Official Rules

TruuBlue LLC (“TruuBlue”) is sponsoring the TruuBlue $1,000 Cash Giveaway Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”).  The Sweepstakes is subject to these official rules (the “Official Rules”), and by participating, you (“Entrant”) agree to be bound by them and the decisions of TruuBlue, which are final and binding in all respects.

DISCLAIMER: APPLE IS NOT A SPONSOR NOR IS IT INVOLVED IN ANY WAY IN THIS CONTEST. NO APPLE PRODUCTS ARE BEING USED AS PRIZES.

NO PURCHASE ON THE TRUUBLUE APP IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN A PRIZE. A PURCHASE ON THE TRUUBLUE APP DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.  THE ODDS OF WINNING WILL DEPEND ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE ENTRIES RECEIVED. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.

1. Eligibility: The Sweepstakes is open only to legal Colorado residents who are active members on the TruuBlue app prior to the end of the Sweepstakes Period (as defined below) and are 18 years of age or older at the time of participation. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. Employees, officers, and representatives, and the immediate family members of such employees, officers, and representatives (i.e., parent, spouse, siblings, children, grandparents, step-parents, step-children and step-siblings, and their respective spouses, and those living in the same household, whether or not related) of TruuBlue or its affiliated companies, parent companies, subsidiaries, participating promotional partners, advertising and promotion agencies, webmasters and any company involved in the creation, design, execution, production, or fulfillment of the Sweepstakes (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Entities”) are not eligible to enter. Additionally, individuals employed by any local, state, or federal government office or agency, elected officials, and individuals listed on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List are not eligible to enter or win. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local rules, laws, and regulations.  

2. Sweepstakes Period: The Sweepstakes begins at 12:01:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on May 15, 2023, and ends at 12:01:00 a.m. ET on August 15, 2023 (the “Sweepstakes Period”).  TruuBlue’s computer is the official timekeeping device for entry in the Sweepstakes.  

3. How To Enter: During the Sweepstakes Period, Entrants must create a free account on the TruuBlue app and use it to invite at least one (1) friend or family member to download, install, and try the TruuBlue app.  Entrants may invite as many people to the TruuBlue app as they wish.  Each invitation counts as a new Sweepstakes entry.  Sweepstake entries are capped at fifty (50) total per Entrant regardless of how many invitations Entrant actually sends.

All entries must be received no later than the end of the Sweepstakes Period to be considered. The Entrant is required to provide complete and truthful information.  Entries that are incomplete, corrupted, false, duplicate, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive, or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at TruuBlue’s sole and absolute discretion. Entries submitted by persons who do not meet the eligibility requirements (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void. The use of any scripts, computer programs, robotic repetitive, macro, automatic, programmed, or similar automated entry methods or agents to submit entries will void all entries submitted by that person or that person’s agents. TruuBlue will disqualify any entry from individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements. All entries submitted in compliance with these Official Rules and not disqualified or void are considered “Eligible Entries.” All entries are the property of TruuBlue and will not be acknowledged or returned.

By entering the Sweepstakes, Entrant: (a) agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and by the interpretation of these Official Rules by TruuBlue and by the decisions of TruuBlue, which are final and binding in all respects; (b) acknowledges compliance with these Official Rules; and (c) agrees to comply with any and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Winning the Prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth in these Official Rules.

3.  Prize:  One (1) Winner (as defined below) will receive the following prize: $1,000.00 USD awarded via company check. The aggregate retail value of all prizes is $1,000.00 USD.

If for any reason the Prize is unavailable, TruuBlue reserves the right to modify the Sweepstakes in its sole discretion and award a substitute prize, or portion of the prize, of comparable or greater value as set forth in these Official Rules. No substitution, transfer, or assignment of the Prize, or any portion thereof, is permitted by the Winner. TruuBlue and the Sweepstakes Entities shall have no responsibility or obligation to a Winner who is unable or unavailable to, or who does not for any reason, accept or utilize a Prize or any portion thereof. The Winner agrees to comply with any additional terms and conditions applicable to the Prize. The Prize is provided “as is”; Entrants acknowledge that TruuBlue and the Sweepstakes Entities have neither made nor are in any manner responsible or liable for any warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, in fact, or in law, relative to the Prize, including any implied warranty of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose.  Any prizes pictured in advertising and other Sweepstakes materials are for illustrative purposes only.

The value of the Prize will be taxable to the Winner as income.  All U.S. federal, state, and local tax liability, and any other costs and expenses associated with acceptance or use of the Prize not explicitly provided for in these Official Rules are solely the responsibility of the Winner (regardless of whether the prize, in whole or in part, is used). Winner must submit their Taxpayer ID, Social Security Number, and/or any other information or documentation TruuBlue may require for payment and/or tax reporting purposes, including but not limited to a W9.

4.  Winner Selection and Notification:  One (1) potential winner will be selected in a random drawing by TruuBlue from all Eligible Entries on or about August 17, 2023.  The potential winner will be notified by phone or email (at the phone number or email provided by Entrant when their TruuBlue account was created), and will be required to confirm his/her email address. Details will follow via email.  

