OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING
These Official Rules govern all sweepstakes, giveaways, and contests (each, a “Promotion”) conducted under the Goya Gives initiative, which is operated and administered under the legal umbrella of Goya Foods, Inc. (“Sponsor”). Promotions may be conducted at in-person events and/or through social media platforms, including but not limited to Instagram and Facebook. Promotions are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and are void where prohibited.
1. ELIGIBILITY
Promotions are open only to legal residents of the United States who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry and who meet any additional eligibility requirements disclosed in the Promotion materials.
Employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives of Sponsor, its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, and the immediate family members (spouse, parent, sibling, child, and their respective spouses) and household members of each such employee are not eligible to participate.
2. PROMOTION PERIOD
Promotions may be conducted on an ongoing monthly basis and may occur at various times throughout the year. Each Promotion’s start and end dates (the “Promotion Period”) will be disclosed in the applicable event signage, social media post, or digital entry form.
Sponsor’s computer and/or official records shall be the official timekeeping device for all Promotions.
3. HOW TO ENTER
No purchase is necessary to enter or win.
Entry methods may include, but are not limited to:
- Completing an entry form at a Goya Gives–branded event
- Submitting an entry online via a designated landing page
- Providing a valid email address
- Following Sponsor’s official social media account(s)
- Liking and/or sharing a Promotion-related post
Specific entry instructions will be provided in the Promotion materials. Completion of all required steps constitutes one (1) entry, unless otherwise stated.
4. ENTRY LIMITATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, limit one (1) entry per person per Promotion. Multiple entrants may not share the same email address or account.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address or social media account used to enter will be deemed the entrant. Sponsor reserves the right to request proof of identity, age, and eligibility.
5. SOCIAL MEDIA DISCLOSURE
Promotions conducted on or promoted via Instagram, Facebook, or other social media platforms are in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with those platforms. By entering, participants acknowledge that they are providing information to Sponsor and not to any social media platform.
6. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION
Winner(s) will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the applicable Promotion Period, unless otherwise stated. Drawings will be conducted by Sponsor or its designee, whose decisions are final and binding.
Potential winner(s) will be notified via email, direct message, or other contact method provided at entry. Sponsor may require winner(s) to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, Publicity Release (where permitted by law), and/or IRS Form W-9 within a specified timeframe. Failure to comply may result in forfeiture of the Prize and selection of an alternate winner.
7. PRIZES
Prize details, quantities, and approximate retail value (“ARV”) will be disclosed in the Promotion materials.
Prizes are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and not redeemable for cash, except at Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised Prize becomes unavailable.
Winner(s) are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and any expenses not expressly stated as part of the Prize.
8. ODDS OF WINNING
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each Promotion.
9. PUBLICITY
Except where prohibited by law, participation in any Promotion constitutes winner’s consent for Sponsor to use winner’s name, likeness, photograph, voice, and/or biographical information for advertising, publicity, and promotional purposes in any media worldwide, without additional compensation.
10. PRIVACY
Sponsor collects personal information from entrants for purposes of administering Promotions and conducting marketing and community initiatives under Goya Gives. Information collected will be used in accordance with Sponsor’s Privacy Policy, available at: https://www.goya.com/en/privacy-policy
11. GENERAL RELEASE
By participating, entrants agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor and its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability arising from participation in a Promotion or from acceptance, receipt, use, or misuse of any Prize.
12. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, modify, or terminate any Promotion if fraud, technical failures, human error, or any other factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Promotion.
Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any individual who tampers with the entry process or violates these Official Rules.
12. DISPUTES
Except where prohibited, all disputes arising out of or related to any Promotion shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey. Entrants waive any right to bring claims as part of a class action.
