The Sponsor is not responsible for the failure for any reason whatsoever of a Selected Entrant to receive a notification or for the Sponsor to receive a Selected Entrant’s response.

Except as otherwise provided by the Sponsor, the winner will be announced at 9:00 a.m. ET on February 10, 2025.

11. OTHER CONDITIONS: 

Amendment and Termination: The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate, suspend or amend this Contest or these Contest Rules at any time and in any way, without prior notice, including if the Contest, or any part thereof, is not capable of running as planned for any reason, including but not limited to human error, infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, programming errors, or technical failures, which, in the sole opinion of the Sponsor, corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Contest.

Governing Law: The Contest is void where prohibited by law. This Contest shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, including all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Contest Rules, rights and obligations between entrants and the Sponsor, and procedural provisions, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules.

 [A1]Osler Note: The template provides the option of the contest being open to either all residents of CAA’s catchment area OR active CAANEO members. Based on Julie’s email (that indicated this is a contest for members), we have selected the latter option.

 [A2]Osler Note: We note that this contest page appears to be active already and displaying the first draft of these rules (including the conflicting language about who is eligible to enter). We recommend updating it as soon as possible to avoid confusion.

 [A3]Osler Note: This language does not need to change, but it may create a significant administrative burden.

 

These releases can be useful for protecting the CAA against the risk of injury to attendees, the risk of attendees causing damage to CAA, and getting a clearer publicity release.

 

However, getting 125 Winner Releases signed is a significant undertaking, and it would provide a benefit to the CAA for—at best—25% of the attendees using these prize tickets (the contest entrant will be at most 1 out of the 4 tickets won). If you wanted their companions to sign releases as well to get the benefit of the release and indemnity, that would be 500 forms to manage.

 

We recommend giving some thought to whether having a release process is manageable for this contest. The CAA may decide that the likely risk is low for harm to attendees or the CAA and opt to forgo the process in this instance. If you go that route, you may leave the language in the rules to give you flexibility but simply not enforce the requirement to sign a release.