TruuBlue shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted, or not received by a potential winner for any reason.  If a potential winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been exerted and/or fails to respond to confirm his/her email address within twenty-four (24) hours (or such other time specified by TruuBlue) from when the initial notification phone call or email is sent, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner forfeits the Prize. An alternate potential winner may be selected. TruuBlue, in its sole discretion and time permitting, will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of each Prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified, and an alternate potential winner may be selected.  The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.

5.  Winner Verification:  The potential winner may be required to prove eligibility, including, without limitation, proof of age, residence, and identity, which may include submitting a copy of a driver’s license, passport, or similar government-issued identification within twenty-four (24) hours after being notified of being a potential winner.

The potential winner will be required to complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility, release of liability, publicity release form (except where prohibited), and a completed IRS W-9 form (if required), and the eligibility of the potential winner will be verified.  Forms must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt by potential winners.  If any potential winner does not complete all forms necessary within the time given (or another time as designated by TruuBlue) and/or in the event of non-compliance by any potential winner, such potential winner shall be disqualified and shall forfeit the prize, and all privileges otherwise due as a potential winner shall be terminated and an alternate potential winner may be selected in a random drawing from among all of the remaining Eligible Entries.

Provided that each potential winner is in compliance with the Official Rules and after having successfully proven eligibility, they will be officially confirmed as the Winner.  TruuBlue expressly reserves the right to delay the announcement of the Winner for any reason it deems necessary. 

Additionally, TruuBlue and the Sweepstakes Entities reserve the right to make a public announcement, announcing the Winner on either the TruuBlue website, through the TruuBlue App, or in any manner (including, without limitation, social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter)), which they deem appropriate.

6.  Liability Release and Indemnity:  THE PRIZE IS OFFERED AND PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE BY TRUUBLUE OR ANY SWEEPSTAKES ENTITY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.  IN NO EVENT WILL TRUUBLUE OR ANY SWEEPSTAKES ENTITY BE LIABLE TO THE ENTRANT FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENTRANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE SWEEPSTAKES, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT TRUUBLUE AND/OR OTHER SWEEPSTAKES ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.

TruuBlue and the Sweepstakes Entities assume no responsibility for any typographical or other error in the printing of the offer, administration of the Sweepstakes, errors in processing entries, identifying the Winners, in the announcement of the Prize and Winners, the delivery of the Prize, any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer systems, online systems, servers or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of any e-mail or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or on any web site including TruuBlue.com, or any combination thereof, including, without limitation, any injury or damage to Entrant’s or any other person’s computer system/software related to or resulting from participation in, uploading any materials or downloading any materials in the Sweepstakes.  Use of any device to automate or subvert entry is prohibited and any entries received by such means will be void. TruuBlue reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any person it suspects or finds (i) to have tampered with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes; (ii) to be acting in a disruptive manner, or with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person;  (iii) to display behavior that will bring such Winner, TruuBlue or the Sweepstakes Entities into disgrace; (iv) to have provided inaccurate information on any legal documents submitted in connection with the Sweepstakes; or (v) to be acting in violation of these Official Rules. ANY VIOLATION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES BY A WINNER WILL RESULT IN SUCH WINNER’S DISQUALIFICATION AS A WINNER OF THE SWEEPSTAKES AND ALL PRIVILEGES AS A WINNER WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED.

7.  Grant of Rights.  Except where prohibited by law, by entering the Sweepstakes and/or winning the Prize, Entrant irrevocably consents to the use of his or her name, image, photograph, likeness, biographical information, entry, statements attributed to Entrant (if true) and any video footage related to the Prizes, for all Sweepstakes Entities’ advertising, promotional or other commercial purposes in all media now or hereafter known, worldwide and in perpetuity without additional compensation and additionally consents to the Sweepstakes Entities putting his or her name on a winner’s list.  Please note that TruuBlue may not acknowledge or return any entries.

8.  General Terms. Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible if the Sweepstakes cannot take place, or if the Prize cannot be awarded due to delays, interruptions, or failures due to acts of God, war, natural disasters, weather, acts or threats of terrorism, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, work stoppages, fire, acts of government, or other events outside of the reasonable control of the Sweepstakes Entities.  If, for any reason the Sweepstakes is not capable of running as planned, including, without limitation, due to infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Sweepstakes Entities, which, in TruuBlue’s sole determination, corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, TruuBlue reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend the Sweepstakes or any part of the Sweepstakes. If the Sweepstakes or any part of the Sweepstakes is terminated or modified prior to the closing of the Sweepstakes Period, notice will be posted on TruuBlue.com. TruuBlue reserves the right to modify and amend these Official Rules from time to time during the Sweepstakes Period for clarification purposes.

ANY ATTEMPT BY ANY PERSON TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAW AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, TRUUBLUE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. TruuBlue’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that term or any other provision of these Official Rules. Entrant agrees to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of these Official Rules or any provision hereof.
