Participants with Sweepstakes Coins can use their Sweepstakes Coins to play sweepstakes games
on the Platform for a chance to win additional Sweepstakes Coins. Sweepstakes Coins
accumulated through game play can be redeemed for Prizes of monetary value in accordance with
these Rules.
Only games played with Sweepstakes Coins provide the opportunity to win additional
Sweepstakes Coins that may be redeemed for Prizes subject to these Rules.
Sweepstakes Coins that have been won through game play (rather than collected using one of the
methods described in Section 6 above) and are accumulated by Participant may be redeemed for a
Prize, subject to maximum and minimum Prize redemption amounts stated in these Official Rules.
Sweepstakes Coins possess no real monetary value and may only be used to request a Prize
redemption to be approved and processed by the Sponsor. Approval is subject to participant
completing all verifications to confirm eligibility and adherence to all Sweepstakes Rules and
Terms of Use of the Platform.
The use of automated or systematic methods of play to win and/or redeem Sweepstakes Coins for
Prizes is strictly prohibited. Utilizing methods such as utilizing multiple accounts and identities
and other collusive methods are not permitted and may result in account closure and forfeiture of
Sweepstakes Coins, in the sole discretion of Sponsor.
Sponsor’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes, the game and the
amount of winnings are final and binding.
Sweepstakes Coins obtained by any method in Section 6 are not immediately available for
redemption of a Prize and must be used at least once in a Sweepstakes Coins game before they
shall be considered eligible toward a Prize redemption request. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion,
require that any Sweepstakes Coins allocated to a Participant under any method in Section 6 must
be used more than one time (not exceeding 30 times) in any combination of Sweepstakes Coins
games before they are eligible to be redeemed.
POTENTIAL SWEEPSTAKES WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY
SPONSOR/PROMOTER (IN ANY MANNER IT MAY CHOOSE) AND THE DECISIONS
OF SPONSOR ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE
SWEEPSTAKES. A PARTICIPANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE
ONLINE SCREEN INDICATES THEY ARE, UNLESS AND UNTIL THE
PARTICIPANT’S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL WINNING PLAY HAS BEEN
VERIFIED AND THE PARTICIPANT HAS FULLY COMPLIED WITH THESE
OFFICIAL RULES AND BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE.
SPONSOR/PROMOTER WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER
PURPORTED EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF ITS VALIDATION PROCESS.
Participants may be required to successfully complete a Know-Your-Customer (“KYC”)
Verification process provided by the Sponsor to validate eligibility to participate before redeeming
any Prize. This may include, but is not limited to, providing proof of a valid government-issued
photo identification, biometric facial scan recognition, proof of address, and validation of SSN.
Potential Prize winners must comply with these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon
fulfilling all requirements.
If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to properly execute and return any required
affidavit/declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release within the required time period (if
applicable), fails to comply with these Official Rules, or if the Prize or Prize notification is
returned
as undeliverable, that potential winner forfeits the Prize.
The right to receive a Prize cannot be transferred or assigned.
The Prize is subject to availability, and if the Prize cannot be awarded for any reason, Sponsor
reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute the Prize with one of comparable or greater
retail value. No Prize substitution is permitted, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. We
reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refund purchases in lieu of processing a Prize
redemption.
Sponsor reserves the right to charge handling and/or payment processing fees for processing the
redemption of Prizes.
Each winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, local, or other applicable taxes associated
with the acceptance and use of the Prize. Each winner agrees and acknowledges that Sponsor may
be required to withhold and remit a portion of Prize value to comply with applicable tax laws. Each
winner also agrees to provide Sponsor with a valid social security number or any other information
Sponsor may require in connection with applicable tax reporting or withholding requirements or
other laws or regulations.
All costs and expenses associated with Prize acceptance and use not specifically provided herein
are the responsibility of the winner.
You acknowledge and agree that in some circumstances it may take up to 30 days to process the
payment of any redeemed Prizes to you. Redemption of Prizes may experience delays due to our
identity verification process. At Sponsor’s sole discretion Prize redemptions may from time to
time require a longer processing time than usual due to security and fraud checks and may also be
allocated in more than one equivalent lump sum. We make our best efforts to process requests
within the quoted amount of time but do not guarantee processing times for Prizes.
We will only process one Prize redemption request per customer account in any 1 day period.
Unless otherwise displayed on the Platform, to redeem a gift card Prize, you must have at least
twenty (20) sufficiently played-through Sweepstakes Coins. To redeem a cash Prize, you must
have at least one hundred (100) sufficiently played-through Sweepstakes Coins.
