood of winning depends on the overall number of eligible purchase and mail-in entries submitted and received during the promotional period.

*WINNER NOTIFICATION:**

The selected winner will be contacted via email and/or phone by the Sponsor and will be required to complete and submit an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability, Prize Acceptance Form, and, where permissible, a Publicity Release.

All completed Documents must be returned within three days, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, from the date of attempted delivery. Failure to return the required Documents, respond to the notification within the specified timeframe, or if any prize notification is returned as undeliverable, will result in disqualification without further notice, and an alternate winner will be selected. Should a potential winner be deemed ineligible, fail to comply with the Official Rules, or be unable to claim the prize as specified, disqualification will occur, and an alternate winner will be chosen. The awarding of the prize is contingent upon eligibility verification and the completion and return of all required Documents. If the Sponsor or an Administrator acting on behalf of the Sponsor cannot determine and verify a potential winner after multiple alternate drawings, or if there are insufficient entries (fewer than 250,000) corresponding to the number of prizes available, the Sponsor reserves the right to withhold any or all prizes.

*PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION**

* CHOICE OF LAW/JURISDICTION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION:**

This promotion is valid only in the 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., with the exception of New York, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. It is governed by the laws of Florida, regardless of any conflicting legal principles. The failure of the promotional entities to enforce any rule does not constitute a waiver of their rights. Participants must first resolve disputes with the sponsor by sending a written notice to Go Nuts For Donuts LLC, 1300 3rd St SW, PMB# 188, Winter Haven, FL 33880. Legal actions may not be initiated until ten business days have elapsed following the submission of this notice. This informal resolution process does not replace any legally mandated pre-suit procedures. 

If the disagreement regarding the Demand is not resolved within ten business days, the entrant is required to file for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Both the entrant and the Promotion Entities agree to resolve disputes through arbitration, thereby waiving their rights to pursue court litigation and jury trials. Proper service must be conducted in accordance with the Arbitrator's rules. Should the AAA be unable to facilitate arbitration, the entrant may engage another national arbitration organization. The Arbitrator will adhere to the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, effective September 1, 2014, and will hold exclusive jurisdiction over all related disputes. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer-Rules-Web_0.pdf

The validity of the arbitration agreement contained herein is affirmed. The Arbitrator is vested with the authority to grant any and all remedies permissible by law; however, requests for public injunctive relief must be pursued in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs both the enforcement and interpretation of arbitration agreements. The designated location for arbitration shall be Tampa, Florida. The entrant agrees not to initiate or participate in any class action or collective action against the Promotion Entities. Furthermore, the entrant consents to not join their claims with those of any other individual. Notwithstanding any provisions within the Official Rules or the Privacy Policies, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this class action waiver is invalid, then the arbitration agreement shall be rendered null and void, as if it had never been established. Consequently, any disputes subject to arbitration at that juncture will be dismissed without prejudice and may subsequently be refiled in court. Entrants irrevocably consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the designated courts jurisdiction for any action, suit, or proceeding arising from or related to this Promotion shall lie exclusively with the state or federal courts located in Tampa, Florida. Under no circumstances shall entrants or the Promotion Entities consent to class or collective arbitration procedures or the consolidation of claims. The provisions outlined in the Dispute Resolution Section will remain in effect even after the Promotion concludes or undergoes modification. They will govern the relationship between participants and the Promotion Entities concerning participation.

DISSOLVABILITY: In the event that any clause of these Official Rules is deemed invalid or unenforceable, such a clause shall be considered null and void; nonetheless, the remaining clauses shall persist with their full vigor and validity.

WINNERS LIST AND OFFICIAL RULES:

The name of the Prize Winner will be published on www.gnfd19xx.com on or about July 4, 2025, or following the verification of the Grand Prize Winner. The Official Rules will remain accessible on www.gnfd19xx.com throughout the Promotion Period.
