7. Prizes: The promotional prizes are provided by the Sponsor. First Prize: One (1) First Prize winner will receive up to a maximum of $5,000.00 towards one home insulation upgrade (attic and/or floor) package. The insulation upgrade package must be approved by Sponsor prior to installation and be installed within one year of the date the winner is notified of their selection as First Prize winner. The insulation upgrade (attic and/or floor) will be determined based on an assessment by a licensed Energy Trust trade ally contractor (“Trade Ally Contractor”) and the Energy Trust Residential Program Manager (“Program Manager”). The insulation upgrade will not fund cosmetic projects.

The insulation upgrade package (attic and/or floor) is subject to an assessment by the Trade Ally Contractor and Program Manager which must occur within 90 days of notification of the award, and the final determination of attic and/or floor insulation is based on feasibility and safety. Award of the insulation upgrade is contingent upon the Trade Ally Contractor’s assessment confirming that the property is free from mold, structural issues, leaks or water intrusion, knob and tube wiring, and other health or safety issues and that the installation is structurally safe and feasible.

Each winner must execute a release of liability, declaration of eligibility, and publicity consent agreement before any prize is awarded. The first prize winner agrees to cooperate with scheduling of an initial home visit within 90 days of being notified of their selection.  All federal, state, and local taxes (including income taxes) and fees associated with the prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. The prize is non-transferable or non-redeemable for cash or exchange from any retail or wholesale outlet. Total approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the prizes is $5,090.

The second (2^nd), third (3^rd) and fourth (4^th) winners will each receive one (1) weatherization kit provided by Sponsor.  The ARV of the weatherization kits is $90.00. The prize is subject to availability, and Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a comparable model if necessary.

8. Odds: The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. For example, if there are 1,000 eligible entries for a drawing, the odds of winning per entry would be 1:1,000. Multiple entries will not increase your chance of being selected as a prize winner.

9. Winner Selection, Notification and Requirements: One winner for each of the first through fourth prizes (each a “Winner” and collectively the “Winners”) will be selected by a random drawing under the supervision of the Sponsor from all eligible entries on Friday, October 10. Winners will be notified by private message via the email address provided within 10 business days following selection of Winner. Each Winner will be required to sign and return a release of liability, declaration of eligibility, publicity release, and IRS Form W-9 within 10 business days of being notified.

Receipt by Winners of the prizes offered in this Drawing is conditioned upon compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

All potential winners are subject to verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Drawing. You are not a winner of any prize unless and until eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules have been verified and you have been notified that verification is complete.

Existing Condition of Winner’s Home: If the Trade Ally Contractor determines that insulation cannot be installed due to structural deficiencies, safety hazards, code violations, or any other issues, the sweepstakes prize will not cover the cost of remedying these issues. The Winner will be responsible for any necessary repairs before insulation can be installed.

The sweepstakes covers only the installation of insulation up to a maximum value of $5,000 and does not extend to unforeseen repairs or modifications required to accommodate the insulation. If the Trade Ally Contractor identifies additional work needed—such as electrical, plumbing, or structural adjustments—the winner may be declared ineligible at the Sponsor’s sole discretion unless such work is remedied to the full satisfaction of the Trade Ally Contractor within 14 days of the winner receiving the Trade Ally Contractor’s assessment and at the sole expense of the winner.