The maximum redemption of a Prize won by a single participant during any Sweepstakes Entry
Period is limited to the value of US $5,000 in Florida per Sweepstakes Entry Period (“Maximum
Redemption”). Any requested redemption in excess of the Maximum Redemption will not be paid
to the participant during the period, but must be deferred until the next Sweepstakes Entry Period.
Redemptions may only be processed upon completion of our identity verification process and
redemption method verification. All redemption methods must be in the name associated with the
account making the redemption. Users may be required to provide proof of payment methods used
to purchase Gold Coin packages on hikingnorth.site. Any modification or falsification of documentation
will result in immediate and permanent account closure and forfeiture of any prizes accrued. If a
user’s total redemption value exceeds $600, the user will need to provide a social security number
prior to the redemption for tax purposes.
You acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole discretion, from time to time, appoint one or
more payment administration agents to accept payments from players on our behalf. A payment
administration agent will have the same rights, powers and privileges that we have under the Terms
and these Official Rules and will be entitled to exercise or enforce their rights, powers and
privileges as our agent or in their own name. In no event shall we be liable to any player for any
loss, damage or liability resulting from the payment administration agent’s negligence and/or acts
beyond the authority given by us.
If we mistakenly credit your User Account at any time with Sweepstakes Coins that do not belong
to you, whether due to a technical error, human error, or otherwise, the amount will remain
property of Sponsor and will be deducted from your Customer Account. If you have been issued a
Prize that does not belong to you, the value of the mistakenly issued Prize will (without prejudice
to other remedies and actions that may be available at law) constitute a debt owed by you to us. In
the event of an incorrect crediting, you are obliged to notify customer support at
[email protected]. Sponsor, at all times, reserves the right to deduct Sweepstakes Coins from
your User Account or otherwise charge or adjust your account to correct errors.
It is your responsibility to retain copies of transaction records and these Official Rules as updated
from time to time.

officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the
“Released Parties”) from and against any and all claims, expenses, and
liability, including but not limited to negligence and damages of any kind
to persons and property, including but not limited to invasion of privacy
(under appropriation, intrusion, public disclosure of private facts, false light
in the public eye or other legal theory), defamation, slander, libel, violation
of right of publicity, infringement of trademark, copyright or other
intellectual property rights, property damage, or death or personal injury
arising out of or relating to a Participant’s entry, creation of an entry or
submission of an entry, participation in the Sweepstakes, acceptance or use
or misuse of Prizes (including any travel or activity related thereto) and/or
the broadcast, and exploitation or use of entry.
Except where prohibited by law, by accepting a Prize, the winner hereby grants Sponsor and its representatives an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and sub- licensable right and license to use, distribute, and publicly display the winner’s name, the contents of any posts, and information about the Prize award, in any way, at any time, in any and all media, including without limitation, for use in advertising and marketing, without any additional approval or consideration. By accepting a Prize, the winner represents and warrants that he or she has the right to grant the foregoing license.
Sponsor may actively seek damages from any person acting in bad faith to undermine the
legitimate function of the Sweepstakes to the fullest extent permitted by law. You may be
disqualified from the Sweepstakes if you violate these Official Rules or our Terms or Use.
Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering
with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these
Official Rules or in a disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the
legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law and, should
such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the
fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall
not constitute a waiver of that provision. In all other cases, Sponsor reserves the right to cancel,
suspend, and/or modify the Sweepstakes. Any notice regarding cancellation, suspension, and/or
modification will be posted on the Platform.
Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes or these
Official
Rules, or any part of the Sweepstakes or these Official Rules, with immediate effect owing to
circumstances outside its reasonable control and only where circumstances make it unavoidable if
any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the
integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
Any notice regarding cancellation, suspension and/or modification will be posted by Sponsor on
the Website. In the event of modifying the sweepstakes, a participant’s continued enrollment
and/or participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
Any Participant posting or seen to be posting comments on Sponsor’s social media pages or
elsewhere during the course of the Sweepstakes that are considered bullying, spiteful, or upsetting
to other participants or any other user of the Platform, or directly aimed at Sponsor, will have their
comments removed and will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right to
alert the operators of any social media sites to any such behavior.
All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
enforceability of
these Official Rules, the rights and obligations of entrants and the winner, and the rights and
obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of State of Arizona, without giving effect to any choice of
law or conflict of law rules.

be struck, and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.
