OFFICIAL RULES – REVIEW PROMOTION
1. HOW TO ENTER: No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win this Review Promotion (the “Promotion”). Any purchase or payment will not increase your chance of winning the Promotion. The Promotion begins on the first day of each calendar quarter starting on 12:00 AM EST on January 1, 2021 and continues until further notice (each calendar quarter a “Promotion Period”). During the Promotion Period, you may enter the Promotion either by providing a written testimonial or review of any service provider or community featured on the Site (the “Featured Provider”) when prompted or designated with an “Add Review” or similar button (the “Review”). You must create an account or profile on www.agefriendly.com (the “Site”) and provide with all required information requested to post a Review on the Site, or submit your Review by email with your first and last name, age, and location (the “Review,” which together with any related materials and information you provide as part of your entry, constitute the “Submission”); and include #promotionentry as the first text of your Review. The Review must be at least 5 words, and Submissions must be based on your actual experience with the Featured Provider (though you are not required to disclose personal health information) and/or otherwise contain an FTC compliant and conspicuous disclosure per the FTC endorsement guides available here (the “FTC Guides”). Multiple Submissions during any Promotion Period are permitted provided that each Review must be original and materially different than any previously submitted Reviews. Submissions must be in English and are further subject to any posting guidelines set forth in the Policies. Incomplete, false, or deceptive Submissions are void. Online entry is the only method of entry.
