Rules And Regulations

For the GWOS professional education or certification giveaway promotion. No purchase necessary.

Promotion Overview.

Enter to win an educational course reimbursement of up to $4500 by submitting your email address and contact information at GroundWork Open Source by visiting http://www.gwos.com and by going straight to the entry page at http://www.gwos.com/certification. No purchase required. Purchases won't increase your chance of winning. You must enter a valid email address and it must be your own email address. Entering the same email address more than once does not increase your chance of winning, and it wastes your time. The drawing will run once after July, 2010, once after August, 2010 and once after September, 2010. We reserve the right to change or cancel the promotion at any time, at our sole discretion.

Your Privacy.

We do not sell your email address to others. Entries are treated pursuant to our Privacy Policy. Entries become the property of GroundWork Open Source, Inc. ("GWOS," also referred to as "we" or "us"). Entrants will receive email announcements and special offers from us, but can always decide to opt-out of emails later.

Drawings.

Once after July, 2010, once after August, 2010 and once after September, 2010, we will conduct a random drawing from all eligible entries. We will announce the winner as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter. Our decisions are final. Your odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries we receive. We notify the winner by email. If the email address is invalid or the notification cannot be delivered, we will select another winner at random. If a dispute arises over entitlement to a prize, the winner is the person to whom the email account was assigned by the appropriate agency, internet service provider, business, or organization. Each email address may win only once.

Prizes.

The 3 winners over the time of the promotion will each receive reimbursement of one technical certification up to $4,500 from GroundWork Open Source. The winners need to provide GroundWork proof of their participation in the certification or education program and a proof of payment for the course. The amount reimbursed will be the course cost, up to $4500 in value. The payment for the course is the responsibility of the participant. The reimbursement will be made directly to the particpant. The classes must be taken between June 14, 2010 and March 31, 2011. Winners need to provide the completed and paid course information within that timeframe to be eligible. Winners may be required to complete a declaration of eligibility and a publicity release before receiving the prize. Winners are responsible for paying all income and other taxes associated with the prize, if any. Accepting the prize grants us permission to use the winner's name, city, state, and likeness for promotional purposes without compensation or notice to the extent permitted by law. We may substitute another prize at our discretion.
