If comment is posted anywhere on Instagram OTHER THAN in response to the White Claw Spirits™ Vodka + Soda Custom Still Life Social Media Giveaway post on @whiteclaw (e.g., on one’s own Instagram account) such comment will not result in entry. If comment does not include #WhiteClawGiveaway, such comment will not result in entry. If a comment includes content in addition to the tagged friends, it will also not result in entry if it is determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion not to be in compliance with the following Content Restrictions. Including such additional content is purely optional and will not affect your odds of winning, provided that it is in compliance with the Content Restrictions.
Content Restrictions:
a) The comment must be original; that is, comment must not violate the trademark, copyright, right of privacy, right of publicity or other rights of any third party (this includes but is not limited to obtaining the consent of tagged friends beforehand, as discussed above);

c) The comment must be relevant to the White Claw Spirits™ Vodka + Soda Custom Still Life Social Media Giveaway post;

Subject only to the rights retained by Meta Platforms, Inc. (to the extent applicable), entrant grants to Sponsor and its designees the non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicenseable right and license to use, perform, exhibit, reproduce and/or otherwise exploit the comment in any manner and in any and all distribution channels, venues or media now known or hereafter devised, without further notice or any compensation to entrant. Entrant waives any “Moral Right of Authors” (Droit Moral) in the comment pursuant to U.S. law. Entrant further agrees, upon Sponsor’s request and without compensation, to sign any and all necessary and appropriate documents so as to effect, perfect or record such grant of license rights.
INSTAGRAM COMMENTS/ENTRIES REPRESENT SOLELY THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF THE APPLICABLE ENTRANT AND DO NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS/OPINIONS OF SPONSOR OR WYETH STUDIO F/S/O BELLA WATTLES IN ANY MANNER. SPONSOR IS MERELY REQUESTING PERSONS TO POST COMMENTS TAGGING AT LEAST TWO (2) FRIENDS (AND PERHAPS INCLUDING ACCOMPANYING CONTENT); AND SPONSOR AS WELL AS WYETH STUDIO F/S/O BELLA WATTLES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH SAME, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MODERATING, MONITORING OR REVIEWING COMMENTS POSTED BY ENTRANTS. SPONSOR AS WELL AS WYETH STUDIO F/S/O BELLA WATTLES WILL NOT EDIT OR MODIFY COMMENTS POSTED FOR THE GIVEAWAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH ADMINISTRATION OF THIS GIVEAWAY.
5. Entry Restrictions: Limit one (1) entry per person, family, household or address during the Giveaway Period regardless of the number of Instagram accounts that a person has. (But, a person may enter him/herself AND be a tagged friend of one or more other entrants). Violation of this entry limit will result in only the initial entry being accepted. But, Sponsor reserves the right to void all entries (and disqualify entrant from the Giveaway altogether as well as to prohibit such entrant from participating in future promotions offered by Sponsor) if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that a given person has engaged in egregious, blatant or repeated violations of the entry limit. Proof of submission of entry does not constitute proof of receipt of same or proof of entry. Receipt of entry may be acknowledged (including via comment posted by Sponsor @whiteclaw in response to comment posted by an individual) but such acknowledgment does not constitute any representation of eligibility for the Giveaway nor is it otherwise binding upon Sponsor. Entries generated by script, macro, robotic, programmed or like means are prohibited and will be disqualified. Use of third-party entities (e.g., commercial Giveaway services) to enter Giveaway on a person's behalf voids entry, will result in disqualification from Giveaway and possible prohibition from participating in future promotions offered by Sponsor. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, entry will be deemed submitted by the Authorized Account Holder of the e-mail account associated with the Instagram account used to enter the Giveaway as of date of entry. Authorized Account Holder means the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the e-mail address corresponding to the Instagram account used to enter the Giveaway.
If participating in the Giveaway via mobile device, message and data rates may apply. You may be charged by your wireless carrier for participating in the Giveaway by using your mobile device. It is therefore recommended that you consult your wireless carrier’s pricing plan BEFORE participating in the Giveaway via your mobile device. Not all mobile devices offer wireless Internet access and wireless Internet access may not be available in all areas.

7. Winner Determination/Odds: Winner will be determined in a random drawing on or about March 11, 2024 by VCCP Limited, an independent judging agency, whose decisions will be final in all matters relating to this Giveaway. Odds of winning will be determined by the total number of eligible entries received. (For the avoidance of doubt, if an entrant’s comment includes comment in addition to tagging two (2) friends, as long as such additional comment is in compliance with these Official Rules [including the Content Restrictions as set forth above], such comment will not be taken into account in the winner selection procedure.) Potential winner will be notified by direct message from @whiteclaw on or about March 11, 2024. IT IS THE INDIVIDUAL’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSURE THAT HIS/HER INSTAGRAM PRIVACY SETTINGS ALLOW FOR @whiteclaw TO NOTIFY HIM/HER VIA DIRECT MESSAGE INCLUDING SETTING HIS/HER INSTAGRAM PROFILE TO “PUBLIC.” Potential winner will be required to sign an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release (where lawful) within seven (7) business days of date indicated on notification materials. In the event of noncompliance with this requirement or if potential winner cannot be contacted for any reason, the Grand Prize will be forfeited without compensation of any kind and an alternate winner may be selected.
Except where prohibited, acceptance of the Grand Prize constitutes winner’s consent to use of his/her name, likeness and biographical data for advertising and promotional purposes without additional compensation.
