All potential winners are subject to verification before any prize will be awarded. Participants may enter only once and only the first entry received will be eligible for a prize. For purposes of these Official Rules, "receipt" of an entry occurs when Richardson Electronics’ servers record the survey and entry information resulting from entrant clicking the "Submit" button. Any automated computer receipt (such as one confirming delivery of email) does not constitute proof of actual receipt by Richardson Electronics for purposes of these Official Rules. Although subsequent attempts to enter may be received, only the first entry received from a particular individual email account during any twenty-four (24) hour period will be eligible; subsequent attempts to enter will be disqualified. Regardless of the number of email accounts from which an entrant may submit a survey, an individual may win only one prize.
All entries are subject to disqualification if material contained within entry is deemed inappropriate or offensive by Richardson Electronics in its sole discretion. Any entry whose material is deemed inappropriate or offensive by Richardson Electronics will be disqualified from the Survey Promotion and become ineligible for the prize selection.
Each entry will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted at the time of entry (i.e., the person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address).
Use of any automated system to participate (including but not limited to entries submitted using any robot, script, macro, or other automated service) is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Richardson Electronics is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected entries, which will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to submit will be deemed to be the participant or entrant, as described above. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
